Notice Time to change your legislation regarding carrying weapons

[Blazer4ever]

This is simply terrible. Mass killing in vegas, mass killing in florida, shooting in schools and you just accept it because what? it's part of your colture? the wild wild west? the good, the bad and the ugly? actual people are getting killed, school kids. every lunatic can take a gun and start shooting, how is that making any sense.
you hit the streets to protest the elections, this is what you need to protest, it's simply unacceptable. it makes no sense.
change it

3 of the 10 most deadly shootings in America’s 240 year history have come in the last 5 months.

In Israel we have many issues but even in Israel they don't let you just buy a weapon in the store

Thanks Trump

I don't live in Israel.

 

[Blazer4ever]

To eleborate on the previous question, In Israel you need a license to carrying weapon, I don't have such license and probably wouldn't get one if I tried.
I'm not saying things in Israel are perfect in any way, but this is about your country and something you need to change for your guys sake

Thanks Trump

Are you looking to join the society of utter asses? You just did.

I'm a whole ass

Thanks Trump

This isn’t Trump - I wish I could blame it on him. It’s about the NRA becoming a lobbying arm of gun companies and not just protecting the 2nd.

And who do you think these gun companies and the NRA have in their pocket

“It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful in military service — M-16 rifles and the like — may be banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely detached from the prefatory clause. But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty. It may well be true today that a militia, to be as effective as militias in the 18th century, would require sophisticated arms that are highly unusual in society at large. Indeed, it may be true that no amount of small arms could be useful against modern-day bombers and tanks. But the fact that modern developments have limited the degree of fit between the prefatory clause and the protected right cannot change our interpretation of the right.”

And eho do you think these gun companies and the NRA have in their pocket

Trump - yes! But this is a systematic problem that swallowed Trump. I’m not saying he is devoid of blame, I’m saying he is just a scratch on the surface.

It sucks that schools aren't gun-free zones. If we could make a law that guns weren't allowed to be on school property maybe this wouldn't have happened.

What's that you say? That all three of the events Further and Chris were referencing were at places where guns were not allowed, even in self-protection (similar to the Fort Hood and Navy Yard and Chattanooga shootings)? That's an interesting development...

Of course guns aren't allowed at schools. Its not about that. Its about mentally ill people should not have access to or allowed to own guns. They are not capable of being responsible for them and should therefore not have them.

"Capable of military service" Are mentally ill people capable of military service?"

Hitler and Napoleon served in the military

 

[Chris Craig]

Hitler and Napoleon served in the military

Not in our military

 

[riverman]

Not in our military

you asked if mentally ill people were capable of military service...not American military service...lot of whack jobs join the military...ptsd is a product of military service and is a mental illness

Ha! The good Justice was exactly that, a Good Justice. Not a tactician , nor even a General. Useful in this case depends, of the objective.
Washington did not overwhelmingly defeat the British. He and his army out lasted them, and deigned them total control of the country, even though poorly armed.

The Gun owning population of America will always pose the same impediment to tyranny in this country today as long as we have that right in the Constitution. The god give right to protect oneself with the force of arms, was extended to include the right to protect the people from tyranny by the force of arms if necessary as specified in the Declaration of Independence. The right of the people to change the government if necessary.

There is no need to give up this right. It would indeed, be very stupid . Nothing has change here in the past 231 years.

We do need to protect the schools for the evil doers, those incapable of following law or even civility, but not give up our rights in the process.

except for actual weapons...they've changed a hell of a lot since then....magazine capabilities...range....a lot has changed indeed.

The majority of United States citizens would agree they don't wan't guns in the hands of mentally ill people. What if, it is, god forbid, someone from your family next. I know I dont want a crazy person marching into my sons school with guns ablazing

Haha. The biologist in me is extremely envious of your sea faring lifestyle. Witnessing nature is such a fantastic and life affirming thing.
