And what is Nancy Lanza had decided that it was unnecessary to have a gun because the climate around her was significantly different because legislation implemented a decade ago?

Nancy Lanza enjoyed recreational shooting and hoped it would have the same calming effect on her son as it did on her. Unfortunately that didn't work out. You want legislation that makes the climate unfavorable to those who shoot for a hobby?



What if legislation prevented gun ownership in a house with someone with a diagnosed mental illness? What if legislation allowed for a registry that prevented people from stockpiling ammunition?

What if you already own the gun(s) when your child is diagnosed as mentally ill? Are they confiscated?

Registration for bullets? So whenever you go to a firing range and buy a box of bullets to shoot from your legal firearm, you have to fill out a form?



Stop telling me there's no solution to a problem that only exists in the US.

It's not that there is no solution. One has not yet been proposed by anyone that can achieve consensus.

The US is now 273/275 for mass shootings this year! - 02/10/2017 06:07:38 PM 1835 Views
Perhaps we could also wait for the bodies to get cold before politicizing a tragedy? *NM* - 02/10/2017 07:11:18 PM 489 Views
Indeed. - 02/10/2017 07:32:41 PM 765 Views
yes. - 02/10/2017 07:41:15 PM 793 Views
Well, to be fair, dude ain't got no crown. - 02/10/2017 07:43:31 PM 787 Views
I suppose lack of a crown could be disconcerting - 02/10/2017 07:47:46 PM 803 Views
Does that mean uncircumcised? - 02/10/2017 09:16:23 PM 717 Views
Same here. - 02/10/2017 09:15:29 PM 813 Views
No. It's a willful failure of policy, just like the last thousands times. We fucking can't. - 02/10/2017 07:47:16 PM 785 Views
Yes.You.Could. - 02/10/2017 07:49:17 PM 806 Views
Because not politicizing the first thousand worked so well... - 02/10/2017 07:52:09 PM 806 Views
Really? - 02/10/2017 07:55:22 PM 770 Views
double post for emphasis. *NM* - 02/10/2017 07:49:17 PM 505 Views
Oh and "also"? That comment was preemptively aimed at the very sentiment you were expressing. *NM* - 02/10/2017 07:54:12 PM 489 Views
It failed. *NM* - 02/10/2017 07:56:19 PM 470 Views
Then you misunderstood it's purpose. *NM* - 02/10/2017 07:58:15 PM 481 Views
doubtful. - 02/10/2017 08:00:38 PM 672 Views
The dick move is the continual inaction and call for silence. - 02/10/2017 08:05:24 PM 752 Views
One or two days would defeat your purpose? - 02/10/2017 08:15:49 PM 824 Views
And what if someone goes out an shoots another 50+ people tomorrow? - 02/10/2017 08:18:31 PM 720 Views
Your post on a website with 100 active users would prevent that? *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:22:25 PM 475 Views
Just another argument aimed at silencing discussion *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:27:27 PM 462 Views
If you want discussion how about making specific points or suggestions? - 02/10/2017 08:31:09 PM 751 Views
Stop attempting to prevent discourse because it offends your sensibilities. - 02/10/2017 08:39:47 PM 778 Views
oh fuck off - 02/10/2017 08:45:05 PM 763 Views
Oh please, the problem isn't a lack of ideas. - 02/10/2017 09:04:18 PM 734 Views
You do realize that the guns used in Las Vegas may have already been illegal. - 02/10/2017 09:14:47 PM 747 Views
Or it may have been modified with a completely legal $95 stock - 02/10/2017 09:30:44 PM 711 Views

People who go to the bother of obtaining illegal weapons in order to kill people... - 02/10/2017 09:59:52 PM 746 Views
That is why you limit access to them. *NM* - 02/10/2017 10:21:32 PM 448 Views
It should be noted.... - 02/10/2017 10:13:19 PM 743 Views
All the more reason for federal regulation on the matter *NM* - 02/10/2017 10:20:49 PM 473 Views
The federal law wouldn't do much more.... - 02/10/2017 10:33:46 PM 778 Views
And because a law only makes a problem slightly better - 02/10/2017 10:40:00 PM 741 Views
And that would be the difference between you and me.... - 02/10/2017 10:45:13 PM 754 Views

