    Oh, now I am part of the violence problem. Looks like you were not done with the blame shifting.

    Sorry if it offends you, but I find blame shifters worse than dishonest (they bear false witness). I stand by the points I made (which you avoided addressing).

    Brilliant. Let's solve a problem by making a bigger one because after all, what could go wrong.

    No! The "remedy" is ONE law: ban all firearms in the hands of the general public. But, since that is not possible, we need restrictions to REDUCE the number of incidents and the number of deaths.

    I think it's more a sickness of legislators who play politics with the life of children. But whatever sickness it is, clearly this is the only country in the world that has it.

    I have said nothing about "confiscation". I'm preparing a thread on that topic.

    But "all" is a term used very sparingly by people who don't think binarily. And too frequently by people who don't want to think in real solutions.

    Is that the Baptist church where the pastor openly admitted to raping a 16 year old girl under the guise of just "adultery" and asked the congregation for forgivness and they paraded up to surround him and lay hands on him.......and ignore the girl? That baptist church? Yeah, those are the responsible gun owners.

    None. If you want to twist things around then less than the car companies.

    Yes, do that first, and then you might be able to pass a lot of gun control laws that are currently unconstitutional. Remind me again, how many states have voted for repeal so far?

    Well, let's start with: what do you mean by "stronger background checks"?

    Maybe even before that actually: Do you understand how the current "background check" system operates?

    You seem to be avoiding my question. You claim no morality is used to create laws, yet you have no answer for abortion laws.

    Are you willing to give up your job and sit in a hallway 8 hours a day in case a shooter comes in?

    Owned and operated by teachers.......? We are quickly going in the other direction with FL and TX getting the government involved in micro managing every word that is uttered in schools.

    Lot of elementary school teachers are young women, and you want them to be prepared to engage in a gunfight...? That's a bit of a pipedream.

    Actually, the issue is the lobbiests. Both Sides of the Aisle are hooked on corruption and that ****s up representation of the average citizen.

    It is funny how teachers are expected to be qualified and able to educate, but also be Annie Oakley.
    What next, burger flippers also need to be marine biologists at the same time?

    You're not the one in danger from "creatures" like this nut. 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders are.

    It's amazing how incentivized this country has become about human life... and particularly about the life of children.

    Democrats won't move at all on gun control -- especially not now.
    There's already a very good chance they will lose the House/Senate, and they remember 1994 / 2010

    That is, they value their own partisan political power over "doing the right thing".

    The Constitution of the United States, exactly as written and AMENDED is the absolute bedrock of this country! Can you name a similar foundational codex that is more, uh, "perfect"...? But, since you find fault with amendments, per se, do you quarrel with the legitimacy of freeing people in slavery, or in the right of women to vote...?!

    Every person who has entered military service for the United States has taken an oath (OATH) to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." But, you would cavalierly rewrite the Constitution merely because you think it is not a "perfect document"?

    How did you find that? All the pics with Martin and his gun were scrubbed from the internet because they were racist.

    How about education ?
    In high school, I recall a mandatory course that touched on a whole list of social issues. I think they called it "Hygiene" , simply because they couldn't come up with a more banal description. There were lectures on drug abuse, teen pregnancy, smoking, STD's , CPR and First Aid etc.

    How about adding Firearms Safety and Mental health to the curriculum ?

    Define stronger.
    The current system check to see if a person is legally prohibited from having a firearm - f not, it goes through.
    No background check system will stop a purchase by someone who can legally own a firearm.

    Your response is irrational and devoid of reason
    So: No.

    I'm not trying to convince you.

    I took 5 minutes to answer you, I don't care if you can't understand why the US has so many mass shootings while there are so few elsewhere, especially in Canada.
