walksalone Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Gun Control, get the illegal guns and the guns that are owned by criminals and those with violent criminal backgrounds first. Dont' bother your average joe and berate him because he is a gun owner... 1 Link to comment
strigori Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I am all for waiting periods for background checks. If you feel you absolutely need a gun right now, you absolutely do not. Felons and the mentally ill have no rights to weapons of any kind. I would be all for having a police officer at schools, but like others have said getting the funding for it would be next to impossible. School funding is the first thing that gets cut every time a state comes in to 'cut spending.' Health care and education are things we should not be cutting, but better funding to better set our society up for the future. Link to comment

Do I seem like a threatening person? Link to comment

Sure, it might sound harsh, but by definition the mentally ill are not in a position to clearly make life altering decisions. Gun Control, get the illegal guns and the guns that are owned by criminals and those with violent criminal backgrounds first. Dont' bother your average joe and berate him because he is a gun owner... Great policy. And you would define an 'average joe' how? No criminal record and no mental illness. Very simple. Link to comment
teachercd Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Blind people can't drive...are you saying that they should have that right? Now, I suppose that is not in the Constitution but, I think you get the point. Come on, let us all hit the common sense button here for a moment. Link to comment

So you're just going to blanket everyone with any form of mental illness and say they cannot own a firearm? I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to kill anyone. I'm more cautious about sh#t than anyone I know and I feel terrible if I run over a squirrel with my car. I should have the right to protect my family, no? Link to comment

Should we not impose an age limit as well? Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Tighten and change background checks. I read somewhere that it is easier to buy a gun than adopt a pet. Link to comment

How about we give out free condoms to f'ing idiots so they don't reproduce. I'm all about solving the root cause instead of adding Band-Aids. Link to comment

And any of this would of stopped the massacre in Newtown how? He tried to buy a gun and was stopped, by current laws. If I read it correctly he murdered his mother and took her lawfully purchased guns. Please explain how anything you are talking about would of helped. Link to comment
