Another day another mass shooting in America

[Brian37]

Christ on a bike - shooting gamers now?  GAMERS??

Two scenarios I've seen so far: One, game gets eliminated and trips off. Two, someone walks in and starts busting caps.

Three, they had access regardless of motive.

I am looking for a 100% ban.


































But, unlike them, I'm willing to compromise!

Minn, I love you, but no, that wont happen. 

Japan allows firearms too, despite what some might think. The reason they don't have the amount of firearm deaths we do, isn't because of a ban, but the attitude they have about them. They have better economics and lower pay gap, and value education, and a better sense of responsibility for their neighbors, so when you live in a safe place, and don't have to fear being shot, you don't feel the need to own one, outside say hunting or sports shooting.

Australia too, does not ban them, but after 1 mass shooting they got their act together.

I am not for a 100% ban, for the most part because it is impractical. I certainly am for an attitude change. I am sick of the attitude that "rights" means "no rules" and "sell more" which has  nothing to do with the HUGE responsibility that owning one requires.

You don't need to carry them in public, unless you have a job that requires it, like a police officer, or licensed private detective, or licensed security guard. But I am not against having them for home protection if they are locked in a safe unloaded away from children. I am certainly for better vetting to insure disturbed individuals, even with no record, don't get their hands on them. I am not against using them for hunting either.

The NRA only has about 5 million members. But there are 55 million firearm owners, so the NRA does not represent the majority of owners. And I think you remember a couple months ago Fox did a survey which blew up in their faces which said even most firearm owners want something done.
