2A = "...shall not be infringed."
Before we jump into that pit how about we consider strict enforcement (and a wall) to address the problem of death by illegals.
Just looking at one category, deaths caused by illegals, it is estimated that 3000+ Americans a year die as a result of illegals.
Rounding this to 3000 a year means that 8.2 citizens per day or 58 per week are killed by illegals who should not be here. This is a mass casualty catastrophe far outshadowing the occurrences of school shootings. Even if we take half of that count as being valid we have 29 deaths per week at the hand of illegals.
This is definitely a controllable problem that should be addressed before we discuss gun control which is a no-go from the start.
Sounds right.
How much more on back ground checks can you have to what is there right now?
Unless of course you find a way to link every database in the world and start denying permits for all manner of subjective criteria.
Every gun law on the books was placed there by the demands of Liberals, from 1968 till now. Every one of them was “guaranteed” to stop crime in it’s tracks. Every one failed.
So the cry is “MORE GUN CONTROL! MORE GUN CONTROL!”
Fix the existing background checks first.
Me too! Check their voter registration, if they are dim0s, turn them down. Check it out, all the mass shooters are dim0s.
The killer in Florida would have passed any background check. Unless you intend to make buying a rifle require a security clearance.
Stick to equal law enforcement for ALL Mr. President.
Young, old, infirm, ELECTED OFFICIALS, ALL.
Stop trying to run the country by polls!!
Don’t get “do something” disease.
More laws don’t do anything at all.
People are reacting to the dim media blitz to blame all of this on guns.
People who do mass shootings are either evil people with no soul or conscience or are extremely mentally ill. Not the sort of people to obey regulations, laws. The thing is there are already laws against going to a school or anywhere else and randomly shooting people. Why would people think for a minute new laws would make any difference?
Passing new firearm regulations/laws will do nothing to stop mass shootings. The only result will be to punish law abiding people and to take us closer to the point where people will not be allowed to own firearms.
We need to immediately protect schools; some schools in Oklahoma and Texas have allowed teachers and other personnel to be armed. Schools not willing to do this need to hire armed security.
We need to address the laws and funding concerning mental health treatment. It is nearly impossible to get mental health help in this country. We also need to be able to lock up people that are a danger even against their will, for longer than 72 hours. That is a joke, 72 hours is not long enough for a thorough evaluation and I personally know of a person that was released without one because the 72 hour hold timed out- it was a long weekend. There are many studies saying mass shooters are not mentally ill- but I would bet they are and just were not diagnosed because they were not in treatment.
