    If the new liberal anti gun laws are so Wunnerful the glitterati will no longer need armed guards to protect them

    1) the "assault weapons ban" didn't ban semi auto mag fed rifles. It banned same with some cosmetic features.
    2) You don't have to have a license or insurance to buy a car. Or a background check. Only to operate one on public roads. Nor do you have to pass a competency test to buy a vehicle.

    Not a problem - keep unlicensed or uninsured guns on private property which is where unlicensed or uninsured cars have to be kept

    Yes, Small changes, to make it harder for mentally ill to have access. Better diagnosing of mental illness.
    Perhaps even removal, from society until know the risks of the illness to society.

    The 3 generations is at a minimum.
    There is still the constitution to deal with, so, it will take a change in societal mindset. I have no idea if that will happen or not, especially after I am dead.

    Except that driving on public roads is a privilage

    Gun ownership is a constitutional right

    The best you can do is regulate an unliscenced car not prevent transporting a gun that is legally owned

    You've never been in an accident with someone who had no insurance?

    Lol

    I'm sure the law will keep the guy intending murder from taking his gun off his property. Totes.

    Good point

    Responsible drivers and responsible gun owners obey the law

    Criminals do not

    I would not want someone I care about to be the woman in Georgia who had to shoot an intruder 5 times to protect her children

    But it would have been even more horrible if she had not had a gun

    The point I'm making is you want useless virtue signaling that burdens only the law abiding and won't have the effect you claim to desire.

    So you agree - the guns/cars parallel fails as intended.

    The problem with school shootings is that they are not supposed to happen at all, regardless of gun restrictions... take for example countries like switzerland, they are armed yet no shootings there. Maybe the problem is actually rooted in the society rather than guns alone, which in any case should not be trusted to teenagers, even the smallest firearm should be forbidden for them.

    Things like bullying, racism, mental health, social emargination should be adressed as well as gun control i think...

    1. What year did Columbine happen again?
    2. What weapons were used in the school shooting that had the most casualties?
    3. How do you give someone a written test :roll: when people are illegally selling guns?

    Great.

    Let's make women responsible when they get raped too.

    If they had too much to drink, wore too revealing clothing, etc.

    If they took proper precautions, after all, they wouldn't get raped.

    Also make not reporting rape a crime, just in case.

    Oh look another leftist rationalizing murder.

    "This murder counts. This murder doesn't count."
    -A. Leftist, so called "moral authority"


    So lets recap the post you ignored (and continue to ignore):

    Kate Steinle was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Danny Oliver was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Michael Davis Jr. was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Donald Young was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Micah Lee Flick was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Eric Oliver was murdered by someone with a gun.


    Ever heard of any of those names?
    Ever read about them on your approved media sites?
    Ever made posts demanding "action" on threads talking about them?

    Looks like the answer to those three questions is NO.
    And now I'll clue you in as to why.
    Its because the murderer in those instances was an illegal immigrant.

    That's why you never heard about them.
    That's why your media never talked about them
    And that's why you don't care about them.

    Now tell me more about why you think you and your kind should get to dictate to the rest of us how our Constitutional Right should be infringed.

    What was the reason again?

    Because you "care about murder"?

    Uh huh.

    Sit down.

    No, it wouldn't.

    In fact I already gave you 8 posts in this very thread to demonstrate how and you couldn't do it.

    So please, enough.
