Why do law abiding citizens who have never committed a crime get more laws and regulations? How is that going to help anything?
Because we are talking about a deadly weapon. We don’t give 11 year olds drivers licenses. People acting like “hey it’s a blender, we all should be able to have a blender” when it’s a firearm that kills people - including the gun owners themselves many times. We need to start treating them as such. America thinks they have this stupid god given right to carry a gun around like it’s a cell phone. It’s stupid.
11 year olds are not allowed to just carry guns around most places. We don't need additional laws for that.
I think I’d rather have an 11 year old carrying one than a 17 year old wannabe tough guy who is just itching to kill someone. Walking down the middle of a street draped over his shoulder like it’s a fucking purse.
I hear that. But you get fucked up behavior with riots. That's not a normal thing.
But what law was violated, and where is the evidence to support that? If he actually violated laws I'm all for punishing him to the max.
Good grief, do you really think that? A politicians job is to get elected/reelected and in this country you can't do that without a whole lot of money to run ads for yourself on TV & social media... thats not an opinion. The Supreme Court created this money dependent dynamic with Buckley v Valeo & Citizens United decisions among others. A vast majority of Americans are for all sorts of gun reform laws, but the NRA puts it's considerable funds (including Russian laundered $) against anyone who backs doing so.
If someone points a gun at you, they are breaking the law. According to multiple eyewitnesses & photographic evidence, the defendant did exactly that in the lead up to the melee.
If that evidence actually exists and is discernable, and he actually did advance on them first with his gun drawn I'd definitely support sending him to prison.
Do I believe that people vote however the NRA tells them? Yes, absolutely.
If you're in an area where hunting is allowed kids can carry guns in Oregon as well.
How can you possibly know what somebody is going to do with something they buy from you? 99% of guns sold are never used in any crime, let alone to kill somebody.
Welcome to Wisconsin I guess...
Yeah, if we really wanted to solve this problem to the best of our abilities we'd address it reasonably at a national level. But neither side wants to be reasonable so this is what we get.
That's just not true though. Every gun show I've ever been to requires a background check to sell a firearm. That background check prevents gun shows from selling (at least, hand guns) to out of state buyers.
Ok but let’s make sure if “hunting” is the excuse for having the gun that person is in the forest/area for animal hunting, not in a street full of people.
