Ah, sorry. I realize that all black youths are 'thugs' to some of you regardless of whether or not they're in a 'street gang' as the previous poster suggested.
Right?!! We should get rid of all laws as they only stop good people from doing things and not the bad people!!
I'm all for locking down that m-f'n border, but if someone can link the shooter's gun acquisition to a weapon brought in illegally from across the border, I'll lick Chis's crack line.
That sounds like something somebody who has never legally bought a firearm would say.
100 years ago, that was surely the case. My uncle had a bathroom in his finished basement that was wallpapered with turn of the century Sears catalog prints. You could mail order a shotgun for $12. THAT was ‘no questions asked’, but nowadays?
Do you think this gun nut obtained his firearm via a legal sale? Would you be willing to bet on it?
Have schools gone to soft lighting? I hated the fluorescents, but that warm glow would put me right to sleep. Until a fight followed by a shooting broke out, of course.
There's often only a matter of hours to days between a citizen becoming a criminal, so why not make it a little harder for non-criminals to acquire a gun and maybe they won't be able to cross that line into becoming a criminal.

FYI:
We just placed my FIL in an assisted living home due to dementia. I now "own" his Sig .357, two .22s and a pretty neat Colt .25 from WW2. There's ZERO documentation of that transaction.

To me it looked like a classroom that was supposed to be unoccupied. I think the lights were off. My guess is that a few students gathered there unsupervised to settle some sort of dispute and the result was mayhem.
How are we supposed to teach the youth when their teachers spend all day on World Wide Web forums?
Already sold the others for $1200 (no documentation there either). As for the ones mentioned? Heck no. Looking forward to popp'n a few off from that .25. It was a vest gun that officers often carried.
Dumb shit post by a dumb shit poster. I knew nothing about the details for the first hour of the story. And added details as they came to light.
That makes zero sense.
If there were fewer guns, there would be less guns to be stolen or illegally purchased.
I blame that got dang rap music and rock and roll that's warping the brains of our youth.
Same way I acquired all my handguns, inherited them, undocumented...

Nah man you heard of that game Fortnite? Making kids violent fish that chug slurp.
Aside from the “but Teh seConD AmenDMent” and T&P shaming, has anyone come up with an original thought in this thread?
If it is more difficult to legally own a gun, there will be fewer guns made/sold. Which means there will be fewer guns available. Which means there will be fewer illegal guns. And eventually criminals will struggle to get guns.
It's amazing that so many other countries can manage firearms so well but people think that it won't work here for some mysterious reason.
This is dumb. Because criminals will find ways to get guns legal or otherwise we shouldn’t try anything? Not to mention that most of the school shootings in recent years involved guns legally purchased if I recall correctly.
I have never and will never, argue for outright gun confiscation. If nothing else, it would never survive court challenges. I just wish we could at least admit that we have a problem with our gun culture to begin with.
almost no other country in the world struggles with this like we do and all because too many have apparently decided there’s nothing to be done anyways.
Yup. Amazing how many countries can manage their borders as well. But an effort to strengthen border security here will get you harassed and followed into bathrooms by idiots with cameras.
Hey look - a quick distraction so as to not address the problem at hand. You'd make a fine GOP candidate!
Your entire posting history is nothing but distractions from topics at hand. Especially the first one in this thread, idiot.
I'm not saying I would be completely against this. I just don't think it would pass constitutional muster. I would guess it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment by the courts. But I 100% agree that there needs to be harsh consequences for gun violence.
One we have more people in one country, two and as you mentioned- we already have a yuge amount of guns in circulation. To me, gun buying laws are silly in this argument. They're out there already. Maybe harsher gun penalties, but the front end laws aren't really gonna have an impact imo.
The other issue, is that genie isn't going back in the bottle. We can't round up the guns.
No idea, but I do find the general repetitive arguments around this type of situation annoying. (not referring to you)
Totally pro death. Pro abortion and I am for it being retroactive. Edit to say only when the person is 100% guilty with no chance of being the wrong individual. It has to be cut and dry guilty.
Here's the thing - the GOP doesn't care. They only care that poor people are forced to give birth, they don't give a shit what happens to the kids after that.
Ah, the old give up, it's too late argument. I guess that's ok if you don't currently have kids in school.
