There we go again. Because an effort isn't 100% perfect you label it a failure. How typical.
Gun control is the liberal version of the War on Drugs/War on Terror. A gun did not walk into a movie theater and kill anyone, a psycho took a gun in and killed them, the problem isn't the gun, it is the psycho.
I want one and I can afford one. That's all the reason you get.
I suppose you see no rational need for houses bigger than 500 sq feet, big screen TVs, or sports cars either.
But it is illegal, isn't it? And the police do stop people who go 150 MPH, don't they? They don't tolerate excessive speeding, like we tolerate the open sale of AR15 assault rifles.
But they aren't going to stop selling cars that can do 150MPH are they moron? No, because the car is not the problem, like the gun is not the problem.

Actually, most cars are electronically speed limited. Apparently this guy had like a 100 round clip or something crazy like that.
Oh I can and have. Nobody "might" have been injured because I'm not an asshat and don't endanger other people when I do it.
It was an absolute, 100% failure. And yes, there is no reason to limit law abiding citizens rights with more laws that are not going to do ANYTHING to deter gun crime. You are so woefully out of your mental depth discussing this subject. More emotions instead of rationality.
You lefties can keep sabre rattling all you want. Gun control is political suicide, nobody is going to do shit and you know it.
It doesn't have to be though. I'm trying to reason with people to get them to see past the NRA talking points, which are utterly stupid.
I wouldn't know. I'm an individual and don't include myself in any political organizations.
Yes it should be political suicide. I have other things to spend money on, I don't need to waste $20k on guns I don't have yet all at once just because another ban is being pursued.

It has been reported by multiple outlets that the suspect had, in fact, dyed his hair red and identified himself as The Joker to police.

No. Alcohol and tobacco use rates are far higher than marijuana, cocaine, or heroin precisely because of the war on drugs. You need to think harder. Or maybe less is more for someone like yourself.
Nope. Who the fuck do you think you are? King of the world?
You want to go 150 MPH on the highway but can't. You know why?
because you might injure another person on the highway.
You might want to shoot your gun in the general vicinity of a school, but you can't. know why?
You gun owners have proven time and time again you are not responsible enough to own them. End of story.
I appreciate what you are trying to say xJohnx, but the comparison isn't apples to apples.
No one could argue that with any potentially dangerous device human's never play a part.
The difference is that we have a massive infrastructure in place, from licensing to policing (including random checkpoints) to mandatory insurance (which prohibits some people from buying cars that can go 150 mph) to make sure most people, like exdeath, dont drive around at 150 mph. Nevermind all the safety features that have been built into cars to prevent people from dying.
We don't have anything even close to this when it comes to guns.
Whenever anyone tries to put in place anything which even sniffs of something similar for gun ownership, the NRA is there to block it.
