Do You Think This Country Still Supports the 2nd Amendment?

Didn’t they refuse the clear backpacks?

I can see you’re no big fan of freedom either.

This is the biggest straw man of all time. Guns=freedom

When there are people claiming that because their opposition is unwilling to accept their proposals, they are going to push for a full ban, it’s blatantly obvious that their motivation has nothing to do with saving lives or providing greater security…it’s all about getting their way. So no, there is no understanding, there isn’t even rational thought. It’s simply “I want this and I don’t care what the results are”.

Sorry but kids understand that the status quo is getting them killed and must be changed.

“The kids” who organized protests after Parkland demanded that “assault weapons” be banned; that universal background checks be implemented; that guns be confiscated from anyone exhibiting violent behavior; and that the minimum age to buy any gun be raised to 21. If all of those things had been enacted into law prior to this last school shooting, would the tragedy been prevented?

What do they want?

A gun ban?

@BillBrown

e a problem.
If everyone you know wants them banned- it should be easy to convince 2/3 of congress and 3/4 of the states to repeal the 2nd amendment.
Go for it
Check back with us when you’re 100 years old and tell us how it came out.

We are working on it. That’s why the big push to get young people registered.

Personally, I’m working with a group of people to unseat the R Congressperson in the district adjacent to mine.

And we have an excellent chance of doing just that.

And that is the main reason behind this anti-gun rhetoric, fire up the clueless children to elect democrats. Because no matter how many of them you dupe, your chances of repealing the second remain slim to none.

There are quite a few of them on this forum. It appears they’re getting more spun up and irrational by the day.

There have been more than that. That would be only 5 this year. Dallas has that many drug shootings a week.
I think you’re totally over your head with this subject and probably need to read a little before you approach it again.

By now Bill, you should realize that Mob is not interested in facts.

Wow, are you saying that NY isn’t complying with the Motor-Voter act?

If you really want to protect children, ban cell phone texting. It kills many more teens than are killed with guns. The real problem is not guns. The real problem is that our society (due to the loss of things like church and local schools) is losing it’s sense of cohesion and responsiblity.

I believe in NYS you need to apply for a “senior” license when you turn 18, so they don’t sign up to register when the get their “junior” license at 16 or 17.

Cell phone texting while driving is already against the law in NYS,

In all honesty, it’s somewhat understandable for those who just went through such a tragic event to make such ridiculous demands. What is not understandable is the obsequious level of devotion to them and their cause they inspired among supposed rational people.

We didn’t need to fire them up, They got their generation fired up all on their own. Seeing your friends get mowed down will do that. They are the leaders of this movement - just like my generation took the lead over the Vietnam WR.

Their parents and us old folks are their allies.

Oh, and they aren’t clueless.

@Perdidochas

There are no such things as reasonable reforms, other than possibly mandating governmental agencies report better to the NICS. “Reasonable” reforms just make it harder for law-abiding citizens to buy guns with almost no effect on criminals.

One other reasonable reform would be to allow individuals to access the NICS when selling a personal gun to another individual without having to pay an FFL to do it for them. It would be relatively simple to do and it would close the so-called “gunshow loophole” so you would think the anti-gun folks would love t. But they want to add to the bureaucracy (and expense to the gun owners/buyers) by forcing all transfers of guns (even a gift to an immediate family member) be conducted as though it was a commercial sale. Their resistance to such reasonable changes proves that they are not serious about resolving the problems, they just want to continue to restrict legal private gun ownership out of existence.

@lulubee

IMO, I think the gun nuts think they have most people on their side - because they are in an NRA bubble. I think there are way more of us than them now. People are simply fend up with our children getting slaughtered in schools, theaters, concert venues, malls etc., and nothing being done at all.

About ten times more kids die each year coming and going to school than die while in school from all causes, not just gunshots. Apparently liberals accept those deaths without question.

How can they be so callous? All we are asking for are reasonable restrictions on owning cell phones and driving. But you know these phone and car nuts aren’t having any of it.

Obviously the law is not preventing kids from dying. We need more laws.

Laws banning texting while driving appear to be reducing the number of fatalities by about 2% but it is going take time time - like seat belt wearing laws took time to start making a difference.

But go ahead and keep mocking these kids and young adults. They don’t care. They are “woke” and you aren’t going to stop them.

Or something that disables a phone while car is in drive. I’m sure it’s not to far away.

We could do that with smart guns (finger recognition) but nooooo…NRA is against that and drove that manufacturer out of business.

Pfft, liberals have been telling me the younger generation were all liberals and were going to help them get their agenda done for forty years. Hasn’t happened yet, republicans hold more elected offices now then they have in the last hundred years. I’m not afraid of little liberal Johnny and Susie, they can’t be counted on to vote and many of them turn into republicans by the time they can be.
