Tom B, I have something for you to help you get more inspired for your pissy one line posts http://urinal.net/ Top 10 is very good.
Several dead, children wounded in shooting near California elementary school http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/1...ooting-near-california-elementary-school.html Once again.... what's the solution.
For starters we can look at countries where this doesn't happen like it does here and what did they do to make it that way.
Do you mean like Norway, the UK, France, and Australia -- seems like their strict gun laws to keep guns out of the hands of citizens did little to help. I will agree we need better screening when someone purchases a gun in the U.S. - so people with mental illness cannot get their hands on weapons. There are plenty of others that disagree with me about further gun regulations but I think the time has arrived to come together and address the issue. IMO -- the following things are needed in the U.S.: 1) Require all private guns sales be registered with the government. 2) Background screening for all gun purchases. 3) Increase buyback programs to get guns off the streets. 4) Mandatory minimum of 10 years for a drug or robbery crime committed with a gun. 5) Destruction of all guns seized in crimes (unless it was stolen and the original owner is obvious). 6) Make bump stocks illegal. 7) Reduce allowed magazine sizes. 8) Get gun education back into schools (like when I was a kid).
1- Agreed. 2- If 1, then this should be automatic, as it is now. 3- Buyback programs are a massive failure. Massive. 4- No issues with this. Though it doesn't address these mass shooting events. 5- Agreed. 6- Worthless. You'll never get rid of the ones on the street already, and these can now be printed. 7- See #6 8- Absolutely.
