So what IS the best way to reduce or prevent mass shootings?

[M14 Shooter]

Why don't you do that? In the meantime, let's put armed guards at schools so we can stop the psychos when they snap.

Or, just let any law-abiding adult at the school, carry if he wants to? The way the 2nd amendment says we must. (Maybe the Framers had something there, do you think?)

They did. They intended gun ownership to be limited to Militia members..

This is a lie, as you know you cannot post the text from the constitution that says this.

Sure. I think we can all agree that the worst thing we can do is put up signs like this:

The people who put those signs up should be tried as accomplices. That would put an end to it.

The word Militia is in the Anendment for a reason.

Europe and Australia have it right. The answer is painfully obvious. Getting there is problematic.

You obviously have no idea what would entail.

You have any idea how many people would die, with the government trying an all gun confiscation.

Hashtag socialist bubble

So you're saying law abiding folks will murder persons who are trying to enforce the law? Am I right?

You have a serious comprehension issue. I would get it evaluated if I were you.

It exactly what rusty said.

This is the part lefties want removed from the Constitution.....,"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

no it isn't. Yes, It is one way one can interpret it. But to interpret it that way would require one to either intentionally spin the meaning of the statement or one to be completely oblivious to the true meaning of the comment.

Now, if one interpreted it that way by spinning the meaning of the statement, then one is showing that they can not refute the point being made....so it shows a weakness in your position.

If one were completely oblivious to the true meaning of the comment, then they have a comprehension issue.

Which one is it with you?

I'll disagree with you here. The US has 330,000,000 people. In terms of the earth's population, that is about 1/15 or whatever. So 14/15's do not live under the 2nd Amendment's allowance for you to get a gun relatively easily.
Lets chop that number in half to 7/15's or 2.8 Billion folks that live in nations that are somewhat advanced and modernized. Undoubtedly there are males who have "crises of masculinity" as you so deftly put it in China, Japan, India, etc... Moreover, as women begin to ascend to higher social levels in these nations, you'll have scores more of these men who are being emasculated figuratively. While you could argue about the cultural value system, Hollywood would be the first to the tell you that it values much more what movies a Chinese teen is attending in Hong Kong more than what an American in Houston is attending. They launch the same movies worldwide and the teens are seeing the same scenes of James Bond, Tony Stark, Star Trek, Star Wars, Hunger Games, etc... Harry Potter was set in London!!! Books? They read the same books. Television shows are pretty much the same. Wars? Europe has seen combat hundreds of more times than the US. Australia was once a penal colony if you want to talk about deviant behavior.

Anyway,you have males who are frustrated simply by the law of big numbers. And you have the same influences by and large.

The only major difference is the 2nd Amendment and a Wal*Mart willing to sell you as many weapons as you can afford.

Utter nonsense.

There are a million differences that are completely unrelated to the existence of Wal-Mart weapons or the second amendment. This is why comparing homicide rates between nations is asinine - you cant control the thousands of variables from diversity and population density to cultural values.

What it said was:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State", the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

I don't think anyone has to add anything to that. You folks interpret it like the word and is included.

Not only that Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration of independence and he said the constitution should be reviewed and rewritten every 20 years or so...otherwise a Black person would still be counted as 35% of the worth of a White person the way it was at that time.

 

[FA_Q2]

Shorten the death sentence time frame for murder from 20 years to 12 months. We have murders dying of old age in prison WAITING to be executed.

True. Standardize and shorten the appeals process so that everybody gets the same and adequate opportunities to appeal and review, and then set a date, and pull the trigger.

I don't see how it pertains to this thread though.

The DP is irrelevant to mass shootings.

So, what are you, the On-Topic Police, or something?

It is, indeed, related, and I was engaged for all of 5 seconds in responding to a related sidebar that had opened-up as a natural consequence of the dialogue.

Now, shall we waste more time away from the main theme, or do you want to let this go, now?

No, I was a poster that was interested in how you thought that would tie in. Then you threw a fit.

Europe and Australia don't have dick right. But if you feel safer there, you should move.

Interestingly put, but I'd say if Europe and Australia don't have the same degree of the same issue, then they must have their collective dick righter than we do.

You can't separate mass shootings from masculinity issues. Can't do it. Time to wake up to that.

What a load if hooey. They do have mass shootings...as well as other issues. They don't have the same number of violent gun crimes because they don't have the same numbers Of BLACK THUGS shooting up the world in their progressive managed shanty towns in cities with strict gun control. Get rid of black inner city population and our high murder rate disappears.

The race card is out. Scratch a conservative find a racist.

And it's getting worse by the day!

You know what? If all the multiple gun owners in the country were checked 80% of them would thump their bibles, own a pickup truck, scratch their ass in public and drink a six pack of beer every day. I won't mention chewing tobacco and trailer parks because the picture is already gloomy enough.

I've been around here 80 years. I've heard all that same bullshit a thousand times. Folks who have to carry firearms and compare them with the ones their friends have should form a small penis club. That way they can compare their guns and their pistols at the same time.

And yet the vast majority of shootings occur where none of those "80%" are. They happen in the inner cities.

Nothing here changes the fact that you know you do not have a sound response to what I posted.
If you did, you;d not have to resort to the old,. tired, unimaginative ad homs that all anti-gun loons revert to when they know they have no useful response.
