It’s certainly A piece to the puzzle, but obviously relies on humans to be honest, so it’s iffy at best….but worth at least attempting to implement nation wide. However, I don’t see GOP voters making it happen.
It sounds like your issue is with people who refuse to properly secure/store their gun, not with the actual ownership of the gun. There should be tougher laws on safety/storage of guns for gun owners.
They absolutely do. Guns are very effective at their intent: ending lifeI mean, I've known people who took overdoses, and survived. The only person I've known who successfully took their own life was a medical professional who had access to the "right" drugs and the knowledge of how to use them. Guns just make it so much easier to make irreversible spur-of-the-moment decisions.
But really why they are against such a basic thing???It’s certainly A piece to the puzzle, but obviously relies on humans to be honest, so it’s iffy at best….but worth at least attempting to implement nation wide. However, I don’t see GOP voters making it happen.
Marketing via logical fallacy arguments.But really why they are against such a basic thing???
I completely agree. Proper gun stotage and actual consequence for not following proper storage rules should be the bare minimum. Most gun people wouldn't support that, though, especially people that think they need their gun available for self defense at all times. A ton of gun safes and locks are also trivially easy to defeat, so there would be to be some type of really standard there as well.It sounds like your issue is with people who refuse to properly secure/store their gun, not with the actual ownership of the gun.

"A locked up gun is no good for self defense" and probably the real reason they don't want to have to be a "responsible" gun owner under threat of any type of liability.But really why they are against such a basic thing???
Better than nothing but appropriate storage only protects against some bad outcomes. Some issues I see:What about something like this? https://stopboxusa.com/products/stopbox-pro-1
I watched the video on how to change the combination and the 81 possible combinations is due to there being a 1/2 press as well as all the way out and all the way in. These positions are set via interchangeable keys (buttons) for the 3 positions. The weird thing is the video describes the 'all the way out' key as a "dummy" key that has no effect on the lock bar. To me that would imply that if you used that one, it wouldn't matter if you pressed it or not, thus reducing your potential number of combinations significantly.Better than nothing but appropriate storage only protects against some bad outcomes. Some issues I see:
- Doesn’t prevent the gun owner from using the weapon when drunk, high, angry, ill, depressed etc to shoot himself or family.
- 81 combinations is few enough that a kid home alone could run through them all in about 20 minutes.
- Need more information on how the combinations work. I see 4 buttons which if they only go up or down is 2^4 (16) combinations not 81. There must be a 3rd position 3^4 =81 - not sure how they implemented it and whether it will make it difficult to access the gun quickly.
Perfect example of what I meant when I said most gun storage is easy to defect, or in this case complete junk.What about something like this? https://stopboxusa.com/products/stopbox-pro-1
To be fair, that is the original stopbox. The original link in this thread is for the Stopbox Pro, which has the 81 combinations. As an adendum, the original stopbox can be upgraded to the same lock style as the pro: https://stopboxusa.com/products/actuator-accessory-pack-pre-orderPerfect example of what I meant when I said most gun storage is easy to defect, or in this case complete junk.
There are many other videos of him defeating all kinds of gun locks and safes with very little effort. I think gun lock companies know gun nutters care more about the illusion of safety than actual safety.
Doesn't look like he has done the Pro yet. But 81 combinations is a joke and would take a kid a few minutes to try all of time.To be fair, that is the original stopbox.

No idea if the "Pro" version is any better.

My family ran a company that hired and managed armed guards for businesses. I have known a lot, literally hundreds, of people that own and carry guns daily, including almost everyone in my family. I don't think any of them have any device to secure their firearms. Most of them have a fancy glass cabinet that they keep their long arms in that if it even has a lock on it (and they bother to lock it) is the cheap furniture locks that any 10 year old can unlock with a paperclip.I fully support gun storage laws, but I don't think they are enough. It's more of a Band-Aid than a solution, but Band-Aids still serve a purpose. It doesn't ultimately fix the underlying issue of why people want to take their lives. I think we are too focused on removing the tools that people use to do tragic things than we are on working on helping them not want to do the tragic things.
Believe it or not, the majority of "gun-nutters" support such laws and probably already own proper storage devices that both keep the gun safe from children AND keep the gun available for self defense. There are many such storage solutions.
I guess that's nice and all, but they don't vote for people that are going to enact any of those laws, so...I fully support gun storage laws, but I don't think they are enough.

corrupt Republican judges
The Constitution of the United States does not explicitly address the impartiality of judges. However, the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a fair trial, which includes the right to have a judge who is impartial and unbiased.
How can a judge be impartial if he isn't politically neutral?Additionally, the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, which is a set of ethical guidelines for federal judges, requires judges to maintain impartiality in all their activities, including hearing cases, making decisions, and interacting with parties involved in a case. The code emphasizes the importance of judges acting with integrity, independence, and impartiality in order to uphold public trust and confidence in the judiciary.
Pussy ass Uvalde Police and the rest of the hundreds of dickless Texas police that showed up to guard the parking lot while those kids were being murdered are trying to make the Uvalde school police chief the fall guy. Fuck the Uvalde police and every other useless piece of shit in a badge who showed up there and then did nothing. If that isn't the clearest sign yet that police budgets should be slashed and a lot of these gangster leeches fired I don't know what else would be.Former Chief, future Convict?

due to the total lack of training for emergency response scenarios those cops should have had but didn't.

Most of those cops are so fat they couldn’t run a hundred yards. If they confronted the shooter, half of them would have died of massive heart attacks. Cops these days are a joke. An absolute joke. For many reasons, but the principal reason is they aren’t allowed to do their jobs.
Confront a hoodlum on the street? Not worth the trouble and mountain of paperwork, and an overzealous lefty prosecutor will more than likely send my a** to prison. I’ll just sit here and drink coffee and eat donuts.
Disband the whole works. A waste of money. The same goes for public schools. What a joke.
