Massacre Again

And yet (GOP) FL passed some common sense red flag laws a few years back, despite opposition from the NRA (downgraded pols from A to C on guns) and the political blow back from the electorate was basically zero. People, i.e. us, are fine with common sense gun laws to keep the guns out of or to take the guns away from those that shouldn't have them.

BTW, you do know that you don't have to register your gun in many states, e.g. AZ for instance, so the whole "licensed" guns is a misnomer. There is no national database of owners, there's no national database of gun violence even ... 'cos the NRA.
Look, what your side has been doing is insane and no one in theor right mind would give up the best weapon a man can by. Look you guys. You go full Russia Russia and then Impeach twice, then start a pandemic, then lockdown, then mask, then riots, then close small biz down, then jabs for everyone or get fired. Then you guys jump over to stealing the election by using Mules and then stop producing oil and then leave Afghanistan with weapons, then look to start ww3 and send $40,000,000,000 to Ukraine and help small biz with zero. Gas is now $9.19 and shootings are everywhere. What i think is that you are wrong and have been wrong. Your brain has been hacked big time. Sorry, you're 100% wrong about everything. It's not too late to capitulate. Killing babies, starting wars with bio weapons, firing people for not taking the juice and then trying to take guns away from people is insane and you will lose. What happen in some small towns in AZ is insane as well!!!

Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania along with a majority of states have no gun registration laws
 
One has to hope they will look into changing the laws regarding 18 yr olds and rifles...
I have mixed views on the 18 year old threshold.

You are old enough to vote. You are old enough to kill/die for your country. You are old enough to drive (& have been for a couple of years).

You are not old enough to drink (weird).

IMV, you do all the checking up front. You also have red flag laws so if something changes you can legally protect people. The 18 vs 21 thing becomes moot at that point.
 

Full of shit you are, as usual.

I'm all for red flag laws but the data and access to it has to be better. I'm not confident our government can pull that off. I think we need to consider some sort of public/private partnership when it comes to gun safety...and yes I realize that's probably like trying to catch a unicorn at the end of a rainbow.

The vast majority are for common sense gun laws (which is just one variable we have to address) and we need to start somewhere. Will this solve the probably, absolutely not, but I believe it will help a bit. We know doing nothing doesn't work. The claim that "gun laws only affect law abiding citizens" is a BS rationalization. Most laws are more burdensome for law abiding citizens than criminals. Personally I think "hardening" schools should be our first priority.

Our government purposely prohibits collection of the data, that's how stupid this has become. There's no doubt (in my mind) that we can implement laws and policies that are supported by the vast majority of the people of this country, which in turn will reduce significantly the incidences of these mass murders, while ensuring people's 2nd amendment rights are not impacted.

Too many pols are just interested in thoughts (how much $ from NRA can I get from this) and prayers (praying this blows over quickly), than on saving lives.
 
We have laws on the books , we can make more laws , but will they be prosecuted ?

Who is going enforce these laws ? Doesn’t that mean more policing ?

I don't think there is a law on the books that has not been broken by someone at some time. Should we get rid of all those obviously ineffective laws also?

YES !
Just like YOU got rid of that ineffective Toyota PU You posted about
trying to patch up YOUESELF. Unless YOU'RE still " hoarding " that
ineffective pile.
 
Researchers say being part of a set of available and long-term resources to preempt active shooters is far more important than annual active shooter drills

Mass killing events remain rare, comprising fewer than 1% of all firearms homicides and rarer than lightning strikes as a cause of death.

Isn't Lexipro the company that advises police officers to say "stop resisting" as soon as they turn on their bodycams?

I don't know.
I do know that you usually know the answer to questions you pose.....
How do you know the officers weren't saying "stop resisting" before "they turn on their bodycams"?

I just watched a youtube video today involving a private citizen going to a police station to get a complaint form because he felt he was racially profiled in a traffic stop. The duty sergeant tried to intimidate the citizen apparently not knowing that the citizen was using a hidden camera and apparently forgetting that the station has its own security cameras. Words were exchanged, and as the citizen was leaving the station the sergeant tackled him from behind and as he was holding the citizen down with a knee to the back and cuffing the limp citizen (who was fully aware of the camera situation) the first words out of the sergeant are "Stop resisting".

That seems to be a theme in those hidden camera videos. It looks like the police are trying to manufacture evidence because they know they have a weak case. The widespread nature of those situations makes me suspect that it is deliberately trained -- which brings up back to Lexipro's core business.
 
Folks go off the rails often...
What did y'all think of Democrat Rep. Katie Porter of California suggested in a recent MSNBC interview inflation and abortion are issues that are tied at the hip — meaning, if Americans really want to fight inflation, then they better support abortion on demand.
She explained how if there's inflation, there is a rise in the price of every commodity necessary to survive. It becomes expensive to feed and provide for the children, and to put gas in the vehicles. People should be in charge of how many members they want in the family, and how many “mouths they need to feed”.

Synopsis
On Wednesday night, Democratic Katie Porter said that women will have to abort their children due to the rising inflation. She believes that inflation has caused the prices to rise in everything and women should have the right to understand how big of a responsibility it is to start a family.

Well was the man resisting?
Are there dozens of these videos? Hundreds? Thousands?
Brings me back to the causes listed under the study...did you bother to read the study or did you just simply poo-poo it because of the source?
