The funny part is that they'll try introducing laws making gun laws stronger (mental health checks, annual registration of guns, etc). Instead, pro 2a will cry foul that they are making it harder to get guns.

Folks, it's clear the enemy here is pro 2a folks. Unpopular opinion, but when we try to save our children, they act like big babies about their guns....

Maybe not this guy, but the assault weapon ban helped a lot. The numbers went down. Plus, a lot of shooters these days are inspired by the nonstop political rhetoric about guns and libs and revolution etc.

most mass shootings aren't carried out with rifles so I find your claim a little hard to believe...

Yeah. The most jailed country in the history of the world doesn’t enforce its laws.

But that's not what they are saying.

If the laws were enforced here, the shooter would not have had a gun.

Which is moronic because those same people have made it impossible to restrict guns to only “law abiding” people.

They already have mental health prohibitions on gun purchases, and what does annual gun registration even mean and how will that prevent a prohibited possessor from committing murder?

Sorry, a question on an application isn't working.....

Same way you register a car. You register your gun...

Imagine if these safeguards were in place in texas....

Gang members, drug dealers, and criminals won’t register their guns bro. You’re insane if you think they will lmao

You didn’t answer the question. Same way registration doesn’t stop someone from speeding, driving while drunk, or committing vehicular manslaughter.

You’re proposing disqualifiers that are already in place but still don’t stop these kinds of criminals so again, how would registration prevent this?

The event in Texas could’ve been prevented by a locked door amongst other things so…

A 18yr old, on his 18th birthday, brought a gun and shot up a school.

You're the problem here.....

I can't help your little brain. Good night

Oh great, insults during a discussion over an issue. That’ll get me to see your point. /s

Yes, an 18 year old legally bought a rifle (and also went through the same federal background check that every legal firearm purchase has to go through in the US) WHICH WAS REGISTERED TO HIM! So how would that “safeguard” that was already in place have prevented him from going ape and committing murder?

Yet I’m the problem here? I didn’t commit murder. But thank you for proving to everyone that instead looking at the situation objectively, you prefer to let your emotions, rather than logic, govern your response. I’m the problem? What have you done to protect anyone from gun violence outside of complain on reddit about something you obviously know nothing of?

You could be mentally healthy and shitty about locking up your gun or not recognize your kid who you shoot with has problems. I just think the gun lobby wants to pawn this off on mental illness.

what law do you propose that would have stopped this, in your expert opinion?

Just about every law that was proposed that was rejected by pro 2a folks and GOP.....
