Social media has been on a drain on our society for years. All these mentally ill kids trying to become famous.


We can guns and we will took into the next London. They are having a huge epidemic of knifing deaths and attacks.

While we are at it, let’s ban cars too. They kill way more people and have been used by certain extremists to mow people down in mass events.

Taking the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government is not the answer. The answer is properly treating the mentally ill and doing away with social media.

And most of the guns used in crimes were purchased in the neighboring states with more relaxed gun laws. People tend to leave that part out when they use Chicago as an example of how gun laws don't work. How many are coming from Indiana???

That's fiction democrats have dreamed up to rationalize bad behavior. No, the shootings in inner-cities are mostly gang, drug and turf related. Many are repeat offenders. Regardless of what you think, guns don't shoot by themselves.

+1.

The biggest issue is democrats talk about guns but are so misinformed on every point that they aren’t taken seriously. Most democrats, as evidence on here, can’t even tell you the distinction between weapons. How can you take that person seriously when they are so misinformed and frankly stupid when it comes to any gun knowledge? You can’t.

I didn't think I needed to have a PhD in guns in order to convince you that mass shooting of school kids (and toddlers) should not be enabled.

Some posters are just babbling word salad because they can't explain why they object to common gun safety measures that 90% of the population thinks is a good idea. It's the NRA with the blood on their hands (and their staff, many of whom live in our DMV area).

We don't care what you think. You're the same people who think voting without an ID is a good idea also. Through your poor policies, YOU have created high crime areas. Your belief that you understand human nature and character is off 180 degrees from what is actually is.

We didn't have bullying and an armed population 30, 40, 50 years ago?

Don’t be obtuse. That’s not what I was saying.

I said democrats calling an AR-15 an assault weapon and calling for an assault weapon ban ( which is already in place) makes no one take you seriously when you talk gun control and policies. How can you ban the very thing you don’t even know anything about.

You don't need to know the distinction between guns to suggest common sense gun laws. It seems like the gun nuts love to use this to deflect from the actual issue. Fine. You win. You're smarter than all of us about the different kinds of guns. Now that we have that out of the way, please explain why we should have red flag laws, safe storage laws, etc.

+1 If you're so knowledgable about guns, why aren't you advocating for gun safety laws that many military and ex-military servicemen think we need to make our country safer.

We don’t need storage laws. I’m all for stronger background checks and red flag laws. I’m not for seizing guns.

Though I'm a gun-owning Texan, the NRA is not welcome here

As the group returns for its annual convention, it does nothing but showcase a billion-dollar marketing campaign peddling paranoia and fantasies.
Steven KlingAustin American-Statesman

This week, the National Rifle Association will, once again, host its convention in Texas and, once again, attempt to overstate its influence. After years of being crippled by corruption—drowning in multiple lawsuits, losing millions of members, and forcing out its scandal-ridden CEO Wayne LaPierre—the NRA comes limping back to the Lone Star State to lick its wounds.

As a veteran, fifth generation Texan, and GIFFORDS Gun Owner for Safety, I'm telling the NRA that they're not welcome here.

In Texas, we don't hide from the truth. And the truth is that the NRA has long-ago hijacked gun culture, and its convention does nothing but showcase the gun industry’s billion-dollar marketing campaigns that peddle paranoia and irresponsible fantasies.

I know responsible gun ownership. Like many Texans, I grew up around firearms. When I served as a commander of an Army Reserve small arms training company, the safe handling and storage of firearms was my job.

Putting the safety of our fellow service members and our communities above our own lives was a core value in the military. The NRA spits on that value by pushing a purely selfish message of the individual above all else: “rights'' with no regard to responsibilities. It’s offensive to those of us who actually have protected Americans and defended our freedoms.

Today, America faces an enemy within: the for-profit gun lobby and the politicians in its pocket. Since the beginning of this century alone, we have lost more American lives to gun violence than all of our nation's wars combined.

The NRA claims to be “the longest-standing civil rights organization,” with lofty talk of defending the 2nd Amendment and “freedom.” But the NRA sold the freedoms and safety of our communities in exchange for corporate profits a long time ago. Americans cannot pursue happiness while looking over their shoulders and planning escape routes.

