I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:NRA Gun Control Crusade Reflects Firearms Industry Financial Ties Throughout its 142-year history, the National Rifle Association has portrayed itself as an advocate for the individual gun owner’s Second Amendment rights. In turn, the NRA relied on those gun owners, especially its 4 million or so members, to pressure lawmakers into carrying out its anti-gun control agenda. In the last two decades, however, the deep-pocketed NRA has increasingly relied on the support of another constituency: the $12-billion-a-year gun industry, made up of manufacturers and sellers of firearms, ammunition and related wares. That alliance was sealed in 2005, when Congress, after heavy NRA lobbying, approved a measure that gave gunmakers and gun distributors broad, and unprecedented, immunity from a wave of liability lawsuits related to gun violence in America’s cities. It was a turning point for both the NRA and the industry, both of which recognized the mutual benefits of a partnership. That same year, the NRA also launched a lucrative new fundraising drive to secure “corporate partners” that’s raked in millions from the gun industry to boost its operations. But that alliance, which has grown even closer in recent years — and includes ties both financial and personal, a Huffington Post examination has found — has led to mounting questions from gun control advocates about the NRA’s priorities. Is the nation’s most potent gun lobby mainly looking out for its base constituency, the estimated 80 million Americans who own a firearm? Or is it acting on behalf of those that make and sell those guns? According to a 2012 poll conducted by GOP pollster Frank Luntz for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, 74 percent of NRA members support mandatory background checks for all gun purchases, a position that the NRA has stridently opposed. “There’s a big difference between the NRA’s rank and file and the NRA’s Washington lobbyists, who live and breathe for a different purpose,” Mark Glaze, the executive director of the gun control group, said.

These people are made into celebrities for people like Cruz idolize in a their broken, defective way, because of all the attention they get. There seems to be little downside to the thrill of it for them, especially if they don't suicide by cop. Jail? Yes, bad, very bad, but I don't think they think that far - who does? If people knew the hell of jail they wouldn't jaywalk. We have anesthetized the public to incarceration, hidden it away behind physical and pyscological stone walls to a great extent, and even shown it to be an efficient vehicle to achieve television stardom. It's effectiveness as a deterrent of any kind is over shadowed by the perverse rewards. < / no really > Maybe we need a reality show from death row? Maybe public execution by tank tread?

Quote:Originally posted by second: We Should Ban Semi-Automatic Firearms. For the record: semi-automatic weapons should be banned for civilian use. Basically, shotguns, revolvers, and bolt-action rifles would remain legal, and that’s it. This respects the 2nd amendment, while disrespecting the NRA. A bunch of gun folks chimed in to claim I was an idiot. Revolvers are semi-automatic weapons! Ha ha ha. Being the reasonable guy that I am, I was willing to consider them manual load weapons, since it takes human power to advance the cylinder. A true semi-automatic uses the power of expanding gas to chamber a round. However, if the gun folks consider a double-action revolver to be a semi-automatic, who am I to argue? That just means my list has been revised to single-action revolvers, Break-Action single-barrel shotgun (NO pump-action shotguns), and bolt-action rifles. In other words, the only legal firearms for civilians would be those that require a separate human action to load the next round. But nothing like this will happen.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by captaincrunch: What would happen to all "illegal" guns already in circulation? It's a pickle, no mistake.What happens to cars with no license plate? The owners keep them off the roads, out of circulation. Those "illegal" semiautomatic guns will have to be kept out of circulation by their owners. They could be made useless by requiring owners to bring their gun in when they buy ammo for it. Buying ammo for a semiautomatic? The store is not gonna sell ammo to you. Need a gunsmith for your semiautomatic? Gunsmith won't fix your gun. Want parts to fix your own gun or reload your own cartridges? Nobody will sell to you until they see the actual weapon. It better not be a semiautomatic. But nothing like this happen. I think about it for 10 minutes and decide that there are certainly Republicans suggesting "solutions". An example of what passes for "thinking": www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/19/17025886/right-wing-gun-control-solutions-school-shootings Root, a self-described “passionate, committed libertarian,” thinks schools should use armed military drones, presumably to take out school shooters before they can kill anyone else. But the primary purpose of armed drones is to kill people — whether they are the military drones used at Nellis Air Force Base or the drones that will be used at the US military’s secret $100 million drone base in Niger. Further, the argument that using armed drones in war zones (or domestically, for that matter) rather than sending in troops “saves” American lives (or anyone else’s) is highly debatable. And that’s in regions of countries engaged in years of war like Syria, Yemen, and Iraq — not in American schools. They’re not hostile zones rife with al-Qaeda operatives or members of ISIS; instead, they’re full of children. To put an armed drone in a school to “protect students” would serve only to terrify them. Add to that that each armed drone can cost as much as $30,000 per flight hour, and Root’s suggestion starts to look not only dangerous to individual lives and the civil liberties of American students, but remarkably impractical.

Students nationwide are going to take to the streets in march over this. Their message is that anyone taking money from the NRA is going down. If you are unaware of what is happening I suggest you read a paper. Now, now I think something is in the works that may lead to change. For full discloser, I have a WCP.

The only thing stopping a Bad Guy with a gun is a Good Guy with a gun.For President's Day, McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt agree with JewelStaiteFan, that the only good indian is a dead indian: William McKinley (1897-1901) started America’s extremely brutal colonization of the Philippines. One Kansas soldier told a reporter that “The country won’t be pacified until the niggers {i.e., Filipinos} are killed off like the Indians,” impressively squeezing all of America’s ugliest racial ideology into one sentence. Teddy Roosevelt (1901-1909) was an appropriate choice for the U.S. at the dawn of the 20th century with its incipient industrialized genocides. “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indian is the dead Indian,” Roosevelt said pre-presidency, “but I believe nine out of every ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth.” https://theintercept.com/2018/02/18/for-presidents-day-heres-one-vicious-ghastly-andor-fascinating-fact-about-every-u-s-president/ The best video on a President

By the time my little brother graduated 4 years later they had armed guards and now they've got metal detectors and who knows what else. WTF, world?From a much longer story written by a teacher about “ALICE Training” in her school (alert, lockdown, inform, counter, and evacuate): As a teacher, shooter drills were bad. Being expected to die for my students was terrifying. I was expected to protect my students with my own life. But let’s pause to think about how dystopian this is: Ordinary men and women, drawn to teaching by their love of children and learning, have to think about scenarios that might typically haunt the dreams of soldiers in wartime. It’s certainly not what one would expect when they pursue their degree in education — and, contrary to what some might say today, it’s not what teachers signed up for. I applaud those people who responded coolly to the most horrifying situations imaginable and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their students, but at the same time, such superhuman bravery simply cannot be a routine expectation of educators. And yet it feels as though today it’s sneaked into the job description — an awful addendum in invisible ink. Why do we live in a society where educators need to be trained in how to respond to a psychotic gunman, when school shootings are preventable? The majority of Americans favor stronger gun laws. It’s the politicians who are the problem — the ones who receive millions of dollars from the National Rifle Association and can therefore, time and again, only muster “thoughts and prayers” instead of action and change. www.vox.com/first-person/2018/2/19/17027294/parkland-florida-school-shooting-drills
