They already have laws for a felon having a gun.. If on probation or parole its more severe than a felon who is free from reporting requirements etc but still, a felon can never own a gun again without more severe sanctions imposed.

I like your numbers !!

The illegals, gangs, criminals etc don’t buy their weapons from stores, its all underground.. So they don’t care about the laws anyway other than liking how our government wants to remove our ability to defend ourselves..

If gun violence is out of control, perhaps you can explain the following...
Since the ridiculous gun ban expired, the population of the US has increased by some 40 million people. There have been 12 million concealed carry permits issued, more than 100 million more guns are now in private ownership, and yet, somehow, the murder rate has decreased by 50%. These are US government statistics. Where is the bloodbath? There are parts of Australia where the murder rate is higher than the US. Mexico has strict gun control and their murder rate is five times as high as ours. With one third of our population they had twice as many murders last year. There are 3242 counties or the equivalent in the US, and more than half of them had NO murders last year. More than half the murders occurred in barely 2% of these counties. For instance, Alabama's murder rate is lower than the UK if you discount the murders in Brimingham and Mobile. Georgia's murder rate, already lower than a number of states with strict gun control, are about the same as the UK if you don't count metro Atlanta, and Savannah.

I'm not worried. I have Popsicles for them.

The problem is that we already have the laws on the books, our government will not spend the money required to enforce them.

Prohibited person in possession of a firearm, 5 years, no parole. Got ammo, 5 more years, no parole.

Cross a state, 10 more years. Cost to impose 20 year sentence, about $1,000,000.

Now multiply that by the number of prohibited persons with firearms.

Don’t you just know I saved this extremely informative piece for future references..

I’ll only add to your post by reference...

While grabbing the most headlines, gun violence is not limited to mass shootings...Gun fatalities include homicides, accidents, and suicides. There were 38,658 firearm deaths in the United States in 2016. Of those fatalities, 22,938 were suicides, and 14,415 were homicides.

No part of the country has been spared mass shootings. The 10 deadliest incidents have occurred in Texas, California, Florida, Virginia, Connecticut, Oklahoma, and Nevada.

When adjusted for the population size, five of the deadliest 10 states are in the South, and six are among the 10 poorest U.S. states. In all but five states, more than half of all firearm fatalities were suicides.

A good article with sub parts to click on to see more information as well..

24/7 Wall St. reviewed data on gun violence by state based on the latest information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tracks the number of gun-related deaths in each state.

Here is something the MSM ignores.
Many/Most of the mass shooters were on prescription drugs, or coming off of them.
Any statistics on that?

The commercaials by big Farma warn us of that.
Should those kids have been on prescription antidepressants?

archie bunker Loc: Texas

No. They need to be prescribed leather belts across their asses, and work for every privilege. It's not complicated.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Absolutely agree!!

My mother always said the butt was for spanking... Ironic tho, the girls never got spanked.. On restriction for life etc lolol..My two brothers got whipped twice that I know of.... By my dad...All they really had to do was use that “voice” and you knew you were in trouble... lolol

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

No sisters here; just two younger brothers to keep in line. Me against them when we were kids. LOL

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Awe, big brother taking care of his brothers, that’s too sweet.. Both brothers older than I and they were always in my face about whoever I might be liking... lololol...Or in theirs I should say...

But like you we girls never had to worry either because they would tell us the good guys or bad ones etc..They always caught me when I’d run the strip like everyone else, them dang included.. But I wasn’t old enough to go yet~~ ha, no tying me down.... lolol

You against those younger brothers, kept them in line did you?? Did you ever have to defend them??

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

old marine Loc: America home of the brave

I know but the penalty is just a slap on the wrist in most states. Put some teeth in the laws and watch violations drop.

God bless America and the President

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....
