my dad told me after ww2 the NRA told the government that a lot of men were coming back that would have an interest in firearms that they never had before.
and that the government should pass a law saying the minimum sentence for any crime committed with a gun be 25 years! now we know even to this day they don't enforce or punish on constant bases. and there it is think of all the lives that would be saved with just the laws on the books,

I would add arrest every single felon who fails the instant check as they are committing another felony by attempting to purchase a firearm.

As usual, fictionnotfact, like all liberals, assumes his is the answer. There is no room in his world for debate. The solution of background checks is one where anyone can raise a question about a person. So his gun rights are taken away for something he MIGHT do?

You have no legitimate answer for this fictionnotfact.

No, it doesn't. He told Trump the truth. We don't need another gun law, there are too many already that aren't enforced. Trump would lose supporters.

All part of the game plan. Control the Senate and Trump doesn't have to even consider stupid legislation from the House with hidden poison pills in them. Pelosi doesn't read bills anyway. You have to pass it first so she can find out what it says. Trump is running circles around the loony left.

McConnell is awaiting his next check from the NRA to decide what to do about gun control.

OK, tell me Einstein of one NRA member who has committed a mass shooting. Your turn lil feller. I think the only people who should posse firearms are NRA members. They are the responsible ones, regardless of what you libbys regurgitate~

kemmer

Is it you just don’t get it, or are you purposely being obtuse?

Jakebrake Loc: Broomfield, CO

Still waiting kemmie for you to tell me of just one NRA member committing a mass shooting. If you just don't get it, are you being purposely ignorant?

Since you are far to stupid to read the article, the dispute is between trump and the nra.

Frankly i don't give a damn whether trump gets his background checks or he doesn't.

The post was to allow rational people to discuss the subject.

Too bad you don't qualify

You seem to be getting it. No guns, use a nail gun or a crossbow or a car. There is a myriad of weapons out there. I can say some free ones, won't because why give anyone ideas.

I think we get it. It's way too late to close the barn door, the wild horses got out of there a long time ago.

The root causes of violence are in the human condition, not in an inanimate object. The root causes of violence transcend politics, they cannot be treated, or even cured, with legislation. Laws only apply to those willing to obey them. Adding another gun control law to the 33,000 already on the books would be as effective as pissing in the ocean.

Right now, the BGC/red flag thing is just talk. It is a Trump proposal and if it ever makes it through the congressional meat grinder, especially the HOR asylum, and lands on Trump's desk, it will bear no resemblance to its former self.

As a boy my vacations were either a deer camp or a duck lodge. My mother and father were both hunters. Not with just rifles but pistols and bow. When 12 every kid my age in the neighborhood went to the NRA safety classes held at our schools. Only when we passed that course were we given our first 22's. Mine was a semi-auto Marlin. From that time almost ever weekend you would find all of us out hunting rabbits or plinking at targets. This continued till we enlisted or were drafted. In all that time never did we act stupid or childish with our weapons. No accidents and no nothing but good memories. I didn't live out in the woods or out on a farm. I lived 30 miles North East of San Francisco in a city of 250,000. We carried our 22/s on the handle bars of our bikes through town to where ever we were going and not once did police question us.

Today liberals have kicked the NRA out of the schools and children have only two way to learn about gun safety, parents or the TV.. No longer is a gun a tool but something exotic and on every TV station made to look cool. Is it a wonder we always read of children getting a hold of some yahoos gun and shooting them self or another child. If you failed to teach your child to cross the street in a nation with over 270 million cars I would say that is totally irresponsible. No matter if you hate gun letting your child learn about guns through TV in a nation with close to 400 million guns is more than irresponsible. It's a death wish for your child as TV doesn't glorify the car.

I see these miss guided parents all the time trying to keep guns away from their kids. I had a mother go off on me last year from letting her kid shoot a BB gun. She learned fast this is not a subject I cave on. Weather she took my free advice or not I don't know.

Like I said democrats have taken away all aspects of safe gun handling from kids and it's all on the parent. Even if they never touch a gun again in their life they will carry the safety with them. If they decide to join the military they will be a step ahead of the game and may just save their life. Be responsible and be a good parent.
