We need crazy control...not gun control

[miles]

I'm proposing every citizen undergo a psychological evaluation, a background check, and a complete investigation of their "permanent record" (remember that one?) from kindergarten through adulthood.

We have to put a stop to the insanity loophole.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Ask Laurel to close down the GB.


Yeah, that'll help . . .


lots . . . .

Jeb Bush agreed with you...

And what will the consequence be of being evaluated as bonkers?

"We've determined you're dangerous, and people need to stay away from you. Here - have a gun to scare them off."

Great idea. We should start with all the police officers.

I'm down. Every year with your taxes, throw in a medical examination while we're at it.

Which doesn't change that we do need gun control but this wouldn't hurt and would probably help.

They already undergo psychological evaluations, background checks and training on handling firearms.

If it's good enough for them and the high stress job they have deal with every day, it's perfectly reasonable to say the common man should be checked out before we allow them have a firearm, especially considering they kill more people every year, by orders of magnitude, than do police officers.

I agree with this.

And they would hopefully get better screening than the police do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt

Not all of them. There is no national hiring standard.

I'm kinda curious how many more people are killed by common people per capita than police. You must know since you made this statment.

That will be taken care of once Obama creates his national police force.

Don't worry, at the end of the day Americans are too stupid to form a national police force. We prefer the chaos that allows bad things to happen.

Jesus fuck...is Phro a complete fool or what?

His standards are beyond reproach, aren't they?

Miles, I propose You first and Rob second lol.

Bad things will always happen.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yes bad things will always happen. That doesn't mean we don't take steps to minimize the bad things that do happen.

 

[raindancer]

I say we go back to slingshots or maces. Make violence less lazy. I should be president.

 

[miles]

Assault type slingshots are illegal in the U.S.

You mean everyone will know that I couldn't cut out circles in kidergarden?

Um.

I have already had that miles...

They claim I am sane and a productive citizen worthy of a CHL.

Wouldn't stop me from owning or carrying one anyway, I have since I was about sixteen. Although I live a much calmer lifestyle now.

Playing the statistics game, aren't ya?

For 2013, 33,635 people were killed by firearms in the U.S. That includes all types of deaths: suicide, accidental and murders. That is 10.6 deaths per 100,000:

By comparison, no major police force broke 4 people killed per 100,000 population during the time frame 2010 - 2014:

Though the numbers don't exactly match up, it is quite clear the average person is more dangerous to either themselves or others than police are to everyone.

 

[Conager]

Not all of them. There is no national hiring standard.

There are virtually no police departments willing to risk the liability of hiring someone without all of the above unless they are in such a small town that the reason you don't need vetting is that everyone in town has known you since you were five.

 

[Conager]

For that matter, I am acquainted with (and don't particularly care for) the PhD who does the in-person one-on-one pre-emplyment screening with a large number of correctional officers who intend to serve in the state of Arizona in any capacity.

Corrections Officers, generally speaking, don't even carry guns on their job and a complete psychological workup is required on each and every applicant.

Can you document what you said. Before and after. If that is what he did that was a total dick move.
