Republicans: Let's do nothing and say we solved it. Move back to blaming Biden for inflation.

CNN)The two leading GOP senators involved in gun talks on Capitol Hill signaled Monday evening that it's unlikely Congress will raise the age requirement for purchasing semiautomatic firearms to 21, instead saying they are looking at changing the criminal background check system to access juvenile records before a sale is complete.

Re: Only in America
They only respond to disorder, and even then it has to be significant eg to get the 'new deal' took some 3 million starving Americans, because they were dangerous. But take it down to 1.5 and it's suddenly manageable, fuck more progress....now consider the gun problem in that context, it's hopeless.
We make the laws, one way or the other, and we want our guns.

Mass shootings have nothing to do with AR-15s, only with suicidal thoughts.

Americans should therefore have the right to shoot illegal migrant caravans pounding on their door.

Re: Only in America
I'm angry at the US. But I prefer the company of Americans to Europeans. It's my opinion that much of the world has engaged in projection on a massive scale regarding the average US citizen.
You're loud, obnoxious, and entitled.
Of course, I'm not just an American, but a southern one at that.

They're not. The frontal lobes aren't mature until the mid-20s. Stop selling them weapons. Stop letting them sign exploitive student loan contracts. And for god's sake stop letting them fucking vote.
I'm sure everyone knows my stance on assault weapons, that horse is out of the barn, There are 10s of millions of them out there, and that's just the legal ones.
Where did this kid get the money to buy somewhere around 5Gs worth of weapons and ammo? From all reports he didn't work, and was (according to some other kids) bullied for being poor, yet he had a late model pick up and expensive weapons. Somebody bankrolled this kid and they need to be held responsible too.
Better background checks, better police response, better school security, these are probably the best we're going to do.
As for home schooling, public school enrollments are in free fall. Private school enrollments is exploding, as is home schooling. I think there are a lot of reasons for that, but safety is a primary one.

Meloy largely dismisses the common talking point, often touted by the NRA and its allies, that mass shootings are caused by individuals with mental disorders. Instead, Meloy focuses on how these mass murderers typically go down a predictable "pathway to violence" and the type of interventions that can sometimes derail them from carrying out a violent act.

As Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls on the West for more weapons, one US city has answered the call in an unexpected way.
Dozens of residents from the city of Miami, Florida lined up outside City Hall on Saturday, holding their guns.
They will be donated to Ukraine through a gun buyback program called Guns 4 Ukraine, run by the local city council.
In exchange, residents received a gift card valued at up to $150, depending on the type of gun.
The program in total collected 69 guns in four hours, with firearms ranging from AK-47 style assault rifles to fully automatic AR-15s to homemade 3D-printed plastic guns.

But guns don't kill people, people kill people. So just send knives and hammers to Ukraine.

Re: Only in America
The irony of turning in your guns to send to people who don't have enough firearms to defend themselves is lost on them.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
