linda joy, youtu is an undependable source. Anybody can put anything they want on youtu. with no evidence to back it up. I rarely read any quotes from that source. When I do, there are untruths, far right opinions masquerading as facts, and gross inaccuracies.

One addition/correction
"both parents have to work to make ends meet"

Unfortunately there are WAY TOO MANY who sit at home on their fat butts collecting, food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, and every other benefit they can google. Baby daddy is no where to be found because he's sharing his swimmers down the block with 3 more welfare queens. The all get free healthcare, assistance with housing and bills and better phones than I have. Need a ride to the doctor, call the ride that will be provided for you.

NOW those 2 parent families have to work to support not only themselves but those who REFUSE to work !!!

Do you really think the six million members of the NRA are so wealthy they can buy lack of control? I watch my son and other members of my community taking their own time and standing their own expenses to go to the communities around us who are attempting anti-gun local legislation. This legislation invariably deprives the populace of their second amendment rights. These NRA members are not bloated plutocrats, they are ordinary citizens, Cops, Accountants, IT Specialists, Cooks, Small Business Owners and even a few Politicians and Judges, who donate their time in addressing meetings to oppose harmful legislation.

There is no lack of control, there is some evidence of lack of performance on the part of the agencies charged with vetting gun buyers and enforcing the laws in place. Most new legislation is unconstitutional but once enacted it becomes an extremely expensive proposition to fight. This is why the NRA is an activist organization, it is easier to block unconstitutional laws then to get them removed once enacted.

Where are the outcries for mental health evaluations for chronic, borderline, sociopathic behavior? Where are the laws defining who must report such behavior when they come in contact with it? If you went to a doctor with a case of VD, he must report you to the public health authorities, there is no patient-doctor privilege in this case. Why are teachers and Principals permitted to remain silent when observing deviant behavior? This is every bit as much a public health issue as VD.

In addition, why is here no demand that the incompetence in the FBI be rooted out. The latest revelation of stupidity is that the father of the Florida nightclub shooter was an FBI informant and his son, the shooter was being considered for the same status but was rejected for his connections to Islamic terror groups. Why was this not cause to put him on a no-gun ownership list?

The demonstrators keep agitating for no guns but the common denominator seems to be the FBI not doing its job. Everybody slams the political top dogs and excuse the rank and file who do such a wonderful job. The rank and file are incompetent careless boobs who are directly responsible for the deaths caused by those they had in their purview and failed to deter as well as ignoring the urgent multiple warnings about the last school shooter. I would not be surprised to find out the Mandalay Bay shooter has ties to the FBI as well. Secret meetings of the KKK and Communist party allegedly had more FBI infiltrators and informers than actual members and they FBI infiltrators have been identified as agent provocateurs, in some of the criminal actions undertaken by those groups.

The thing is there is a large & basically unregulated market to the exchange or weapons.
There is a lack of proper vetting in secondary sales.
This I feel will lead to increased interest in better regulation in these areas.

Because insurance under righters have to pay for damages done by shooters I see greater interest in finding areas of possible liability.

How do you regulate a market in stolen weapons? Or in unregistered weapons. Such transactions are always clandestine. While it is known that such activity takes place in the parking lots of major gun shows there is no estimate of what is being sold or how much traffic there is. It can be stopped easily, there are a limited number of gun shows per year; the useless FBI can flood the parking lots with agents making buys of such material and then arrest the dealers. No new laws needed, just common sense and application of laws currently on the books.

Screw the insurance companies, their rates already account for disasters and the financial value of destroyed property is small in most shootings. The victims, who are insured are also accounted for so considerations for insurance companies is ludicrous. We don't need more draconian laws to benefit the insurance companies. We have no fault insurance which is an improvement but it was concomitant with mandatory insurance for all drivers, with criminal penalties for non-compliance. Every insurance policy I ever had, could get an uninsured motorist rider for a few bucks. Instead of that I get criminal penalties for driving an uninsured vehicle.

It may interest you to know that the good Senator has admitted "misspeaking", to clear up this the matter. What that means to me is that Santorm has admitted that he made an unfortunate and inappropriate comment, which he did. If you honestly believe that his nasty comment had any merit, thats on you!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

One, You obviously did not open the link~~

Two, You have never ever seen me post a Youtube commentary.. I prefer readable literature that can be vetted😏

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

You say what I have said before as well..

Contributions is just a polite way of buying off some politican... Nothing less...

Second Amendment isn’t going anywhere..The legal citizens that own are not the issue.. Why arent we seeking out underground markets? The gangs that dont but legal guns anyway? The gun runners and drug dealers from Mexico?? Or better yet stopping our governments covert operations of providing weapons to terrorist??
There’s the problems.. Nor do we enforce the tough gun laws we have jow!! We don’t need more we need no plea deal ageeements when a weapon is used and 20 to life where warranted..!!!!!!

What he said-was ~~~

Former GOP Pennsylvania senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Sunday that students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, should have responded to the massacre of their classmates by “taking CPR classes” instead of “looking to someone else to solve their problem.”

When he made the comments, duringan appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Santorum was arguing that gun laws wouldn’t make schools safer on their own, and he said the students should instead focus on ways to help respond to a mass shooter instead of advocating for tougher laws.

“How about kids, instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations [so] that when there is a violent shooter, that you can actually respond to that?” he said during a panel discussion.

Santorum’s comments came a day after hundreds of thousands of people, including high school students from around the country, protested at the March for Our Lives in Washington and at satellite marches around the country. Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School organized the march to advocate for stricter gun control laws.

Santorum went on to suggest that “phony gun laws” wouldn’t keep students safe...
Yes, he did say he misspoke followed by the rest as explained above..

Have you read any of the subsequent events involving the chosen speaker of the school??

pafret, People have a right to oppose anything about the government, they have the constitutional right to petition their government for what they want. On the other hand, John Wendel Holmes once noted that the constitution is not a suicide pact. Personally, I believe that their should be reasonable regulations concerning firearms. I want a strong law that will keep military style assault rifles that shoot devastating rounds semiautomatically and can use high capacity magazines out of the hands of felons, disturbed people and people under twenty. Many of these AR15 knock offs have been used in many, many mass murderers. Felons, disturbed people and young people under the age of twenty one should not have them. My grandchildren's lives trump the right of maniacs to shoot up a primary school, or any place where innocents are in a crowd, like an entertainment event. do. ctions in suplport of those rights. Staging as you call it consists of mustering support to defeat anti-second legislation, speaking about gun safety and rational use, in every forum available. It has been their mission since there inception and has not changed. They do not muster mobs, under some other guise, to obtain legislation giving them control over others lives.

The incessant attacks on the NRA are not motivated because of NRA policies but simply by their being an impediment to removal of the second amendment. The NRA's view are published in major outlets from time to time and also when there is such an incident. This is not staging, it is combating hysteria induced by the MSM and those whose aim is total disarming of the populace.[/quote]
