Another day ... / mass shooting

Started out that way. But states are passing laws making that permanent.

Thanks.

I think we agree other than the last point. Although there should be a minimum mandatory sentence that gets added onto the sentence for the crime.

Many states already have laws like this, especially for convicted felons committing a crime with a gun.  However, those are usually the first changes that get dropped.   Laws are only as good as how diligently they're prosecuted... except those which restrict law abiding citizens (since by definition they follow the law).

The clown of a judge who likened AR-15s to "Swiss Army knives" thankfully had his recent ruling about the constitutionality of California's assault rifle ban overturned by an appeals court.

    Make them go through training, heavily tax guns and ammo.     And locks for their long guns.    Just like everybody else.

  this is includes everyone?  tax stamps for all ammo maybe?  what do you propose for penalties?  more "gun free zones" ?

    gang bangers loving all of this...

Insurrectionists would love it, too, as we've seen.

Now be fair, Unk. To our knowledge, most of the seditionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol at the behest of their god did so without guns. Some in the violent cult even used flagpoles carrying the American flag to beat cops senseless -- very creative! Others set up nooses to "Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!"

Law and order, don'tcha know.

""to your knowledge"??  i'm still waiting for the 10,000 hours of video and the name of the cop who killed the lone innocent person. the only good thing was she was white or BLM and anitfa would have burned the capital down like the police precincts in other cities. careful of what you've heard so far because there's oh so much more to this "incident" than you are making it up to be.  usually "journalists" try to gather as much factual info as they can before wetting their collective skirts.  as long as the (mis)information fits a narrative and an agenda, it's put out there as "fact"  this one incident cannot hole a candle to the hundreds of "peaceful protests" held around the country for over a year-many more deaths and dollars worth of destruction, people's businesses trashed, lives ruined,  classic not letting a crisis go to waste here at the expense of "journalism"

That's the stupidest thing I've ever read on scoop.

It's also the scariest. People actually believe that nonsense.

perfect. the only thing you left out was that the deadly insurrection at the capitol actually was perpetrated by antifa, dressed up like your god's cultists.

doQter rocQet, you're a lost cause.

I kinda think it is awesome that a violent attempt to overthrow the U.S. Government and hang the Vice President (of the same party as the insurrectionists no less!) is dismissed by these benighted, willingly brainwashed fools as "one incident".

[MU82]

Back to guns ...

Biden is at least trying to address the horrors that the Wild Wild West gun culture have unleashed on our great democratic republic.

Will any of them "work"? If the only way to measure it working is by having all gun violence cease, then no. But if it saves a few lives, gets a few dirty gun dealers in trouble, keeps a few guns out of a few mentally unstable people's hands, and moves forward important conversations on this topic, it will have "worked," even if only incrementally.

And BTW, not only doesn't it "defund the police," it adds funding for local police forces -- in part to help them pay for ways to avoid needlessly violent confrontations with the public.

Apparently you are not familiar with rocketbrain. Your statement would be appropriate for at least half of his posts.

It is good to know, though, who amongst us supports the overthrow of the U.S. government.

The difference of course being the one was an attempt to overthrow our democracy and the other is a reaction to hundreds of years of oppression. Both actions are wrong and the scale of the second is larger than the first, but the first is much more concerning. I can both condemn and empathize with the rioters. I can only condemn the insurrectionists.

[wadesworld]

Some Scoopers promised that there would be no protests, riots, or violence if Sleepy Joe won, only if Our Lord and Savior Donald Trump won because snowflake liberals cannot accept things not going their way.  So of course they're going to ignore the insurrection.  It wasn't going to happen.  Conservatives were going to just tip their cap to a hard fought campaign and congratulate Sleepy Joe on his well earned victory.

Or something like that.

I haven't been keeping up here, but this seems to be off the rails and clearly political at this point.
