Gun Control

[Telconi]

I can make a bomb, that can cause a mass killing.
I can run into a large group of people with a truck, that can cause a fuckin' mass killing.

Your ideas ignore what causes violent crime.
You ignore the FACT that guns DON'T cause violent crime.
You ignore the FACT that since guns don't cause violent crime, that something else is the cause.

Poverty breeds violent crime. If you all would stop voting for people who literally only care about guns and not people we could fix the issue and get people off the streets into school working and healthy.

I'd love to vote for people working to end poverty. Unfortunately they all seem to be gun grabbing assholes.

I'm pretty "blue" all things considered, but anyone with half a brain can see the half baked ideas we've seen vomited into this thread are fucking stupid, and I'm with the gun nuts on this issue.

Poverty is the biggest driver of violent crime. Why don't we address that?

Because discussing gun control blinds us from finding real solutions.

So really... it's the fault of people like Keshi who keep us from finding real solutions.

Oh so if someone came up with a real way to solve violent crime and wanted gun control you would be against it even if the violent crime was guaranteed to drop 10 fold?

Given violent crime in my area is already very low, yea.

Because if they gave a real fuckin' way to solve violent crime, we wouldn't need gun control.
So yea, I wouldn't support them.

The same gun > lives that always happens. Atleast this time. When republicans said to Virginians the democrats are going to take your guns the Democrats said damn right and won.

Am a Virginian.

That is not what happened.

That isn't why they won lol.

The Dems won Virginia because Gilispie was an amazingly bad candidate.

I can't offer enough "THIS!" to adequately express myself. Gun grabbers who spend their energy trying to tyrranize people are the reason actual solutions never get anywhere. People shot down Cruz's bill that would have helped prevent that shit in Texas because it wasn't oppressive enough for their sinister agenda, and so we got nothing.

They try to blame the NRA or the Republican party, if anyone has blood on their hands it's those bastards sitting on the floor of the Senate throwing temper tantrums because thy can't take my rights.

They won because they campaigned on real issues that effect real people and were average people not just white collar people in a suit

Do you even read your own posts? Gillespie lost because he tied himself to Trump's policies in a state that overwhelmingly does not agree with Trump.

As much as I agree with the rest of your post, this seems a bit like bullhockey to me. If the overreachers are to blame, then so too are the overly clingy. Both are pulling too hard in opposite directions.

I'm in the UK. I need to have a driving licence, the appropriate insurance, and the truck needs to be registered, before I get to drive it. Is it different in the US?

You can buy and drive a vehicle with no government intervention. You only need such things if you're on public roads.

Depends on the truck.
You really just need a drivers license and insurance, but that changes state-by-state (in Arkansas, I'm pretty sure liability insurance is required).

I'll take "gun > lives" over the stupid "feelings > human rights" garbage you're trying to feed me. Thank you very much.

Before you get to drive it or before you get to own it?

In the US you only need the license, insurance, and registration to drive the vehicle, not to own it.

Not a lot of mass killings via vehicle happen on back roads of private properties though.

Yep. Just implement the other solution instead.

Sure, but there's nothing stopping me from buying a vehicle and promptly slamming that shit into a parade crowd.

You can't really stop lone wolf attacks.

In many places to carry a gun in public you need a permit.

If you plan on doing a mass killing via vehicle, I highly doubt you're going to care about laws that dictate whether or not you can drive.

Not true.
That just means one country has recognized the human right and has taken action to protect it.

Can't argue that. Lone wolf attacks seem pretty much impossible to stop.
