STOP EXTREME GUN CONTROL BILL H.R. 127

[Erik Nelson]

The government isn’t trying and never has tried to ‘take your guns," however some people in government want to make certain guns illegal and make it harder for mentally ill people to get guns, to try and reduce the crazy number of gun deaths in our country.

Just saw (part of) an episode of Paternity Court with Lauren Lake. The defendant admitted to the Judge he had never really cared for the plaintiff, but had only ever simply said whatever he thought he needed to say, to get her to do what he desired. She fell for his lies over and over.

But enough about people falling for the “theyiz cummin fer yur gunz!” Rhetoric.

I see, data and facts dont matter to you.

Arguing by meme is pretty stupid btw.

I already posted data and facts from two different websites and the meme just further made a point.

So you just assume that the leaders you elected are lying to you? That’s called paranoia.

<Sigh> Florida. <Shakes head>

They used to hang you for stealing a man's horse.

Yeah, we used to do a lot of awful things. Thankfully we have improved some.

1) Guns actually. In 2019 about 37.8k people died from firearms related injury, while the same year about 36k died in car accidents.
2) Guns are designed to kill people. To the extent that they protect people, it's by virtue of being able to kill an attacker. I'm not saying that killing people is inherently bad, but that's what they are designed to do, and because of that they should be treated differently then something which might be dangerous, but has as it's intended function something else.

How many were homicides? How many of those homicides were committed by legal gun owners?

They used to cut off your hands for stealing bread to keep from starving.

Good thing there is no indication it is even being taken seriously by Democratic leadership then.

Is it going to be negotiated or just dropped completely?

Thus far it was written, failed to get any support and is languishing in a comity room gathering dust.

 

[rjs330]

Oh they do? Quote them.

Don't you read the posts? If not maybe you should do so. They are pretty informative.

Yeah and now these thugs steal someones means of transportation because they are starving to death. Right?

I should hope so. But as I said to another poster, these ideas are a lot of what the left wants. I actually liked the bill having all of that in it. It lays it all out for us what the left actually thinks is a good plan. But having it languish also shows they know they can't do it all at once. They will just try and get it piece by piece cause you know, comment sense gun laws. A little at a time.

It's better to know than to guess.

All guns start out legally owned.

Excellent! Thanks for the information. While my initial thoughts about people buying guns at a sporting goods store were incorrect, the remainder of my thoughts sound spot on.

The guns may be purchased legally, but then are sold or traded illegally. It appears the vast majority of the gun crime in Chicago is committed by people who are not the original owner.

Interesting read.

And you still didn't say which parts of that law you would support and which parts you would reject.

The Scope of the Problem: Gun Violence in the USA

For som real data and not some fluff piece.

And which of those papers refutes what the posters link said?

 

[rjs330]

So you just assume that the leaders you elected are lying to you? That’s called paranoia.

Did you like the proposed gun laws? What parts would you support and which ones would you reject and why?

How many homicides are committed by mentally ill people?
What's the definition of mentally ill in this context? What kind of diagnoses would prevent someone from owning a gun?
Which types of guns were used in the majority of murders?

Nor am I going to. This is :

A) Not a bill that is going anywhere
B) Not something I'm gong to waste my time combing through.

If there are particular measures you would like to discuss bring them up and I am happy to give my views on them.
