    $32B in cost to the taxpayers to buy back 20M AR15s at $1,600.00 per bang. Let's do it over 3 years. Ban the production, importation and sale now and possession within 3 years with a buy back.

    If you can't possess an AR15, are you unable to defend yourself or shoot coyotes, raccoons, foxes, gophers, rattlesnakes, alligators, bears, wolves, Sasquatches or feral pigs with the firearms still available to you and would you consider such a ban and buy back a violation of your 2A?

    Or

    Just give every baby born in the US an AR15 when they get their SS#?
    Fuck the buyback. Require licensing and registration. Title every fucking gun like an automobile. Restrict sales. 

    Then tax the motherfuck out of the ammo

    I know words are so hollow these days, but that is literally chilling. 


    Brian’s flow chart covered this, it’s not a gun issue, it’s a mental health issue and they should stop using innocent children for political propaganda.

    When I’m in the office, two on my lunch crew are loyal GOP voters. They believe this with full force. There is no getting thru to them.

    Related to what I said yesterday above, this is from a NY Times article this morning:

    "Shootings that kill multiple people are so common in this country that they often do not even make national news. They are a regular feature of American life. Tulsa has become the latest example — yet another gun crime that seems almost ordinary here and yet would be extremely rare in any other country as wealthy as the U.S."

    Yet it happens again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and...

    Do they really think that the US has such markedly worse mental health than basically every other country in the world?

    We could buy a mini14 then.  Same ammo just not all the bells and whistles.

    Usually because it was with a handgun and not an AR.  The AR story is newsworthy and a handgun is not.

    My point is that shooting are so common now, most of them go unnoticed.  The Times listed the shooting this year that killed at least 3 people:

    2022, so far

    Jan. 19, Baltimore: A man who worked for a gun violence reduction program was killed in an East Baltimore neighborhood, along with two others. A fourth person was injured.

    Jan. 23, Milwaukee: Five men and a woman were found shot to death at a Park West neighborhood home. The police believe the attack targeted specific people.

    Jan. 23, Inglewood, Calif.: The same day, a shooting at a birthday party killed four people, including two sisters, and wounded a fifth. The shooting was gang-related, the mayor said.

    Jan. 29, St. Louis: A shooting near an intersection killed three young men and wounded a fourth. Police said they had no suspects.

    Feb. 5, Corsicana and Frost, Texas: A 41-year-old man murdered his mother, his stepfather, his sons and the son of his ex-girlfriend in an overnight shooting. The man later fatally shot himself.

    Feb. 28, Sacramento: A man shot dead his three daughters and their chaperone at a church during a court-approved visit. The children’s mother had a restraining order against the shooter, who killed himself.

    March 12, Baltimore: A shooting in Northwest Baltimore killed three men in a car and wounded a fourth.

    March 19, Fayetteville, N.C.: A Saturday night shootout in a hotel parking lot killed three people and wounded another three. The shooting may have been linked to a fight between motorcycle gangs.

    March 19, Norfolk, Va.: Hours later, an argument outside a bar escalated into a shooting that killed three young bystanders. One of the victims was a 25-year-old newspaper reporter whose editor called her to cover the shooting, not realizing she had been killed.

    April 3, Sacramento: At least five shooters fired more than 100 rounds a block from the State Capitol, killing six people — three men and three women — and wounding 12. The police described the shooting as gang-related.

    April 20, Duluth, Minn.: A 29-year-old man who said he suffered from mental illness killed his aunt, uncle, two young cousins and their dog in their sleep. He later killed himself.

    April 21, Mountain View, Ark.: A man killed his parents, another woman and her son at two homes half a mile apart in a rural community, the police say.

    April 27, Biloxi, Miss.: A 32-year-old man killed the owner of the Broadway Inn Express motel and two employees in an argument over money. He fled to a neighboring town and fatally shot a fourth person. Police later found the gunman dead, barricaded inside a convenience store.

    May 8, Clarkston, Ga.: Three people were shot to death and three others were wounded at a suburban Atlanta condo complex on a Sunday night.

    May 14, Buffalo: An 18-year-old avowed white supremacist killed 10 people and wounded three more with an assault-style weapon in a live-streamed attack at a supermarket.

    May 24, Uvalde, Texas: An 18-year-old gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.

    May 27, Stanwood, Mich.: A 51-year-old man allegedly killed his wife and her three young children at a home in Mecosta County before shooting himself, police said. The man remains in critical condition.

