[replyWhat could be more worthwhile than helping a bunch of non understanding gun haters understand your side? What could be more worthwhile than rebutting why our concerns are unfounded?
What’s the point? It’s obvious that you don’t even listen to what I say.

What have you said? “we need armed guards at schools.”? that isn’t a fix. That isn’t even a band aid, that’s just foolish
You can dissect my posts but your comprehension is lacking.
My comprehension has to be pretty solid to be able to dissect you posts.
You’re calling me a nut job and a bad person because I said I would not voluntarily give up my unregistered gun.
Hypothetically I’m calling you a nut job. If all guns were banned and you still kept your unregistered gun then yeah you are a nut and a criminal at that.
Right now now, I just think your arrogant irresponsible for keeping an unregistered weapon. and yeah, the irresponsible probably shouldn’t keep weapons
Guess what? It isn’t required to be registered. Most guns aren’t. Some are. Most aren’t.
I was under the impression that all guns had to be registered and it is a felony if it’s not. You’re telling me this is wrong?
My point was that there are a lot of guns out there and most of the owners aren’t the types to hand them over voluntarily. The govt has no clue where they are or who owns them. So, even if all guns were banned there would still be a lot of guns out there.
I didn’t think a government official would come to your door…but as they’re brandished or found they would be confiscated and destroyed
And banning certain types of guns such as assault weapons are handguns will only nudge people to non-military types, which are often more deadly or more powerful.
we give our military crap guns? street guns are more powerful? that makes no sense. although I do know about the shittiness of the M16
The whole and only point of me posting here was to assert that the only people who have said something that would actually prevent attacks are the NRA who suggested guarding schools.
We all already knerw this about the NRA. If you go reread your post it would appear you agree with it…
Meanwhile, your condemning weapons that you nothing about.
I know they kill, I know they’re offensive weapons, I know they’re seldom defensive weapons. I know enough.
You’re accusing people who don’t have registered weapons that aren’t even required to be registered of being bad people.
As I said, I am under the impression that all firearms are supposed to be registered.
You’re suggesting legislation will help things when you can look at any similar type thing (prohibition, war on drugs) and they have failed miserably.
you’re comparing a chemical dependency to the need to posses a firearm, not the same thing.
I’m flat out saying that no legislation is going to get passed anytime soon that will do anything so the chance of it preventing what happened recently is nil.
I know. I understand that and I’m saying it has to start somewhere. is a signature on a bill gonna fix this? no of course not, this shit ishere to stay for a long time, but it’s way past the time to start regulating this shit and if it starts with a signature on a bill then so be it, as long as it starts.
The only way to make a change is for Obama to enact marshal law and have soldiers search every house and seize any gun that is found.
That is just silly. there isn’t enough man power for this and it was cause more problems than solve.
That is ultimately the ONLY way guns will be removed from USA. Do you disagree with this?
If we’re trying to solve this by Wednesday then yes this is the only way but I don’t think any logical thinking person is advocating this. I don’t even think this is even an option and even more stupid than the armed guards at school idea.
Do you think there is ANYTHING that can be done in Washington DC that will make a difference? I am asking you to be realistic. I am not asking for what you think should happen in an ideal world.
Not with any amount of immediacy but legislation can be started to destroy found unregistered weapons and tighten gun ownership rules.
We don’t live in one. If you can’t get that, then what is the point in me talking to you?
because we have to live together in this country and we may as well try to find any common ground rather than just hate each other.
I am not trying to convince you are even say that people need guns. What I am saying is that they already have them and they aren’t going to give them up.
I agree, with this but if legislation is passed and people are found to possess these guns while out shooting maybe showing off to a friend then perhaps that should be grounds to strip them of all of their guns… It’s not gonna happen over night. I think your the only one that thinks that it is.
And to extend that, I am saying that Washington is so f’ed up that couldn’t pass a bill to even put a dent in the number of guns out there if they tried.
That’s due to the lobbyists
So, what’s left? All that is left is to deal with what we have. So, tell me how we can prevent intruders from entering schools on Jan 3rd by means other than securing entrances?
All I’m saying is that you can’t secure the entrances enough. there are fences to jump back doors to go through. With out making school look like a prison which kinda defeats the purpose of education
