There is no way to stop mass shootings in this country! [View all] Logical May 2014 OP

Exactly right customerserviceguy May 2014 #1

Gun control is a losing issue for Democrats. Laelth May 2014 #2

Sounds like gun control would be a winning policy, then muriel_volestrangler May 2014 #88

I'll have to think about that one for a bit. n/t Laelth May 2014 #97

Yep, short of repealing the 2nd and 4th Amendments, guns are here to stay. LAGC May 2014 #3

"Except maybe work on why people want to do mass shootings and stop that." redqueen May 2014 #4

that is just plain wrong dsc May 2014 #71

Then explain why it doesn't happen in Canada. redqueen May 2014 #72

because Canada doesn't let its people own arsenals dsc May 2014 #73

Well I would definitely agree with implementing their system here. redqueen May 2014 #75

Canada doesn't register all guns. NutmegYankee May 2014 #85

They don't have more guns per person either muriel_volestrangler May 2014 #90

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say in my post #79, but you RKP5637 May 2014 #81

Every human made problem has multiple human contrived solutions LanternWaste May 2014 #5

Well, I would love to hear one realistic idea. Before we try something that loses votes. Nt Logical May 2014 #6

I understand the sentiment-- we like to pretend that we're clever enough LanternWaste May 2014 #17

Clearly the best solution here is tougher background checks 951-Riverside May 2014 #7

The CA shooter passed "tougher" CA background checks, several times. N/T beevul May 2014 #40

Then we need more stringent and even more... thorough background checks and... 951-Riverside May 2014 #50

How about mandatory mental health evals before getting a drivers or gun licens-nt Anansi1171 May 2014 #91

Finally.. H. Cromwell May 2014 #8

And empower the NRA more. nt Logical May 2014 #9

Maybe all you folks who are so sanguine about mass shootings (no pun intended) stranger81 May 2014 #10

Typical no solution emotional pits. Adding nothing to the discussion! nt Logical May 2014 #12

Right. Dead kids add nothing to the discussion. Let's keep talking about more gunz. stranger81 May 2014 #13

Your solution to stopping it? A realistic one? nt Logical May 2014 #15

Regulate the g-d guns, like every other first-world country does. stranger81 May 2014 #28

A mass murderer would still mass murder in your plan. nt Logical May 2014 #29

Maybe, maybe not. It obviously wouldn't stop everyone, but it would certainly make it harder. stranger81 May 2014 #32

Of course it does..... Logical May 2014 #39

I agree that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to completely eliminate the problem. stranger81 May 2014 #42

One other thing I should have added that I think is very important, stranger81 May 2014 #44

Great points.....I agree on the mental health aspect.... Logical May 2014 #45

Then please explain why we hear about so few mass murders in Australia, Japan, Britain, etc Hugabear May 2014 #76

We have to wait for evolution to solve this one, gun advocates are immature randys1 May 2014 #54

DAMN THOSE PEOPLE GETTING IN THE WAY OF THE BULLETS!!! MohRokTah May 2014 #11

Another worthless post that adds nothing to the duiscussion! nt Logical May 2014 #14

It was made in direct response to a worthless OP that adds nothing to the discussion. eom MohRokTah May 2014 #16

Really? What analysis do you disagree with? nt Logical May 2014 #18

Really? The complete lack of aalysis is what threw me off. eom MohRokTah May 2014 #19

What is your solution? Crickets? nt Logical May 2014 #21

Replace Scalia, Alito, Roberts, Thomas, or Kennedy. MohRokTah May 2014 #23

Ban guns? Please post a poll on this forum, see if the majority of dems..... Logical May 2014 #24

Who said anything about banning guns? MohRokTah May 2014 #25

That means you require gun registration, once again, even dems do not.... Logical May 2014 #27

It's the constitution MohRokTah May 2014 #34

That is your interpretation. nt Logical May 2014 #35

All I need is a bout one more Associate Justice who would be open to that interpretation MohRokTah May 2014 #38

I hope you are right. "Well regulated" has been debated forever. But remember.... Logical May 2014 #41

Ah, but most nuts will be easily weeded out. MohRokTah May 2014 #43

Even the Stevens and Breyer's dissenting opinions in Heller Calista241 May 2014 #70

The Democratic party platform says that the 2A protects an individual right to keep and bear arms hack89 May 2014 #51

My proposal is independent of the party MohRokTah May 2014 #53

No, it is not that easy hack89 May 2014 #55

Yes it is that easy. MohRokTah May 2014 #56

Ban teh GUNZ!!!!11!11 aikoaiko May 2014 #20

like your summary points, don't like your thread title. maggiesfarmer May 2014 #22

Maybe that was incorrect. maybe there is a long term solution, I see.... Logical May 2014 #26

that's very fair. You'll notice I didn't have one to offer ;) maggiesfarmer May 2014 #30

Long term is a good possibility. A million more guns sold every month.... Logical May 2014 #37

Gun sales have been on the decline recently MohRokTah May 2014 #52

My idea is to make gun ownership a anti social upaloopa May 2014 #31

This. Look at that sociopath Joe the Plumber treestar May 2014 #77

Yes there is! Make ammo costs 5000 dollars a bullet. Rex May 2014 #36

Unconstitutional. That is why it is good comedy and not good legal advice. nt hack89 May 2014 #59

I was joking, they need to be more like 12k a piece. Rex May 2014 #61

Back door attempts to ban the use of guns are unconstitutional. hack89 May 2014 #67

But that is not banning the use of guns, just making it hard to afford the bullets. Rex May 2014 #80

It is settled law hack89 May 2014 #82

Oh I see you are done here, nice way to fail and run away. Rex May 2014 #83

It is not like we don't have the identical conversation every four months hack89 May 2014 #86

If it was unconstitutional then guns and bullets would be tax free, felons could legally own them... 951-Riverside May 2014 #63

Taxes are legal. Poll taxes ie defacto bans are illegal hack89 May 2014 #66

Somehow I don't think allowing only the 1% to own guns is a very progressive idea. EX500rider May 2014 #68

When the people of this country avebury May 2014 #46

Sadly, I think that's true. Crunchy Frog May 2014 #48

Why should we be expected to "get used to it?" Why should we be expected to shut up and Skidmore May 2014 #65

I'm certainly not shutting up, and don't think anyone else should either. Crunchy Frog May 2014 #96

There are huge cultural barriers unique to America in our way... Orsino May 2014 #60

Whether deliberately or accidental, I think you are confusing "politically viable" with "desirable". Donald Ian Rankin May 2014 #64
