If under the age of 18 and in possession of a gun, child sent to juvenile prison for 2 years and parents fined $100K and serve 500 hours of community service cleaning up trauma wards.

If an adult and in possession of firearm illegally, 5 years in prison first offense, 20 years second offense and on.

Background check and state and national registry of weapon and owner for legal firearms.

Violent crime using a firearm. Theft 30 years. Assault 40 years. Manslaughter/Murder - life.

Trafficking major narcotics (opioids, meth, synthetics) sliding scale based on amount in possession with intent to distribute. From 5 years (small amounts - ounces) to 30 years (pounds). Head of a cartel, death penalty, including extradition if cartel found to be major source of inbound drugs. Cut off trade and tourism to countries that are known havens. Start with Mexico, northern South American countries and Caribbean countries. All out war on drugs and major registration effort on guns.

Anonymous wrote:^ not to mention the fact that with all those black male criminals locked up, the stereotype of black men engaged with crime will be gone. The black men left will be able to live like other races since they won’t be so disproportionately involved in crime anymore. Who wouldn’t want to vote for that??

I don’t care if we have to put 20 million people in prison for life if that’s what it takes, because that’s the only thing that will stop it.

Why don’t we start with putting the 20 million violent criminals we have loose on our streets into prison for the rest of their lives where they belong. Then guns will lose their appeal because the nonviolent people won’t feel like we need them.

Look, I’m not your enemy here.

I wanted a gun because I live alone. Also, I think it’s important that more Black people educate themselves about guns and become gun owners. I don’t think guns are for everyone. But, it’s important to look at what’s happening around you. If we don’t educate ourselves, we become like sitting ducks.

Again, I’m 100% for gun reform. While I continue to vote for people who will make this happen, I’m making sure I can protect myself if need be.

As it is right now, it’ll take decades for us to see any change after we enact common-sense gun reform.

People who want gun reform are not anti-gun.

thanks for the contributing to the problem of gun violence in this country. Gullible people watch fox news and think crime is out of control, they rush out and buy a bunch of weapons of war. Some eventually have mental issues or have stress or their kids get bullied and suddenly they either turn the gun on themselves or go out and hurt a lot of people. It's just tragic at this point.

Your hysteria and hyperbole helps absolutely nothing. I am not contributing to the problem of gun violence in this country.

How is it hyperbolic to claim that gullible people buy guns and become a menace to society? Did you think the sandy hook mom bought guns knowing her autistic kid would go on a shooting spree. Nobody think they are a gun nutter, you all think you are “responsible” gun owners and it has done nothing to stop tragedies in this country.

I agree that it’s tragic. And the SH mom shouldn’t have been able to have the arsenal of guns she had…especially since her son was previously reported for his behavior.

As a single Black woman, however, I will not sit unarmed waiting for this country to enact common-sense gun laws. I’ve felt threatened for many years now. Unlike many others, I’m making sure I’m properly trained and educated on the use of my gun.

I also vote every damn election for people who want the same gun reform I do.

Disparage me, call me names… I don’t care. You might want to spend more time talking to the voting block who votes for this free-for-all gun state we live in. (Hint: It’s not Black women.)

You realize that the statistics show that your gun is far more likely to be used to kill / injure someone in your home than as part of any “self defense” scenario, right?

You’d really need to see statistics where the gun is properly secured and the owner has training for that to be a fair statement.

Oh wait, we have those statistics. It’s Switzerland. And hint: they don’t have a problem with their firearms.

Are you saying the NRA/Gun Lobby would be cool with those being legal requirements? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Switzerland has border control. So there’s that

Hopefully, we can overcome voter suppression and make this happen. (Voter protection laws should be the top priority for the Biden Administration!)

All that said, I am a Black woman who purchased her first gun (a Glock 9mm) last month.

It’s important to have more Black gun owners….especially Black women. I’ll de dammed if I let republican Qooks be the only gun owners in this country.

I am curious why you thought you need a gun in the first place. Are you not somewhere where police is nearby? You know you are far more likely to use that gun on yourself than an criminal right?

I’m curious why you feel the need to interrogate her about her choices to protect herself. Why do you give yourself such authority over a woman?

Good question. Would you ask a man the same thing?
