We could take the colony back and put it under English law? Doesn't happen here every three days.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Re: Active shooter?
Too hard. Simply, there are many, many Americans who may well feel pain than this sort of thing happens, but cannot move away from an attachment to "the right to bear arms" and a personal attachment to guns. Any change to gun laws will be seen, at the least, as the thin edge of the wedge, and at the worst, as the beginning of some sort of totalitarian government takeover. It is simply not fixable...Rum wrote:Such hard choices.pErvinalia wrote:If only there was a solution to this problem...

Re: Active shooter?
There is no solution. So long as the NRA exists nothing will happen. This could happen everyday of the week but does anyone really believe the NRA would take any notice. All they would say give each kid a gun.

There's one obvious solution - would have thought it would appeal to Trump.

Well, this is a key point.JimC wrote:The critical bit of information will be how he got the gun(s)...
It seems to me a deranged, gibbering idiot could get all the guns he needed in the states...
And often does...
What needs to be done is there should be some iteration of:
A. background check for all gun ownership/permits which is adequate to identify criminal and psych past problems;
B. A requirement for any person who wants to own a gun to be permitted;
C. A requirement to report any missing or stolen or lost firearm;
D. No loopholes for registration or permitting of gun sales (like gun show or personal transactions -- a gift of a gun to a family member should require a registration/permit).
E. Reasonable limitation on size and power of guns.
Add to that, I think perhaps we could require some sort of RFID chip be embedded in each new gun produced so that it would be tracked. That way, if it comes near a school, or another restricted area, an alarm could sound.
Some iteration of that.

Re: Active shooter?
Move over to metric. The change will divide the NRA and weaken their political clout as they start infighting amongst themselves regarding the change in measures. That is where I'd start.