This is no way to live, and we don't have to. Yet Governor Greg Abbott has only passed legislation that has made gun violence worse.

Abbott signed permitless carry into law, which allows any untrained person to carry a loaded gun in public with no background check. Under his governorship, gun deaths have surged by more than 60%. In 2022, 4,630 Texans died due to gun violence according to the CDC.

It's not for a lack of demand that the GOP supermajority in the Texas legislature won't pass gun safety laws. A vast majority of Texans—and Texas gun owners—want commonsense gun safety laws. Almost 80% of Texans support mandatory background checks on all gun sales, including 70% of Republicans. Over 70% of Texas voters support requiring gun purchasers to be 21 years old, and 72% support red flag laws that help concerned family members temporarily keep guns away from those who may harm themselves or others.

I know Texans want to protect our children in schools. The outrage after the tragic school shooting in Uvalde shook the conscience of Congress to take action.

I’ve also met some who think this is a futile fight, that a safer future is too far out of reach. To them, I say: Do not back down now.

I'm a senior ambassador for Giffords Gun Owners for Safety, a coalition of the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. After she survived an assassination attempt where she was shot in the head, she started to organize survivors —Republicans, Democrats, Independents, gun owners, advocates—because she knows we all want our children and communities to be safe. She didn’t back down. We can’t either.

As the NRA hosts its convention in Dallas, we're launching Giffords Texas to go toe-to-toe with the gun lobby. When the merchants of despair and death come to Texas, we must show that they will find no home here.

Kling is a decorated combat veteran and fifth-generation Texan. As senior ambassador for GIFFORDS Gun Owners for Safety, he advocates against the for-profit gun lobby and for popular, commonsense gun safety laws.

Gun laws won’t do a damn thing. Criminals will always find a way to commit crimes. We will become the next London with knife crimes.

Restricting access to a rifle doesn’t make sense when most shootings are done with a handgun.

What does requiring people to store guns safely have to do with seizing guns? Are you seeing a therapist for your paranoia?

None of what you wrote would've prevented this school shooting. We need to get rid of AR 15s. They seem to be the gun of choice for mass school shootings.

Banning rifles won’t do anything when most gun violence and shootings are done by a pistol.

Criminals will always find a way to get guns, regardless if it’s legal. Look at all the felons committing mass shootings ( a mass shooting is 3 or more people shot) with illegal guns.

What we need to do is look into social media ties and mental illness. Why is it that gun ownership was prevalent before 2010 and we didn’t hear of any mass shootings as a normal occurrence. Social media has been on a drain on our society for years. All these mentally ill kids trying to become famous.


We can guns and we will took into the next London. They are having a huge epidemic of knifing deaths and attacks.

While we are at it, let’s ban cars too. They kill way more people and have been used by certain extremists to mow people down in mass events.

Taking the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government is not the answer. The answer is properly treating the mentally ill and doing away with social media.

And most of the guns used in crimes were purchased in the neighboring states with more relaxed gun laws. People tend to leave that part out when they use Chicago as an example of how gun laws don't work. How many are coming from Indiana???

That's fiction democrats have dreamed up to rationalize bad behavior. No, the shootings in inner-cities are mostly gang, drug and turf related. Many are repeat offenders. Regardless of what you think, guns don't shoot by themselves.

+1.

The biggest issue is democrats talk about guns but are so misinformed on every point that they aren’t taken seriously. Most democrats, as evidence on here, can’t even tell you the distinction between weapons. How can you take that person seriously when they are so misinformed and frankly stupid when it comes to any gun knowledge? You can’t.

I didn't think I needed to have a PhD in guns in order to convince you that mass shooting of school kids (and toddlers) should not be enabled.

Some posters are just babbling word salad because they can't explain why they object to common gun safety measures that 90% of the population thinks is a good idea. It's the NRA with the blood on their hands (and their staff, many of whom live in our DMV area).

We don't care what you think. You're the same people who think voting without an ID is a good idea also. Through your poor policies, YOU have created high crime areas. Your belief that you understand human nature and character is off 180 degrees from what is actually is.

+1. Ding, ding, ding

Democrats want to talk gun control but are putting everyday citizens at risk with their voting choices and poor policies. Then they wonder why citizens feel they need to have weapons to protect themselves. Democrats have created this mess.
