Mass shooting of the week, high school in parkland, FL.

He said categorically it would not have. He doesn't know that.

Then he,says we should do something and sits down. Pathetic. People,are tired of this lame response.

It would be one thing if there were a full slew of hearings and Congresspeople could explain their no votes. Alas, the NRA blocks those.

You’re crying about it. Obviously you think it would have.

Every time someone posts about the NRA here I’m making a donation

I’ve counted 14 times today that Obx, Mick, and pals have mentioned the NRA. I figured $10 per mention is fair, so I just made my $140 donation.

The NRA thanks you

Marco Rubio, Florida Senator, says that gun restrictikns would not have prevented this.

Error








Oh, and the NRA gave him
$3.7 million last year.

If someone can execute a plan like this guy did, with the fire alarm, the time of day, choosing an unguarded section of the campus, the Uber ride, the escape, etc., he can plan a way to get around any gun laws the Congress is likely to pass.

Is the NRA is the only organization that gets routinely blamed for things it's members don't do?

Tell that to Australia with.... no mass murders since they banned assault rifles.

AR-15s are not assault rifles. You’ve already lost.

Actually no. If you compare the number of AR's sold to the number of incidences of them being used to actually kill innocent people you would find out just how stupid your statement is. The AR platform is used now for a lot of hunting and for general target shooting and recreation. If these guns were made to kill people then I would hazard a guess and say there wouldn't be many liberal left if every AR killed 20 liberals.

That is freaking hilarious.

I vote for you to be a committee of one to go out and confiscate all the "assault rifles" in the U.S. Nice knowing you.

You see nothing wrong with the fact literally anybody can go get any type of gun they want?

First, that is untrue. Literally anybody cannot go get any tyoe of gun they want. There are a tremendous number of restrictions.

Earlier today I alluded to these events being part of a cultural problem.

I'm concerned that as a culture we no longer value life, we protect our children from consequences of bad behavior, we are forgetting our values, children a growing up with uncertainty in their family structure and not feeling loved by one or both parents, and we are over medicated.

That's the mcdad over simplified version of what I think is going on

 

[GroverCleveland]

Where are you going to find enough conservative teachers willingly to sign up to shoot a student or former student? The liberals damn sure won't and I doubt many cons will either.

We do not know until the question is asked or the opportunity made available.

The NRA/Rs could not have blocked ANYTHING when Obama took office.....

I often wonder who liberals would blame if these type of guns were banned, and some bad guy still did this because bad people will still have them.

Why...why does a civilian need this rifle? They don't.

If your only argument is to fall back on the "NRA! NRA! NRA!" answer all the time, you don't have an argument. Because you don't have a clue as to what the laws already on the books consist of.



Now see, this is why many just can't take you seriously. If you know nothing about the history of gun control legislation or what was in it, how can you even be in this debate?

Come on GV, spare me the condescension. I don't need to know the history of gun legislation to know that having twice the per capita gun ownership of any other country is a problem. To know that the amount of gun violence in our country is unconscionable. To know that the fact an 18 year old with known mental and behavioral issues can buy an "assault" weapon but not a beer is a problem.

I have lived long enough to know that a head full of facts in no way leads to rational thinking and understanding. If factual knowledge led to correct conclusions, there would be no disagreement between the factual knowledgeable.

And white people.

That's what my Cherokee great grandmother would have thought. If only they could have had a wall on the eastern seaboard 500 years ago...

What a POS

 

[luthervol]

Not really. The gun is just a tool with various uses, it takes a human with the intent to kill for it to be used that way.

A lot of people are killed each year when that wasn't the intent. Intent is not required.
