    The scenario you are talking about is far different than what we have been seeing in the news recently.  I have nothing against you having a gun in your home to defend your home and family.  

     


    But you do outside the home and it depends on the type of weapon I can use?

    Gee...there was no way we would have known any of that stuff, if they didn't tell us.  Glad they held a press conference!


    Make sure next time they (Republicans) don’t hold a press conference because you’re a liberal.  
     

    It’s okay when Democrats do it, but not conservatives. 🙄

    It’s amazing how some want to reduce or eliminate a constitutional right due to a few evil people. 
     

    You’re probably the same who screamed “you can’t  blame all Muslims for 9-11!!!”

    So these idiots should probably be a little more concerned about their state, huh?

     

    How about you worry about YOUR state. No one, where I live, is concerned about someone carrying. I carry.

    THERE YOU GO FOLKS

     

    THIS IS THE ISSUE WITH THE CULT.

     

    THEY'RE RIGHT TO GUNS > THE RIGHT TO LIVE.

     

     

     

    LOL

     

    Dude, ever heard of the Bill or Rights? Yes or no. If you don't like them or the Amendments, move to a different country. If free speech more important that someone's life?

    They are right to guns?

    Sure they do.  Does that make it substantive?  Why hold a press conference to let us know how sad they feel, but offer nothing else? It was grandstanding to the highest degree. Trying to change the subject, and take attention away from the criticism that they are receiving for openly fostering a gun-worshiping culture.

     

    They are the two most powerful men in the state...they got nothing but culture wars.  O'Rourke (obviously in a losing battle) is showing them up...letting people see what absolute empty vessels they are, and letting people know, btw, there are alternatives.  They can gerrymander the state as much as they like to assure the ultimate re-elections, unless people just finally get fed-up with their bs.

     

    You must have not watched it. 95% was informational. What happened, who it was, understanding of the gunman (criminal and mental health info), type of firearm, timeline, etc.

    There is nothing about your right to possess an AR-15 in the constitution.

     

     

    Ummm.... well, the SCOTUS already established it is a right. Try again.

    You are very quick to throw water on this issue... an issue that is terribly out of hand.

     

    It is quite clear that you think your right to posses a gun >  than the life of those kids that died yesterday and the people in Buffalo last week.

     

    Enough is enough already...

     

     

     

    Factually, it is. We have the 2A. It's a RIGHT. 

     

    BTW: Murder is illegal.

    Isn't it grandstanding for Abbott and Patrick to hold a press conference to say how sad they (and their spouses are), but essentially assure everyone that there is nothing they can do?

     

    Question... do local, state and federal officials NOT hold press conferences after tragedies? On both sides?

    What is the waiting period for purchasing a firearm in the state of Texas?

     

     

    We've already covered this, Einstein. 

    Just now, SoCal Deek said:

    Thanks. I’m really not a gun advocate…at all. So if you’re correct, why did the President make his ranting statements last night? Why not propose some legislation that would actually have an impact? 

     

    I didn't hear what he said regarding that part. What did he say. 

     

    And I seriously appreciate you asking questions. This is another major issue in this debate. People 'think' they understand firearms based off CNN, Fox News or politicians and it's nearly all incorrect.

    What are the requirements for fire arm purchases in TX?

     


    There is no waiting period in TX. CA is 10 days. 

     

    You fill out the SAME EXACT form and do a NICS check. I've done dozens of them. 

     

    The difference is wait time. Most states don't have a "wait time" because it's moronic. California has the highest number of "mass shootings" (real ones, not gang BS) and I know I don't want my daughter(s) having to wait TEN DAYS to protect herself from someone threating her. Of course, I wouldn't let it get to that point.

    Yeah - did you see how fast the klan jumped?

     

    Go Beto go!

     

    Again, grandstanding. That's what he did. Textbook. 

     

    And the guy you mention is the towns mayor. But you don't give a sh*t because he's conservative.

    Yes, we do... And states have their own laws... just look at Texas.  

     

    You can buy a gun faster than it takes to get a car wash at Delta Sonic.

     

     

     

    You go through the SAME background check in Texas as you do in California.

    As I’ve stated….I’m really not a gun guy, but in this instance what difference would the ‘assault ban’ have made to the  unarmed little kids in that classroom? Could the shooter not have been able to do the same, or similar, damage with a couple of hand guns? 

     

    Studies have shown, it made zero difference in school shootings. None. And yes, a 9mm could kill as many as the AR in CQ (close quarters). The worst school shooting in American history was carried about my a little P22 (.22 pistol) and a 9mm handgun. 

     

    AR's and Glocks have the same rate of fire.

    Most Americans want to be safe and support some form of gun control and safety

     

    In the end, THIS IS NOT NORMAL and the blame needs to go to the voters who vote these NRA loving SOBs in year after year.

     

     

     

    We have laws in place for gun control right now. And many-many Americans are uneducated regarding firearms and get their info from CNN and Fox (both have been way off about firearms).

    For people looking for possible solutions to reducing gun deaths (elimination is possible but we should strive to save lives where we can), I find this article from 2017 to have a helpful breakdown of potential solutions that are backed by data:

     

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/06/opinion/how-to-reduce-shootings.html

     

    Some highlights of potential solutions:

     

     

    I think most of these are fairly reasonable starting points. And we already banned bump stocks in 2019, so that's one box already checked. I would also suggest de-gendering the domestic abuse one. Women can be abusers as well and should be subject to the same restrictions as men.

     

    This is the issue. Banning bump stocks, which are completely worthless (I had one, sold it like after the first time I used it), makes zero difference in violent crime. It will likely be legal to own again, just FYI. One court (US Military court in fact) already said it's NOT a machine gun. 


    Can't read the rest... not subscribed to the Times.

    All crime?  ***** dude we aren't even talking about stopping.  

     

    The hand wringing must come to an end.  Mental illness is way the ***** out of control.  Look at the homeless.  I would venture a guess that the number of people on the streets because they missed a few mortgage/rent payments is in the single digits.  But scooping them up and putting them someplace where they are not a harm to society and themselves is a VERY slippery slope but one I feel we need to go down.  

     

     

    I think you meant to address that towards Tiberius, not me. He's the one that said that. I was replying to his ridiculous claim.

    There are extremely stringent requirements regarding who has access to weapons produced for the US military.

    No such limitations are effective in our civilian gun culture.

     

    Huh? What US military weapon can you buy without a Form 4 ATF stamp and a long ass expensive wait? I guess you can buy sidearms... but besides that, huh?

    No, I'm outraged that this continues to happen.

     

    The only country in the developed world JUST ACCPETS the massacre of its people by GUNS that the average person DOES NOT NEED.

     

    You are the problem - you keep voting for roadblocks instead of solutions.

     

    OWN IT

     

     

    I haven't been able to vote for any gun law. I do own quite a few firearms (again, I compete long distance) and not one has ever hurt anyone. Well, I did get a copper jacket frag in my arm shooting once.

    Its not my job to provide solutions. 
     

    Get that thru your thick scull.

     

    People like you are the ones who vote for politicians who will not vote in favor of meaningful gun legislation.

     

    This is no longer about finding solutions - this is about voting out the ones who put barriers in place to find solutions to our problems.

     

    Get out of the f’n way

     

     

     

    Finally admit it. You just complain. 

     

    (who has control of the House, Senate and WH?)

    We could stop all crime this way!

     

    Because that's what we are talking about. All crime.

     

    Dude, you're exhausting. As someone who works in the mental health field, he's right. 

     

    Let me know your expertise in clinical mental health.
