DUFL - Racist Shooting Massacre on May 14, 2022 in Buffalo, New York

I found 18%, but only 14%??? What happened to your 2% stat? 

My problem is with both. Isn't an assault rifle a gun? Shouldn't be too difficult to comprehend. Assault rifles inflict more damage in terms of scale of death in mass shootings. 

Keep up. Of course, hand guns can do significant damage too. Again, this is why we need more intense gun regulations. My overall argument. 

Mental evaluations for gun purchases, longer waiting periods. Simple mental evals could have prevented the VA tech mass shooting and last week's mass shootings because those gun sales would not have been cleared. 

Assault rifles are used in <2% of gun homicides. 

So you want assault rifles banned. Only the “racist cops” can own them. 

And you want “intense gun regulations”. Mental evaluations and longer waiting periods. 

What else? Is that all? 

Thirdperson tells me the vast majority of mass shooters aren’t mentally ill. 

It doesn’t look like your solutions will make any difference other than stopping law abiding citizens from protecting themselves and their family members. 

STOP AND FRISK! 

Sounds like you are in immediate need of a mental evaluation. 

Where is this "racist cops" comment coming from? I never said anything about cops in this topic thread. 

You sir are unhinged and incoherent as usual. 

I find it interesting that progressives called cops racist and now think they’re the only people in the country that should be allowed to own assault rifles. 

Tell me why you trust cops so much. 

There is nothing F'd up about that post...Its the truth and you know it...The only thing F'd up is your brain...Does the overcompensating reference apply to you?   I bet it does...

Who said cops should be the only ones to own assault rifles? I certainly did not. 

Man you are truly unhinged today, even more so than usual. 

Trolling on 1000% today.

 This is what's messed up about this post. No normal person who sincerely doesn't want something to befall a person says, "Hopefully this doesn't happen." When someone you care about leaves the house, you don't say, "Hopefully you don't get in a car wreck." These things go without saying, and it's bad ju ju to even put them out there.

When you make a statement like the one made here, what you are really saying, and maybe it's subconsciously, but you're saying, "We don't agree on this particular subject but I bet if tragedy struct you personally, you would see it my way. You'd get your just desserts. You'd learn the hard way." And I'm sorry, but that is fucked up. This is a very small community by social media standards. That 500K number they throw out there is a farce, and even it would be small by social media standards. There's only a handful of us here. So everything said here becomes more pointed. More personal. Why even bring a guy's loved ones up? Why bring up someone's loved ones being "mowed down" because you disagree on policy? Uniman isn't a fucking gun nut. And he's not some alt-right extremist. He's one of the most middle of the pack people on this site. What you said is messed up. If you can't see this, you are messed up. Just speaks to the callousness the internet breeds. I have said things on this site and had to go back and admit that I was wrong and/or out of line but I would never insinuate such a thing.

Not much doubt which way Stefanik leans

Yeah, but he's consistent, if that counts for anything.

You want to take assault rifles away from civilians and the government? 

Not necessarily. However, we can limit the production of such weapons and create more restrictions for assault rifle ownership. Raising the age to be able to purchase assault rifles to 21 at the federal level like handguns instead of 18 in certain states like Texas is one way to work toward prevention of these shootings. (common sense). How about creating mandatory mental evaluations and longer waiting periods for purchases of all guns?

How about a mandatory gun training program of 12 months for all new potential gun owners? And integrate mental and psychological tests into the training program before you can buy any gun.

There are so many creative options that can be tried in order to reduce gun violence through legally purchased guns. Currently, the government isn't trying anything and the right wants no restrictions, which simply cannot continue. 

Ok you need to be 21 to buy an assault rifle. 

But you need to show an ID to vote in any election in the US from now on. 

Deal? 

You sure a gem Detox Meds. 

What is the correlation between voter ID and mass shootings?

This should be good. 

If someone doesn't present an ID in the handful of states that don't require it on election day, does it lead to immediate death?

You are a complete tool. 

deflect, deflect, deflect, bring up an unrelated topic, rinse and repeat. 

Point we'll made.

@I_Need_A_Detox

 How about changing the law in your own state & then come in here to bitch about the other 13 or so states?

Yeah I don’t know why Bernie, Elizabeth Warren, and Donna Brazille cried about the rigged election. They should have just accepted that the DNC was corrupt. 

Seems reasonable.

There should be some compromise. A little give and a little take. 

One side wants 21+ for assault rifles, and one side wants voter ID. 

If you believe your new law will save lives and saving lives is what your concern is — this deal seems like a no brainer.

 Don't lecture me, you nothing nobody...I was calling out Uniman's hypocrisy...and I guess yours, you two are old decrepit MAGA Trumper radical conservative quasi fascists who are inherently insensitive...to the tragedy and the resulting victims in Uvalde...The pot calling the kettle black...You two are quintessential Trumper gas lighters...You talk sh!t, spout your radical BS, then when someone calls you out and punches you in the nose, you run like cowards and then try to play the victim, just like your "Fuhrer"... whether its the defense of the NRA, gun lobby, or the perceived and perverted entitlement you feel to advocate for no reasonable gun regulation, which if adopted could prevent tragedies like what happened in Uvalde from happening again...You and Uniman should really stick to sports capping, because sensitive political discussions are not your strong suits...

Stu, you never told me!! My God, your an old decrepit MAGA Trumper conservative quasi fascist!!!!!! MAGATCQF
