And then when there's a fire and kids are killed, have two doors...... Or even three
Keep that same energy if it happens to your family
Obama clobbered for linking Uvalde massacre to two-year mark of George Floyd's murder
Wow he learned nothing at school
What the heck
Do you think parents care what happened to Floyd tonight ?
As if these kinds of murders only happen at schools and not also at church, movie theaters, Wal-Mart etc.
But let’s not kid ourselves, Ted isn’t looking for answers. He’s just trying to run out the clock…. to buy time for outrage to die down and for people to move on until the next senseless tragedy strikes.
What else would you expect?
what are carry laws in the US?
I know about open, concealed carry and that it varies state to state, but do they also limit how many guns and in what firing condition?
Here you can only carry one unloaded gun, and you have to register where your safes are, you cant have your unloaded gun in another city if you dont have a safe registered there (a friend got busted for this, just from having his gun loaded in his backpack during a motorcycle accident- fine and licence and weapon impounded for 2 years), which is probably too much to ask from the US, but just limiting the number of guns you can carry makes it easier for cops to enforce private sales. I wonder what enthusiasts prefer, ban private sales outright or put more limits on how you can carry?
I think the insurance angle has the most potential, but I think it might be better still as a tax that is used to fund mental health surveillance at schools and with gun owners, plus like a sort of VA for victims... and maybe its more important to tax the ammo than the guns themselves, people here hunt and Im not familiar enough to know what specific ammo they use but Im sure the ammo selection here is much more limited and less powerful, either by laws or market forces, that could also be an effective way to reduce the danger of these shootings. Of course, "enthusiasts" will hate these ideas but they work in other places. And you can still go to a range or on a safari and use your fancy stuff there..
1. The military already conducts mental health screening
2. Not sure what your character means there.
3. Why 30 days? If you could go back in time and change the 5 days to 30 right before the purchase, sure, because the plan was made for a 5 day wait. In our current time line, you have to assume the shooter is aware of the wait and is OK with it, or they get a gun elsewhere.
4. You can ban all day. Without traceability via national registry, you cannot tie a firearm to a firearm owner once the 1st p2p sale happens ergo you cannot enforce or prosecute. This was part of the FOPA.
5. If you want it in a law it matters. This is why ARs continued to be sold in California even after the assault weapons ban. The manufacturer used the lack of understanding of terminology by the legislators and just changed some features, and just like they they no longer classified as being the same weapon the law referred to. However, how long does it take to rerack a magazine? The 10 round suggestion didn't work before. Would you destroy existing stock of high cap magazines and how would you enforce the confiscation of existing high cap mags? This is what stymied this same attempt last time, ample supply of high cap mags that just increased in price, now everyone owns several in case it ever happens again.
6.weird character again
7. Define "limited". For .223/5.56 a box is 20 rounds.
8. Weird character again
9. But you're not 18 when you fulfill your service requirements. You'd be 22. Why not raise the age of eligibility to 21. Wouldn't that make more sense? Again, why is an 18 year old more mature because they agreed to join the military?
1. Doesn't do to me. Hurts the migrant family who wants self protection, or the poor folks in higher crime areas who want protection.
2. Unrealistic "stick it to them" solution destined to be laughed at when suggested to congress, assuming it ever made it past your own rep.
3. character again
4. & 5. There's a law against a federal firearm registry. 18 U.S. Code § 926
6. There's nothing dangerous about kevlar armor. Cops die every day while wearing it.
“The officers immediately advanced toward the gunfire and within approximately 20 seconds, they engaged the suspect, who was actively firing and attempting to enter a crowded liquor establishment,” the police chief said.
“The threat was neutralized at approximately 30 seconds of the suspect firing his first shot,” Biehl said.
Yeah that body armor... impossible to stop that guy.
Your suggestions are emotional drivel with almost zero realistic considerations and absolutely no understanding of current laws or of the firearms they cover. This is why your suggestions will be dismissed as just rantings.
At the end of the day, Border Patrol couldn't defeat a locked door until school staff brought a key and opened it for them. Other LE apparently didn't even try, but they did keep local good guys away from the scene.
Unloaded guns might as well be paper weights. They are worthless. The CHL does not restrict number of guns and you are not required to carry concealed. It is only required if you want to carry concealed while open carry doesn't require a CHL (in many states).
Second Amendment enthusiasts
Sounds like a good door.
All soft targets. If ever hit the fan IRL, many here would die in the 1st 30 minutes.
while the police wait outside for assistance, since they have no duty to protect.

(BTW, the honest conversation is appreciated, despite obvious disagreements)
You just want to ruin the fun of shredding a squirrel with a AR-15... would somebody think of the hunters, please?
30-40 minutes, some say, but still.
what pussios.
Apparently Uvalde SWAT waited for BORTAC to do their job for them, or couldn't muster quickly enough to do any good.
Federal government good now, I guess.
