Only Fury and Sorrow Can Thwart This Bloodbath

Add heavily armed law enforcement presence, and make drugs legal. Allmost all the murders you are referring to deal with heavily guarded drug sale terrain.  We need to start treating addicts as people who need medical help and treatment, not criminals.  Take the money away from the illegal drug trade, and you simultaneously remove the motive of gangsters to protect terrain.  We all note, by the way, your total inability to suggest a remedy for anything you like to whine about.  

Ah... the police state. But I agree with the concept that police should protect the peace... that means going to the root of the problem. Fix it and withdraw. I also agree with drug legalization. Some people are going to ruin their lives... they should be free to do that. Bad ideas fail. Freedom has inherent risks... it always has. We need to accept that as a society and preserve our inalienable rights to pursue happiness and opportunity.

Am I mistaken, or did you and I agree on this? There's hope for America yet!  LOL

Btw... you are spun up by a sensational fraction of any real discussion on gun violence.

Obviously, the gun control regulations we have are not working.  Removing all guns from the public does work -- Japan had 1 death from gunfire last year and has the most restrictive gun laws of any modern nation.

Results are what matters, and Japan and Australia show better results than we do in this regard.  


My solution to our current problems is to make possession of any firearms magazine with a capacity greater than 5 rounds illegal by federal statute with a 10-yr minimum sentence.

You like to make everything partisan -- so what's your answer to bump-stocks?  Tell us how you and your frightened 2nd Amendment friends propose to cut down the mass shootings we've been experiencing.  We're all ears.  Make no mistake, there are far more citizens who want all guns confiscated than there are those who insist on 2nd amendment rights.

At the moment, 63% of republicans want bump stocks banned.  And I imagine the same bunch would okay 5-round magazines.

As a nation, we can no longer afford gun rights that allow nuts to acquire and possess guns that are designed for mass slaughter.  Why should we?

This is a fight you can't win.  We're already at a point where politicians who boast about their NRA ties are threatening their popularity with their constituents.  

And consider this: sure as hell some other gun nut is going to go for the record of number of innocents killed in a mass shooting.

Reality.

You are speaking for yourself here.  I am opposed to the confiscation of all guns.  In fact, I find the idea ridiculous.  All I want is meaningful background checks and an outright ban on the types of weapons like the ones used (most recently) in Nevada.
