RaiderHaters Revenge 3,585 Posted February 16, 2018 It I done feel this way, but ban all guns, set up rental stations with a 1 month background check for hunting, allow ranges and such to rent guns to use on property. Re-write the constitution, and make it a lifetime sentence for possession of firearm after Jan 1st 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted February 16, 2018 Look at other civilized countries with drastically lower gun crime and copy their laws. Now granted, because we have the most black people, we will always have the most gun crime overall, that is simple fact, don’t shoot the messenger. But it would cut down a lot maybe.

SUXBNME 1,335 Posted February 17, 2018 If they did that he would have just killed 17 people with a knife amirite? The Bath School disaster, sometimes known as the Bath School massacre, was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan, which killed 38 elementary schoolchildren and six adults and injured at least 58 other people.[Note 1] Kehoe killed his wife and firebombed his farm, then detonated an explosion in the Bath Consolidated School before committing suicide by detonating a final device in his truck.

To your second point remove that from the equation and we move to #3 on the least amount of gun deaths per capita. But because we can't have an honest discussion about race we will never have one about guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But because we can't have an honest discussion about race we will never have one about guns. While absolutely true, there are tons of socio-economic factors that cant be ignored. We also need to have an honest discussion about protecting kids st school, and these school shooters are basically all white. Even as a gun owner and advocate for our rights, it would be irresponsible to completely disregard something that is uniquely American (mass school shootings). I dont know what the answer is, and definitely dont think armed guards at school are it, but as a father Im open to any discussion that will help prevent my daughter being another casualty. Like most things, I believe the solution is somewhere in the middle, and lawmakers on both sides need to have that discussion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted February 17, 2018 Neither side of the gun control issue is going to budge. We've seen it time and time again. Right or wrong. That being said we need to find a way to limit these types of occurrences as it is impossible to prevent all of them. Logic would say we have to start with mental health. No, actually. Seeing as how determining mental health issues is extremely difficult, and limiting those persons from having guns in a society where they are for sale everywhere would be impossible, the logical place to start would be our absurdly easy access to high efficiency killing machines. You know. Like damn near every other country on the planet has done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
