Exactly. So fixated on the past. And one would think the responsible gun owners wouldn’t want to be linked to these nut jobs. Nope they’ll just throw their hands in the air - too many guns nothing can be done about it.

That's a bridge many will die on.
Fact that they have gone MAGA only makes that ultimatum far more likely. Cannot break norms and expect norms to hold us back. If they declare Democracy is dead, then so is their 2A.
Every gun owner is a Responsible Gun Owner™ until something happens, then the membership is retroactively revoked and Responsible Gun Owners™ deny said Irresponsible Gun Owner was ever a member.Exactly.

I doubt they'd want them. Mostly inappropriate caliber, or inappropriately maintained.I have a great idea. Good citizens of the USA should donate all their weapons to Ukraine. Problem solved.
We do that with parenting, /shrug.Every gun owner is a Responsible Gun Owner™ until something happens, then the membership is retroactively revoked and Responsible Gun Owners™ deny said Irresponsible Gun Owner was ever a member.
The argument is where the middle can come together to shut out the extremes but I think sensible to me is about 78% approved by the population.Well...I'm sure everyone is glad to know that a GPS system for school teachers is working to help police get to the school crime scenes faster is working. Cause that's way better to get to a crime scene where students are dead than to work to prevent crime scenes altogether. /s
Most people fighting for mental health and background checks of people buying guns are not against the second amendment. I happen to think guns can be an enjoyable past time. BUT IT MUST BE DONE RESPONSIBLY. And that's where conservative raging gun nuts such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others of her ilk, are hurting Americans.
The free flow of guns with zero checks or safety measures hurts all of us. Something as simple as requiring a mental health exam and a gun safety class, as well as a standard background check, can reduce gun violence. Will it prevent all gun violence? Of course not. But anything that prevents one extra senseless death is something I will always advocate.
Instead of spending money on emergency response measures, we need to advocate for sensible gun ownership. Anyone against sensible gun ownership, every single gun death that is not a true accident is on your hands.
No I didn't watch your video. If violence desires/actions in people is curable on a wholesale level why does anyone need guns? The idea that we can "cure" violence within 400 million people easier than making guns harder to access is ridiculous.The human nature you suggest has no fix is your personal mental prison. Looks like you didn’t watch the link I suggested you consider. You feel violence within you has no cure because you do not want to feel again the pain that caused that rage. Your saying that fixing it is impossible, while imagining that the 2nd amendment and the numbers of people who don’t want to lose rights are no big issue. Other countries did it.
I heard that when the Dalai Lama was faced with the choice of fighting or giving up control of Tibet, he told the Chinese to take it. If other countries can do that why not us? The military has lots of guns. How far should we go eliminating them?
The second amendment doesn't ban (or at least didn't) restrictions on firearms. With a non-insane supreme court, semi-automatic guns could be banned. Australia did it, and they have plenty of conservatives too. I'm guessing what they really lacked is the NRA.Every other first world nation doesn't have the 2A in their Constitution, nor Republicans. Show me one that's climbed that hill and we'll talk.
It surprises me that you do not see the rationalization you introduce into your argument to convince you of it correctness. You can't cure 400 million in a blink of an eye. I can't get you to watch a single video that might suggest to you a different approach nor do I have any issue with tightening gun access. The issue is really very simple. Violent people are killing others with guns. Tighter gun laws seem like they are in order. It would be nice, however, if people were not violent especially to the level that they want to kill innocent people.No I didn't watch your video.

I mean, it kind of does. The Constitution defines the limits of the government and the 2A says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. It's frankly easily argued that every arm humans ever develop cannot be restricted by the govt, and I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet.The second amendment doesn't ban (or at least didn't) restrictions on firearms.

No the single issue is, is the US just more inherently more violent than the rest of the sane world? Or is the cause something else? Hmmmmm???? You solve the issue by removing that cause.It surprises me that you do not see the rationalization you introduce into your argument to convince you of it correctness.

Of course, so many guns used by adults were obtained very near the event. Which is why the Brady bill included waiting periods.Authorities said Couch purchased the weapon and about 1,000 rounds of ammunition Saturday morning in London. Couch has a military background, having served in the National Guard for at least four years, said Capt. Richard Dalrymple of the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.

Joseph A. Couch, was first named as a person of interest and later as a suspect in the shooting after authorities said they recovered his SUV on a service road near the crime scene.apnews.com
Surprised? Me neither.
Yeah, I'll believe we can cure violence in every American around the same time we cure over eating and meth use.No the single issue is, is the US just more inherently more violent than the rest of the sane world? Or is the cause something else? Hmmmmm???? You solve the issue by removing that cause.
Ignorant gunless Canadian here. But what does one need 1000+ rounds? Going to obliterate that poor deer if going hunting.
You can buy .22's in a 500ct brick. 1000 rounds isn't much, unless it's really expensive.Ignorant gunless Canadian here. But what does one need 1000+ rounds? Going to obliterate that poor deer if going hunting.
lol duck hunting with an AR15Duck hunters need not apply.
More meant round count. Unless I'm mistaken, they have a higher propensity to sit in one spot, collecting kills over a full morning/day, so they may bring more hunting ammunition than say, a deer hunter.lol duck hunting with an AR15
Solving the issue by work to eliminate the cause is exactly what I am pushing for. The only difference between us in my opinion is that you don’t want to deal with the cause. Have you acted with anger, rage, violence toward others in your life? If so then you have the exact same sickness that school yard killers have.No the single issue is, is the US just more inherently more violent than the rest of the sane world?
