Isn’t it funny how everything we’ve been criticizing the police for is being proven true by the cops in Uvalde. “jUsT a FeW bAd ApPlEs!”

Heads should roll but of course no one dare touch our valiant and perfect police force. Blue lives matter and stuff. “They keep us safe.” There’s never any accountability. If anything, the officer who did this will be promoted or run for Congress a Republican superstar.

U.S. tort laws generally protect manufacturers (not just gun makers) if their product is not defective, proper warnings are given and advertisements or instructions do not cause misuse.

Democrats had the idea a long time ago to bankrupt gun manufacturers with frivilous lawsuits, which led to legislation to prevent these types of suits.

Properly selling a legal product should not result in manufacturer liability in any instance. Be it cars, guns or anything else.

There is not one solution, but continuous background checks that require fingerprinting (not just one and done) that are tied to BOTH fed and state databases, restriction in ownership for people convicted of violent crime (misdemeanor or felony) until you can prove you can be a responsible gun owner and doing a better job to monitor mental health starting in schools, and truly enforce no bullying policies.

And we need to put people with mental health and drug addictions in treatment centers.

While mass shootings get publicity, they asre a sliver of all gun deaths. Suicide is #1, followed by homicides, of which drug related shootings are a very high %.

Meth and heroin cause a lot of issues, and there should be zero tolerance for it.

I don't think the lawsuits are frivolous, the manufactures know who is buying these weapons and for the most part what they are being used for and they still sell them, lobby politicians to keep them legal, its not like they are making a can opener. Who is your market for assault rifles? Law enforcement and the military who will always be able to get them and will continue to fund their development, then basically as far as I can tell there are three groups, gun enthusiasts, right wing militia survivalists and criminals. Now I understand the desire to stretch the market and profitability of a commodity but at what price? I'm sure they look at any prohibition on any style of weapon the thin end of the wedge but that's really nonsense.

Licencing requirements are really just common sense, all guns should also be registered as a legal requirement and to steal from log certain weapons should be taxed at a higher rate.

In terms of the drug war are you suggesting going harder? The last 50 years has hardly been a success story.

In the mental health space, most gun related deaths via shooting are suicide, the majority of people i have worked with who are experiencing psychosis are too disorganised to carry out a mass casualty event. The mental health stuff is a cop out, the mass casualty offenders i have worked with would not satisfy the legal criteria for a mental health problem as most people would define it. They would have one or a number of 'personality disorders' which is new speak for they're ****ing ***** but we can't say stuff like that anymore.

Also require that gun owners keep their guns locked up, with keys or codes secured. A large number of school shootings occurred with non-secured firearms.

How is a gun safe not legally required? Here you need a gun safe and an ammo safe and your weapon cannot be left loaded.

Texas Passes Mandatory 24-Hour Waiting Period Before Police Can Engage Active Shooters

AUSTIN, TX—In an effort to address rising gun violence in the state, Texas legislators passed a new law Friday mandating that police wait 24 hours before engaging with active shooters. “Deciding whether or not to respond to an active shooting is an extremely serious decision for any police...

A recent poll shows Americans overwhelmingly support background checks on all gun sales. The Democratic-led House passed a background check bill in 2021, but Senate Republicans blocked it.

Im confused. So if there is an active shooter in a school killing kids and teachers the police have to wait until the shooter has had a good 24 hours of killing before they try to stop the shooter? Bold strategy.

I'm surprised (the Onion) by the boldness (the Onion) of this legislation (the Onion).

Seems reasonable. At least they shot down the legislation to make it mandatory to provide 500 rounds of ammo to all people buying guns for the first time, if they buy an AR and pistol together. The first timers special legislation.

Just curious, how many of you who want to enact sensible gun control have actually contacted BOTH your Representative and two Senators in the past year about enacting gun control?

Here’s a template email.

How to Contact Your Elected Representative About Gun Control

‘Staying silent and privately grieving   isn’t enough anymore'

time.com

It’ll take you 5-10 mins to send. You’ll probably spend at least 3x that waiting in the drive thru line at Chick fil a, In & Out, and JCWBs this week.

And here’s how you find out who your Representative and Senators are and will provide you with their contact information. Just plug in your address and their information will load in seconds:

Find Your Members in the U.S. Congress

Find your members of Congress by typing in your address on Congress.gov.

www.congress.gov

If you haven’t contacted them since Buffalo or Uvalde, you probably should. They can’t read your minds. They don’t know what you want without you telling them. And for those of you cynical about making a difference, think about the last two years. Where did the CRT scare come from? How did school board meetings become overrun by crazed people worrying about books depicting two gay penguins? How did masking become the gateway drug to your elementary school teacher becoming a pedo? Citizens organizing can definitely make a difference. True, the above examples aren’t necessarily positive examples but they are examples of angry and organized citizens making a difference.

Not Boston Market though. They take forever. Seriously though, do you guys remember them? It would take like 12 minutes in the drive thru to get my food.

You are such a spinster.

If I screw on my tin foil hat I still can't match you for conspiracy theory on this one.

There is no "Republican" superstar mythology to dish out on this shooting. I haven't been following this much in the media, but I know some cops, some Sheriffs, some highway patrol people and an assortment of police from various federal agencies and courts. They are trained by sometimes pretty "woke" folks just trying to be all so damn politically correct that sometimes there is no sensible line of action that is compliant enough for actually doing ****.

Nobody is gonna run for office claiming they were the superstar of Uvalde.

There will be some basically noncompl9iant patriot sorts who will run for office campaigning that they will ignore the woke **** and counter the commie black lives matter more crap. Those will be Republican, for sure, if they are genuinely saying what they think. There will also be some fake Republicans and some lying Dem officers campaigning on how they will fix law enforcement so this sort of thing won't happen again.

Honestly, I think I should go on The Onion. It must be a welcoming community social site for people like me.

Who knows, they might even pay for writing like mine.

JCWs is worse. I’ve never made it through their drive thru in less than 45 mins in either the Lehi or American Fork locations.

I barely remember Boston market. Growing up in Orem we had them and a Kenny Rogers. I used to go to Kenny’s for the chicken.
