What are your views?, do you think we need better and longer background checks?, or what in your estimation would solve the many mass killings here in our united states?

Even with the most severe gun laws, guns will still be leaked into the market, people will still be killed, money will still be made from weapons. Its a very lucrative business aint no stopping it

you mean,how to better disarm and get Lawabiding Citizens killed?
Are you for real?
You really think that Criminals will buy where they have to undergo a background-check?

how about more extensive background checks on politicians and a ban on all progressive liberalism

Please let those Victims get buried before you start talking about something you apparently do not know much about!

Smoke them political biitches in a driveby

The problem of mass killings isn't due to any single cause. So one "solution" wont "fix" everything.

On the other hand, deciding to do nothing at all, on the grounds that someone will try to find a work around, is incredibly stupid. No other way to put it.

"Lets do NOTHING AT ALL to defend against terrorists using our own freedoms to kill us," isn't exactly a brainy or honorable way to go.

Longer background checks? Why? What are you trying to address by that?

I think the way to go, is to pattern a solution after organizations such as the NTSB. They don't sit down and make ONE rule, and expect that to prevent any and all plane accidents and they don't decide that we have to accept a certain amount of innocent death, in order to protect the right of the airlines to treat safety as an unpleasant expense to be avoided where possible.

Instead, they examine each accident, and try to find an logical, specific and effective change to make, in order to prevent a re-occurrence.

The guy who killed all those people in Florida, had been investigated twice by the FBI for suspected terrorist planning, and was already on the do-not-fly list. It seems logical to proceed then, as has been suggested before, to declare that people who have been so noticed and logged, should NOT be allowed as many freedoms as everyone else. Yet he was allowed to buy the weapons he used, just two days before he used them.

But that wont fix things like the guy who shot the singer over the weekend. An entirely different and specific change needs to be made for nuts like him, again, which is specifically designed to help us keep those kinds of people from gaining weapons of any kind.

Solving mass shootings wasn't possible in France with extremely strict gun regulations. It wasn't prevented in California with some of the most restricting gun laws.

IMO instead of having more regulations getting rid of some regulations might work. How about if the regulations restricting where law abiding people can be armed were eliminated? That would get rid of the KNOWN "soft targets" where terrorists, no matter what their motivation is, carry out their carnage.

How many times has a gun show been the site of a mass shooting?
How many times has a gun store been the site of a mass shooting?

The cowards, which includes self proclaimed martyrs, who carry out mass shootings don't choose places with people who are able, or MIGHT be able, to protect themselves.

I don't have a solution. There should be a better back round check for people that have used guns in a crime.

yep I think we should hand em out

to every one

like a driver's license

if every one walking down the street

had a concealed carry


cut right down on the crime

you cant do anything really
if a madman wants to kill innocent people , they will find a way
killers dont need guns to kill people
Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer
9-11 terrorists used box cutters and plans
the Nazis used cyanide gas
taking guns from innocent people will not protect innocent people
the problem is not guns
(just read that on facebook)

<shrug>
as per you Que , i have no idea
people change so what ever test you come up with that they could pass today does not mean they are the same person tomorrow

but i have noticed that all most all these attacks are done in gun free zones
<shrug>

[sigh] None of the people who chatter about the wonders of pure gun freedom, remember the reason WHY no one is allowed to carry guns on planes anymore, and why the 9-11 hijackers used knives.

Before the gun restrictions, armed people were hijacking a plane a week. 9-11 showed us that just keeping guns off, wasn't enough.

Even when gun freedom was more open, life wasn't fabulous and free. People were shooting each other in the streets, and innocents were being caught in the crossfire all the time.

Yes. Once every ten thousand times or so, a gun owner who isn't a criminal, happens to be at the right place at the right time, to take down a really bad guy, and save lives, and that's a wonderful thing.

But the idea that arming everyone would lead to peace on Earth, has already been proven a lie, countless times.

In YOUR mind perhaps...

The opposite of your statement is more true than not. The majority of cities with extensive gun control laws have the highest incidents of gun crimes. Murder, drive by shootings, robberies, occur more frequently in cities like LA, NYC, Chicago, Washington, D.C..

My belief is best described by author Robert A. Heinlein - An armed society is a polite society.

Good advice for Hillary....

"“We did have an assault weapons ban for 10 years, and I think it should be reinstated,” she said."

....and Blind Harry Reid?

""Reid: We will force gun control vote''

Neither is "Let's do ANYTHING....."


Wasn't he taken OFF the watch list AFTER he was cleared twice by the FBI? No Matter....do you want laws that prohibit rights of those not convicted of crimes? OK... "Hey FBI, IgorFrankensteen called me a doo doo head....put him on the list please."

I don't think this post will fix anything. I'm a member of the NRA. Our politicians have no clue. The FBI is in a tough spot because the USGOV is not only asking them to prevent these actions, but to predict WHO will be the next home grown radical Islamit to buy a gun. I can see why Trump wants to stop allowing Imigrants from these Islamic states. We need to get a handle on the ones we have. My fear is that Trump will do a lock down on Muslim Americans like on that Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis movie. Good movie to watch because it was pre 911 movie, but relevant to today's cray cray.
