"Rapper Vic Mensa performed for Saturday’s student march for gun control, coined the March for Our Lives, although he was arrested last year on a concealed handgun charge." http://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2018/03/26/rapper-performed-gun-control-march-arrested-last-year-concealed-handgun-charge/ Quote Video Game fans are already crying because the FX channel killed plans to create a 'Deadpool' animated series, without citing a reason. In reality, it's the gun-control issue - how do you have a cartoon about a mercenary who uses twin Ingram Mac-10's and two samurai swords to kill contract hits, and not stomp all over gun-control efforts? Eventually the three brain cells in all the 'gen-z' kids will fire, and they'll realize that going for gun-control will take video games, as well as rights, from them - and they'll end up with My Pretty Pony and Tetris as their only games. If only they realized that ENFORCEMENT of existing laws would do the trick, we'd have something! Poster boy for what those that want to take away others rights always seem to feel they can keep the same rights as they would deny others.

zerostao Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) a semi automatic baseball bat is better than nothing for many. would you rather have the ball bat, sword, staff, bow, whip, tomahawk. it depends on the individual and some are just not wired/cutout/capable for such action. Even some with guns freeze and fail to perform, about 1/3 I think---even those who are in combat or leo units. And if you're under attack on whatever level of crime, unless you have guards posted closeby, it is common sense to be able to defend yourself,,if you want to add until the proper authorities arrive, that is you, because uttering that would cause me to lose my breakfast.

silent thunder Posted March 28, 2018 Lockdown features with bullet proof doors in schools would potentially limit casualties. Since there is no way to ever really prevent all of these events, it seems logical to institute. It would take cash. We could perhaps divert some of the cash we use to maintain our 19 aircraft carriers in order to accomplish this. Like we have in so many secure facilities... as soon as the alarm is triggered, each section, corridor and room are locked down providing no way out and no way to move to another area until the system is reset and the situation under control. If there were any way to improve the prevention aspect of this... I imagine it involving a move back to pre-Reagan mental health system funding levels would be required, in order to re-develop the infrastructure that could provide a place and a system to identify and then isolate the potential harm seekers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeblast Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) sorry spooks no easter massacre for you http://www.lowellsun.com/breakingnews/ci_31760938/texas-man-facing-weapons-charges-after-he-calls Texas man who allegedly had weapons stockpile in Boston-area hotel says he was on a classified mission A Texas man who was arrested Sunday after police said they found a weapons stockpile that included an AK-47, AR-15 and bump stock in his hotel room told investigators that he was on a classified government mission, The Lowell Sun reported. Francho S. Bradley, 59, and Adrianne D. Jennings, 40, were taken into custody after Bradley called police to the hotel room to report that someone was breaking in. Police responded and found the weapons, the report said. Bradley called the police while away from the room and informed authorities that he had a firearm in his hotel room. Tewksbury police noticed rifles and said they later found smoke grenades, walkie talkies, cell phones, laptops and dozens of rounds of ammunition. Some of the weapons were reportedly recovered in a nearby vehicle. Bradley reportedly told investigators about the secret government mission but refused to go into detail. The couple had allegedly driven from Texas to Massachusetts with the weapons. Police obtained a search warrant for the room and Bradley's vehicle, and ended up finding eight large-capacity guns, including an AK-47, and an AR-15 that was equipped with a bump stock, a grenade launcher, and a silencer, according to a police report. Officers also found 19 large-capacity magazines for various guns, dozens of rounds of ammunition, laptop computers, cell phones, walkie talkies, tactical vests, and smoke grenades among other items, according to a police report. law abiding folks know you dont roll around massachusetts armed like this...in fact they tell you to not even drive through MA with guns, drive around, any potential issues are worth avoiding the state altogether.

Lost in Translation Posted March 28, 2018 Punish criminals, not law abiding citizens. If you commit a crime, you get punished. If you commit a crime with a weapon, you get punished more severely. I really don't see this as a complicated issue, unless you are planning a coup and need to neuter the populace first. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reagan's dismantling of federal support for mental health in america is another in his list of a nasty legacy most don't seem to recall... particularly here in LA where we are currently undergoing yet another scandal over mental health and the homeless encampments along the river. Quote In November 1980, Republican Ronald Reagan overwhelmingly defeated Jimmy Carter, who received less than 42% of the popular vote, for president... One month prior to the election, President Carter had signed the Mental Health Systems Act, which had proposed to continue the federal community mental health centers program, although with some additional state involvement. Consistent with the report of the Carter Commission, the act also included a provision for federal grants “for projects for the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of positive mental health,” an indication of how little learning had taken place among the Carter Commission members and professionals at NIMH. With President Reagan and the Republicans taking over, the Mental Health Systems Act was discarded before the ink had dried and the CMHC funds were simply block granted to the states. The CMHC program had not only died but been buried as well. An autopsy could have listed the cause of death as naiveté complicated by grandiosity. President Reagan never understood mental illness. Like Richard Nixon, he was a product of the Southern California culture that associated psychiatry with Communism... The results of this act are resonating today all across America in my opinion.

joeblast Posted July 27, 2018 I saw that shooting down in Florida, the one caught on tape where the provocateur who has a history of accosting people who park in handicap spots got REALLY trigger happy. He only pulled once, but it was fatally accurate. Cant be pulling the trigger like that when the guy is stepping away as soon as he sees the weapon, it was like the provocateur decided he was shooting him before he even hit the ground. If this were not on video, stand your ground might be something that could be used, but this guy wasnt standing his ground, he was starting shit and got shoved to the ground by a guy protecting his girlfriend from some wacko stranger. A buddy of mine said his weapon shouldnt have even come out unless he was going to use it. I quite disagreed with that notion - if there's more than an arm's reach in between two people and a gun is drawn, that's usually a quick and easy way to end a conflict - without firing a shot. (Within arms reach...that's a recipe for shot/stray bullet...) Misuse like this makes honest, law abiding gun owners look bad. Letting the guy get away with this would be a travesty - but so would striking down the stand your ground law. Here, I think SYG doesnt apply, and this guy should go do some time to think about what the proper use of a firearm is. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
