@oralloy,
stop tthe buffoonery. weapons, not grips. "just as dead" is nonsense. the FACT is they die from gunshots, not something else..

@oralloy,
So, talk about something else.

@InfraBlue,
Your tolerance for grave violations of our fundamental rights is much higher than mine.

It is completely unacceptable for the government to outlaw criticism of its policies.

No such buffoonery.

"Outlawing pistol grips on long guns" and "outlawing long guns whenever they have pistol grips on them" is just saying the same thing with different words.

That is incorrect. People who are killed with knives are indeed just as dead as people who are killed with guns.

Who cares? They are just as dead no matter what was used to kill them.

@oralloy,
To go along with your analogy, you'd still be able to talk about something.

Irrelevant. It is still completely unacceptable for the government to violate our civil liberties.

I know that.

It is still completely unacceptable for the government to commit grave violations of our fundamental rights.

@NealNealNeal,
The pressure on her must be enormous. I can't even imagine what it must be like.

@InfraBlue,
Hello InfraBlue,

In response to your statement, "Seeing as how it would be a violation of the Constitution, assuming amendments weren't passed by the legislature repealing the 2nd amendment, it would be a symptom of a much, much larger problem.",

You are correct. But have we not noticed how the Constitution has been violated in many cases through the years by the making of items protected by it appear as if offensive and thus unconstitutional and must be banned?

Consider the classic example of constitutionally protected public prayer that was made to appears as a violation of the first amendment and thus banned because it's supposedly offensive to non-Christians. Unlike robbery, voluntary prayer is not offensive by nature but instead a blessing for all. Scripture instructs that all (regardless the nationality) should always pray and faint not (Luke 18:1). Look at the consequent chaos around us after 60 years with God thrown out of public education. Was anyone punished for this unconstitutional ban?

Although true that public gun safety should always be top priority, isn't there also a danger of overstressing to the point of fanaticism? Such can serve as another means for getting around the constitution that protects the rights to bear arms. We must be aware of the danger of ulterior motives.

Aren't there many other grave dangers to the public that should be dealt with NOW!? Do we hear very much about black on black violence for example?

Your right does not offset my rights, but this is pure poppycock:

Do you have a specific example the Constitution being violated by the making of items protected by it appear as if offensive and thus unconstitutional and banned?

I wonder if they qualify for Darwin Awards since they were not carrying guns to defend themselves with.

@oralloy,
""the United Kingdom has one of the lowest gun homicide rates in the world, and mass shootings are rare. This was the first mass shooting in the country for 11 years.'"

from your cite, which you unaccountably left out. no guns, no oned ead, but that logic seems to escape you.

a FAR CRY FROM THE SIATES WHERE WE GET A MASS SHOOTING EVERY DAY OR TWO.
