Political Discussion
Let me help you. Immigration laws don't work if they aren't enforced. That would be the same with gun laws. |
And why are communities in red states per capita more likely to have mass shooting than blue states? |
And why are criminals in blue cities in blue states sourcing guns from red states? |
Great well can red states enforce laws more effectively to reduce their significant problems with straw purchased and gun trafficking? Cause they really f*ing suck at it |
DP and clearly basic existing additional layers of gun legislature in blue states is doing something if their criminals can't source their guns locally and bring them in from red states. |
Someone obviously didn't take stats class. |
I took a lot of them actually. I meant communities in red states vs communities in blue states. I assume by "communities" you mean urban cities. So? |
PS still waiting for an answer on why chicago criminals source their guns from far away? Same for other blue states? Anyone? Crickets? |
Exactly. Which is why it’s silly to point to Mexico as some example in the failure of gun laws. It’s not exactly like they have a functioning government doing anything to curtail gun crimes. |
They get half in illinois |
I'm not pointing to Mexico so much as red states' lax gun laws contributing to Mexico crime as well as domestic US crime in blue states because that's where most guns are sourced from when traced in blue city crime - they come from red states with lax gun laws who do sh*tty jobs to curtail straw purchases and gun trafficking and so are liable in contributing to arming criminals who are far away from those states. So getting back to the issue, let's focus on blue cities in blue states, why the criminals in those cities source their guns from red states per gun tracing studies? |
And half not because they can't and because red states are totally sh*tty at straw purchase control. At any rate, are you a parent? What is your research based suggestion for curtailing gun crime or you are just cool with babies being slaughtered and red states supplying criminals everywhere with guns? -Mother of two elementary school children -Good friend personally knew family/child involved in Sandy Hook -Family and friend of teachers and law enforcement -Close family member happened to not be at Buffalo grocery store the day of that shooting -Live in city where I have heard gunshots from my house on multiple occasions -Work in healthcare so know all to clearly the difference between handgun wounds and rifle wounds and what they can do to a person's body -Work in healthcare where I spent a half hour under a desk during an active shooter scare (And we have had people pull guns in our ER and did have an actual shooting that killed a healthcare worker years ago) I say all of this repeatedly because the only responses I get from people on the right are sarcasm, bluster, stalling, deflecting and pretending it's no big deal. Generic platitudes of "enforce existing laws" and "loss of family values." Blah blah blah. This is personal, it's real, and my anger isn't generated from reading left wing news so much as personal experience. What are your solutions? Anything other than generic platitudes and sarcasm? |
Still waiting. |
I'm not cool with the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 14th ammendments being violated as that is what it would take to solve the problem. I grew up in a Communist country and have no desire to give up those freedoms. A place where due process does not exist. |
Oh, you're that person. I know you from the other thread. I literally have posted repeated responses to you, and pointed out that blue states already have constitutionally allowed measures in place that work and they aren't communist places. Others pointed out that other non-communist countries have sensible gun legislation. After all of that, I don't have much to say to you, so that's that. If anyone new wants to respond from the right sided POV, by all means, have at it. |
