An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

Including "assault rifles" .... you tell me Magoo.
We've always had semi automatic rifles & pistols in my life time....we've never had mass shootings and killings or the contempt for life we have now.
If those are "straw men" to you, look in the mirror and you'll see a straw man staring back at you...

You must be young, or have selective memory. Semi-automatic weapons known as "assault weapons" were banned by Federal law from 1994 to 2004, but many similar weapons were not banned even then due to quirks in how "assault weapons" were defined in the law, and subsequent redesign actions by gun manufacturers to evade the law made the whole thing moot. Political action by the NRA (heavily influenced by the manufacturers and dealers - have you noticed?) has so far defeated any attempt to extend or renew the ban.

I will withdraw my statement about your straw men if you will describe what exactly it is that you are arguing against.

You must be old and have lost your mind.
I'm talking about the 60's, 70's, 80's before the so called assault weapons ban.
California has an assault weapons ban. Has since about 1989. It's also against the law to murder people & assault folks.
Pass all the laws and ban certain weapons, but until society addresses why folks would want to kill innocent people, innocent folks will continue to be killed.
I'm not arguing for or against anything, you are. I'm simply pointing out facts. Pass more laws and ignore where we are as a nation, nothing will change.

How do you suggest that society address that?

I'm asking the question to promote thought, in this case deeper than simply passing another law.
More laws won't change what is wrong with many folks in our country.
The fact that you don't get it is a surprise to no one.

And again you make something up to be against.

Exactly what did I "make up to be against"?

Hunker Dunker is just a dingaling.
You hit the nail on the head.
We dont need more laws.
If someone goes online and says he is gonna shoot people, we should believe him and send in the white coats.
We already have laws against making terrorist threats.
Its not rocket science.

I'm not going to do anything.
My job is to protect the health of the nation by installing top notch plumbing systems.
I protect my own home.
If someone tries to kill me or my family, they might wake up dead.
If you feel it was a terrorist threat, do what you think you need to do.
I'm sure any threat to an elected official is monitored.





Madaonna said she thought alot about blowing up the White House.
What happened there?
