I'm not sure why we're even listening to an extraterrestrial cephalopod's opinion on weapons. Now if we start trying to ban ink then we should probably consult him.

It is fairy dust to presume that Charles Whitman could of done worse with an AR, it is pure fantasy and ballistically and practically stupid.

Keep clinging to the idea that banning guns will solve mass murders. Go ahead and continue to tax yourself by voting again and again for the government to save you. If the performance of the Uvalde police department is not enough evidence for you that leaving your life in the hands of the government is a terrible idea than really there is no hope for you.

I came here to see what solutions were being tossed around. See if there was any reasonable discourse. None found so far , just a bunch of finger pointing, ostriches. 

You are more than an idiot, you are absolutely fucking stupid.  You are the one with zero reasonable discourse. 

Red Flag laws are more than reasonable.  Closing the background check loopholes are more than reasonable.

How are the nation's police forces not calling for changes on these weapons? Even if police skew more conservative/right-wing, you'd think that having to be out in public on a day-to-day basis with these weapons around would overcome any sort of political bias to say "Hey, I just saw five officers killed in Dallas with an assault rifle. Get those things off the streets." or "Hey, I just had to enter a classroom with 19 dead fourth-graders and 2 teachers and I will never get that image out of my head."

Maybe it's because it justifies the funding of their own military grade equipment.

Oh please. Kavanaugh was in a lot less danger than the 19 children you don't give a damn about. 

At any rate, you've already said you're not for any restrictions. I don't see how you can view yourself as "moderate." You are most certainly an extremist. And, again, you are personally responsible for the deaths of those 19 kids. If you believe in a god, I'm quite certain you'll be judged for that.

He's not stupid. He's just argument proof.

Everything you say is discounted because you're a lib as defined by brother Rush. Your hidden agendas and refussal to hold people accountable are the problem. You will not be listened to.

His brainwashing has taught him that any argument against a lib is, by definition, a valid argument. Doesn't even really have to be an argument. It can be a satisfying sounding string of buzzwords.

I guess he could be stupid. He certainly has decided he already has things figured out, and there is no reason to revisit the hard truths he's learned from FOX, Hannity, and Rush.

He's not even worth a neg because he's not technically lying. He's just garden variety human shit.

Here. Look. Are you good with this?

I watched Al Sharpton being interviewed on Morning Joe about this very thing. Al told about asking the family of one of the Buffalo shooting victims their thoughts on a gruesome reveal. Emmett Till’s in tact body made it possible to display his abused corpse. Because mangled bones and tissue are all that’s left in the wake of an AR assault, an Emmett Till like viewing is virtually impossible.

Please tell me what we regulate more than guns. I don’t recall getting a background check to buy anything other than a gun? Also tell me what if any of these laws should have stopped the carnage for all the mass shootings?  Make sure and include more than Uvalde. Like say Santa Fe and Las Vegas.

Well, this is a lie or at least extremely misleading. We don't have those laws in the vast majority of states (because GOP). But, states that have enacted gun safety reform have less gun deaths and less mass shootings. Texas, which has done the opposite, has 6 of the top 15 mass shootings by death count. 4 of those in Texas have happened in the last 5 years. Yay freedom! Again, that's all on you.

Because how else do you get to get away with killing a 12 -year-old Black kid with a water gun, unless it's reasonable to think everyone may be carrying an AR when you encounter them?  Also, job security and cushy overtime providing "security" to the over 130,000 public schools in the country, as well as every house of worship, shopping mall, movie theater, grocery store, and on and on.

Things actually regulated more than guns:

1) MJ

2) cleaning chemicals

3) fertilizer

4) sudafed

5) cars

6) food

7) water

8 ) sex

9) sex toys

10) strip clubs

11) abortion

12) building construction

13) pools

14) anything involving radio transmissions

15) nudity

16) probably pretty much anything else you can think of.
