“Gun regulations”, aka infringements. Since 1934.
- National Firearms Act (NFA) (1934)
- Federal Firearms Act of 1938 (FFA)
- Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (1968)
- Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA)
- Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) (1986)
- Undetectable Firearms Act (1988)
- Gun-Free School Zones Act (1990)
- Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993)
- Federal Assault Weapons Ban (1994–2004)
- Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (2022)
These are just the major federal laws, not including state and local, that infringe on the 2nd Amendment. Every one of them contain infringements. Every one of them except the last has failed to prevent what you are sky screaming about, that one will fail too.
As you can see, we gave at the office.
BGC have been a requirement since 1993. All but a very few of the bat ■■■■ crazy murderers had a BGC, something your ilk fails to admit.
Uvalde did.
See, the thing about a BGC is in order for it to work, you have to have a BG to C. No BG, no ping. 18 year-olds don’t have much of a BG.
Your demand will not change that, it will require me to have a BGC run on my own son to give him a birthday present. Great plan. Another infringement and putting government in the father-son relationship.
The total number of guns in the country is completely irrelevant. You can’t shoot more than one gun at a time. As I explained yesterday, Uvalde bought 2, he used one. Your Vox article is garbage. It is a pile of correlation desperately calling itself causation.
The most telling “point” in the whole thing is 10. Most gun deaths are suicides.
Suicides are a mental health problem, not a gun problem. Did your article run a comparison between the demographics of mass murderers and suicides with a gun? Wonder why not?
The NRA still focuses on gun safety. They got into the lobbying because of that laundry list above. Newsome just passed a law allowing the suing of Toyota if their cars are used in a cri…I mean suing gun manufacturers, who have no relationship at all with buyers, if a gun they manufactured is used in a crime-a clear violation of law and principle. That’s why the NRA started getting involved.
As you can see if you research just a little bit, “they are coming for your guns” is not a myth, it’s a fact. An insidious, concerted effort to diminish a right to the tipping point. Imposition creating ressentiment.
We gave. We compromised. It didn’t address the problem. And still you come. Because you refuse to admit what the problem actually is.
Want to make the age of majority 21? Fine. If a 17 year-old is mental, is he going to grow out of it on his own in 3 years and a day? Because that’s what you’re saying, hoping.
They are already breaking multiple laws and your “answer” is more laws? That makes sense? You want to “destigmatize” mental health by removing a right because of mental health? And it will be permanent.
Just like with Marxism, this whole blind faith that “this next law is the one that will fix it” is absurd. It is fanatical. And it’s a lie.
You are demanding a band aid on a scraped knee while your patient is dying of a sucking chest.
We don’t have a gun problem, we’ve got a huge male youth problem, and it’s killing us and them. Address the problem.
The frustrating thing for me is that low information people such as yourself have a voice in policy. Your vote counts the same as mine. But you are emotional instead of informed.
