Re: Congrats to "Pro Life" Republicans/Libertarians and the NRA.. Back To School Means School Shootings..
at least then we would have a more clear vision of who we're working with and people could vote accordingly.
I mean, most of us know.. obviously, but here are still some folks out there who think that republicans/libertarians actually care about them and their families.
I guess being dishonest and manipulative is part of their plan.

There are thousands and thousands of unregistered guns, guns with no serial numbers, etc. If the government comes for guns, what is to prevent these bad actors from hiding them. You will never ever get good guys with guns to give them up so long as bad guys still have their guns, and it would be a recipe for disaster.
I'm certainly open to hearing any kind of solutions. The border does not keep me up at night, nor does abortion or trans women playing sports. With the 3 people in my life that I hold dearest spending 75% of their time in public schools every day, including a HS freshman, guns keep me up at night.

we managed to get through East Lansing Public Schools without an incident, but our daughter was doing active shooting drills all the way back in elementary school.WhiteBoyHatcher wrote:Trapper Gus wrote:

I'd say active shooter drills for an 8 year old has a bigger emotional impact on them than, say, reading Catcher In The Rye, but that's just me.
Then came February 13th, 2023 - the MSU shooting. She was on campus, saw students running out of the Union with their hands up, screaming. The phone call we received from her is something I'll never forget. A well-adjusted, smart kid in grad school at MSU sobbing uncontrollably, trying to explain what she saw, what she was hearing.
anyway.. we all have our stories.
I just hate it for our kids that this is the world they have to live in because of a bunch of republican/libertarian cowards who refuse to do what, I suspect, they know is right (maybe I'm being naive). I can't imagine choosing guns over human life, emotional security.

I can promise you the solution is NOT more guns. The solution is mitigation, not elimination. Seat belts don't prevent all traffic accident death/injury. Neither do anti-lock breaks. Yet they are required by law. Why? Because they mitigate the problem. They don't solve it. So...
Assault weapons ban. Statistics show this was effective the last time it was enacted.
Red flag law.
3 day waiting period with mandatory background check.
Required registration and license.
Tax ammo. Tax guns. Just like booze and tobacco. Keep raising those taxes. Just like booze & tobacco.
I'd go so far as to require a gun safety certification to own one. Just like a driver's test for a driver's license.
There are plenty of ways to mitigate. There is no 100% solution. Stop letting perfect be the enemy of the good.

You don't have to sell me on these common sense measures. I'm just asking Trapper for his plan since he advocates for eliminating guns and says you're a coward if you don't agree that it is feasible.

Wonder why the shooter’s father continued to have guns and ammunition in the house available after his son had been interviewed by the FBI.

Re: Congrats to "Pro Life" Republicans/Libertarians and the NRA.. Back To School Means School Shootings..
When I say "Ban Guns" I do mean it.
In the general public there are no real reasons anyone randomly needs a gun.
There are specific uses, hunting or killing pests are reasonable gun uses, however gun owners don't need to have guns for that 247.
Self defense in not an acceptable reason.
Police also do not need guns, guns just make them reckless of human life.
So there are acceptable reasons for guns.
How to eliminate guns?
Take your pick.
Outlaw them.
Tax in various ways at high rates.
Registration with specific allowed usage, aka hunting or pest control.
What holds us back is people wrongly believing nothing can be done.

we can't ban drunk driving - we can only regulate automobiles, alcohol, establishments that serve alcohol, etc., and punish offenders accordingly.
republicans/libertarians need violence. They need children to be murdered. It provides the fuel necessary to advance their agenda. I think what decent folks who love our family and friends can do is work to make sure republicans/libertarians become a permanent minority, in terms of representation, and move from there.

The first step to solving a problem is to admit there is a problem.
There are way too many uncontrolled guns in the US.
The simple solution is to get rid of them, Ban Guns in my parlance.
To say it can't be done is giving up before we try.

Thanks for the response(s). I'm not a big self defense guy but I disagree that it isn't an important enough factor to hold up your whole banning guns scenario in which we let all of the criminals keep their guns and all of the responsible gun owners and police have to turn in theirs. Listen to me, I sound like a fear mongering Republican. But seriously, your plan has some flaws.

