The 2nd Amendment Thread
 

Felt like we could use an official thread for this. Honestly I think most Americans are in agreement that we could be doing more to prevent mass shooters from accessing weapons, but as long as the NRA is alive and well they will lead the charge against any law putting restrictions in place.

Honestly I'm worn out on this issue because shootings keep happening and pretty much nothing gets done about it. We're a gun fucking crazy country and that's not going to change.

In before "my right to quickly buy a gun is more important than kids lives in schools, shoppers in stores, concert goers at festivals, people at nightclubs, etc."

I joke, but I think even Chico agrees that a little longer waiting period and closing buying loopholes is a fair trade for less mass shootings and better background checks.

Re: The 2nd Amendment Thread
 

We have a mental health issue in this country that drives the gun issue.

I personally have no guns nor do i hunt nor do i really want a gun for any reason.

But i also believe folks who enjoy that stuff that are qualified and of good mental health should have access.

There is always a small percent of folks that ruins anything for the masses.

The message was loud and clear after Sandy Hook. Guns > kids.

Re: The 2nd Amendment Thread
 

First, we shouldn’t be compassionate to people who commit crime with guns.The country justice system should expound that deeply with locking up all folks who commit crimes with guns with the laws available on the books. We need everyone commitment on that.

If you can’t commit to that gun legislation on the books and punish people who commit these acts, why in the fuck would you add more laws if you chose not to enforce them with the same passion you say you have for the issue?

Re: The 2nd Amendment Thread
 

Are there people walking free that committed mass shootings? What are we not enforcing exactly?

The problem at Sandy Hook was a mental health issue the symptom of that problem was the death of innocent children.


Albeit you could argue if he had no guns there be less deaths but he would have found a different tool to do his work.

Most police officers will tell the most dangerous thing the public posses is a automobile. You could knock out a large number of folks with one.

We're never going to commit to expanding mental health services either so crazy + guns = mass shootings = Merica!

Sandy hook was just sickening. If you ever get a chance to read the backstory of the kid...his parents were terrible and they were like top 1% wealthy too. That’s a key thing behind so many problems, terrible fucking parents.

There are a lot of available services for mental health, especially if you live near a city or suburbs sprawl. Less rural mental health help because of funding.

Mental health still holds a strong stigma. Mental care should be part of school funding...it’s ridiculous how much the this country pisses away on education, they should divert money from their.

There is so much that could be done and none of it would be confiscating any guns!
