Is your infatuation with a gun more important to you than the lives of even school children?...pretty sad, Cole.

- Connor, for sake of discussion, assume all guns were eliminated in the US, then the tool of choice - jray - 1:31pm 5/28/22
  - We don't have to eliminate all guns...just follow Australia's lead..and it works. [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 3:35pm 5/28/22
    - "[a]cademic estimate, this amounted to about 20 percent of all privately owned guns in Australia." [LINK] - JarHead4ND - 10:45pm 5/28/22
      - Actually, JH, that's somewhat encouraging...just look at the results...only one mass shooting since [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 1:25am 5/29/22

      - Ooops! Let's not talk about that. Doesn't fit - ColeyO - 6:17pm 5/28/22

    - Car bombs were a dime a dozen in the 70's in St. Louis though always intended for individual pols & - JarHead4ND - 1:01am 5/29/22

- You require an ID to buy a gun, drive a car. Why are you discriminating against blacks? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:52pm 5/28/22
  - Let’s apply the Voter ID integrity laws that you seek, to firearm purchases. - conorlarkin - 1:49pm 5/28/22
    - You dodged my question. If ID laws are discriminatory, you must want an ID check too discriminate. - NedoftheHill - 2:41pm 5/28/22
      - Voter ID laws are designed to suppress turnout, and have been proven to be discriminatory. - conorlarkin - 3:26pm 5/28/22
        The guy who won't answer my question accuses me of deflecting. Nice try. - NedoftheHill - 1:42pm 5/30/22
        
        Where have voter ID laws suppressed turnout? [NT] - notredame678 - 3:43pm 5/28/22
        You mean like "Guess the number of jelly beans in the jar"?...that spirit of democracy in action is [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 10:05pm 5/28/22
        So none, thank you. [NT] - notredame678 - 10:25pm 5/28/22
        LOL...the only way you get to make that comment is by not reading my link...willful ignorance is - TyroneIrish - 1:29am 5/29/22

        Here's what Georgia's Voting Law "Tried" to do (see link)...thankfully, a lot of Georgians [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 12:21pm 5/29/22
        As proven in the last election, it did nothing of the sort. [NT] - notredame678 - 1:56pm 5/29/22
        Not for lack of trying on the part of the GOP ;-)...but there are other very disturbing laws [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 2:46pm 5/29/22
        As usual you do not post facts, just leftist tripe. - notredame678 - 3:00pm 5/29/22
    - Why not? Both are Constitutional rights. [NT] - notredame678 - 2:18pm 5/28/22
  - Ding ding ding, back ground checks are racist [NT] - holybull101 - 12:56pm 5/28/22
    - Notably, urban blacks are buying AR's in large numbers at gun shows. - NedoftheHill - 1:44pm 5/28/22
- it was hidden but what you really want is to be able to go after gun manufacturers. 18 or 21..why - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:41pm 5/28/22
  - Yes, missed that -absurd bullshit. Points out Left isnt reasonable in its negotiations [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:39am 5/29/22
  - And why age? Why not other demographic factors that directly relate to gun violence? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:45pm 5/28/22
    - because then it’s discriminatory. [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:54pm 5/28/22
      - And truth be told, Dems don't actually worry about urban black deaths due to crime. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:02pm 5/28/22
- Just for the record, there is already universal background checks for gun show purchases. - NedoftheHill - 12:26pm 5/28/22
  - Not for unlicensed dealers who frequent gun shows. [NT] - conorlarkin - 12:34pm 5/28/22
    - And not for "unlicensed dealers" who sell by meeting people on line or elsewhere. - NedoftheHill - 12:40pm 5/28/22
- I would go along with about 70% of those changes - BaronVonZemo - 12:07pm 5/28/22
  - So would a large majority of Americans. But, the gun lobby has "bought" the folks you vote for. [LINK] - conorlarkin - 12:30pm 5/28/22
    - Problem is you need to create a system which cannot be abused. For example... - NedoftheHill - 12:35pm 5/28/22
      - Exactly the problem. The Left DOES plan to abuse the power. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:02pm 5/28/22
      - Then work the problem, Debbie Downer. Crafting effective legislation takes skill and foresight. - conorlarkin - 12:40pm 5/28/22
        It would help if Dems weren't trying to abuse laws. You guys are selective on enforcement of laws. - NedoftheHill - 12:43pm 5/28/22
        Yep. They can't be trusted. Demons. [NT] - jakers - 1:13pm 5/28/22
- I think the Democrat’s proposal of aborting them is the solution [NT] - holybull101 - 11:47am 5/28/22
