America's Gun Violence

This is some insane shite.....

A leader, a government,  a country that knows how to be sensible and do the right thing......

More people were killed in Chistchurch by that one guy in a couple of hours then are murdered in ALL of NZ in a whole year.
Read that again America
And then again
And let's be sure to do NOTHING in regards to stricter gun control.

Yeah I will never understand. I mean there are a lot of issues that need fixed to stop this...but the first and easiest step should be separating killing machines from people. The next is to ensure ownership of other, lesser weapons is well tracked and understood. Along with that, strict standards on how people must control these weapons and very strict penalties should you not.

Then you can go after the mental health issue and hate issues.

I know the pic is used to grab attention but it always bothers me when the topic is about a specific firearm and not a one can be spotted in the bunch.

That is an interesting point.  Most, if not all, in that photo just look like your run of the mill hunting rifle and shotgun.  No AR-15s in a photo promoting banning AR-15s, weird...?

Where does it state that it is a photo promoting banning specifically AR-15s?

Doesn’t get any more “responsible” than this.

https://apple.news/ATFVSo-l2Q3WZ_UNohEZy1A

The gun was locked in his car.  How the kid knew that is beyond me.  The kid has a screw loose.  Can't you see that?

Does he have a screw loose or was he just another pissed off pre-teen with access to a gun? Is locked in a car an acceptable means of firearm storage? Department policy when not with the firearm?

Let us know the answers after you find them out.

Sorry, I’m not your google machine. And I read the full article when I posted it. Maybe one of the “responsible” gun owners on here can speak to whether a firearm locked ina car is an approved, legal or acceptable method of safe firearm storage?
 

you're not his google machine? didn't you ask the original question? That's pretty rich. LOL

That he did lol

You’re a gun owner, right? Is storing them in a locked vehicle an acceptable and “responsible” firearm storage method? There, I asked you a direct question. LOL.
 

If you don’t have some sort of trigger lock on it especially with kids then it is a no go for me.  But how messed up is your kid that they broke into your police vehicle because you took away their play station?! Can a policeman lock up their work firearm?  (I have no clue, honest question)

In relatively sane Sweden I believe police officers are not allowed to bring their weapon home, unless they apply to do so for a specific reason.

@Spiritual_Chaos on a different note, what is the most famous and/or beautiful national park in Sweden?

Sarek maybe?





(Not that knowledgeable about our nationalparks)

The mass murder in 1996 was committed with an  AR-15.

But the change in laws in Australia did not apply only to AR-15s.

And the discussed changes in laws in New Zealand do not specifically only apply to AR-15s.

So SC is correct to question the comment made.

That's fine but the title clearly calls out a single weapon.  

The caption and the pic is what I was getting at.  Just going with what was originally posted.

It's always interesting on what people get out of things.
