@davidmccain7662 thanks dave, I appreciate the conversation.
I agree with a couple of your suggestions, but most of this is unconstitutional, and none of this will prevent shootings.
1- raising the age to 21 to purchase any firearm, I'm ok with that, so long as the voting age goes with it. if I'm not mature enough to purchase a firearm, or even purchase a can of beer, I have no business voting.
2- we already have background checks, and waiting periods in most places, and that's fine... and yes, even at gun shows. I assume you have never purchased a gun at a gun show, or you wouldn't think it is somehow drastically different than any other purchase.
3- banning on line purchases of magazine? why? maybe you could expand on that one, and explain how it would prevent shootings..? other than being an inconvenience, I don't get the point...
4- all new gun purchases being licensed? registered? and insured? absolutely not.... this is where you go off the rails.... I do not need a license to exercise my constitutional rights. the bill of rights is my license to keep and bear arms. gun registries have also been found to be unconstitutional. and again, I am not required to purchase anything, like insurance, to exercise my constitutional rights. again, this has already been ruled on. much the same way the poll taxes were found unconstitutional, you cannot provide constitutional rights to those who can afford them, and deny rights to those who cannot afford them. your licensing, registration, and insurance requirement is no different than a poll tax, or forcing citizens to purchase their ability to speak freely. poor folks get to speak too ya know... nobody has to pay for their right to exercise their constitutional rights.
and since you mentioned cars, yes, that is completely different as driving an automobile on public streets is a privilege, and not a right. ( and why do you refer to people as "gun nuts"? care to expand on that...?)
5- psych exams being a prerequisite to exercising my constitutional rights is not constitutional either, nor feasible as it is a subjective determination. who gets to make this determination as to weather or not I'm fit to own a firearm? eric holder? ted nugent? if you know anything about these two men, you should understand why this wouldn't work... my constitutional rights do not depend on a subjective opinion of a un-elected liberal bureaucrat. sorry...
and finally, you tell me that I'm more worried about guns than children, when liberals are the ones that are stuck on the hardware. look at all of these shootings... there is one thing that continues to function properly... the hardware... the guns... yet that's all you want to talk about! you don't want to talk about securing our schools or protecting children! all you want to talk about is "guns"!
take the psycho that drove an suv into a chirstmas parade last year... how do you prevent things like that? you can't.... you can try to take measures to protect innocent people, like placing barricades around large gatherings of people, but you cant solve that problem talking about automobiles, or forcing law abiding owners and operators to jump through a bunch of hoops!
and if you want to talk about mental health, how about we stop teaching hatred and division in our school systems with this crt crap, and confusing our kids with this gender crap... how about we get back to some form of unity? how about our children stand side by side and recite the pledge? maybe pray together if they so choose? christ, we have a sitting president who calls half of americans domestic terrorists, and tries to convince the other half of americans that they are the biggest threat our democracy faces... no wonder there is so much violence in our country...
and wtf is this defund the police, and paint them as the bad guy bs??? ya think maybe we should stop that?

@sethharris813 "gun violence is when a gun is used to inflict harm. You gonna keep trying to be obtuse or do you really want to talk?"
I am trying to talk to you, you still wont address my question regarding the correlation between making guns harder to obtain and more mass shootings...
you are pretending that I didnt type all of that out about our society devolving, and now you're becoming defensive because I asked you to define a term that you used... why?
you will not get angry, and blame me as to why you have to run away now, correct???
I hope not, but we'll see...
now, may I politely ask for clarification on your definition of gun violence?
"gun violence is when a gun is used to inflict harm"
used to inflict harm by a human being, correct? a human being is what is violent, and uses some hardware to inflict harm, such as a knife or baseball bat, correct? but people don't use the term "knife violence" or "baseball bat violence"... because the hardware is not what it violent.
when people are stabbed to death we don't say we need to ban knives to curb knife violence!!! why not? because the knife is not what is violent..
I own several firearms seth, and I have never seen any of them become angry, let alone violent. if you believe there is such a thig as gun violence, what do you think makes some guns become violent, but not others? I would really like to know the warming signs in case any of my firearms one day become violent.. how can I prevent my guns from becoming violent guns..?? do you have any ideas?

@sethharris813 hey! I finally got your post!! ok, it is very long, so let's take it a step at a time.
"it's pretty simple. Weapons manufacturers depend on the US for the overwhelming majority of their sales."
completely irrelevant. not sure why you typed this out.
"The NRA which was once far more concerned with firearms safety and training (which we sorely need) has devolved into a grift machine trying to instead sell as many as possible."
the nra does not manufacture or sell firearms! you have been GROSSLY misinformed! I will not comment further on the nra
"The overglorification of warfare and violence in our entertainment and very national identity hasn't helped the situation either."
ok, now I agree with you here, we are talking about the degradation of our society, not hardware. our society is sick, and getting sicker!
"The sheer and drastic increase in the number of guns in the US correlates to the frequency and casualties of mass shootings/school shootings/police shootings/plain old everyday violent crime."
no it does not seth, do some research... there were plenty of guns is oh say the 1950's, that were very easy to obtain, and yet this senseless mass shooting thing in our society was near non-existent. research th enumber of guns in the us in 1955 and compare that to the number of randon mass shootings in 1955. then research the number of guns to day compared to the number of mass shootings, and tell me what you find.... and I wont mention the the logical fallacy known as post hoc ergo proptor hoc.
"Modern warfare is beginning to be fought in new and different ways and now instead of arming national defense forces with increasingly obsolete boom sticks these heartless corporations are unloading their stock in more ways than one into the American population."
again, irrelevant blather... not sure what this is even supposed to mean, or what the point is supposed to be.
"If we could have a grownup discussion about our very real problem with gun violence then maybe we could save a couple more lives at the end of the day. Yeah, and we'll stop beating this dead horse just as soon as it stops spitting out money."
we are having a grownup discussion, save for you STILL aren't answering my question with any of this....
assuming you cannot or will not answer my question about the correlation between making guns harder to obtain and more mass shootings, you did say something there at the end that raises another question.
you mentioned there towards the end of your rant something about "gun violence". I'm a simpleton, and do not know what that term means.
you use the term, so will you please define "gun violence" for me?

