So you want to rule that out. And it cannot be stopped. And the status quo cannot remain.Then what do you want? Just to scream on a message board so you feel better?
If restricting people's access to certain guns, making people register their guns with the government and limiting those with mental illnesses from getting guns, is "punishment" in your eyes, so be it.Or you can propose doing nothing and continue to watch people die. A good guy with a gun did not prevent Vegas. It did not prevent Texas. It will not prevent the next.The people who find any excuse for inaction, such as yourself, are in very much in a way responsible for the continued carnage. YOU are a toadie for the gun industry. Despite all your supposed intellectualism, you are being lead around by a bunch of people who care only about their wallets. Blood is on YOUR hands my friend. YOU are part of the problem.
I support any sanctions toward politicians accused of sexual impropriety. Of both parties. I'm glad the floodgates have opened in Hollywood. Bring it out into the open. Expose the predators and hypocrites, regardless of profession or political persuasion.
If restricting people's access to certain guns ... donemaking people register their guns with the government ... done (we register the gun owners, not the guns themselves)limiting those with mental illnesses from getting guns ... doneBesides proposing what has been the law for decades, what else you got? Or you can propose doing nothing and continue to watch people die. A good guy with a gun did not prevent Vegas. It did not prevent Texas. It will not prevent the next.Why do you say this? Becuase it goes against your political philosophy? Again .. you were the guy that said the status quo cannot continue. I'm, open to hearing what you want.But all you propose is what is already existing law, suggesting you don't really understand the issue and reject the thing that has not been tried (good guy with a gun). So you have nothing and they screaming and whining. If I wrong, tell me what you want.
Hold all pols to a high standards. They are supposed to be leaders.The Orange Creep's followers who openly voted for an admitted sexual criminal now demand Franken's scalp. Please, please - will someone explain?
You’re lying. It isn’t all existing law. Stop being dishonest and wash the blood off your hands. History will judge you as one who sit back and philosophized yet did NOTHING. Congrats.
Where did he admit he was a sexual criminal? I missed this.And isn't Hillary more a criminal on this front? She led the effort to destroy every one of Bill's sexual accusers.So, the Orange Creep's voters picked the least offender of the two.And let's go down this road you want all these people "gone" or just the ones you disagree with politically?Trump - GoneRoy Moore - GoneFranken - GoneBill Clinton - GoneHillary Clinton - GoneBernie "everyone women wants to raped" Sanders - GoneJoe "Handsy" Biden - GoneHW "cop-a-feel" Bush - GoneJohn Kennedy - Gone ( the worst offender of the last 50 years, pedophile)Theodore Roosevelt - Gone (off Mt. Rushmore)Mark Cuban - Gone... and this is just what we know. So are you bi-partisan on this?

Who's screaming? Why do you feel the need to speak in absolutes? What I want is something, anything to be done. No, not all mass shootings can be stopped. I strongly believe steps can be taken to both reduce the amount of them and magnitude of the carnage. Sure, a good guy with a gun can potentially help in such a situation. Or such an individual can harm other bystanders. To rely on that as a solution is idiotic. You're a real piece of work.
How many mass shootings in Australia since they bought back the guns?
Ok, all you have is to scream "do something." For the third time, what part of what I said is existing law is wrong? But now you seem to be coming around to my idea about a "good guy with a gun." I guess that is progress.I strongly believe steps can be taken to both reduce the amount of them and magnitude of the carnage. Ok, and for the fourth time ... what?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
The 538 article Heisy posted is not wrong. It is impossible to know how many mass shootings were stopped by Australia's gun buyback. You can't prove a negative.....but it's also hard to argue with those results.I agree that a buyback here wouldn't stop all gun violence. But I think it could make a significant impact. In fact, I think it would make the biggest impact in places like Chicago which is often the first thing pro-gun folks bring up after mass shootings.
Where did he admit he was a sexual criminal? I missed this.
Chicago has had several buybacks. They never work as the majority of guns are either broken or collecting dust in someone's basement. No bad guys sell their gun.
I believe he is referring to both the admitted "wet hairy cat grabbing" which he dismissed as locker talk and the comments about going into the dressing room of the miss universe pageants when the contests were naked. Both of these things, which at one point he claimed to do, could be considered sex crimes if the stories were true.
I'm sure they have. Make them bigger. Offer more. Make it a part of a nationwide effort. While some people hold that our views on guns will never change, I don't believe that. I think with every mass shooting, more and more moderates are starting to believe that gun control is the answer to gun violence. The extremes may be getting more polarized, but I think the moderates on this topic are starting to shift in favor of gun control.
Good guys with guns is not the solution.
Bad guys don't sell their guns back.
The sexual assault and harassment stuff has been a time bomb since Clinton. When the National Organization for Women refused to do anything and stayed quiet it was one of the great disappointments to the women's movement. Terrible path to take. Enabled the actions with double standards. Only now is he finally being condemned and his accusers believed. Decades were lost. The left now saying he should have resigned rings hollow decades later. If he had done it then, imagine how far ahead we would be with this? The most powerful man in the world taken down by those actions, but not to be. It would have woke people. Now Hollywood and other people of power are getting theirs, though it has also become weaponized. The carnage will be wide.
