Gun control debate (merged)

[evillawyer]

With over 400 million out there I’m sure you can come up with a law that all criminals will abide by.

Should we get rid of DUI laws since the hardened drunks don't obey them? Do you think the DUI laws prevent some deaths?

Only when the offender is locked up.

With over 400 million guns out there I’m sure our gun laws prevent a lot of deaths. When a drunk driver kills someone they are held responsible for their actions, not what they had been drinking or the vehicle they was driving.

My vote is 25. Those actuaries are following the math.

That is when the brain is fully mature in humans, on average.

You have dui laws , you have gun laws . You aren’t trying to do away with alcohol but you are guns … your logic is idiotic .

We don’t ban alcohol. We don’t regulate the difference in alcohol. We pass laws about it’s legal use.

Gotta love that liberal logic. DUI laws are laws against people. They don't inact laws to ban cars or even alcohol. But when a bad does evil, they want to ban the tool.

Are you talking about student loans?

I've never claimed that every government program is successful. They can all be improved, some could be scrapped, and new ones are needed.

What on earth could we need new government programs for?

 

[85SugarVol]

Our constitution exists to protect the individual from society.

how many fentanyl deaths occur in the USA each day? I bet the number is higher than most everyone thinks.

Yeah, but.... guns....

 

[NorthDallas40]

At least they are finally acknowledging the correct path to achieve their goals. Good luck with that.

CNN op-ed calls for repeal of the Second Amendment: ‘Let's just get rid of it’

 

[NorthDallas40]

I see EL is impressing everyone with her… intellect… again this afternoon

Just legalize all drugs.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Just legalize all drugs.

They should at least decriminalize possession or use of all of them. Nobody goes to the hoosegow for alcohol poisoning. It doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Just legalize all drugs.

Only if the penalties are stiff and unwavering for causing harm to others when under the influence or in search thereof.... but it won't be, because... liberals

 

[luthervol]

What on earth could we need new government programs for?

To transition people off of welfare. A one year (max) program designed to help a person get the best employment possible and housing they can afford and then they are off of welfare at the end of that 12 month period - regardless.

I like the sound of it, on the surface.

Do we need a “program” for that though?

 

[AM64]

Here’s a novel idea.. lock up criminals.

And quit trying to reform them. Teach them a skill ... like breaking big rocks into little rocks. Let them grow their own food.

Using the same logic as you seem to suggest for guns, we should get rid of cars.

Or Alcohol. We should try that.

You realize the republicans tried this with an 8 year program and the democrats lost their minds over it.