    June 1, Tulsa, Okla.: A gunman killed his back surgeon, another doctor, a receptionist and a visitor at a medical building. He then killed himself.

    Yes and again, it's not national news unless it w an AR.

    We had a mass shooting in the subway.  That barely made any headlines 1 because nobody was killed 2 not an AR and the only reason it might still is because there were 2 in NY at one time.

    The media has a job, to sell advertising.  Unfortunately those other shootings don't mean squat to the moneyline.

    Don't fret though as one of the victims is suing Glock over the subway one.  This will be interesting.

    Yes and again, it's not national news unless it w an AR.

    We had a mass shooting in the subway.  That barely made any headlines 1 because nobody was killed 2 not an AR and the only reason it might still is because there were 2 in NY at one time.

    The media has a job, to sell advertising.  Unfortunately those other shootings don't mean squat to the moneyline.

    Don't fret though as one of the victims is suing Glock over the subway one.  This will be interesting.
    Well, I respectfully disagree. I care, and so do a majority of people, but banning/limiting handguns isn't going to happen any time soon so people are focusing on the deadly rifles used in a multitude of mass shootings, mainly at schools. Probably because an 18 year old can buy an AR, but not a handgun, unless of course it's a private sale, so that's the weapon of choice. And yeah, when people on here say AR, they mean any gun like that with that capability, not just an AR-15. You don't need to keep bringing it up. I think you know what we mean by this point.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    "Shootings that kill multiple people are so common in this country that they often do not even make national news. They are a regular feature of American life.

    Usually because it was with a handgun and not an AR.  The AR story is newsworthy and a handgun is not.

    My point is that shooting are so common now, most of them go unnoticed.  The Times listed the shooting this year that killed at least 3 people:

    2022, so far

    Jan. 19, Baltimore: A man who worked for a gun violence reduction program was killed in an East Baltimore neighborhood, along with two others. A fourth person was injured.

    Jan. 23, Milwaukee: Five men and a woman were found shot to death at a Park West neighborhood home. The police believe the attack targeted specific people.

    Jan. 23, Inglewood, Calif.: The same day, a shooting at a birthday party killed four people, including two sisters, and wounded a fifth. The shooting was gang-related, the mayor said.

    Jan. 29, St. Louis: A shooting near an intersection killed three young men and wounded a fourth. Police said they had no suspects.

    Feb. 5, Corsicana and Frost, Texas: A 41-year-old man murdered his mother, his stepfather, his sons and the son of his ex-girlfriend in an overnight shooting. The man later fatally shot himself.

    Feb. 28, Sacramento: A man shot dead his three daughters and their chaperone at a church during a court-approved visit. The children’s mother had a restraining order against the shooter, who killed himself.

    The Orlando nightclub shooting didn't make the national news? 

    Or the Charleston shooting? 

    Or Virginia Tech?

    Actually it does.  Look at Brian's list.  How many of them have you heard of?

    The ones you listed do have  more than 10 each dead and that will be on any headline if they died

    sentence 1 is not true. 

    paragraph 2: it did make national, international headlines even. I heard about it almost immediately. It was all over the place. 

    Paragraph 3: partially correct. yes, the media goes with the most sensationalistic stories. no question. however, they give the public what they want, and that is "the bigger the tragedy, the longer it stays in the news cycle". it has zero to do with the type of gun used. It has everything to do with how many people were injured/killed and who it was. it's obviously going to be seen as a much bigger tragedy if it's a bunch of kids minding their own business trying to learn how to spell. It's a crime that is harder for the general public to understand, hence why it stays around longer.

    The NYC subway shooting “barely” made headlines? You’re kidding, right?
    Still reading about it?  It's all but forgotten here in NY.

    Yes and again, it's not national news unless it w an AR.

    We had a mass shooting in the subway.  That barely made any headlines 1 because nobody was killed 2 not an AR and the only reason it might still is because there were 2 in NY at one time.

    The media has a job, to sell advertising.  Unfortunately those other shootings don't mean squat to the moneyline.

    Don't fret though as one of the victims is suing Glock over the subway one.  This will be interesting.
    The NYC subway shooting “barely” made headlines? You’re kidding, right?
    Still reading about it?  It's all but forgotten here in NY.
    that's not what you said, though. you said it "barely made any headlines", which is false.
