So...why are Dems so focused on guns and NOT obvious FBI failures??

[Bruce_T_Laney]

So what would a new Assault Weapon Ban do and seeing he was not on the No-Fly list how would the list had stopped him?

The reality is the FBI need to look over where they made the mistake and if they need money for resources and the House does not supply the money then the House need it balls kicked in.

Also if it is lack of training on the FBI part then hire and train more correctly.

If it is lack of communication between the States, The FBI and other agencies then figure out how to fix this.

Too much evidence pointing to the threat the man was and no reason why he was able to do what he did!

An Assault weapon ban takes weapons capable of killing dozens of people in less than a minute off the streets. I don't see any reasons for weapons like that to be out there. I own handguns and riffles and thats all I or anybody else needs for hunting, sport, or protection. I don't understand the big pushback from banning these types of weapons.

I agree this situation needs to be analyzed and measures taken to plug up the cracks. If what the previous poster said is true and there are a Millions names on the watch list and 20,000 being added each month then that is a pretty hefty task to effectively track all those people.

Well when one of your bans actually stop mass killings then I will agree but the reality is it never does.

I don't get it how the Progressive Left sit there saying that the average American should be punished for the Government failure in this whole ordeal but they do.

I have pointed out the 1994 assault weapon ban did not stop mass shootings nor did it stop the lone wolf terrorist and if you need evidence then explain Jonesboro and Columbine mass shootings and The OKC and Atlanta bombings?

People will kill and the Progressive left is under the impression that banning certain guns or every gun ( some on the fringe left want every gun banned ) will stop acts of violence but the reality is the criminal and terrorist does not obey the law nor will they ever.

So focus on the FBI failure and let stop punishing those that are not a threat to this country.

The average American is not getting punished by not being able to buy an assault rifle. There is no reason why we should have machine guns, bazookas, grenades, or any other weapon capable of mass destruction. We can still buy hand guns and riffles for protection. Making it harder for criminals to get weapons that can cause mass casualties in a short amount of time makes complete sense. It may not stop murders from happening but it decreases the body count. Any life saved is worth it

Wrong!

As I have pointed out many times now those like McVeigh did not need assault weapons and used a truck bomb and did more damage than any AR-15 ever did.

So let stop with the nonsense about how banning something will make it harder and admit the criminal will kill no matter what weapon they have at their disposal.

Also the criminal and terrorist does not care about your No-Fly list or Assault Weapon Ban and the assault weapon ban from 1994 to 2004 did nothing to detour mass shooters nor did it stop terrorism.

Finally, and maybe you can answer this question:

In 2009 the Senate had a Democratic Majority along with the House and did nothing to pass another Assault Weapon Ban and after the Democratic Party lost power the President wanted the opposition party to pass legislation on Assault Weapons, so why didn't he ask his own political party to do this before they lost power?

Now someone already told me because the mass shooting were not happening like they are now, but let me state again the Assault Weapon Ban ended in 2004 and many in the Democratic Party wanted it extended and when they had the power to do so why did they fail to do what they thought was best for the Nation?

Haha... WRONG! Nice response
To answer you question... I don't know what their discussions and motives were behind not extending the ban... Perhaps they were picking and choosing their battles.
Here is a question for you... Why do you care about assault weapons and automatic weapons? Why would you want easy access to guns that can spray bullets around a room? I agree that it is the criminals that kill and they will continue to do so with whatever they can get. My point is why would we make these kind of weapons easy to get? I'd rather go up against a criminal with a hand gun in a crowd than one with a machine gun... Wouldn't you? Just use your brain man, this one isn't hard to understand.

Why don't you use your brain?

Any gun that can fire multiple rounds would be consider some form of assault weapon and that includes my pump action shotgun, so you are asking me to ban a weapon I use for hunting so that you can feel more safer at night.

As I pointed out the fact is the Democratic Party did not feel the need to pass a new Assault Weapon Ban from 2009 to 2011 and it was not until the Democratic Party was out of power of the House that President Obama started to call for the GOP to do what his own political party failed to do, so let cut the nonsense and admit the Assault Weapon Ban is nothing more than a Political Wedge Issue to get the base excited and maybe convince the dumber segments of society that it will stop terrorism or mass shooting.

So now I have explained why I don't want it but you have yet to find any reasonable excuse why President Obama did not deal with this issue when he had the House and Senate filled with members of his own political party that could have passed the bill...

Also the actual reality is Purple State Democrats know they will be booted out of office the minute they entertain such nonsense like Assault Weapon Ban because those in purple states lean more to protecting their right to bear arms.

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

So much for see something say something ....

Yes, it's obviously "if you see something say something, unless it involves certain people".

If a white guy contact the local FBI field office about someone saying they are part of Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and ISIL then the white guy will be accused of profiling and being bigoted.

The FBI need to do their job better and those like President Obama and those that voted for him need to stop passing the failure of the FBI onto the average citizen and wanting to pass laws that are worthless as can be.

