I’m not sure anything quite typifies what the Republicans have become,
more than the law they created barring scientific research.I mean….just pause…and think about that.
Does anything say “Republican” more than that?
And i own a gun.

vWhy fund research with a known political agenda? We already have enough of that nonsense occurring with global warming “research”.
Preventing research because the republicans and NRA might not like the results is their political agenda.
The NRA is afraid of research into gun violence because they know what it will reveal. And they know what the solution is. It’s the solution that Australia, Canada and other countries have already figured out.
We already have the statistics from the FBI. Research isn’t needed.
They BANNED it.
The United States of America…BANNED research funding.
The FBI does some stuff? So what? That’s like shutting down every university and research facility in the world because quote unquote “we already have 1 that does that.”
If you can’t admit there’s an agenda behind this, it will knock your credibility into a permanent no-recovery zone.
This one is way past obvious.
That is attacking the poster. Stop it.
We have the statistics. The FBI generates all sorts of such statistics. Gun violence has decreased. What could the research possibly say other than no gun no gun violence. Duh. Only worth spending if you have an agenda. Duh.
The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.
Sprinkles are for winners.
No it is not the gun. It is people. Whether mental illness, rage, neglect, carelessness etc. the gun did not discharge on its own. Capacity BS. Anyone that wanted to give such heinous goal a thought can achieve more without a firearm. 2nd Amendment is a right and must not be infringed because a few people abuse it.
It is people WITH guns. “Guns” are the common denominator, and the only thing we can control for. We can’t change people, or predict their actions. But we can make it impossible for them to obtain weapons of mass destruction.
And, again, your 2nd amendment right has never included unlimited consumer choice, or unlimited access to any gun you might want, or unlimited lethality. It just says “keep and bear arms” if you’re a part of the state militia — which no longer exist.
Your rights wouldn’t be “infringed” one iota if we banned all semis/assault/military style weapons. Not one iota.

If it were true that more scientific-research would simply back up what the FBI has
already proven, then….the Republicans would NOT be afraid of the research. They would NOT have banned science if they thought it would back up their agenda.You know that.

vNo I don’t. How could you? You propose an impossible scenario.
“If it were true that more scientific-research would simply back up what the FBI has
already proven”That reads as though you already know the what the research will say!
No research is needed. We have the statistics. Gun violence has decreased.

…btw, i heard on the radio that the murder rate is up 17 percent in the big cities. A researcher has dubbed it the “ferguson effect” or something like that. There were differing interpretatiosn of what the ‘ferguson effect’ was, etc.
I would like to see more science, more research on murder in America. The FBI stats are hardly the end of the story. They are the beginning.
And honestly i dont care what the science shows. Remember I have a gun. I’m from west by god virginia. We come out of the womb with muskets.
And i havent really taken a position on “assault weapons” one way or another.I dont have an ‘agenda’ on that issue — I want more science on it. I am not afraid of what the science would show. The Reps are. Its the only explanation for Banning SCIENCE.

vI’m from Tennessee the land of unlawful search and seizure. What? Just one gun? A musket?

Wrong again. I do admire consistency.
We can teach people the proper way to handle firearms. Preferably in the schools. It wasn’t that long ago that high schools actually did this. Should be taught much earlier. Kids are being raised by neurotic nanny staters who raise kids ignorant regarding the actual safe handling of firearms much less the best course of action which is to not handle the weapon at all and alert an adult. But with gangster rap, shoot ’em up movies and obscenely violent video games a generation of idiots is created who are incapable of understanding the real life consequences of their emulating the actions they have seen on video. Yet given the choice between a violent video game and a BB gun the nanny staters choose the video game which ends up desensitizing the kid to violence. Dereliction in parenting.
Yet even with proper emphasis and training bad things can happen. It is life.
