Shouldn't you be asking then why these crackpot kids have such easy access to high powered guns? Why is that question being ignored You mean like before they get their hands on a gun? I agree. I agree, and the shootings will continue to happen. Title of the thread should be changed from 'Another fking shooting' to 'Just another fking shooting' because this is an endless cycle of death and mayhem and eventually it will become a personal experience for one of the keyboard warriors who want to deflect away from the real problem of excessive guns.
I would have no issue cracking down on the easy access to guns for these crackpots if the difficulty level was only increased for them and not most gun buyers/owners. The restrictions would be but a bump in the road for these intent on carnage, they would use other methods. Homemade bombs, cars as weapons or poisons. Gun control does not address the root of the problem. Somehow you are against a border wall but for gun control, seems an odd dichotomy.
That is the cheapest way and most efficient way to get justice. Trying them would take up enormous amounts of time and monies. Extreme liberal prosecutors and judges will just as easily send them out in the street because they do not even bother charging them, putting up any bail but, merely releasing them back out. That is the practice now so that, criminals are rejoicing. Shoot first, ask questions later would be more effective against armed criminals. The scum of society are taken out, a few bullets is all it takes. No chance of extreme liberal prosecutors and judges letting them go with nothing more than a slap in the wrist, if at all.
When the FBI and DOJ can go after the January 6 demonstrators like they are most dangerous criminals out there, they sure as hell can find the most violent criminals and mentally deranged people in our society with guns if they so desire. Go, take their guns away and charge them in court and lock them up. Charge them in Federal court and file multiple criminal charges against them. Of course, I do not discount extreme liberal prosecutors and judges letting them go. Atleast, take their guns away and keep doing it. You prevent those most likely to do mass shootings, from succeeding. Most of them anyway. Voters could recall and remove all the extreme liberal prosecutors and judges that refuse to do their jobs they were elected by voters to do.
The most obvious change that would massively impact what is occurring repeatedly is to re-institute capital punishment where it is no longer implemented. I just completed grand jury service for capital cases in a local city and we indicted several suspected murderers. But it takes years and years for them, if convicted, to face punishment. While I believe deep down that execution is a deterrent it clearly did not stop that kid who shot up a school in Parkland. And there are plenty of murders in Florida despite the state being nearly the worst place in America to commit murder so far as punishment. Still... capital punishment does deter some would-be killers. There needs to be swift and harsh punishment for all crimes. There needs to be cash bail, where applicable, so that parents of these nutballs feel the sting as well. We need to prosecute for all crimes right down to petty theft. The country is descending step by step into lawlessness. If it continues on this path we will see what happens historically which is vigilantism.
I still think solitary confinement would be a better deterrent. Give a low level felon, a first time offender 1 month in solitary confinement, and I mean "solitary", and I'll bet money they'd never break the law again. Make it 3 months, for good measure.
George Christie, former Hell's Angels president.... was once in solitary (a year?)... said it was the worst experience of his life.
