  1. 24 years ago and since then the weapon of choice has been? Ask a cop which they’d rather go up against.
  2. But what it does do is demonstrate a political will to act and it tests the response of voters. Which is why the pro-gun side of the argument are getting so upset about it.
  3. I don’t need to. A private business enacting a no gun rule, which would not infringe any constitutional rights, is in my opinion, good business the clear majority of Americans do not own guns. Businesses enacting such rules would make the logistics of taken your gun into town a little awkward and thereby discourage people from doing so. Did you know criminals don’t follow rules, or have I got explain that to you.
  4. It’s you that asked the question trying to conflate criminals with guns and gun controls. Sorry you didn’t like my answer.
  5. I’ve got some shocking news for you. People have very strong feelings about the safety of the children. There are many alternatives to gun control beyond banning all guns.
  6. You don’t seem to grasp how the impact of public opinion on political decision making works. The events driving public opinion are non crime related mass shootings in schools, colleges, places of worship, shopping malls and public spaces. People want to know their kids are safe at school or college, families want to feel safe in places of worship, while out shopping or in public spaces. Your repeated attempts to conflate this with what goes on in the criminal world, where the vast majority of Americans never enter, is noted.
  7. Right so the tragic litany of non crime related mass killings in schools, colleges, places of worship, shopping malls and public spaces is something that you don’t feel is important. These events are far from random, they share a number of characteristics, amongst which is weapon of choice.
  8. They are not all AR-15s either, but we all know the gun types we are discussing. Hiding by pedantic semantics is not going to get away from that fact.
  9. Oh do you haven’t noticed the calls for gun controls in the aftermath of non crime related mass shootings st schools, colleges, places of worship, shopping malls, public spaces. I wonder how that managed to evade you? This seems to have evaded you too: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/texas-man-pleads-guilty-90-federal-hate-crimes-and-firearms-violations-august-2019-mass
  10. I suspect you are confusing Washington DC and Washington State.
  11. Yes, conflating all ‘Mass shootings’ with the ‘Mass shootings’ that is driving calls for gun controls. Few people care if a drug gang kill each other in a crack house, the concern is non crime related mass shootings in. schools, colleges, places of worship, shopping malls, and public spaces.
  12. I have a suggestion for you. Try dealing with the reality that support for gun controls is not ‘Anti-Gun’. Doing so will avoid you needing to resort to hyperbole and leave you more able to address gun controls rationally and without emotive swings.
  13. But not the weapon of choice for non crime related mass killers at schools, colleges, places of worship, shopping malls and public spaces. Also a great deal easier for law enforcement officers to face up to and deal with.
  14. I wonder if Singapore is still drug testing passengers arriving from overseas?
  15. Keeping you up to date, because I know these things are matters of concern to many. SpaceX Starship’s pronouns are “was/were”.
  16. I don’t think anyone in ‘My Party’ buys his pillows, well not knowingly anyway. I very much look forward to you admitting you have been wrong, multiple times over the coming months.
  17. Agree, but that’s dealing with the aftermath of a shooting. Time to step up prevention with better vetting before gun purchases.
  18. Interestingly there’s a SCOTUS ruling on the right of Police Officers to knock on the doors of suspects. The SCOTUS affirms that right on the basis of it being a right enjoyed by civilians as normal custom and practice (implicit license). https://www.sog.unc.edu/blogs/nc-criminal-law/what-everyone-needs-know-about-knock-and-talks
  19. I’m surprised you added a laughing emoji in the discussion of a young woman’s death. Well no, I’m not surprised at all.
