So demonstrating sympathy over people killed by firearms and expressing frustration towards those who will do nothing about it reflects a “slow castration” of society? So how do we reverse the castration? Cheer on more deaths? I’m really struggling to see why Shawn142’s post warranted a personal attack.
I see your point, but at the same time I don't think that being elected exempts anyone from abiding by rule, laws, etc. Holding someone accountable isn't negating the election results, especially if the accountability is upheld consistently and without regard to party affiliation.
If this were a protest outside the chambers, then I'd agree with you completely. Inside the chambers is a different story.
Bunch dead a Louisville ky bank . Just another day
Mass shooting in Louisville, Kentucky today. Made it 14 days from the Nashville mass shooting to this one. We can expect another in about the same time period. So far in this one, 5 dead and 6 wounded.
I’m an emasculated person too, because I think firearms should be much more difficult to get than what they are, and I care about every life lost due to gun violence. It’s insane people think that’s just normal and a cost of the 2nd Amendment.

Yeah probably. Still isnt the fault of guns. You can make a chlorine bomb in 15 minutes at home depot or stab people or hit them with your car, it goes on. You haven't addressed the why behind any of this. It's all emotionalism. It's brutal and sad and I hate it but disarming yourself or someone else is really not going to do much good. You need to clear your emotions and think logically before making serious decisions. Many of you cannot do this.
Yet, of all those methods you mentioned, it’s a firearm used for mass murders 99% of the time. Why is that?
The why? Yeah mental health. Obviously. Something else a certain party always votes against funding. Is the USA the only country with people who have mental health problems?
Clear my head and think logically? I am. I always have. People on the right who won’t budge an inch on the 2A just say that it’s an emotional plea after a mass shooting. But if we wait a week or two to prove we are thinking clearly and not with our emotions, there’s another mass shooting that occurs, and the cycle repeats.
The best time for action was long ago. The second best time is right now.
How many of our recent shooters had guns due to others not utilizing nor enforcing gun laws that are already on the books?
So you believe that's what was happening, demonstrating sympathy for those murdered ??
You poor misinformed soul.
I believe both shooters in Nashville and Uvalde acquired their guns legally. Can’t really speak for the overall percentages.
We’re armed to the teeth and protected by an amendment that was written in a very different world, with very different weapons. I’m not sure if we can “fix” the problem, but simply pointing to the 2nd amendment as a reason to do nothing has run its course. We need tighter controls and maybe some basic licensing requirements. And guns should be categorized, not a “one size fits all” approach.
New drivers require extensive training before they are allowed sole control of a vehicle. Yet almost anyone over 18 can stroll into a gun store any purchase almost any weapon? Does that really make sense? The 2nd amendment hangs its hat on warding off enemies, foreign and domestic. Yet it’s simultaneously creating the war it seeks to prevent.
Maybe. But Shawn made a general observation, and you made it personal. Don’t open that door…
Gun owners aren't budging on 2A for a very simple reason.
We have existing laws and aren't fully enforcing them !
Factor in liberal policies that allow criminals to plead down gun crimes we now have inconsistently applied gun laws with less bite.
You would be surprised that many 2A people would "budge" and support things like more strict back ground checks, longer waiting periods etc but don't trust the government (politicians) to do it right.
The amount of crimes in the news where the criminal had extensive priors and-or free on bond is as absurd as the level of mass shootings.
You want my support for more gun legislation?
Then pluck the low hanging fruit and actually enforce the existing laws for a few years and we can talk about it.
Well the FBI gave all the stuff to the uvalde kid so theres that.
It’s funny you say that. I have seen multiple red states say they’ll refuse to enforce any federal gun laws. The one I know most about is linked below. I know about it more because it’s my home state. It was a big deal around here recently. I have seen other reports as well in other states. Think about it for a second. The blue states, the ones pushing for gun control, are obviously going to enforce them. The red ones who aren’t, won’t. Think of it as a different issue. Like immigration. The red states who agreed with Trump’s policies with immigrants followed through with what Trump (the federal government) wanted. The blue states who didn’t agree with it, didn’t. Sanctuary cities remember?
I agree the plead out system sucks. It’s always been a part of our justice system. If we had red flag laws in place that also caught the cases that were pleaded down, that would be a great thing. Just because you admitted to it and got the charges dropped doesn’t mean you’re an upstanding citizen who should be able to freely purchase a firearm.
There’s a middle ground here we can strive for and achieve. We have to make it happen ASAP.

How is that any different than blue states completely ignoring federal cannabis laws?
I literally made an analogy of a blue state ignoring a federal law in the post you quoted.
Let’s use this weed example though. Let’s say weed is the primary reason for mass murders and violent crime. Primary reason as in it’s the thing always used to commit these atrocities. The Republicans push for stricter control nationwide of weed. When they control the federal government, and have enough Democratic support, they do pass some laws that aim to restrict the amount of horrible people that can get their hands on weed. Democratic led state governments then say nope we aren’t going to enforce that law. We believe it is unconstitutional. Then, when the debate over weed comes up, those same Democrats say, “Well we already have laws on the books that aren’t being enforced. Why not enforce those!?” Yet it’s them who isn’t enforcing those laws.
That’s what I’m saying. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t sit here and say that laws aren’t being enforced, so we don’t need more laws, only enforce the ones on the books. But then also be the ones who aren’t enforcing the laws because you feel they’re unconstitutional. That makes no sense whatsoever.
I don’t mean you as in literally you by the way. Just how a lot of people see it and how multiple politicians frame it. Can’t have it both ways.
Nice try but no.
I was unaware of the Missouri example but that's one failed situation by Republicans not wanting to follow a federal law and a judge over ruled it.
You know what's happening every day it every state?
Liberal DA's and judges being soft on crime to the detriment of all Americans especially people of color.
Being "easy" on violent bad dudes out of a want to have compassion or empathy is not working.
I see it every day in New Orleans when I open the paper.
When I read an article about a 25 year old with a violent rap sheet a mile long i'm pretty sure all those extra chances he got aren't working.
You speak of wanting common ground with regard to gun laws?
The common ground starting point is imposing consequences (enforce existing laws) and go from there.
"Somebody" spared no expense shipping in a bunch of protesters from far and wide to cause a, made for cable news, rukus.
Now who do we know who continues to throw unlimited funds anywhere there's a chance for civil unrest ??

Hey downvote clan.
We voted our representatives into office who supported our 1st and 2nd amendment rights.
And, we damn sure don't want tranny's bitchin' and moanin' about their percieved discrimination woes either.
(Because that's what got this whole thing started, before it turned into another boring anti gun "peaceful protest")
Cherokee lake or town?
If I was looking to kill bunch people and you gun controllers have controlled them all I'm gonna jump in my car and run it right thru the door and down the hall ,or across the playground.
How you stop that?
Pit Row
Hey, they get to play the White House .
the democrats have a plan already being implemented to control car rampages,
first, make them unaffordable for the masses.
in about 6 years new cars will be required to have impaired driving detection systems. it will be a simple software update to have it monitor vital signs like blood pressure etc. and if it senses anger it will simply disable the car.
pre 2030 cars will become the new ar 15s
You mean the white woman
You must have a horrible existence.
Tennessee Republican State Representative Scotty Campbell has resigned after being found guilty of sexually harassing interns. He voted to expel the Democratic Representatives who joined the gun control protest. Sounds like he had his priorities in perfect order!
