Filibuster for Gun Safety

[Anonymous]

So, let's continue the status quo where someone on the no fly list can legally purchase a weapon?

Let's accept that 20 dead first graders and 100 dead or injured club goers is just a sad fact of life? Because why the hell even try since criminals will get weapons anyway?

Come on. That is insane and you all know it.

Let's talk about the millions around the world killed after guns were taken. Each of those children dead via Mao and Hitler were equally as precious as those killed in Newtown.

This is a false analogy.

Were all drugs legal, they would be much, much easier to get. Right now, you can't simply walk into WalMart and buy some crack cocaine or heroin or percocet.

But if you want to own a gun, march into WalMart and lay down your money. Or go to a gun show and you can buy any gun you'd like with no fear of a background check.

Making assault weapons illegal would make them much harder to get. There would be fewer mass shootings. Countries with strict gun control laws do not have anywhere near the number of gun deaths as we have in the US.

There have been 16 mass shootings in Obama's presidency. Each time the President asks for more gun control. Each time, the NRA-backed Republicans refuse to back even the smallest changes to gun control laws. More shootings, more pleas, more families destroyed, more lives lost, and it continues and continues.

When will the sane people stand together and say enough is enough?? Too many people have died in mass shootings in which the shooters used assault weapons!! Ban them!! It's not a perfect solution, but it's a start.

Either you're a troll or you are a completely insane gun owner.

In either case, just cut out the crap. Go away.

I don't agree with everything Trump wants to do, but I am glad he wants to ban the sale of guns to those on the no fly list. The other republicans, it seems they are more concerned with everyone being able to buy guns than keeping us safe. For all their tough talk they are soft on terrorism in my eyes. We all know HRC and the Dems would go too far with gun control. Trump may be the best hope on common sense measures. Never thought I'd say that a year ago!
