FACT: The shooter should have been denied the right to buy a firearm, but
the military never completed the paperwork to the NCIC.
FACT: This is the
biggest 'loophole' of all, that
nearly half of the mass shooters have falling through.
FACT: Enforce the existing laws, including ensuring paperwork is correct, and we
cut these in half overnight.
If you make zero common sense gun laws for the nation, you get zero results or increased gun deaths.
Define "common sense gun laws"?
Every time someone starts talking about those -- in detail -- even Canadians and Europeans cringe at some of the 'arguments.'
Like 'assault weapons' which includes a lot of legal firearms in Canada and Europe.
He used a 45 ACP, with an illegal magazine, among other things.
Illegal, illegal and ... oh yeah, more illegal ... which laws didn't do anything to stop.
Revolvers and shotguns are pretty effective too, as were the 'pistol' 9mm weapons in Columbine.
If you implement a system like japan
You mean a country with 3x as many suicides? With violence that takes other forms? It's a culture thing more than anything.
What's more likely to happen is the Philippines, which has similar organized crime and drug-related violence, to the US. I.e., the US is more like the Philippines, crime-wise, than Europe -- let alone Japan.
And ... again ... he should have been
denied the right to even purchase his 45.
or a good common sense gun control plan and there is a 30% to 60% reduction in mass killings.....
But are "mass killings" the mainstay of gun crime?
Everyone quotes Australia, but doesn't want to talk about how home invasions have gone up since '96, and the gun homicide rate remains unchanged, a slow, steady decline since the '70s -- like all western nations.
that is better than doing nothing (like the terrorist group called the NRA wants to do).
Forget the NRA for a moment ...
What about the USCCA?
What about the NSSF?
Are you against them too?
Are they 'terrorist groups' as well?
HINT: The USCCA has had more pro-gun laws passed the past decade, than the NRA, by a wide margin -- including the ones the US media blames the NRA for, but they were started by the USCCA. The USCCA were also the first ones with "liability insurance." The NSSF is building a number of legal cases, and may actually look to criminal charges over torts and other, illegal activities by companies, even governments.
Stop supporting illegal activities that are now even state sanctioned (I'm looking at you New York), and
start focusing on enforcing existing laws. The
answer is not to illegally and wrongfully bankrupt gun companies, and even Bernie Sanders points that out.
