Exactly. There are laws and regulations for a reason. If everyone did what the felt like or did what they are entitled to just because there would be total chaos. I think I should be allowed to drive 150 mph on the opposite side of the road jn an indy car just because I have not broken any laws.

well, do it. remember that driving is privilege and not a right.
 
That's why it's a joke when Democrats say stupid stuff like "Australian Gun Laws on the Table" and our media makes it a headline.

No. That law is NOT on the table. Not now or as long as we have the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. Australia does not have a 2nd amendment. Australia does not have the legal precedence of interpretation of a 2nd amendment. Australia does not have the Federalist papers would helped define WHAT the 2nd Amendment means and why it is part of our Constitutaion.

Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, England, France.... none of that matters. They don't have our Constitution.

If we are going to have an intelligent debate about gun control than that conversation has to START AND INCLUDE the 2nd Amendement of the Constitution. If it doesn't, I really can't take you seriously.

Now I have said before on another thread about another mass shooting. I would be in favor of a limit on magazine size for guns. I think that law, if reasonable, would hold up to judicial scrutiny vs. the 2nd Amendment. We can debate that, but I think it's a reasonable position.

Same with discussing minimum ages for some types of guns. Or training requirements. Or better background check procedures. Or better red flags for kids in high school that show violent tendencies and delaying their ability to buy guns until 25 or something.

I think there is some wiggle room to TRY legislation. No law is permenent. There was a time some AR style weapons were illegal. The country survived. All the things you'd WANT to do as gun owner you still could. The pendulum can swing on gun control and not completely undermine the 2nd amendment.
 
The issues boils down to 2 things:

1. Do you want to do something that would actually work
2. Do you want to do something that just harms legal gun owners and makes political points.

That's where the discussion breaks down. Fact is that magazine sizes wouldn't have stopped or even slowed down any mass shootings. So why talk about it? You can have 10, 10 round mags. You can buy 30 round mags. all day long on the black market. With today's technology you can make them on a 3 D printer. So discussing it is politics not real solutions.

Training requirements is also a non-issue. So if these nuts were trained better that would make them less dangerous? Again this issue has no legs because it wouldn't have stopped a single mass shooting. It's a political issue. If we were talking accidental shootings then training makes sense. But it doesn't for this situation.

Banning AR "style" wouldn't stop anything. There are other weapons that have as much fire power and some more that aren't AR "style" weapons. They hold as many rounds as well. So again this is something that does absolutely nothing but make people feel better. Also there are over 300 million guns. My guess is there is more than that.

The real issue is the nut jobs and drugs they are on. Another issue is gun free zones. You deal with those and mass shootings will drop. Other than that you're playing feel good politics and aren't serious about curbing mass shootings.

The Constitution is racist. Only the police should have guns to protect themselves from white people and people of color should have guns to protect themselves from the police. /Libs
 
A Republican should write a Gun Tax. Liberals would then want guns in cereal boxes. Anything is fine if you can tax it. Gambling, drugs, cigarettes, liquor

Common Sense Knife Laws must be passed immediately to prevent this from happening again.

Like in the UK where it's illegal to carry a knife or a bat if not en route to baseball game, practice, etc. Where does it end? Nowhere good thats for sure.
 
Obviously there is something else in play with respect to these mass shootings than access to guns. A scientific analysis of all possibly related variables would quickly reveal a correlation. I have a hard time believing that that analysis has not already been done.

In the past people could buy FULLY automatic machine guns. Mass shootings not a problem. It's not the guns!

Universal Cancels ‘The Hunt’ Release

Universal Pictures announced that it will not release The Hunt, a satirical movie about hunting other humans for fun.
Click to expand...

Think about it, they actually had to take some time to mull this one over.

Universal Spokesperson: "After careful consideration, we ultimately thought the depiction of humans hunting other humans for sport over their political beliefs may not be the best idea right now."
 
Everyone knows( including the dim rats) that guns aren't the problem people are. I still remember when I was in high school back in the 80s several trucks in the parking lot with either a rifle or shotgun hanging from the back window, yet there was never one school shooting the entire time I was in high school. These little ******* today don't know how to deal with problems or failure because they don't get the discipline they sorely need at home.

*******. You made it, release it.

Supposed to be satire. Maybe it is funny.

It will probably get released somehow. But about it being satire/funny and right-wingers turning the tables on "elite leftists", it's ultimately just going to show that right-wingers are more disgustingly efficient killers, and will just give socialists even more reason to try and strip away gun rights.
 
With all this free publicity for the movie, it would make twice as much as it had normally. Universal is LOVING this. Don't think for a second they "regret" making this movie. They are just trying to figure out how to make the most money (which they have every right to do).

I personally, have no problem with this movie. I might Redbox is when it's out.

You can't buy a kitchen knife on line in the UK because of all the people being butchered on city streets by muzloids. The dearth of knives has muzloids attacking with acid.

Now, if Brits had modern weapons like free people do, they'd just shoot the primitives. My guess is that knife and acid attacks would cease.

The muzloids have brought their knife campaign to our shores. "We've GOT TO get the knives off the streets!". Watch for it.

Yep same here. It's mind blowing how quickly society has regressed. It doesn't seem to take much. If you think about it we're just a power grid or massive catastrophe away from complete chaos.
