That’s a very liberal use of the word impacted but regardless, I didn’t use qualifiers in my question.

Or pass ineffective legislation with no societal benefit, so we all "feel better."

Hey I'm for passing real meaningful legislation.

But that will never happen.

I just get a kick out of the "it's pointless to pass a law if it doesn't stop the intended activity 100%" logic.

He's talking about Repealing the 2nd amendment. It better make some real damn meaningful changes to do that because there's no going back.

Agreed. Once the Constitution is changed it can never be changed again.

Agreed. I personally liked Darkside’s thread about logical gun control laws.

However, I dislike meaningless crap that makes people feel good. For example, banning bump stocks. They should be banned, but that doesn’t solve a damn thing. It just sounds good.

Although I support various causes, I always go for those that are “trying to find a cure” versus those that are “raising awareness.”

A close relative of the "Yeah but 10x the amount of people are dying from 'A' so why are we even bothering with 'B' huh?"

WHERE'S THE CALL FOR CHEESEBURGER CONTROL FOR FAT PEOPLE??!!

Yeah Darko's post was great.

Unfortunately even that seems to be a bridge too far for MANY gun people.

Most of the people screaming about gun control do not have any idea what the current laws are.

Nice link.

Here is a thought more people are shot in an average Chicago weekend than are shot in a school shooting and there are only on average 5-6 a year.

That's just a stupid comment from someone trying to sound clever. If the 2nd amendment is abolished, we aren't ever going to vote it back in, even if we technically could.

But you know that.

It’s a moot discussion. The 2nd amendment isn’t going anywhere. It’s just rick fantasizing.

Yep.

Agreed, nothing has ever been outlawed by the Constitution and then legalized again.

If anyone thinks the 2nd Amendment is going to be abolished, they are out of their mind.

If anybody thinks that discussion of actual repeal of the Second is anything more than excuse to get people like Chas and Juice riled up please stop voting.

Agreed.

It's a shame what you have to resort to when talking to SOMEGUYS about gun control.

That Mcnown character said something clever once, too. Doesn't mean it's likely to happen again.

Agree. It's all hypothetical.

Have to love the armed cop on scene stood outside and refused to confront the shooter.


Deputy at Florida high school where 17 were killed 'never went in,' resigns
Justin Boggs

The Broward County Sheriff's deputy who was assigned to be the school resource officer at Stoneman Douglas High School during last week's massacre that left 17 dead resigned this morning after being suspended without pay, Sheriff Scott Israel announced on Thursday.

Israel said that Deputy Scott Peterson was outside of the building during the time of the shooting. According to Israel, video evidence suggested that Peterson remained outside for four minutes. The entire mass shooting lasted an estimated six minutes, Israel said.

"Scott Peterson was absolutely on campus through this entire event," Israel said. "He was armed, he was in uniform. After seeing video, witness statements, and Scott Peterson's very own statement, I decided this morning to suspend Scott Peterson without pay pending an internal investigation. As is his right, Scott Peterson chose to resign."

Israel claimed that Peterson "clearly" knew there was a shooting, and was seen doing "nothing" on video. Israel added that there were no known issues with communication.

Peterson will be eligible for retirement following his resignation.

If that kid was unarmed and black the cop would've confronted him and possibly shot him.

Well if he was black it would fit the statistics

Nobody thinks the right to own weapons for protection hunting etc are going anywhere. Find a new straw man.

This is the problem with “I get why he shot first and asked questions later, he just wanted to make it home safely”. The flip side is when in actual danger, many of these guys are fucking cowards and you can apply the same logic.
