Gun Control Frenzy

[Leadeye]

Strong background checks? I wonder what will be added that will deny a sale.

Breathing?

Maybe they will just put an unlimited time on NICS, like NFA transfers.

I've always heard that if you look for something hard enough, you generally find it.

Trump talking about the shootings, just mentioned video games.

Good lord this is weapons grade stupid.

It has been said on here many times before, but here it goes again. In the words of Rahm Emanuel:

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that [is] it's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not before. (Wall Street Journal, November 19, 2008)

Push on for red flag laws nationally.

Pres calls for doing a better job identifying and acting on early warning signs of gun violence. He says he's directing DOJ to work with local, state and Federal agencies and social media, "to detect mass shooters before they strike."


Sounds too much like Minority Report precog police

I mean, I get it. This isn't a bad thing, and should be done... as long as it doesn't cost any rights.

might be the only time I've agreed with Avenatti

If video games were to blame, the rate of mass shootings would be off the chart in Japan and other countries. Trump and the Republicans really do believe that the American people are stupid.

I mean, his logic is flawed massively... but still.

Slate's got you covered.

The mechanics of this are hard to figure. Does every purchase require a visit to a psychoanalyst, if so what's the criteria?

Breathing?

Eh. Maybe not all breathers. Probably could prohibit based on wrong-think though.

No President Trump, violent video games don’t lead to mass shootings - Washington Examiner

Lazy NRA talking point, hopefully it fades away when LaPierre is gone.

 

[KLB]

But those without wrong-think would never buy a gun to begin with.

But those without wrong-think would never buy a gun to begin with.

Fits the not uncommon assertion that anyone who wants to own a gun is mentally ill. Many believe that is prima facie evidence of wrong-think.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

President voicing support (along with other GOP members) for red flag laws, which tend to be unconstitutional.

Ideally nothing actually comes out of it.

 

[2A_Tom]

Added that will deny a sale.

Breathing.

Wrong-think.

FTFY

Raise your hand if you think Trump "will never let us down" on the Second Amendment...

 

[indykid]

If anyone listened carefully, President Trump blamed the person with the finger on the trigger, and not the firearm itself. I was shocked, shocked I tell you!

If only we could have a lobbying organization that could educate our non-gun owning republicans that fall for the dem's anti-gun narratives.

They could promise you a free bag with your membership as they hope you don't realize they aren't the organization they claim to be.
