Nashville Shooter Is A 28 Year Old Woman.

[icanhelp1]

According to what I read. The parents were concerned about her having firearms and said she told them she had gotten rid of them. They said she had been treated for mental problems.

I read that. Dark hearts will find a way. The V Tech mass shooter used hand guns and killed 32 people.

I am a retired career firefighter and I know of 2 guys on my department that lost there jobs one due to DUI's and the other from coming in to work drunk. The cops did not cover up either one and neither did the fire department.

I can't speak for anyone but myself on the LGBTQIA2S+ community but I have no prejudice or ill will towards them. One of my sisters is a lesbian, and I worked with Gay men and lesbian women in multiple jobs that were great people to work with and their gender and sexual preference meant nothing to me like mine meant nothing to them. To me the gender of this shooter is just another fact in the case that may or may not mean a damn thing.

Guns in and of themselves are not the problem until an evil person decides to use them to break the law. I am a gun owner and have been since I was 18. In 46 years I have never pointed a gun at anyone, let alone shot anyone. I would be very happy if the only thing I ever shoot is targets.

Something needs to be done about gun violence but the debate is never a calm rational one. It is always laced with emotion, hatred, insults, and frankly, ignorance of the topic.

I said cops look out for cops. If you didn't bear ill will you wouldn't have posted alphabet soup. Thank you for playing !

Guns in and of themselves ARE the problem and it doesn't have to do with evil people. No toddler every killed their mother with a frying pan. We have the stats on suicides, the overwhelming majority of successful attempts are with guns, most people who try one and fail they don't try again.

There is no really rational discussion to be had. A firefighter and an arsonist cannot meet in the middle.

Assault rifles are the preferred weapon for drug and human traffickers on the southern border.

So that’s another reason Republicans won’t ban assault weapons. The southern border must remain a problem so that they can continue blaming Democrats.

 

[Sean Renaud]

And yet more people in Chicago are murdered by hand guns, who knew?

Odd, who was talking about Chicago. . . you really should hide your dog whistle better. Also I knew.

 

[Rightguide]

Oh I know the guns aren't going anywhere so its enough to pin you to positions where its obvious you genuinely dont' care about people dying because you don't.

People die every day for all kinds of reasons. There's nothing that can be done about people who are nuts and want to kill somebody, guns or no guns. Remember Darrell Brooks, the lunatic who killed six and injured 40 people when he drove through a Christmas Parade in Wisconsin? Should we ban all cars now?

This isn't Mad Max, you simple bastard. Cars are made to transport people, not massacre them. Is this really that damn difficult fo you?

Bless your heart. I feel for you if you believe that’s equivalent.

Really , I do.

And no, since you’ve made clear how much smarter you are than the rest of us, I don’t need to explain that to you. You already know.

So, guns.

NOT THE GUN DEALERS. Share the info into the national data base that is used for the background check at every gun dealer.

I agree, If you’re trying to restrict purchases of guns to a mentally impaired individual that info has to be shared with gun dealers. Not all states require a license to purchase firearms and don’t require a background check unless it’s a sale by a licensed gun dealer. Sales conducted by an unlicensed individual does not require a background check ( loophole) A background check is only as good as the information provided to it. The medical community needs to share info with state and federal authorities. Most mass shooters had a background check and purchased the weapon legally. I believe the fix has to start from the bottom up. Medical professionals need to share info with local and state authorities first. Right now I wouldn’t trust the government with a comprehensive national data base. I believe the DOJ and FBI are as corrupted as the day is long.
IMHO

So guns, specifically hand guns are more than everything else combined. Thank you.

Darrell Brookes represents more of a tragedy in that he used a more ubiquitous weapon while killing the same number but injuring more people. Enough to get him six life sentences. Here is a list of terror attacks killing many people with vehicles:

So, shall we ban them all?

More people are killed by knives than are killed with rifles of "any" kind.

The purpose of a car is to transport persons and goods from one location to another. It is not a weapon. Weapons have one purpose even if they can be used for other things, and that is to kill. Besides the Left is pushing mass transit but people like you think that having options for people who can't afford cars or don't want to drive for whatever reason are trying to take away your freedom.

Did you not read the part where I said handguns?

 

[ll74]

vvvvvvvvv

Handguns don't kill as many people as quickly. I'm not wanting a total ban. I want the people who own them to prove they deserve them. You want an AR-15? Fine.....prove it by doing the things that assure the public that you aren't a danger to society. Do that and I'll give you twenty AR15s. Slap a GPS tag on all of them to track one that goes missing.

 

[DeluxAuto]

No, you histrionic moron.

Where was your outrage when the white supremacist murdered a white girl with a vehicle at a Trump rally?

 

[Sean Renaud]

And again knives/cutting instruments have other uses. So without them parsing out if you were killed with a Kabar, switch blade or other weapon that is only useful for a weapon vs who picked up whatever was in the kitchen, or an axe they had for when they go camping yadda yadda that still isn't an honest argument.

 

[ll74]

I am ok with providing access to regular handguns without the scrutiny. Give em to everyone. Make it easy to carry em and access them. By cutting down on the ones that are easier to inflict mass damage, the stupid shits won't put in the work to figure it out. You're left with a much smaller group of criminals who you need to stop.

 

[Chobham]

Nobody is going to be banning any firearm in common use and the AR platform is about as common as it gets with 10's of millions already in the hands of the consumer.

After you get that through your head maybe you'll figure out that maybe dealing with the criminals and the insane are the way to go.

Hence the use of them by criminals who kill kids

After you get that through your head maybe you'll figure out that maybe dealing with the criminals and the insane are the way to go.

Dealing with both is the way to go. But thanks for your input

In the cases, I provided vehicles were the weapon of choice. Anything can be a weapon of convenience:

https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/world/vehicles-as-weapons/index.html

https://www.counterextremism.com/vehicles-as-weapons-of-terror

The main takeaway from the use of cars as weapons is that they are already heavily regulated and licensed. They are driven by people who are known to the government and have been regulated and licensed by the government. Which kind of puts the screws to the idea of government regulation of vehicles or guns being any kind of effective safety barrier to psychotic or criminal behavior.

Mass casualties are not comparable.
