A couple of quick questions. I would ask that you don’t cherry pick. Please take a crack at several or all of them. “I don’t know” is an acceptable reply. It would also be great if we refrained from the “gotcha” games we usually play. Let’s look for solutions here, shall we? Thanks!
Is there any evidence that expanded background checks will do anything? How many gun crimes have you heard of that would have been prevented through a better background check? Are the goons in the hood passing current background checks?
Pistols are what is killing nearly all inner city blacks. AR-15’s are mostly nowhere to be found. Why should the focus be on weapons used in such a tiny percentage of shootings? How do we have a real impact?
Are there any failing liberal policies in the inner cities that need to be addressed?
What gun control policies should be enacted that respect the 2nd amendment and will have an actual impact?
Are we enforcing current gun laws effectivity? Or are we sending the offenders back to the hood to soon to victimize again?
President Joe Biden will outline several actions on Wednesday that his administration is taking to curb the recent rise in violent crime and gun violence, ahead of a summer that experts worry could be especially deadly.
Among them are tougher enforcement policies for federal gun control laws and new guidelines to help cities and states make better use of federal Covid relief funding to combat gun violence, including by hiring police officers.
Your thread references Biden’s proposed violent crime plan. I provided background information on said plan for those interested. A “Thanks” would have sufficed.
But I did ask YOUR opinion on several specific questions. Would you be so kind as to offer YOUR opinion on a few of them? I didn’t ask for Biden’s opinion, I can get that from Jen. Thank’s in advance.
You look at the gun crimes commited by legal firearm buyers. Then you establish what was missed in the background checks that led to the crime. This is probably already compiled by the FBI. The answer is no doubt already available.
Hint: Legal gun owners are among the most peaceful people in the world.
Thank you. Remember when I asked that we don’t turn this into a game of gotcha? With that, I await your opinion on some of the questions I posed. Thanks in advance!
Don’t be rude. You don’t get to totally ignore all the original questions and substitute one of your own first. I will reply after you give your opinion on one of the thread questions.
