Isla Vista killing....the NRA's fault?

Made me think of this.

 

Is that your best shot? You are shooting blanks. I'm disappointed. I thought you had more ammo in your verbal arsenal

 

Is it verbal when it's typed?

 

Yes, by absolute definition. It's a reference to the use of words as opposed to pictures, etc.

 

Quit proving me wrong shit.

 

I'm not in a competition with you. I'm not interested in arguing for the sake of arguing. I stated my point, you responded but failed to refute it and then thread the discussion into your little mental breakdown. You somehow managed to press your sausage-like appendages into the keyboard in a random order that somehow grouped letters together into a few coherent words. It's a bunch of nonsense because you have shown that you are incapable of articulating your point with any semblance of logic or maturity.

I don't argue with children. I can't take you seriously, so the conversation is pretty much done until you grow the fuck up. What else is there?

“It is haunting that the family of the gunman who committed this massacre in Isla Vista was desperate to stop a tragedy, and yet they lacked the tools to do so,” Senator Boxer said. “My bill would give families and associates who fear someone close to them could commit violence new tools to help prevent these tragedies.”

The new legislation – The Pause for Safety Act – will include the following provisions:

• One, it would help ensure that families and others can go to court and seek a gun violence prevention order to temporarily stop someone close to them who poses a danger to themselves or others from purchasing a firearm.
• Two, it would help ensure that families and others can also seek a gun violence prevention warrant that would allow law enforcement to take temporary possession of firearms that have already been purchased if a court determines that the individual poses a threat to themselves or others.
• Three, it would help ensure that law enforcement makes full use of all existing gun registries when assessing a tip, warning or request from a concerned family member or other close associate.

 

There. Don't you feel better now? Your points are that you have consistently had no points except to repeat your mantra of "Guns bad, Guns kill people,". You know its not going to happen but lets just say you got your wish and all guns were made illegal. That would stop gun deaths, right? Wrong! As I have said before most of the bad guys have already been convicted of a felony and its already against the law for them to possess firearms. If they can't buy them legally they will steal them or buy them on the street. Some of the good guys would say "This is crazy, I'm not giving up my guns. I'll just have to hide them and not let anybody know I have them. Other good guys, being law abiding citizens, would be without guns and thus defenseless against the bad guys.

Just look at Chicago and Washington D.C. They both have very restrictive gun laws, yet the crime rate in those cities remains sky high. A bad guy is much more likely to rob, rape, assault his victims if he is pretty sure the victim is defenseless. A story in the news recently about an instance in the Lafayette area. A man entered a house where his sister was being held against her will by her former boyfriend and at the moment the entered the house the former BF was in the process of repeatedly stabbing the sister. So the man shot and killed him, thereby saving the life of his already critically injured sister. Would you have denied him his right to protect his family?

Here is a fact for you. Most serial killers don't use guns to kill their victims. Other than Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz and DC sniper John Allen Muhammed they mostly kill their victims with knives or strangulation. You say it takes more balls than most people have to stab somebody but it seems to be one of the preferred methods for the worst of the worst and the sickest of the sick.
As far as I know neither Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Dahmer, the Green River Killer, Derek Todd Lee, Sean Vincent Gillis and many more ever killed anybody with a gun.

Your comment about a cell phone being as good as a gun is just plain naive. There is a saying: "When seconds count the police are only minutes away."

 

What do serial killers have to do with gun violence? Also I'm having trouble finding people who are saying to take people's guns away. That's not going to happen. But smart sensible gun laws are not going to hurt anyone.

I'm gonna quote Sam Elliot's Virgil Earp. "Now wait a minute, no one is saying you can't own a gun, no ones saying you can't carry a gun, we're just saying you can't carry a gun in town. Is that too much to ask?"

Well is it? I don't think so.

 

We already have a lot of sensible gun laws. At least they are sensible in a lot of places. Its already against the law everywhere for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. And like I've said before mental wackos shouldn't be allowed to buy guns but unlike criminal records which are public, medical records are not a matter of public record. Those provisions of the Pause for Safety law that LSUpride just posted look sensible and might prevent some incidents of gun violence but not all. You can say to make the records of people who have sought psychological treatment public but that would be wrong. Millions of people have had counseling because of things like depression over the loss of a loved one or loss of job or other temporary circumstances that almost everybody experiences at some time or other in their lives.

Some laws are not at all sensible. A friend of mine who lived in California about 15 years ago told me that in California you are allowed to carry a gun in your car but it has to be unloaded and in a locked box and in the trunk of a car. I don't know what it is for pickups or SUVs. You also have to have any ammunition in another locked box separate from the box containing the gun. "Excuse me, mister robber/killer while I open my trunk and unlock these two boxes and load my gun."

I only mentioned serial killers because it was brought up that most people would shy away from resorting to a knife if they didn't have a gun. By the way I doubt that Virgil Earp's town included an inner city rampant with armed gangs and drug dealers.
