It was a trap question to see which of the gun control advocates on this board knew what they were talking about - for them the correct answer would have been handguns but none of them responded.

Shouldn’t we all be “gun control” advocates at this point? Clearly there isn’t enough control. I know that is a dirty oppressive word, but idc. I mean we control driving, alcohol, weed, etc etc for the most part. Why not guns?

Can I be pro gun control and pro second amendment, or has the NRA done their job? Anyone who would like guns to stay out of bad peoples hands (or at the very least harder to get ur hands on than a beer), is now someone who wants to take everyone’s guns away…..
It is a fuckin joke how easy it is for any jerk off to get their hands on a gun, and it is a fuckin joke that thinking that makes me anti guns, anti American, etc etc etc.

There is a lot of highway between me having a gun at home for safety and self defense purposes and the crazy 18 year old kid down the street buying an ar 15 and 100 rounds of ammo. No doubt changes are needed asap.

I was a bit irritated when I posted this. I was just coming off a discussion with one of my coworkers who was convinced an outsized proportion of homicides were committed with "assault rifles" and wouldn't accept that approximately 90% were actually committed using handguns (close to 95% of firearm deaths overall). I think too much attention and energy is focused on trying to ban AR15s (I'd be all for raising the age to purchase and own them to 21/use requiring someone over 21 being present) but focus should be on how to reduce number deaths where handguns are used.

Still think my ideas of incentivizing the sale and development of smart weapons(which is essentially banned in this country), gun safes, better locks and training are good ones.

This only prevents accidental shootings.

Dear prolifers, children are dying from gun violence, what are you going to do about it? Nothing!

Unless black people arm themselves because you’re totally not scared of black people.

It also mitigates someone else using a different person's weapon. Sandy Hook could have been prevented this way and criminal use of stolen weapons. That said it is only a mitigation as I said it is an incentive to buy these systems not ban other weapons. My idea would be no sales taxes on this type of equipment.

As for your second comment - I do admit I'm scared of my wife.

We should distinguish between homicides and mass shootings.

True but then that changes the agenda of the anti gun control.


Just a point of interest here. We passed a Bill protecting the the SC Justice's faster then we pass one to protection our children in school ,think about that.