What kind of shitty hunter needs an assault weapon to hunt? Thats like dropping dynamite in a pond and calling yourself a fisherman. Get a life.

I did give a reason, bigger fish to fly... instead of going through another political fight to pass the assault weapon ban perhaps they back burnered it to get healthcare or another of dozens of issues through.

Use my brain? ok, i'd much rather go against a hand gun or shotgun that needs reloading after a few shots over a automatic machine gun. No brainer.

Pelosi does not even agree with you and in the link I will provide state you have to pick your battles and the Assault Weapon Ban is one they can not win:

Why Democrats aren't pushing an assault weapons ban

So even Pelosi is not stupid enough to pick this fight and if you read the article you will discover Democratic Senators voted against the 2013 ban, so when the President own political party says no, well it is a dead issue!

Now use your brain to understand that you can die as quickly from a truck bomb that McVeigh used as you can from someone like the Orlando shooter using a semi-automatic weapon.

Also mass shooters will not just bring one weapon but multiple weapons if they have to use handguns and pump action shotguns, and then you will call for a banning of those.

Also I use a pump action because of the fact I can kill more over time and less reload...

My single shot is home protection believe it or not and is Russian made...

 

[Clementine]

Remember when Democrats RIPPED into the intelligence community?? Oh I do. CIA. FBI. All of em. Especially with the WMD fiasco.

Well....honestly...the FBI dropped the ball big time. It's obvious.

Why aren't Dems knocking them again??? ALL they do is mention guns now. Not a peep about obvious Intel failures.

Because....they really really REALLY don't want to upset the FBI right now...

Criticizing the FBI, or any government agency, doesn't further the agenda of a tyrannical big government. Gun control is what they need to advance their agenda.

If it was about safety, they wouldn't drop investigations on potentially dangerous people due to political correctness. They would secure the borders and take a harder stance on criminals. They wouldn't create sitting ducks by putting up gun-free zone signs.

Right now, the plan is to continue creating as much fear as possible and push gun control as the solution. Usually, they gain support with shootings by making people believe that their gun control laws will actually make a difference. I don't think it's working now. After the Orlando shootings, gays and lesbians purchased record numbers of guns. People are realizing that their safety is in their own hands and NOT government's.

[HenryBHough]

The "F" in "FBI" is widely supposed to stand for "Federal".

Which is true except in years when there's a Democrat in the (former) White House.

Then it just means "Failed".

Well then what are you complaining about? If no guns have been taken away and the dems are not pushing for it, then what are you bitching about?

I own guns, don't feel like my ability to buy more guns is in threat, and don't really care about assault weapons. I'm not going to make a fuss to get them banned but am also not going to stand in the way if people feel like they are too dangerous to put on the market. It shouldn't effect anybody's lives and actually could prevent death. I also support anything thing that makes guns safer and ensure that only responsible individuals own and carry. Too many dipshits out there that don't know what they are doing causing accidents and playing rambo.

Have you been following anything in the news? Has ANYTHING been proposed to take away guns, limit the purchase of guns, or create gun free zones? They are talking about limiting sale of guns to people under FBI investigation and reviewing certain weapons that can cause mass casualties... It shouldn't be a big deal and isn't a crazy reaction to a horrible incident.

Just think if this Orlando nutjob would have been able to purchase a more destructive automatic weapon, more ammo, and the body armor he was going for... Guaranteed the body count would have been higher. Do you deny that?

 

[ClosedCaption]

I've seen countless liberals complain about the supposed "intel failures" that lead to Orlando.

There's no actual evidence of any "intel failures", though.

They see an attack happening as a failure. They cant see the people they've stopped so that doesnt count.

Just do the Trump and say its all bad and could be better if Trump was Potus. It applies to everything even droughts

So now I have explained why I don't want it but you have yet to find any reasonable excuse why President Obama did not deal with this issue when he had the House and Senate filled with members of his own political party that could have passed the bill...

Also the actual reality is Purple State Democrats know they will be booted out of office the minute they entertain such nonsense like Assault Weapon Ban because those in purple states lean more to protecting their right to bear arms.

What kind of shitty hunter needs an assault weapon to hunt? Thats like dropping dynamite in a pond and calling yourself a fisherman. Get a life.

I did give a reason, bigger fish to fly... instead of going through another political fight to pass the assault weapon ban perhaps they back burnered it to get healthcare or another of dozens of issues through.

Use my brain? ok, i'd much rather go against a hand gun or shotgun that needs reloading after a few shots over a automatic machine gun. No brainer.

What machine gun are you talking about,there wasn't a machine gun used.
A shot gun is just as deadly. No

I'm talking about the machine gun that Bruce thinks should be legally sold and not banned. He makes a case that banning weapons makes no difference and I just think that is BS. Yes, murders will still happen, but why legally and easily sell weapons that can inflict a massive amount of damage in short periods of time. There is no point.

