NRA Convention in Houston

We give these suicidals (as you put it),the means and opportunity to kill as many people as they want.Why they want to do it (going down in infamy),or just cause their f*cked up in the head is really not that important in the long run,our gun laws provide the opportunity for them to do it,it shouldnt be that way.

Hit the nail on the head right there! 

What gun law would not provide the opportunity to kill multiple people? 

BINGO!

In a town near us, police are offering $150 for any gun turned in with no questions asked. I kind of wonder about "no questions asked" especially if they learn it was stolen.

The gift cards are from their Law Enforcement Trust Fund that gets forfeited money from arrests.

Anything that gets guns off the streets is a good idea IMO.

At the NRA convention today, Brevard (FL) Sheriff Wayne Ivey says that instead of arming teachers, schools should have custodians, maintenance staff, and librarians carrying firearms on campus.

Sounds like Archie Bunker's idea to "arm all passengers to stop hijackings."

Democrat's solution: Take the stick away from the kid. 

Republican's solution: Give all the kids a stick.

Democrat's solution is to cut down all the trees. The kid with the stick is really a victim.

This thread isn't about solutions it's just more partisan bickering.

“Most felons report obtaining the majority of their firearms from informal sources,”

Lets address this problem before going after the rights of law abiding citizens. 

Researchers also found that the majority of firearm deaths are from suicide, not homicide.

Is suicide a mental health issue or nah? 

African American males are most affected by firearm-related violence, with “32 per 100,000” deaths.

Only 8% of African Americans considered themselves Republicans. 88% of African Americans voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

No argument here.

Sadly, within a week we had another mass shooting this time occurs at Tulsa hospital. Shooter had one semiautomatic handgun and rifle. Now what? Will Texas attorney general Ken Paxton suggest doctors and nurses be armed with a semiautomatic rifle?
