best that we enforce the current laws then, as obama has directed in his executive orders moondog Send a noteboard - 08/02/2013 05:59:22 PM
Most of the violence is being carried out by a very small group who own a very small percentage of the guns. None of the laws being considered will do a thing to reduce that small group’s access to guns so the violence will not be reduced. Fairly simple math there.


and roughly half of the guns used in crimes can be traced back to a small handful of rogue dealers who are literally above prosecution thanks to various laws the NRA has pushed through. in any other retail business, tracking inventory and preventing deaths are near the top of the list of things a company needs to do to stay in business. for some reason, the gun industry is not only exempt, but dealers who sell guns to criminals can't be prosecuted. and they don't have to keep track of their inventory, despite selling a (supposedly) heavily regulated item.

1600 gun deaths and counting since Newtown massacre moondog - 06/02/2013 05:40:29 PM 1185 Views
That is a tragic number but the laws they are proposing would have stopped very few of those deaths random thoughts - 06/02/2013 05:53:48 PM 682 Views
how many responsible owners are going to be selling out of the trunk of their car? moondog - 06/02/2013 06:02:43 PM 673 Views
You will never stop or reduce violence. Ever Dark Knight - 06/02/2013 09:01:15 PM 708 Views
Funny, that. *NM* jh - 06/02/2013 09:09:49 PM 322 Views
Perhaps, but we can still limit the damage done by controlling access to guns. *NM* Blaine - 06/02/2013 10:38:06 PM 355 Views
There's a gigantic difference between the "stop" and the "reduce" you so casually equate. *NM* Legolas - 06/02/2013 11:21:31 PM 371 Views
Is there? Without guns the rate of violence will fall heavily? Dark Knight - 06/02/2013 11:35:27 PM 737 Views
Yes, there is. Legolas - 06/02/2013 11:40:57 PM 672 Views
there are ways to reduce the violence but new guns laws are not one those ways random thoughts - 07/02/2013 04:29:01 AM 733 Views

violence, probably not as much as we would like. dead by gunshot? most assuredly so moondog - 06/02/2013 11:45:39 PM 646 Views
that is true but that is no excuse for feel good laws that do nothing but restrict rights random thoughts - 07/02/2013 04:24:34 AM 777 Views
I like how you say 'something more concrete' to describe 'nothing new' Isaac - 06/02/2013 10:38:35 PM 681 Views
i guess in this case "more concrete" means "not just swept under the rug anymore" moondog - 06/02/2013 11:38:52 PM 707 Views
I don't believe it has ever been swept under the rug in our lifetimes Isaac - 07/02/2013 12:40:55 AM 680 Views
we will have to continue to agree to disagree then moondog - 08/02/2013 06:06:38 PM 688 Views
This has more to do with resenting all the "...and another thing!" threads on the subject of late. Isaac - 09/02/2013 12:18:27 AM 715 Views
the nature of this forum prevents single threaded topics.... moondog - 09/02/2013 02:29:31 PM 677 Views
Your point being? Killing people is whole point of guns. Cannoli - 07/02/2013 12:02:24 AM 676 Views
You actually buy the bull**** the NRA tries to peddle? Blaine - 08/02/2013 08:00:40 PM 906 Views
