Like election results matter to the people in charge in TN. If they don’t like the results, they just toss ‘em out.

I’ve been noticing in the news that the Good Guys With Guns have been getting outgunned in places like Wisconsin and Louisville.

When there is more outrage over on-campus voting than assault weapons, they are showing their ass.
And maybe, just maybe, there is just a real shortage of actual good guys.

Guns are definitely not the problem.

If we had locked doors and had an armed guard at every building everywhere, everything would be fine. Simple really.

Real deep-thinker right there.

A comedian was the opening act for a concert I went to a few months ago, he was mostly pretty forgettable (like his name, which I forget). But he did say one thing that stuck with me, "We're not gonna do anything about gun violence in this country until some maniac shoots up a pet store." He may be right.

That's why republicans are so dead set against new abortion restrictions.. Everyone knows more abortion laws won't stop abortions.

I wonder if there is a point where anti gun people, if they get their way and pass more and more and more gun laws, will admit they aren't fixing the problem.

If they had any intellectual honesty, I think they'd just admit that point doesn't exist, and they'd like all guns banned, which will fail to make the world or america a safe place.

But its also just like one or two more 'common sense' restrictions that will drastically change human nature and our heavily individualistic alienating society that lacks community, or the ability to instill common values into its young and if you're not on board with their agenda you're evil crazy etc.

They're so emotionally against the idea that anything ever need to be protected or secured, and that the world isn't just a big happy safe place full of rainbows and unicorns. The previous few decades were the safest in all of history yet they feel entitled to the kind of safety that has literally never existed anywhere, including in those decades.

There has never been a time when children did not need some form of protection. The Donalds wall on the southern border was pretty stupid, but a decent fence with limited access points around schools isn't going to traumatize our children. i admit there are problems with having a bunch of cops in schools, they will begin to target the children for excessive law enforcement and involve them in the legal system unnecessarily but I fail to see what is so abhorrent about just basic security measures in our schools.

These shooters choose the softest least secured targets they can.

So lets be honest guys, at what point do you admit maybe just going after gun owners hasn't solved it? or do you admit you just want all guns illegal? At what point will you be satisfied and direct your attention elsewhere?

Sorry you can all get back to circle jerking and fart smelling now.

Help me out here. When you say “more and more and more gun laws” what significant and/or substantial gun laws are you referring to? Outside of a few progressive communities?

Lol. It’s hard to overstate how ironically perfect that phrase works for ammosexuals. Strong work.

The assault weapons ban expired in 2004 and everything has gotten worse since, but it is still the dems fault for creating it at all.

I'm asking at what point do you say we have passed enough laws? is there such a point or is it always just current status quo plus a few more laws?

Is there any such point? Can you answer the question, or just be sarcastic? I'm asking in good faith.

But things weren't worse before, suggesting it is not the key variable.

but ok, reinstate that ban, and then you're happy? You know it won't stop anything, so what is the point at which you stop focusing on gun laws and focus elsewhere?

Is there any such point?

I get you're capable of snark, but are you capable of answering the question?

My point is that there aren’t any significant laws yet. When mass shooters can legally acquire assault-style firearms then there aren’t enough laws to prevent that. I say that in good faith.

And reinstating the assault-style weapon ban is good place to start. Let’s give it a try - if it doesn’t work, we can take the next step.

At what point do you say that there are too many mass shootings? Too much gun violence? Answer in good faith please
