The vast majority of gun fatalities are from the 99.999% group

worthless child ? wow ! there is no such thing as a worthless child ! your post spoke volumes of what you think of disadvantaged children ...

I don't think she was saying the child is worthless. She was saying the father was. Which, again, begs the question of, "Then why fuck him at all?"

Gotta work those dry fire drills.

Gotta work those dry fire drills.

Have not done that since 2002 when I picked up Gunny and did not have to qualify with the M16 any longer.

You are a bald faced LIAR and you know it numerous Democratic politicians advocate disarming us all the time.

Not unlike GOP politicians who want mandatory gun ownership by everyone

one thing most of these school shooters have in common [besides being crazy] is the vast majority have been under the age of 21 ... so the question is should the US ban large capacity firearms for people under the age of 21 ? would Americans that support the 2nd amendment agree to such a ban ? lets face the facts [and no i am not anti 2nd amend] there is a reason people under the age of 21 are not allowed to buy alcohol ... and that reason is when people that young imbibe they are statistically more likely to hurt themselves or others ... now i know that many of our military are under the age of 21 and handle automatic weapons but they are also under supervision from the chain of command and they were prepared through rigorous training ie..basic training ect .... the military does not hand a young man or woman an firearm the minute they are sworn into the armed forces ... they are trained first ... so should we ban large capacity firearms from non service members under the age of 21 ?

This action may reduce the number of school shootings, but it will never stop all future shootings because a law doesn't keep these shooters from ultimately getting a gun either using false information i.e. about age, or stealing a gun.

Age had nothing to do with thefts.

“Reducing the number of school shootings” had value… no?

We don’t allow 18-year-olds to purchase hand guns because they’re too dangerous with them.

But we do allow 18-year-olds to purchase AR-15s.

Stupid. We need to change this.

What GOP politician ever said that?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Stand your ground means your ground, not your neighbor's grounds.

Stand your ground means any ground you are legally allowed to be on.

who’s advocated for that?

I believe your question is should sane, rational, law-abiding citizens under 21 be allowed to own firearms

Because the insane, irrational, lawless young people who intend to murder innocent people will not respect any new laws you pass

I'm willing to give into the 21 year old thing if we do the same for voting. If 21 is when you can exercise one right, then 21 should be the age you can exercise all of them.

Many will.

At 18 they don't have as much knowledge and connections to buy one illegally....these are not black or white boys in a gang, these are otherwise, appearingly law abiding white boys committing these mass murders.

All got their AR 15 type guns legally, easy peasy.

People usually do not survive being shot by one of these powerful guns, they are torn apart, emergency room doctors say....they can save a normal gun's bullet from killing a person, but it is unlikely with an AR15 type wound.
