"They started it" is not a productive rejoinder.

When two teens full of hormones and young love get together, they're going to have guns. That's inevitable.

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of these shows is the way they orbit around American gun culture itself. The latest season of Shooter opens with a mass shooting at a Silver Star Award ceremony packed with Marines; Swagger, naturally, responds the way so many gun enthusiasts want to imagine they would in these crises and yet so rarely can: by picking up a weapon and taking the bad guys out. There’s a horrible and uniquely American irony in this bit of wish fulfillment theater, especially given that Shooter’s premiere was delayed in 2016 not once, but twice: first by a mass shooting in Dallas on July 7 by an Army veteran who killed five police officers, and again on July 17 by a shooting of Baton Rouge police that killed three.

To be fair, this is not a series that has made any secret of its politics; it is a show literally called Shooter with a hero literally called Swagger, and has always embraced gun culture as the solution to gun violence.
Well when it you put it that way it does sound a bit absurd

9th circuit rules that Constitution does not give the right to sell guns

Quote:
A federal appeals court in San Francisco today upheld an Alameda
County law restricting the location of gun stores, saying that the constitutional right to bear arms does not include a separate right to sell guns.

A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by a 9-2 vote upheld a lower court judge's dismissal of a lawsuit in which three would-be gun shop operators challenged the ordinance.
Quote:
The 1998 ordinance prohibits locating gun stores within 500 feet of residential areas, schools, liquor stores and other gun shops in unincorporated areas of the county.

Oh hey how ya doin? Lil Wayne La Pierre must’ve gotten his check from the bump stock guys.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) on Thursday said it opposes legislation in both the House and the Senate that would ban the use of bump stocks, a device that can be used to increase a semi-automatic rifle’s rate of fire and was found in the hotel room of the Las Vegas shooter.

WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED

This tactic has become increasingly popular on the right. Shamelessly lie and claim you will take the more reasonable position while people are paying attention. Then go full deplorable later when interest dies down.

Most morons never find out you were full of **** all along.

Shouldn't the left basically take the right's abortion tactics and apply it to guns?

Of course you should be able to buy just about any gun you want!
But anyone who sells a gun has to be within a mile of a hospital in case there's an accident!
That gun store should also have a police station within a mile to protect the store!
You know, sometimes, ever so rarely, an accident happens with a gun. Don't worry, only like twice in the history of the US! but just so you are fully informed, before you purchase a gun, you have to have a 4 hour talk with a mother who's 8 year old accidentally shot himself.

again, these requirements in no way restrict gun ownership! if abortion legislation has taught us anything, steps like these are actually better for the gun owner!

If we could pass that **** we could pass actual regulations...

Trump is the master of this. It's how children lie when they don't want to do chores. They say they'll do it "later" with no intention to do it. Trump said in August, and about 10 times since he would declare the opioid crisis an emergency. He did the same thing for his taxes etcetc.

Some lunatic shot up an office park in MD today. Would be 50% of annual gun deaths in Japan, Australia or England. In this country, its "Wednesday."

Didn't look at the comments, but 4 were killed, maybe 5 or 6. 6 seems very very unlikely. Probably not 5 either, but maybe.

Some high school kid posted a picture of himslef in my sleepy little hometown holding an assault rifle saying some messed up stuff. Nothing happened but still, sigh...

Kind of good but messed up news is it was apparently little to close to home for one of the gun enthusiast i work with who has kids in a school that got locked down. Guy does not blink an eye at other shootings and even gave the guns dont kill people line at Vegas shooting. Which funnily a trump supporter gave him when the gun guy was saying how messed up this all was. I dont know how he beat me to it...Don't think it is going to change a heart and mind much. But it really does hit home some people need to be directly effected to get any type of wakening.

Study finds that after gun shows in less-regulated Nevada, nearby areas of California have increased gun violence

Quote:
Researchers found that rates of firearm injuries were steady after California gun shows but increased significantly, from 0.67 to 1.14 per 100,000 people, in California regions near the Nevada shows.
Seems relevant to the very tired conservative argument of "but CHICAGO HAS GUN CONTROL" when Indiana is right next door

More than 14 hours after the tragedy in New York City and ....nothing but crickets here in this thread?

Why aren't you clamoring for tougher laws on the use of rental trucks?
Why aren't you making fun of everyone offering "thoughts and prayers" for the victims?
Or are you and the pols bought and paid for by the trucking industry?

LOL at Dems and liberals saying we shouldn't use this tragedy for political advantage.
11-01-2017 , 09:03 AM
Trucks aren't designed with the sole purpose of killing someone. When trucks murder 10,000 people a year and another 30,000 use them to commit suicide we can talk about tougher laws and making it harder to access them.

What's sad is it's easier to get a gun than a CDL in the US. Maybe we start requiring the same level of training and education about guns as we do trucks? Guns are so easy to get in the US that ISIS is encouraging their followers to get them so I'd expect an uptick of terrorism events with guns.

We should definitely think about bringing in mandatory licences and tests for operating motor vehicles.. oh wait!

There should also definitely be police oversight whenever and wherever vehicles are used perhaps (for example) some kind of device police can use to measure car speeds so they can make sure people are following the strict rules of vehicle use.

This is the gun control thread. Did I miss where a gun was used in this instance? There are plenty of threads discussing this and I'm sure all of us who participate in this thread have commented about it in other threads. If you'd like to make a thread about banning trucks, go right ahead and make it so everyone can laugh at you.

In other words, gfy
11-01-2017 , 09:55 AM
I think you should need a special license to operate the large, high capacity trucks.
11-01-2017 , 09:59 AM
I think you should probably leave some identification when you rent a vehicle and that identification is easily searched for when needed.
11-01-2017 , 10:14 AM
I agree, lets regulate guns like trucks, as a baseline.

Can't buy one without liability insurance and you need a license to roll around with one, to start.
