They can have my AR-15 and my M4. I love shooting them, but I'll live with my 30.06 and my handguns if it saves a single life. Those guns are so destructive it took 2 days to ID some of those kids. But there aren't going to be any changes in national law. I'd bet the ranch on that.

They'll have your 30.06 and your pistols too making it much harder to save your own life

Why wait for a law to tell you to do the right thing? Just destroy your guns now. If it saves one life…

The only way giving up your guns saves a life is if you planned to take one. We can give up all the guns we’re “in our feels” about and it’ll change nothing. Criminals will still have those guns and high capacity magazines. Depressed kids will still hurt themselves with whatever they can get their hands on. And accidents will still happen and all you’ve accomplished is minimizing your power to respond to self defense, home invasions and especially tyrannical government.

We gotta stop compromising. Every time we compromise, it’s only us as civilians that lose. Think about this. We gave up the right to fully automatic weapons back in the 80s. Now they want semi automatic rifles and high capacity magazines. Next it’ll be all semi automatic guns. Then revolvers. Then anything of any caliber greater than a .22.

If you connect the dots you can see their path. By taking the right to fully automatic weapons in the event of the people vs tyrannical government they reduced their estimated casualties from 1/1 to 3/1. If they get the AR15 it’ll be around 4/1. If they get high capacity magazines it’s like 6/1. Once they get those and get all semi automatic weapons it goes to 8/1. Once we’re down to nothing but .22 it’s 10/1 and surrender. Freedom is no more

I understand your sentiment, and agree, but do you plan on using your AR-15 or M4 to go on a killing spree? It's not the guns. I feel like I just keep repeating myself on this, but a gun is not evil. Give up whatever you want, but as long as we keep ignoring the people who actually commit these crimes, they will continue. This MSM narrative that things can be solved by banning guns is brainwashing people into believing something that isn't true. Crazy people will still kill people, even if it means just finding another way. Meanwhile, responsible gunowners pay the price for having done everything right.

Get an AR-10. It's 5 AR's safer

I’ll ask the same question that I always ask every time one of these horrific shootings take place. After we ban the scary looking guns and these shootings continue, then what’s the plan going to be?

You already know the answer. They will take away another category of gun until there are none left. Then they will start on knives. Just look at the UK and Australia for the blueprint. It is never about crime. It is 💯 about control

Luckily those places didn’t have a 400+ million head start.

As usual, some of the “Republican” senators are already getting weak kneed and talking about coming to some compromise with the gun grabbers for “reasonable” restrictions. The old Turtle McConnell is pushing them in that direction. If you have a Republican Senator, you need to be on the phone with their office this week letting them know that you are watching closely and that you oppose ANY and EVERY attempt to infringe on the second amendment. We aren’t called the stupid party for nothing. The desire to be praised by the media for being willing to be “bipartisan” and to “do SOMETHING” (regardless of if it works or not) is too much for the RINO’s lack of backbone to resist. We are only a few months from retaking the majority in Congress. Now is not the time to fumble the football on purpose

Don't get your panties in a wad. Its the usual GOP bait-and-switch maneuver. Pretend to be serious, offer up some weaksauce, do-nothing proposal. When the Dems propose something meaningful, the GOP Senators in the safe states decry it, the others pretend to mull it over. Three months go by and it fades into a blip, then nothing.

Maybe we should defund more police, ignore and promote the mentally ill, push for more lax laws, and turn the criminals loose after they commit a crime. That’s the real solution amirite?

# 1 Biden has called for increasing funding to police

# 2 Seems odd that the GOP opposes background checks to look for red flags, such as police interaction indicating mental illness or crisis as disqualifiers for easy access. Why? Makes no sense to oppose that.

# 3 Agree we need to spend more on prisons and jails to accommodate more bad guys, serving longer sentences, particularly for gun crimes.

I hope that (for the first time ever), I end up agreeing with you 😉
