Can you also address the daily shootings in inner-cities which you ignore because it doesn't fit with your agenda? What is your plan for disarming the drug dealers who are constantly shooting people over turf wars for narcotics sales? Just ignore it and ramble on about AR-15's? |
DP, we should implement Australia's policy: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-can-australias-reaction-to-a-mass-shooting-teach-us-about-guns-and-gun-control/ - banned the sale and importation of all automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns; forced people to present a legitimate reason, and wait 28 days, to buy a firearm; and – perhaps most significantly – called for a massive, mandatory gun-buyback. Australia's government confiscated and destroyed nearly 700,000 firearms, reducing the number of gun-owning households by half. |
Well, if you can muster it, two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote to propose an amendment, or two-thirds of the state legislatures can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. To ratify amendments, three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve them, or ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states must approve them. Now get on with it! |
We already had an assault weapons ban for a decade. It was fine and did not need any of that. |
I spent five minutes googling a policy that I know has been effective. If your point is that it may require a constitutional amendment and will never be implemented by the right, then you need to do some soul searching as to why the right refuses to implement reasonable policies other than "thoughts and prayers"...because muh "freedoms". |
Your assault weapons ban didn't cover any guns already in circulation. Secondly, do you believe criminals are just going to turn in their guns? |
It's time for you to get off of google and start UNDERSTANDING issues, not parroting idiocy because you read it. If it's on the intertubes, why it must be true! |
Firstly, the argument was about the ban did not violate the constitution so don't change the subject. Secondly. Some of the criminals will go for the cash and others will be subject to the penalties under the law for breaking the law. |
I don't need a lecture from some NRA ass kisser to understand that the majority of voters in this country want stricter gun control and weapons bans and intend to keep at it until they get it. |
Okay, PP, what do you propose? What specific policies do you suggest will address gun violence? Not sound bites like "get tough on crime". What specific policies do you expect to be implemented at the local, state and national level to address this beyond "thoughts and prayers"? |
Not the gun but poster but let me guess....guns for everyone and then we will all be safe and sound. |
| Gun nut* poster... |
Yes, sorry to tell you, but your soft-on-crime attitudes are causing crime. Stop pushing new policy and putting law enforcement, judges and district attorneys in place that won't enforce the policies we already have instantiated. I know that doesn't comport with your pre-canned ideology. I don't really care. BTW, violence with a flame thrower is so much better than "gun" violence. Maybe there is no gun violence? Maybe it's people who pull the trigger violence. But that would put the focus back on the offender and not the "gun". I have yet to find a trigger that pulls itself. |
Wut? That "no-labels" narrative is no longer convenient? |
Stop guessing. |
