We already have laws for those circumstances and they are poorly executed. On that much you have already agreed. You still have not shown how registration of any kind prevents violence. I'm done, you keep railing, insulting, and evading.
Yak, Yak, Yak! Yada Yada Yada! Another shooting. Again liberals come out of the woodwork and demand more draconian gun laws. Even reasonable people say "We can't do nothing. We have to do something." The sad fact is that there is nothing we can do to prevent a crazy person from getting a gun if he really wants one and has the money to pay for it. There are already gun laws on the books. The only thing any new laws would do is make some people feel better until the next mass shooting, when they would holler for even more and more restrictions on our freedom to possess firearms. Increase the penalties for gun crimes? HA! If you plan to kill a dozen people you don't care what the penalty is for illegal use of a firearm. You already know that you are either going to be dead or in prison for the rest of your life.
Another self-righteous right-wing zealot who imagines that because there is no perfect solution it means that we can do nothing at all. It is not a fact at all. How do you know that there is "nothing" we can do? You don't. There is just nothing that the gun lobby wants you to do.
Houser wasn't the prototype young loner. If his legal gun purchase had been declined he would have bought one from somebody he knew. Despite his nuttiness, he had friends who he would joke around with. He would lock his bar at closing time an pour free drinks for his friends after hours. The Newport shooter stole his mother's guns. Dylan Roof had black drinking buddies. I'm sure one of them could have obtained a gun for him. Your solution of gun registration would not stop a single crazy person from shooting up whatever his target was. It would just somehow make you liberal feel good. Automobiles are registered and licensed. That doesn't stop drunks who have had their license revoked or suspended from getting behind the wheel and killing somebody. People go along with auto registration. You drive every day and you need a license plate to keep from being pulled over. You need insurance in case of an accident. Few people use their guns every day. There is already a record of a gun purchase from a licensed dealer in some database. If you make people register guns bought from private individuals I can guarantee that there will still be millions of unregistered guns. People don't resent registering their vehicles but would feel like being forced to register every single firearm they own would be an intrusion into their lives. A gun registration law would be broken even more often than laws against pot is broken. When you disparage "the gun lobby" you are disparaging millions of concerned citizens. I am part of the gun lobby as a life member of the NRA. As are millions of others. Not because they twisted our arms to believe what they stand for but because they fight for what we all believe that being an American stands for. I'm not saying that it's a good thing that nothing short of total confiscation can prevent determined wackos and Islamic terrorists from carrying out mass shootings. I say it because it's the truth. Unlike you misguided lib symps who go around like a chicken with its head cut off every time something bad happens and then hastily think up some new and unrealistic "solution" that won't work, I tell the truth that there are no laws that can be passed that would prevent thinks like that. You are one of the biggest liberals on this forum but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if you owned at least one or two firearms that nobody else knows about and that you don't want anybody to know about.
Wild-ass guess. Wild-ass guess. Wild-ass guess. That's not what registration is for, Goober. Registration makes somebody legally responsible for the car. Horseshit. I am disparaging lobbyists for the gun industry. No, you are a stooge of the gun lobby. The logic of an self-righteous pea-brain is truly amusing. Your ignorance is profound.
Not guesses. Logical deduction. You are incredibly naive if you don't think those wackos couldn't have bought a gun from some friend who liked him for the free drinks or that Roof's black friends couldn't have obtained a firearm for him, stolen or not. As far as you calling it a wild ass guess that Newtown shooter Adam Lanza didn't get his guns from stealing them from his mother it was widely reported at the time that that's where he got them. [/QUOTE]The logic of an self-righteous pea-brain is truly amusing. [/QUOTE] Does that mean you laugh at yourself? [/QUOTE]Your ignorance is profound.[/QUOTE] I didn't expect you to admit you have a secret stash of firearms. If you did it wouldn't be a secret.
Jindal: Westboro Baptist Members Who Protest Funerals Face Arrest The extremist group, which considers mass shootings an act of God, plans to picket Lafayette shooting victims' funerals. In Franklin, LA at the funeral of a popular girl who everybody liked they better hope all that happens to them is getting arrested. Those cops are probably adding a little extra weight to their night sticks as we speak http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...test-funeral-arrest_55b4f819e4b0a13f9d18d240?
I don't think he is saying do something Draconian, but he is right, something has to be done. If it is keeping a closer watch on the coo coo population I'm sort of okay with that, they are coo coo after all. And when I said tougher laws on illegal guns I meant for those that sell them. Put the screws to them and maybe that will curtail that a bit. I know a nut with a gun and a plan doesn't care but if shady Grady is facing 20 to life with accessory charges for any crime committed with that gun he may decide he is in the wrong line of work.
I am pretty sure that you were the one that said if you have to resort to calling names, you have no argument. You have been calling folks a lot of names "amigo".
