A Virginian arrested a few times already for impersonating LE, supposed to be banned from buying a gun, got his hands on assault rifles.

Yet, Rs think it's fine for someone like him to continue buying guns and assault rifles. WTF. You Rs are f*n nuts. Keep this crazy f*er with is assault rifles in VA. Thanks.

Well the second amendment. This is exactly what the founders had in mind when women weren’t mentioned and enslaved people were 3/5 of a person so this is all good. /s

Maybe that's what will work in getting effective gun control. And getting disturbed individuals hospitalized or in group homes instead of walking around doing harm to others.

I have so much admiration for Emmett Till’s mom.

How can they legally ban guns inside the convention if they believe that every person has the right to carry a concealed gun?

They won't let people in with guns, but they fight against businesses requiring patrons wearing masks? Good god.

Yep. And no conservatives on here are even commenting

Pretty much proves they want to limit rights for the rest of us while subjecting us to AR-15 violence, but not have any of this apply to them.

They have not banned guns inside the convention. Just when Trump speaks

Maybe I am stupid but can someone walk me through how it works to have guns allowed overall but not when Trump speaks? I am not a convention-goer so logistically I am not getting how it will work.

Well, read the forums on this site and ask yourself how many leftists sound filled with hate, rage, and unbalanced regarding Trump?

What? That doesn’t answer my question.

You’re at the convention. You’re carrying, because reeeee m’guns. Ope! Trump’s here! What happens next?

The problem is bad guys will get guns anyway. Do you think the cartels are going to hand theirs over? Nope. They will create a black market selling illegal guns.

Sure, member of cartels will always have guns. But chances are, every random 18-year-old with crazy ideas and petty criminal won't.

Compare gun violence statistics in US to those of any other developed country that restricts availability to guns and you'll see that gun control works.

Tells you everything you need to know.

Guns for them, but we can ban them for everyone else when it's convenient. A class of elementary school kids and their teachers getting killed is no big deal.

The worst part is Facebook and Instagram are blowing up saying if only those teachers had guns this wouldn't have happened.
When will people understand that more guns don't make the gun problem better?.
If guns helped keep people safe, wouldn't the NRA want everyone there carrying them?! And there were police officers at that school who engaged with the shooter and he still got in.

I went to search for a few stories I know of, one in OK, one in IN where an armed principal and armed resource officer stopped school shootings. They have been scrubbed from the media.

Me again: found one from Kansas

The fact that you think showing us more possible mass shootings and white men with gums means there needs to be less gun Control is not the own that you think it is. 😳

The ‘it’s not what you think it is’ leftist If these ‘white men with gums’ weren’t there, the situation would have been much much worse. All chased/killed the shooter and lives were spared as a result.

Would have been even better if the bad guys’ guns were restricted and the bad guys hadn’t been able to buy them.

The problem is bad guys will get guns anyway. Do you think the cartels are going to hand theirs over? Nope. They will create a black market selling illegal guns.

People will still find Opiods. Why regulate them?
People will still speed. Why have limits?
People will still steal, why make it illegal?
People will still abuse children. Why have CPS and laws?
People will still watch child porn. Why try to stop it?

Nothing is perfect. No solution wipes out 100% of a problem BUT doing nothing is resulting in no positive results. We have tried the good guys with guns, doesn't work. We lock schools, doesn't work. We are working for living wage, affordable health care and sustainable work schedules but Repbulicans say no. All of these would help with the mental helath crisis impacting all of America. NOT just men. I have mental health concerns and I am not shooting up a school. But i see the importance of mental health for everyone and thing we should do what we can to expand it (abbott has refused).
Then we have accessibility issues. Guns need to be locked period. There should be mandatory background checks for ALL gun sales (up to 90% of americans agree with this) and there is a bill sitting there waiting for the Senate Republicans to vote this into law.
There needs to be a ban on all assault rifles for Civilian use. If you want to shoot one, ranges can apply for permits/licenses (like liquor licenses) and you can go there and blow crap up all day long. have fun!
I am for guns and think it is an important part of our history, but enough is enough and something needs to be done.

Yup

John Gilliam, author of Sheep No More advises schools all the time on how to keep kids safe. He said most of the time, they do not implement those measures instead doing ‘feel-good’ measures such as gardens, etc. So they hire him and ignore his practical advice. Deterrents work.

When you have countries who have murdered people due to race and religion, those individuals are not keen on Government telling them ‘it’ll be fine this time’. History shows otherwise.

Anyone whose book has an intro written by Sean Hannity is not to be taken seriously.

He was a Navy Seal. I think he knows about self-defense.

Guns are the problem.

If you want to protect kids NOW, you secure where they gather.

Which will make the guns a LOT more expensive, and thus deter some 18 year old kid with a chip on his shoulder.

ARs aren’t cheap. Neither is ammo. Where did a high school dropout get that kind of coin?

Interesting quote: “ He always had a gun, that's why police took the gun off his hip," Kelly recalled. "But he never acted aggressive toward us,” a young lady said on her way home Monday night. "He would just check ID’s of the drivers coming into the property.”‘

That takes a lot more time. I would start by securing where they gather as that’s a lot faster. I don’t understand why people who lock their own doors at home think it’s not necessary and ‘too scary’ at a place they send their children.

And let’s be realistic. Governments all over the world have harmed their own citizens. It’s not far-fetched to be concerned about it happening again.

It is not the answer. There is no way to secure a building against a crazy gun nut. Look at what happened at the Afghanistan airport. 13 soldiers got killed trying to hold a secure position. Much easier to disarm gun owners.

Navy seals mission is not self defense. I agree he loses all credibility because of Hannity.

It's like saying all of these schools are filled with asbestos, but oh well. The asbestos doesn't kill. Only the people that breathe it in will get hurt. So just have your child wear a face covering and protect themselves and do drills on how not to breathe in asbestos.
