I think the point being made is the form you filled out is more or less useless since you were still able to get assault weapons even though you technically shouldn't be able to own them. So the solution of classifying more weapons as assault weapons might not be very effective.
Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

I honestly don't think it's JUST the "lone gunman" crazy person with a WMD that we need to protect schools from. There will eventually be a group of fucked up kids/adults who decides to do similar. How many resource officers and locked doors would it take to neutralize say FIVE maniacs with body armor and ARs??
We've got to be open to that threat as well when deciding on what people should be allowed to own/purchase easily..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Since we're on the topic of drugs, it seems pretty clear that the war on drugs has failed. So now we just need to remind the right that regulations on guns would be a new and effective way for them to lock up "dangerous minorities" just like good ol' Ronnie Ray-gun did. Everyone wins!

Don’t put words in my mouth. I much prefer weed over alcohol. At issue is you on your soapbox of personal responsibility yet you claimed to have lied on federal forms about weed use and have also bragged about morning dabs before taking your kids to school and driving on a racetrack. Fuck, you’re dense.

Says unlawful user... Im not an unlawful user.
It's fairly pathetic the go to is my cannabis use, when everyone here knows cannabis is pretty much harmless. Is this really the argument you guys have? This is how you are best going to keep another mass shooting from happening?

Where I live that would be illegal, and it appears it is so in Tennessee too, but I’m not a firearms law expert.
fed legalization would be great, it’d stop people getting harassed on federal lands
guess Bobby hasn’t looked at the 2020 version of the form, typical Bobby bullshitter

Kind of a tagent since mass shootings occur everywhere in the US.
A maddeningly apolitical ex girlfriend of mine just rode across the country via the southern tier. In her podcast she said one of the things that astonished her were the sheer numbers of police and law enforcement the entire way. Not just along the border.
Protectors? Or enforcers?
One thing great about most of Iowa is we have underfunded the highway patrol for years. It seems much safer now from point a to point b since they are completely overwhelmed compare to say 30 years ago when they were thick like fog and would come for you like a crazed whitetail deer. The governor even sends them to Texas sometimes to get them a driving around vacation. Win win.

Why Republican senators won't budge on gun control
Short answer - their constituents will vote them out of office if they do (or that's their fear)
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/26/u...n-control.html
How does this happen when a huge majority in the country support things like HR8 (universal registration)?
Because a small portion of the population (rural states) elects more than half of the senate, most all of whom are GOP. Rural voters are the ones that mightily resist any gun control measures.
So until Democrats can bring policies/programs/candidates that appeal to rural voters, don't expect anything to happen on the gun control front.

And a lot of other things too but, sorry, we have an electoral college. Sorry, we can't have nice things unless there's something in it for the regressive minority mired in medieval, the earth is at the center of the universe thinking. That's how God wants it to be. The Constitution is a holy document proving God's covenant with real Americans. The 2nd amendment is a sacred text. You can't confiscate a man's religion! Just gonna be more guns, more Jeebus and more fake ass thoughts and prayers from The Church of Greed.

Lawful user. I can go to Colorado or any state that has legal rec and partake. That doesn't forfeit an individuals right to gun ownership. The ATF can enter my house whenever they please. Ive given them that authority. Im not worried about the quarter of pot I have at the house. I get that you don't like internet Bobby Stainless l, but you are focusing on me rather than the issue at hand.

This also means reports the shooter engaged with officers outside the school are false. They're now saying the shooter shot at two civilians before entering the school:
"Escalon said there was not an armed school resource officer at the school who exchanged gunfire with the gunman, contrary to initial reports from DPS officials.
Officers with the Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde school district police arrived about four minutes later and were unable to initially make entry because of an exchange of gunfire. He said the majority of the gunfire was at the beginning of the shooting.
....
Approximately an hour later, Escalon said U.S. Border Patrol tactical teams arrived, made entry and killed the gunman. Escalon did not answer questions about why Uvalde police officers did not kill the gunman during the hour he was inside the school."

^yes, because it’s not legal at the federal level.