@moonshoes11 all of your last three replies are about ME!!!
typical liberal... you're losing this debate BADLY. so you focus on the person, rather than the subject.
please reply, and comment on the following.
the planet is estimated to be between 4 and 4.5 BILLION years old, correct?
the planets climate has never been known to have been static for any length of time, correct? (if you believe that it has, give me the time period)
your "scientists" and "experts" are now telling you that after 4.5 BILLION years, 100% of the planets climate change is caused by man, and you believe them, correct?
now, will you address any of those three questions? or will you run away, or reply with more personal attacks and adolescent name calling?

@moonshoes11 ok moon. so question 1 for you, do you believe in natural climate change.
I'll pose that as rhetorical, and not insult you.. you are obviously smart enough to know that the planet's climate has warmed after each and every ice age that we know of.
ok, so now your "climate experts" are claiming that humans are causing global warming. (I thought we called it climate change now so we can include cold, droughts, etc?) anyway....
ok, so we agree that there is natural, and human caused climate change. so what??? do you think you can somehow control the planets climate???
how so?
eliminating fossil fuels, and destroying our economy, bringing untold poverty and misery to tens and tens of millions of americans?
shouldn't we at the very least perform a cost / benefit analysis?
how do we do a cost / benefit analysis? don't we first need to know how much of the climate change is human-caused vs natural?
is human-caused responsible for .0002% of the current climate change? .02%? 2%? 22%? 32%? 62%? 92%?
what's the number?
have your "climate experts" explained how they have figured out how to differentiate natural vs natural climate change, and quantify it????
it cant be 100% like you suggested (or your "experts" suggested) unless they are natural climate change deniers...
do they deny that natural climate change exists???
do your "experts" believe the planet's climate is somehow supposed to be static, for the first time in the history of the planet??
that's absurd...

@genepozniak "Sorry. I was referring to NORMAL, SANE people who DON'T think, "I'm sad that my loved one is dead, but it was totally worth their death that they weren't forced to wear a helmet." 🙄"
please provide your evidence that a helmet would have saved any of the deceased.
your entire argument is based on an unprovable fairy tale..
the premise of your argument is that had they all been wearing helmets, there would have been no fatalities, is this correct?
yet there is no way to prove that, so your argument is based on what you choose to believe, and not reality.
not to mention, we are (at least I am) talking about you are also presuming what the family members believe and feel.
your entire argument is based on YOUR FEELINGS!
I appreciate your feelings, but you don't get to speak on behalf of the surviving family members, nor do you get to presume there would have been no fatalities if helmets were worn.
sorry...

@tinasjostrand2677 "yes, of course I'm an atheist. I don't need an imaginary friend in the sky, telling me what to do."
of course you are... you are convinced there is no god and no life after death... just as many are convinced there is a god and a life after death.
personally, I'm an agnostic. I admittedly DO NOT KNOW
when the extremists on one side tell me that, in all their dogma, they know the one real truth! that there is a god and a life after death! personally, I shrug my shoulders and admit that they may actually be correct, but I don't know.
when extremists on the other side (such as yourself) tell me that, in all their dogma, they know the one real truth! that there is no god and no life after death! personally, I shrug my shoulders and admit that they may actually be correct, but I don't know.
YOU have a dogmatic set of religious beliefs tina!! (atheism)
yes, this is a set of religious beliefs! there is NO god! there is NO afterlife! and you are convinced that your religious beliefs are the one only true and correct religious beliefs! (dogma)
you are no different than "they" are tina, you just have a different set of religious beliefs.. you just don't seem educated enough to understand this reality....

The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.
More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.
Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.

@polarbearsrus6980 it's not going to happen.
an indictment would mean fair and equal representation.
it would mean republicans issuing subpoenas for text and phone records of democrats, and calling democrats to the stand...
these things are NOT going to happen....
not to mention, it's a losing political strategy.
gas prices, border disaster, crashing stock market and retirement accounts, baby formula shortages, war in eastern europe, record high crime, general 40 year high inflation... (not to mention, all of these things were better during trumps term)
and you think americans are going to reward the democrats for indicting a former president for the first time in our nations history???
dude............
if that's your winning political strategy, you (as a party) are in BIG trouble..

@iridescentsquids Im arguing that, after a house investigation (russian collusion delusion), senate investigation (russian collusion delusion), fbi investigation (russian collusion delusion), and special counsel investigation (russian collusion delusion).... all based on what we now know was foreign produced lies and propaganda, purchased by the clinton campaign.... impeachment 1.0, impeachment 2.0, ny AG investigations, GA AG investigations, and now impeachment 3.0...
yet NO CRIMES!!!!
I'm arguing that one only needs more than 7 functioning brain cells to see the man is being politically persecuted.
this is the most investigated president in our nations history, correct??
yet no crimes.......
so why all of the investigations?
and this impeachment 3.0 isnt going to lead to any indictment anyway!
schumer and pelosi aren't going to allow an actual fair court proceeding...
democrats and their communications will NOT be subpoenaed.. (not until next year when republicans take control of this mess)
why do you think they waited until just before the midterms to hold these "hearings"? the purpose of these hearings is to rile up the extremist base of the liberal democrat party, and to motivate them to vote this fall.
that's it!
you are being used...
you're a useful tool.