Re: Congrats to "Pro Life" Republicans/Libertarians and the NRA.. Back To School Means School Shootings..
Slightly more realistic options is that it should be exceedingly easy to lose your guns. Like if for instance your 13 year old threatens to shoot up a school, you lose guns (and you can’t go buy one which is what he was allowed to do here.) all those licensing and whatnot requirements, miss a deadline lose guns. Do any number of things that could mean you’d use a gun to do something bad, lose guns.
Cops should have guns, except they should be locked in their trunk, not at their hip at all times begging them to do something stupid. There should be an investigation (by a third party) if they so much as open their trunk, much less actually use the weapon. Build in barriers to make their stupid fearful minds think for a second before they start shooting people.

The gun is what makes them a criminal. I joked earlier in the thread and said that last week they were good guys with guns but now they’re bad guys with guns, and that’s what I meant. They’re not criminals until they are criminals. Next weeks school shooter is this weeks law abiding gun owner who just wants to pertekt his family

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance said Thursday that he lamented that school shootings are a “fact of life” and argued the U.S. needs to harden security to prevent more carnage like the shooting this week that left four dead in Georgia.

If all guns are banned the criminals don't have guns, so a failure in logic there.
That is the canard that gun huggers use as fear mongering.
Currently more robberies do not involve guns than do.

Okay...
Here is how...
Ban Guns.
Penalty for having a gun, confiscating of all your property and 100 years in prison.
Or if you think that is too harsh, we make that the penalty for using a gun in commission of any other crime and change the penalty for having a gun to a fine of a lesser amount and 30 days in jail.
My point is that it isn't that banning guns is impossible, it's that people like you have to want to ban guns.
Since you are saying it can't be done, when it clearly can, you all support the unneeded murders of innocent children guns create.

About four-in-ten U.S. adults say they live in a household with a gun, including 32% who say they personally own one.
An easy statistic since only a third of citizens own guns.
Also easy because "Ban Guns" can be done via requiring registration of all guns with a large licensing fee, escalating from hundreds of dollars a year for single shot shotguns to hundreds of thousands for any multishot gun, including handguns.

A: Pass law banning guns

C: Nobody has guns anymore
What is B? How do we actually accomplish it?
Okay...
Here is how...
Ban Guns.
Penalty for having a gun, confiscating of all your property and 100 years in prison.
Or if you think that is too harsh, we make that the penalty for using a gun in commission of any other crime and change the penalty for having a gun to a fine of a lesser amount and 30 days in jail.
My point is that it isn't that banning guns is impossible, it's that people like you have to want to ban guns.
Since you are saying it can't be done, when it clearly can, you all support the unneeded murders of innocent children guns create.
I am not a gun owner, and I am not bothered by the notion of banning them. Acting like everyone who is not patting you on the back for the brilliance and nobility of your "ban guns" stance is responsible for gun violence is asinine.

Yes. However words lead to actions.
However those who deny it could be done are part of the problem, and to me they are just as responsible for every murder by gun as the person who pulls the trigget.

Trapper Gus wrote:BTW, yes a majority of people will willing comply.About four-in-ten U.S. adults say they live in a household with a gun, including 32% who say they personally own one.
An easy statistic since only a third of citizens own guns.
Also easy because "Ban Guns" can be done via requiring registration of all guns with a large licensing fee, escalating from hundreds of dollars a year for single shot shotguns to hundreds of thousands for any multishot gun, including handguns.
That's exactly what the white racists proposed when they wanted to keep "those people" from obtaining arms in the 60's.

If there was a magic wand that Traps could wave and make all the guns in the world disappear, I'd support his measure in a heartbeat. But because I recognize it's a stupid idea, I somehow support killing kiddos.
Welcome to the world of the "moderate" left.

Think hard about it. The lack of action by politicians because they want your gun jerking off vote is what is murdering children. Gun deaths are the number one killer of children in the US and you are to blame.

The asinine action is everyone who says we cannot Ban Guns to stop the number one killer of children in this country.
