[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who knew the man murdered and his family I also would really like it if we could focus on the actual issues at hand. [b]I think the bigger issue is that we need to reduce the number of guns in our country.[/b] I also know of a young woman in her early 20s who killed herself this week. The common denominator in both deaths was that both people died by gun. Fewer guns would really help.[/quote] It’s too late. Ghost guns were a game changer. People are making them on 3D printers now. [/quote] I’ll bet you a quarter so called “ghost guns” had precisely nothing to do with this. [/quote] Were you there? That’s a weird bet to make. They make up about a third of the illegal guns the police are recovering these days .[/quote] As far as I’m concerned there’s absolutely no difference between a “illegal” gun and a legal gun. They ALL need to be illegal. Period. Ban them all. Give gun nutters a deadline to turn them in, and after that deadline, offer huge bounties or cash rewards for reporting people still in possession of gun(s). Locate people who had previously bought or registered guns and do random, unannounced searches of their homes or other property to ensure they aren’t hiding guns. Anyone caught with a gun after the law goes into effect goes to prison for life without parole. And use the army in conjunction with police to go after the holdouts who refuse to turn theirs in. That’s how you stop this epidemic of violence. [/quote] The "lets round up all the guns" position is both not serious, and also impossible. [/quote] It is completely serious, and it is not impossible. The only thing required is the courage to implement it. I was in Cuba recently. We walked around the streets of Santiago without the slightest concern in the world that we would be robbed at gun point or fall victim to a mass shooter’s killing spree or be hit by a stray bullet from a criminal. Absolutely ZERO fear. None. Nada. Compare that with America, where you take your life in your hands just buying groceries. What’s the difference? No one in Cuba has a gun. Period. See how that works, trumpie? :roll: [/quote] I'm not a "Trumpie". But I guess thats your rhetorical bit huh? Anyone that disagrees with your extremist and unrealistic option is branded a Trump person. Got it. Freat discourse, thanks for coming in. [/quote] You’re all-in for letting people have guns. Or perhaps more accurately I should say that you clearly oppose taking guns out of the hands of the public. Guess what? That puts you in-league with the fascists who committed an insurrection, and cling to their guns. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck….. that’s you. You might not think you’re a trumper, but you want what trumpers what. See how that works? [/quote]
