All statistical analysis to the contrary.
This is called anecdotal evidence, when you embrace one example of an outcome as the norm.
We know this is not the norm.
Yeah? Why is that? If more law abiding citizens were allowed to carry, after training ofcourse, maybe this type of thing would be more the norm, and lives could be saved.
And it's very disrespectful to be posing these types of gun hype threads while parents are burying their children. Try having some compassion and stop thinking about yourself in your own isolated situation.
Don't you lecture me pal. I was one of the few in this forum to say the exact same thing when liberal/progressives, and so called "Independents" coming online, and politihacks like the trash MSNBC puts on air not 5 minutes after this broke.
Some gun owners seem more concerned with the prospect of more paperwork than feeling anything for victims of gun violence; just my observation.
That is so ignorantly wrong on your part. I don't believe that there is a single legal gun owner that didn't have their heart break when this happened. Your framing this from a partisan radical anti gun POV, and it is clear that your lean is disingenuous.
1) The gun show exception needs to go away.
There is no such thing. People can sell to each other their own personal weapons, and long rifles, but dealers at gun shows must still adhere to the requirements of their licensing...If you are trying to portray that anything other than that happens, it is a lie.
2) All internet sales of guns need to be banned. Deadly weapons should only be sold face-to-face by a federally lic. dealer.
I am not opposed to that. Unless there is a way to do the appropriate background check and still buy from the net.
3) The military MUST start reporting its mental health cases, domestic abusers, and dishonorable discharges to NICS.
Why are you singling out military? Was this 20 year old kid military? I don't think so.
4) AND, we must start prosecuting ALL people who lie on gun applications. 71,000 liars in the last few years and only 71 prosecutions. What the hell are we doing???
Well, there is a lot of grey area in that...If the misinformation is on purpose, and intentional, then hell yes, prosecute them. However, there are a lot of questions as to what is reportable, and what information is even shared between states.
Mr. President, get out your pen and do something!! Write a directive to ATF to start major undercover operations on gun dealers who do not follow the rules.
The President is not a King, or a dictator, though your admonition here suggests that is what you would prefer. And although it seems as though we are in this country moving toward an administrative dictatorship, for the moment we are not...If you want a law, contact your rep.
Today, 6-yo Jessica is being laid to rest. May God watch over her.
Agreed, God rest her soul.