If there's an average of 1 per day, when are we not mourning? - 02/10/2017 08:03:46 PM 762 Views
How about when we have better and more complete information, for one? - 02/10/2017 08:11:18 PM 701 Views

Which hypothesis? *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:20:51 PM 472 Views
The United States has an unaddressed problem with firearm violence. *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:23:28 PM 494 Views
I agree with that premise. *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:26:58 PM 447 Views
I will always agree with that, - 02/10/2017 08:19:58 PM 791 Views
That was my point. - 02/10/2017 08:24:56 PM 851 Views
Eh, well - 02/10/2017 08:31:43 PM 737 Views
jeez, twice in one thread. *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:33:13 PM 451 Views
Weirdly, I also agree with this - 02/10/2017 08:42:26 PM 684 Views
See Roland00's reply. - 02/10/2017 08:47:57 PM 675 Views

Lets postpone the discussion to 10/10 - 02/10/2017 08:36:57 PM 774 Views
I have no problem with discussion. - 02/10/2017 08:40:43 PM 740 Views
But, but, you lose a news cycle that way! - 02/10/2017 09:14:19 PM 729 Views

Make that 274, 3 people dead and 2 wounded in Lawrence. - 02/10/2017 08:22:21 PM 732 Views
So what you would you say the solution would be? - 02/10/2017 08:50:54 PM 741 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 02/10/2017 08:52:53 PM 416 Views
Any number of the dozens of pieces of legislation that is proposed *every time* this happens - 02/10/2017 09:11:26 PM 825 Views
And yet, almost every time shootings happen, none of those measures would have done anything. - 02/10/2017 09:22:51 PM 749 Views
Speculation and ignored macro-effects - 02/10/2017 09:39:30 PM 741 Views
An honest Question - 02/10/2017 10:06:16 PM 704 Views
The second amendment is part of the problem. *NM* - 02/10/2017 10:30:21 PM 486 Views
And now you just lost... - 02/10/2017 10:39:21 PM 752 Views

I would disagree.... - 02/10/2017 11:09:36 PM 739 Views
I don't think you're very educated as to Second Amendment jurisprudence. - 03/10/2017 12:13:27 AM 834 Views
Why let silly things like facts get in the way of a good polemic? - 03/10/2017 01:24:24 AM 783 Views
And it's difficult to overstate how much they advanced its reach. - 03/10/2017 04:31:58 AM 767 Views

Question for you Ghav but also for any other RAFOite - 03/10/2017 06:51:47 AM 804 Views
It's likely the Ferguson Effect. *NM* - 03/10/2017 09:47:42 PM 439 Views
with a corresponding rise in gang activity and violence *NM* - 03/10/2017 10:07:18 PM 465 Views
This too needs to be studied the Ferguson Effect - 03/10/2017 10:43:02 PM 915 Views

Dialogue....good. - 02/10/2017 11:17:46 PM 741 Views
Just what kind of reaction did you expect to get with a post like this? - 02/10/2017 10:10:34 PM 780 Views
For people to think about the problem rather than token sympathies. - 02/10/2017 10:28:59 PM 825 Views
And the proof for that is....? *NM* - 02/10/2017 10:41:29 PM 471 Views
Killing people is the whole point of guns. The real issue is who gets killed. - 02/10/2017 10:55:59 PM 832 Views
No use putting someone in prison if you don't lock the door after them *NM* - 02/10/2017 11:04:12 PM 446 Views
But after they get out.... - 02/10/2017 11:39:39 PM 739 Views
I don't think you're going about it in a very smart way, then. - 03/10/2017 12:23:33 AM 896 Views
It's never the right occasion to start talking about it. - 04/10/2017 05:39:15 AM 705 Views
