Say good bye to your guns. I'd suggest moving to Russia that you love so much, but they have fairly strict gun laws too.
Maybe try acting like reasonable people and not throwing tantrums when children are dying next time? Obama held his hand out to you for 8 years and you just slapped it away. Now you can't even trust your own politicians.


It's not like this policy will change anything. Specific bans won't do anything. The best solution is to add more steps in the process of buying a gun.

Plus the bump stock ban was only suggested from the last major shooting where a bump stock was used.

"A complete betrayal"

Good lord


What other way is there to characterize it?


If you legitimately think wanting to do something about the country's rising shooting problem is "selling out" and a "betrayal" then for the sake of your child, put him up for adoption


There's a difference in wanting to do something, and doing something that will actually help, like say stationing retired peace officers at schools. Not taking away rights from law abiding citizens.


Making schools a violent battlefield is not the answer. Lol


Clearly the idea is to get the problem to sort itself outside by letting everyone kill each other. There can't be gun violence if everyone is already dead.

These polls suggest gun control public opinion is in line with the Democrats:

But with how fast the news cycle moves, who can say if that will be a priority come November? I imagine GOP efforts to undo the safety net might be a big issue.

Trump's travel ban is simply a poor attempt to try to ban muslim immigrants. There's no goal of safety for the US nor does it target countries like Saudi Arabia due to conflicts of interest.

Simply I'm against it because it's a useless piece of feel good legislation that had hurt US citizens when it was implemented.

Guns have been around for decades and we haven't had this level of mass shootings before. It was a rarity back in the day. What changed? The culture did.


I tend to agree that we had a culture shift and it is playing a role in this. I also believe that poor mental health + lack of mental health options + social stigmas + poor parenting is a formula for this, but this is just a layman observation.


If mental health was actually the problem. The US would have significantly more mental issues than other countries which it doesn't.

The US has decided to move away from safe gun ownership to please gun manufacturers who want to sell more guns.

Wow, it sure got stupid in this topic.

I was interested in hearing what exactly entails as "tougher, better background checks," but no one is explaining what that means.

Almost everyone is just flinging baby-tier logical fallacies at each other, like in every other gun "debate" on this site.


That's because none of the people talking here other than me are alt-center


Do we really need an "alt-" for every ideology now?

Also @Malcrasternus The issue comes from the fact states are free to do whatever they want for for gun control which leads to some states being fast more lax than others. The best place to start would be to invoke a federal mandatory min requirements that is above what some states are currently doing. Like for example some states don't impose waiting periods which would be easy to federally mandate.

The difference is really that other countries have a federal id that is consistent throughout the country.

The US is different in that there's no mandatory federal id and the closest we really have is the driver's license which isn't mandatory either. This allows for states to pick and choose what id to accept which means they discriminate against certain groups of people. If you really think voter id is nessicary you also need to federal government to create a mandatory federal id.

Name one state that said a state-issued photo ID wouldn't be valid to vote.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REAL_ID_Act

The law sets forth requirements for state driver's licenses and ID cards to be accepted by the federal government for "official purposes"

Problem here being the fact that elections are run by the states, not the federal government. So we still end up with a myriad of different voter ID laws or lack thereof throughout the country.


The other thing is that it's still not mandatory and many states still have switched over.

Plus the main use for it is for plane travel.

Irrelevant, had they better weapons, they would've still liked them no?


It's not about liking the weapons. Founding fathers thought of the average person as idiots which was a big reason for them making the EC. The founding fathers also wrote the constitution with the concept that it would change over time as well which is also why a lot of things are vaguely described.

But with that together, they probably would of wrote the 2nd amendment differently had there been widespread availability of deadlier guns.
