After another needless and avoidable armed assault on innocent school kids, the ground swell of public opinion appears to be building towards common sense gun legislation.
Do you see any hope of sensible gun restrictions being accepted ?

If you have a bad guy with a gun what you need is a good guy with a gun.
Interesting situation. It seems a bit wrong that an 18 year old can buy an assault rifle as a leisure pursuit item.
It's a weapon you use if in a war situation where you need to kill loads of people. Home defense is not a reasonable argument.
By all means have guns. Definitely good to have guns but limit the type of gun.
These machines cut people down willy nilly.
Good profits though so not all bad.

"AR-15s or similar rifles were the primary weapons used in half of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern American history:[94][95] the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting,[96] the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting,[97] and the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting."
From Wikipedia arrrticle about AR-15.
Bonkers situation really.

Do you see any hope of sensible gun restrictions being accepted ? No, the right to bear arms is engrained in the American psyche. I'm not saying it should be, it just is. They could blast each other to death until there were only two of them left, and they would both still stand on their right to own a gun. |

It's so sad that a misspelling could cause so much agro.
Originally it was a reference to wearing tee shirts.
Some idiot thought it was a gun reference and to quote a source "we have what we have".

I fear you're right ... although this time the pressure is only to limit gun ownership (no assault weapons, mental health checks etc.) rather than bans overall. I hope common sense will prevail but it's likely the NRA and gun lobby are too strong. Rog |

As Jane will attest ... I am no stranger to harsh language. However on a public written forum I feel it should be unnecessary out of simple politeness. But feel free to be as foul mouthed as you like why don't you  Rog |

I don't think any American Senate or leaders have the balls to try and control guns, infact if someone running for president said they would introduce control I doubt they would be elected.
The constitution was written so long agoz why they think it applies to modern day is odd, do they still have cowboys shooting in the saloons?
