    In this article they suggest a full 2 years of our subpar life expectancy is due to guns. 2 years!! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-...ife-expectancy
    Agree on insurance.
    Also advocate a requirement to demonstrate competence with the weapon before purchase.

    Buybacks just get useless guns out of circulation.

    You will never get a ban on semi-autos passed in this day and age. Look at our state - we passed restrictions but now it’s tied up in challenges. And even if you could, I really doubt existing owners will turn theirs in for any amount.

    Better to subject them to the regulations of National Firearms Act of 1934. IOW, you could still buy an AR or a 9mm handgun, but you gotta go thru a major background check that takes a shitload of time, and pay a hefty license fee.

    And every firearm, aside from perhaps a few, will REQUIRE registration.

    Registration and insurance requirements would go a long ways, methinks.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_s..._United_States

    "Until 1969 virtually every public high school—even in New York City—had a shooting club. High school students in New York City carried their guns to school on the subways in the morning, turned them over to their homeroom teacher or the gym coach during the day, and retrieved them after school for target practice. Club members were given their rifles and ammunition by the federal government. Students regularly competed in citywide shooting contests for university scholarships."






    true fact.

    Agree. You're going to get the usual arguments that insurance requirement infringes on your 2A and then butt up against actuary data that undermines a bunch of gun-nut narratives. But JFC it is about the least we could do.

    And how many school shootings happened in your county?

    Something changed between now and then

    Something changed between now and then
    Gun people stopped being reasonable as modern media society decided that compromise was weakness and “a slippery slope”

    NRA relentlessly lobbying all levels of government without opposition until Reagan got shot

    SCOTUS redefining the 2A via Heller without public consent

    Prioritizing political fundraising, tribalism & poll popularity over intelligence, research, data, ethics and progress.

    Mainstreaming ammosexual lifestyles

    Propagandizing regular people into thinking they were unsafe in public places for votes, but then not realizing that the damage was done once the vote was over…sorry police, everyone is strapped now; sorry kids, lockdowns are the only option

    Etc

    Despite all that and more, we are safer together and unarmed than we are alone and head-on-a-swivel in a world of chaos

    There is video out. Looks like a Keltec in hand, and an AR slung.

    Just pointing that out because I’ve never seen a bill, from any politician, that ban those, or ban handguns. We get all riled up to ban Ar’s, (and we definitely need to do something about them) but it’s going to take alot more than that to stop things like this.

    We have to start someplace. Better than no place as you 2A kooks suggest.

    To remind you self righteous types that even the changes your leadership recommend would leave an insane gun policy behind by any other country’s standard. get over yourselves. Playing whack a mole with gun laws, writing useless laws that change nothing, may a few like you feel better, but it’s not saving lives. We need an Australian type turn in, and no one running for president will ever run on that. I’n fact, this current told me I needed a shotgun.

    We’re never changing anything with these games.

    Interseting article on how gun laws are used to incarcerate Black men at a higher rate than any other race. https://www.themarshallproject.org/2...-PoTQ5g05toInU Sounds a whole lot like the drug laws here. Which also don't work.

    The motive for choosing Covenant was a lack of armed security. Should be pretty simple to figure out the solution to school shootings.

    Both the Kel Tec and AR were pistols by law. That has since changed and Im sure she was planning on registering the receivers with the ATF, since psychopaths obey gun laws.

    Fortunately, she spent a lot of time wandering around.

    The keltec is originally a carbine that has a unique folding design.

    Not a pistol.

    Looked short. Maybe it was 16". I doubt she had a registered SBR.

    I have two cousins that were there yesterday. The girl was quickly accounted for and parents were notified but they didn’t hear word on the boy for a few hours. Both were physically unharmed. Absolute nightmare fuel.

    And for those curious, this article has photos of the exact weapons used: https://nypost.com/2023/03/27/nashvi...d-with-3-guns/

    Right, like the Parkland guy that ran away? Or the cops that sat on their hands for 45 minutes while kids got shot?
    You're acting just like the fuckstick in the Jon Stewart video - at what point do more guns make us safer? We have the most of any country in the world and the worst violence stats compared to peers. At what point does it get better?

    I take it you didnt read the article I linked?

    Fortunately, Metro PD is a compentent police force and killed her in 14 minutes. She chose the place because there was no armed security. It's written in her manifesto.

    14 minutes from the time the call came in to her being shot is fast. You can deflect from that all you want.

    Ok. Lets pencil up some more gun laws and see if we can lock up some more Black men.
