Personally, I think this entire problem would be solved if the OP would post more pics of her tits.

This is why nothing will ever get fixed in this country.
Yep. Our country is extremely divided right now. Both sides care more about winning their side than working together.
And both are to blame for it.
For the right, it's not so much about winning, but stopping the progressive leftist agenda from destroying the most successful country in the history of the world. An agenda which is unarguably supported by globalist that want to see the downfall of the American superpower. Liberals vary greatly, but they are either brainwashed, shockingly ignorant, insane, flat out evil, or a combination of the former options.
Do not take the overwhelming liberal bias in popular media, academia, and bureaucracy lightly. It is very dangerous!

His post is dead-on accurate. Liberal policies have no redeeming value in a representative republic and those that hold them are enemies of what this nation is supposed to be.

Well of course it would only be earmarked specifically for mental health. I'm not going to go down rabbit holes of "well this happened in the past, so let's not try because it'll go down a path we don't want it to"- we're playing hypotheticals of how to start solving a problem. In Texas, guns will never not be popular. But mental health care is dire, to put it mildly. Tax all gun purchases to go towards re-expansion of mental health hospitals and funding for more mental health providers.MooreTrucker said:Only if there was a guarantee that the tax would be used for that instead of being routed somewhere else. Kinda like the Tx Lottery was supposed to be for education, then ends up in the general fund because Ma Richards was a lying Dem like all the rest of them.True Anomaly said:MooreTrucker said:

I understand the correlation between gun ownership and mass murder. It makes sense since the gun is the most efficient and easiest to use, but the nations next on the list are China, Afghanistan, Russia, Iraq, etc...UMichAg said:

This is the $64,000 question, and why true gun control will never happen in the US. All you can really do is take guns away from those that have actually registered their guns. Illegally owned guns will still be out there being used to kill people. How do you track down and confiscate those?Builder93 said:
How do you control or monitor all of the guns in this country?
Yeah, we because we have a truly ridiculous number of guns in the country. More than one per person. That is insane. You're right, we cant confiscate or ban them. The cat is way too far out of the bag.MooreTrucker said:This is the $64,000 question, and why true gun control will never happen in the US.

what does the final point in your rant have to do with guns? Sounds like a symptom of bad police work. A failure of other fail safes in the bureaucracy.P.C.

But this also shows that widespread availability of guns are the problem. It's insanely easy to get your hands on a gun as a mentally unstable/evil person with intent to kill. It's not like the US has more mentally unstable people. It's that coupled with ease of access to firearms. That's why the US has a unique gun violence problem among developed nations. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial.
The Dayton killer had a hit list that the police knew about in 2012, and he still legally purchased a firearm. That is insane. And completely unacceptable.
define less frequent.P.C. Principal said:
It is absolutely a comment on bad police work, and a failure of the background check system. Same can be said about the Parkland shooter.
Yes, I think if guns were less accessible these types of shootings would not be near as frequent. I cannot state with any degree of certainty if it would have prevented El Paso or Dayton. But I also won't sit by the wayside and say "well **** happens, guess that's the price we pay for freedom" or some ****
Can you point to a source for that number? I'd like to be able to use it. A lot.Ragoo said:define less frequent.P.C. Principal said:

We have an incident rate of about 1 for every 4.5MM people. Similar to most of Europe where gun rights are severely limited.
I've heard this line over and over but don't buy it. I know those types of attacks happen but there's a reason the vast majority are committed with guns. Take any recent mass shooting and you know it wouldnt have been near as bad if they used a knife. Guns are much easier to access than bombs too. "Crazy people are crazy" is a copout and punting on the issue.aggieforester05 said:
You'd just have more bombings, stabbings, and run overs. Crazy people are going to kill regardless of access to guns. Why do you want to punish the 99.99% of gun owners who will never commit a crime with their weapon?

I dont think lawful gun owners are the problem. At all. The problem (in a nutshell) is poor mental health, hateful and evil ideologies, and easy access to powerful firearms.
someone tweeted at me a chart showing the USA possessing 89guns per 100 people compared to European countries begging with Switzerland at half the number. Then it showed the total number of mass shootings 1983-2013. 73 in the USA versus 2 in Switzerland. Similar story for Norway, Finland, etc. then did the math.MooreTrucker said:Can you point to a source for that number? I'd like to be able to use it. A lot.Ragoo said:define less frequent.P.C.

We've done a lot to combat auto collisions actually. Changed design of vehicles to lessen impact, implemented auto braking technology, harsher punishment for reckless/drunk driving, passed laws related to texting while driving, made penalties much more severe for DWIs if you have minors in the vehicle.AliasMan02 said:
The lead get buried on this issue. People focus on gun deaths to distract from the real killer in this country, which is death in auto collisions. About 3x the number of people die in car crashes than by firearm homicide, and a hugely disproportionate number of those are children.
It's time for America to demand change and set highway speed limits at 40 mph to fight this epidemic.

When we have a problem, we take steps to fix it. Even if we know we won't eliminate 100% of the deaths/injuries that result from it.

I agree with this. Any one who exhibits this kind of behavior should not be able to purchase a firearm. You forfeit your right to a weapon if you exhibit sociopath behaviors. The problem here is that it can be used as a tool of retribution. Who will do the labeling and/or diagnostics?P.C.
