A law-abiding responsible gun owner strikes again.

Post Reply New Topic

A gun can't be locked out because that would render it useless when it's needed most. People have free will. People have killed people for ions. Not to trivialize what happened here, but again the Left is taking one shooting, blowing it out of proportion and labeling all gun owners as crazy and unable to handle a weapon. You could take guns away from mentally ill people (which this woman was - supposedly), but where does that stop? Who doesn't have a history of anxiety or depression? The man who tried to kill Trump had Autism. There's a lot of Aspies here that I would trust with a gun before some NT's. You want a free country - the freedom comes with people being allowed to have guns.

if nothing changes regarding gun laws then half of the US population gets even more angry and useless and the other half gets even more up their own asses. generally speaking. i want to keep the right to have my guns too but idk what kind of changes would actually work to benefit both humanitarian sides, i just know that possibilities exist. and personally i would not be concerned if it was more difficult to access guns because i'm a rational, non-violent, law-abiding US citizen and that's the literal price of freedom.

People will think up any "excuse" or "reason" to keep their precious guns. But what happens when someone you know (and love) get shot or killed by a gun? Then what? Do you continue to look the other way and spout the same old stuff?

Not trying to attack- just making a point. Enough is enough, there NEEDS to be more background checks, needs to be more restrictions.. period. Lives should be saved, not be at risk because of cowards that don't want to offend NRA and/or other people that are supplying them with hush money, bribe money, etc.

There is plenty of responsible gun owners, but there is plenty of people that shouldn't have guns. There needs to be better laws in place to stop them before crimes happen. Also I strongly feel the wait time to get a gun should be increased. NO EXCUSES.

Shooting your daughters is law-abiding, is it?

News to me.

Oh look, a tragedy being exploited for cheap political points by people who wouldn't even have the guts to enforce the restrictions they want.

The mother is a loon. However what was up?
"Identified As" thru a facebook post. Also had tons of nice stuff on her kids.
The woman is dead so no narrative from her is forthcoming obviously after shooting her kids she decided on suicide by cop.

What was the father's part in this... ?
He is present in the home during the fight. It is his birthday and no one is drunk. How the heck it get so bad?

Republicans in Missour repealed their universal background check law, the result was a 25% increase in homicides compared to other states[1]. California and Connecticut saw similar declines in gun deaths and homicides when they enacted universal background check laws[2][3].
The "assault rifle" ban in the 90's resulted in 85% less deaths in mass shootings[4].
Gun control saves lives, republicans need thousands of people need to die so criminals can have the ability to kill 50 people in a minute.

The AWB had a limited effect because it only lasted ten years and it didn't take any weapons that were already in circulation. Had the ban stayed in effect the amount of assault rifles would dwindle and you'd see a greater effectiveness in the law.
