We have background checks now. We have had them since 1993.

At some point you all are going to have to grow up. Your knee jerk “Do nothing” dogmas are not going to fly with voters any more.

17 died because 49 complaints about a psycho with a gun threatening others were disregarded. Threatening with a gun is a crime. He should have been in prison.

Okay, we get that Sen Amy Klobuchar is YOUR state senator. Are you on her staff? Campaign committee? Are you she?

Bull - my rights are sacrosanct. When the government decides to keep people out of the database for a political result and the 17 kids get shotbuo - that’s not a “gun” problem.

Yes, I know about those. Now they want to take them further to "Universal" background checks.

Why universal background checks won't work

Excerpt: To achieve any degree of success, the “universal” background check system would require universal gun registration. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) has already acknowledged this, which doomed the bill before it was drafted. Despite denials by some politicians, registration has already led to gun confiscation in the United States – in New York, California, Chicago, District of Columbia.

Voters are wary of repeating the same process in their home towns. National registration to support “universal” background checks is almost universally repugnant. This is the insurmountable hill representatives and senators face.

There is no objective reason to believe that. Gun control is always a loser with the voters.

This is quite possibly the most lame thing I have ever read. Most people, 54% according to Rasmussen, blame the government for this shooting. Just so I am clear on what you think, when the government screws up you think it is acceptable for them to take advantage of their screw up and infringe further on our rights? Have you noticed that government screw ups have been a factor in many mass shootings lately?

With all due respect, WOW you have been here since 2010...surprised you would post this...

Most around here don’t take kindly to “you all are going to have to...” do anything. It is, after all, FREE Republic.

Who are YOU to tell all of us we have to grow up?
What do you mean knee jerk “Do nothing dogmas”?

What will fly with voters is a thoughtful SOLUTION to the problem of school shootings—for most here, that means protecting children in schools like we do passengers on a plane—securing the facility, NOT GUN CONTROL.

Oh, and I don’t think there are ANY REASONABLE COMPROMISES WITH AGENDA-DRIVEN RADICAL LEFTIST GUN GRABBERS.
