What is your prefered phrase for murders or wounding when that murder or wounding is accomplished by someone with a firearm?
Ok, regardless of what term you prefer and how you see the problem, there was, yet again, another high-profile school shooting (or whatever you want to call that) and the press and politicians and social media is all aglow with the usual shit that we have to deal with. So the question is, what to we do? And Sir, I understand that you don't want to do anything so this question is for others. The do nothing approach seems not likely to last forever. I say, the gun community should come to the table, tell them all the shit we want. Tell them what we can tolerate in return. The Dems and GOP write up a draft bill and ... it probably goes nowhere as the Dems likely won't agree. Then we can blame things on them rather than the other way around.
If it was me I would have done it "the hard way" and gambled on a lottery payout for illegal search and seizure.
Got another live one here folks.
It's all the Left has. Their vocabulary is small. Hitler, Hater, Racist, and several others they simply repeat, and repeat. The Left is not interested in debating anything. They are only interested in destroying the Constitution, re-making America as a Socialist Nation, open borders and will not stop unless confronted and stopped.Hilarious
You're leftist emotional argument is reduced to dust by the facts and all you can resort to is a personal attack?

Actually we do.......your "make guns safer" is genetically linked to Left Wing talking points.
Come to the Table?
Just because MA/NJ/IL/CA have caved on
Fall into traps much? You have to be joking.
Not some made up term that is intentionally used to get people to react emotionally instead of living in the real world
@crookedteeth you need to read this out loud every single day
Arming teachers isn't going to help, but not disarming them might.
Is that listed before or after knife violence, vehicular violence, and base ball bat violence?
I’ve tried talking to teachers about that. I’ve never met one who wasn’t outraged at the suggestion. Most teachers are women and are adamantly against guns, at least around here. I’ve suggested at least allowing teachers to be armed if they so choose but almost all were against that. Maybe parents said they wouldn’t send their kids to schools that had guns. Maybe in Alabama but not in the Communist State.
Exactly. Could we get full auto? Sure. Of course, there would be a long process with checks but we could judge the pros and cons of any trade off.
yeah. I am sure there are some. What I tell them is that if only 5% of teachers keep a gun locked in their desk (not even carry), it would be major problem for school shooters. They could shoot their way into the school, maybe shoot up one classroom but then they’d have a hard time going down the hallway to the next one. Teachers could defend the hallway pretty well in a concrete doorwell with any gun.
Negotiate doesn’t mean compromise on anything you care about. Just change the political dynamics so that people blame Democrats for not compromising when kids die in school shootings.
For example, fix the broken background check system. Put background checks into the hands of private third parties. Use privacy preserving linkage so the government and other parties who have good reason to block people can do without knowing who applied for a gun. That’s a win, win as I see it. It means the government has even less info on who has guns but can still block criminals.
