Is it wrong to talk about the political solutions to the gun problem just because there was another tragedy?

Is it unfair to conservatives to use current events as a reason for collective, political action-. Like passing new laws?

You mean over 13,000 Federal, state, and local gun laws are not enough for you?

@sunsporter1649 were they effective at stopping the shooting, these laws?

Effective laws are possible, but we don't expect that of the world's policeman.

@Changeisgonnacome @Changeisgonnacome So let's defund the police and turn them into social workers
@sunsporter1649 Looks like the Social Workers would have tried to save the children when the Police waited outside the school.
It is my considered opinion that there is never a bad time to discuss what is to be done about gun violence in America. There are mass shootings nearly every day.

@sunsporter1649 You're so vacsnt.

@Pitchblue You mean over 13,000 Federal, state, and local gun laws are not enough for you....
@sunsporter1649 They would be, if they worked.
Of course it is, any discussion of Gun Laws makes it more difficult for the Republicans getting millions from gun lobby groups to justify why 18 children were acceptable losses.

@Pitchblue And so the skull and crossbones speaks

No new laws. Just enforce the over abundance of laws we already have.

@CorvusBlackthorne there is more evidence of Jesus Christ.

@Baremine too many guns makes it too easy to drop the ball.
@Baremine I was told that he skirted the law by telling his teachers he was only joking, thus avoiding any red flags should he choose to purchase a firearm, which he very predictably did next. What do you suggest?

What's your take on black-on-black crime in Chicago, with almost all the crimes being done by convicted felons, who already are not allowed to own firearms?

Also, why does London have a higher murder rate than New York City? It must be the g..... oh, wait.

@DCarey real solutions don't appeal to American conservatives? No kidding. How about that black on black crime? Don't they want some guns around? You are an excellent example American.

@Changeisgonnacome What is your solution to stop black on black murders in cities like Chicago? Fact-driven. No drivel.
Baremine · 70-79, C
@DCarey gun laws don't prevent anything. They just make it a crime.

What do you think new laws would prevent that the old laws wouldn't? Serious question.

@Changeisgonnacome A friend of mine tells of his family in Russia. The family was Mennonite and thus pacifist. The Cossacks would ride into their village and kill a few mennonites and rape a few mennonite women except the family of my friend. That family had a gun and the cossacks knew it. Guns are not evil and are not always used for evil purposes. Ever go for a walk on the tundra? They insist you take a gun in case you meet a polar bear.

@hippyjoe1955 we expect excuses and violence.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Changeisgonnacome And that proves what?

it's been going on for so long it isn't only current events, it's past events and they seem to think it should or must be future events.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@exchrist Sounds like leftist projection to me. The progressives have using current events to advance their cause since before they decided to dismiss history.