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

The average American is not getting punished by not being able to buy an assault rifle. There is no reason why we should have machine guns, bazookas, grenades, or any other weapon capable of mass destruction. We can still buy hand guns and riffles for protection. Making it harder for criminals to get weapons that can cause mass casualties in a short amount of time makes complete sense. It may not stop murders from happening but it decreases the body count. Any life saved is worth it

Wrong!

As I have pointed out many times now those like McVeigh did not need assault weapons and used a truck bomb and did more damage than any AR-15 ever did.

So let stop with the nonsense about how banning something will make it harder and admit the criminal will kill no matter what weapon they have at their disposal.

Also the criminal and terrorist does not care about your No-Fly list or Assault Weapon Ban and the assault weapon ban from 1994 to 2004 did nothing to detour mass shooters nor did it stop terrorism.

Finally, and maybe you can answer this question:

In 2009 the Senate had a Democratic Majority along with the House and did nothing to pass another Assault Weapon Ban and after the Democratic Party lost power the President wanted the opposition party to pass legislation on Assault Weapons, so why didn't he ask his own political party to do this before they lost power?

Now someone already told me because the mass shooting were not happening like they are now, but let me state again the Assault Weapon Ban ended in 2004 and many in the Democratic Party wanted it extended and when they had the power to do so why did they fail to do what they thought was best for the Nation?

Haha... WRONG! Nice response
To answer you question... I don't know what their discussions and motives were behind not extending the ban... Perhaps they were picking and choosing their battles.
Here is a question for you... Why do you care about assault weapons and automatic weapons? Why would you want easy access to guns that can spray bullets around a room? I agree that it is the criminals that kill and they will continue to do so with whatever they can get. My point is why would we make these kind of weapons easy to get? I'd rather go up against a criminal with a hand gun in a crowd than one with a machine gun... Wouldn't you? Just use your brain man, this one isn't hard to understand.

Why don't you use your brain?

Any gun that can fire multiple rounds would be consider some form of assault weapon and that includes my pump action shotgun, so you are asking me to ban a weapon I use for hunting so that you can feel more safer at night.

Right there you are lying!

I never wrote anything about automatic weapons and it is you switching to that debate because some are already outlawed and you can not buy an Uzi.

You need to read the ban list and discover certain weapons can not be obtained here in the states already and what the discussion is about is Assault Weapon Ban which will mean Semi-Automatic weapons and not Automatic weapons!

Also you need to discuss this with Nancy Pelosi seeing she even knows the Assault Weapon Ban is one issue you will never win.

The weapon in question was Semi-Automatic weapon and not automatic, so get that straight and never twist what I wrote ever again or it will show you as the partisan nutter that lies about what other write!

None

Read the article and you will discover it can take six months to be able to buy a automatic machine gun and you can not just buy one and if you did, well you did it illegally!

And here is part of the problem,honesty there is no honesty from the more gun law gang.

Other than style,there is no difference in the business end of a sporting rifle with plastic stock,tjan one that would be considered a traditional looking wooden stocked rifle.

Read my response and to obtain automatic weapons it is harder than you think. Background checks take longer and it is FBI. People need to research the issue before they tell me that i am for something that is harder to do than they realize.

The reality is you have restrictions on Automatic Weapons already and they are never used because those are weapons of war.

Also did you know they make a combat shotgun?

You need to research the differences.

Now one thing I will admit to is I believe Wal-Mart and stores like that should not be able to sell guns or ammo.

Gun store should be more restricted than what it is here in Texas and too many idiots can buy ammo easily from Wal-Mart.

So there is one thing you should start with first before going for the weapons ban you want.

 

[Conservative65]

Remember when Democrats RIPPED into the intelligence community?? Oh I do. CIA. FBI. All of em. Especially with the WMD fiasco.

Well....honestly...the FBI dropped the ball big time. It's obvious.

Why aren't Dems knocking them again??? ALL they do is mention guns now. Not a peep about obvious Intel failures.

Because....they really really REALLY don't want to upset the FBI right now...

I think people just want to do something other than bitch and complain. I don't think a gun law is going to make a huge difference but it is something that could make it harder for sketchy people to get a gun, and we could be smarter about selling weapons that can do a large amount of damage. Everything that is being discussed is pretty common sense and it shows our government responding and taking action. It is also a very valid discussion to explore what was missed in the FBI investigation.

A sketchy person, to use your term, broke into my vehicle a few years ago and stole a gun from it. The vehicle was locked and on private property. The location of the gun was according to State law while sitting in my driveway. I broke absolutely no laws in the manner in which I kept the gun. The thief broke three. He entered my locked vehicle without a key, he came on private property without my permission, and he took something that didn't belong to him.

Tell me what law that could be put in place would have kept him from doing what he did or when he did it, doing a background check on him in order to determine whether or not he should possess it. You do know there are already laws in place that say he shouldn't have done what he did yet he still did it. Help me here. I'm trying to understand how more laws are going to prevent this type of situation where a sketchy person got a gun.
