Victim Disarmament Zones and Ideas to Prevent Mass Shootings

[That Guy]

well, australia passed gun legistlation (the conservatives lead the charge) after one of these types of things and hasn't had a mass shooting since. smaller country, more cooperative government etc.

and i wasn't really debating anything. i'd rather not get sucked in. i just mentioned that the ATF doesn't work thanks to government interference on the NRA's behalf, which IS significantly increasing gun deaths in this country by allowing bad players the ability to continually sell guns to people they know are using or reselling them specifically for street violence.

and that as long as gun shows don't require checks, then there really aren't any controls in place at all (and if you think a place where there are hundreds of buyers and hundreds of sellers with thousands of guns meeting for the express purpose of exchanging them for money should be classified as a "private sale," well, um... that's seems stupifying to me).

this guy passed a background check though, even with his problems with reality (the microwave is sending vibrations through me!) and 2 prior shooting incidents (shot the tires out from someone else's car and something else), so those checks obviously don't work anyways.

I mean, if you think giving guns to the mentally unstable and people who continue to shoot at other people or their stuff in anger, that's cool i guess, but it seems ridiculous to me.

again, there's plenty of threads here already, and arguing in them has proven to be pretty pointless.

as far as your last line, you can make that non-argument about anything "I'm just saying neo-nazis are here to stay: so how do we live in a world with neo-nazis?

easy, continue to advocate for sanity. if you keep bashing your head into a wall, sooner or later the wall will give way :P

(also, how would background checks suppress the poor? why do they need guns more than other people? what's the current and proposed future ownership among the poor when you start denying guns to the mentality unstable or those with a history of angry rage induced shooting incidents?)

if we're just going to be completely dismissive, then we might as well not bother.
