Crying? LOLZ. That's your job TexasChick. You pull a new tampon out every day while crying about TexasShockSyndrome. Whaaaaaa :'(
Now get back in the kitchen and make me another sandwich bitch.
Get serious.
Your still 22 behind a 2 week span in Detroit.
Cry harder.
Go to a gun show moronPlease explain these "express passes", because I would like to have one.
Having to provide id and going through a background check is a pain. I wish gun rights were treated the same as voter rights.
The path is clear, we either address TexasShriekers' mental health, or we continue to deal with his inane threads.

Sounds like someone has not been to a gun show or at least lately as the last few I've been only allowed dealers with FFLs. All gun purchases required ID and federal background checks.
So you knew one of the answers you were yet again just trolling as you normally do?No private sales?

How do the police know when a felon has a gun besides when they are arrested for another crime? what Texashiker secret police detection tactics would you use to get all the others who are not breaking the law in any other way and keeping their weapons concealed illegally?I have been to lots of gun shows. That was the first time I had heard of a gun show not allowing private sales.
You explain to me how private sales has anything to do with crime.
Keep in mind federal law requires felons caught with firearms to serve a minimum amount of time in prison. Why are criminals not being prosecuted for gun procession?
I'd be onboard with socialized healthcare if our government were actually proven competent. However, they've proven the contrary.I just gave you a plan, complete socialization of our healthcare.
All hospitals would government owned.
All nurses and doctors would be government employees.
All medical research would belong to the state and the people.
We would save billions right off the bat by ending profiteering. Take the billions that would go to profit, ceos, board of directors, stock holders,,, etc, and give that money to the people via services.
EDIT
How would we pay for this? End corporate welfare.

What the government should do is run their own nationwide health insurance company, and compete with the private companies. If the federal insurance Co. is a half decent option, more people will buy into it and put money into things like Medicare. If the government does a poor job, you have many other private companies to choose from. A more capitalistic approach that gives people the choice based on services and price, not strong arming everyone into a socialist system.

How does this help reduce crime or even help those who want to be educated? Forcing everyone in means you get a good amount of people who show up simply because they have to, and it lowers the overall effectiveness of the learning environment. This happens in public schools quite often. A couple class clowns can disrupt the learning environment pretty easily and since they have to be their, we can't kick them out.1. Open community colleges in low income housing areas. Make attendance mandatory for anyone living in public housing. Provide people on welfare with a clear path out of poverty.
The stigma of mental health problems isn't the only issue. If someone is crazy, do they think they are crazy? Are we going to, in the efforts to reduce violent crime, allow people to be recommended to mental health facilities and involuntarily checked in?2. Make mental health services free to the public, regardless of income levels. We as a society need to remove the stigma from mental health. If someone has a problem, society as a whole needs to address said problem.
3. End school bullying. Establish a national awareness program to end bullying.
The path is clear, we either address mental health, or we continue to deal with shootings like Sandy hook and Aurora Colorado.
No, only gun dealers are allowed
VA still allows private sales at its gun shows. You'll actually see people walking around with rifles in their backs with for sale signs on them.

People don't care about guns enough to change anything. Also, now is a great time to buy guns, and especially ammo. After the next massacre of helpless school children, you would be sure to turn a nice profit on that ammo when the next panic sets in. My only real question is, and this is an honest one, what will it take? I would stop there, but I will speculate.
Here is what it would take to actually do something about guns.
A school massacre every month, with at least 15 kids dying and many more wounded. Every month it would have to happen. High schools wouldn't work. It has to be little kids because high school kids are too much like adults. It doesn't tug at the heart strings of sick gun nutters enough to bring about change.
In addition, it would require widespread, random gun killing in the streets in just about every city everywhere, killing thousands every day across the nation, before heartless gun nutters decide that THEIR safety is finally at risk, so now something would have to be done.
There, that should do it after about 20 years of chaos like this. It would take patience, because change doesn't come quick, and gun nutters don't let go easily.
That's quite a fantasy you have there.
Oh come on we all know the 2nd amendment is just an archaic relic from a long by-gone era.
How many of the firearms used in mass shootings were bought at a gun show?
columbine for starters.
Do you believe it is so hard to obtain guns by illegitimate means that removing all gun show sales would stop people from obtaining them for violent acts?
The widespread availability of firearms in the US isn't going to be fixed by blocking private (at gun show) sales. Nor, is banning them altogether. It is estimated there are enough guns in the US for every man, woman, and child to be armed with one.
If guns were banned, then the only people who would have them are criminals, like drug dealers and people like that. That's a good thing, because most of the shootings that take place are people who weren't criminals, that is, until they shot up a bunch of kids.
When's the last time a crime boss, drug dealer, or even your average thug burglar busted into a school, movie theater or naval base and shot the damn place up? They haven't. Those were law abiding people who did those things who had easy access to guns.
