Negative, we have plenty of those money sucking leeches. Death row, kill em all. That makes more space. Bring back the chain gang working on our roads. Prison won't be so much fun anymore, and that will also make more space.

You got that right, JG.. I'm for making jail time,as freaking miserable as possible..
If it was up to me. We'd have the cleanest roads, in the world.. And not one single
Louisiana pot hole. They'd be raising their own food. Running their own farm.
And pulling weeds with their butt cheeks.. By the time they got outta jail. "If and
when. society thinks their no longer a threat." "In my world, there would be no specific
jail time".. You'd have to earn your way out". But if you did, You'd be one heck of a farmer,
a mechanic, heavy equipment operator. Or any other number of things to benefit society....
And their ain't gonna be no second, third, fourth or 25th time. Three strikes.. And I find a wall...

I would be willing to give up all of my guns (and I have a lot!) if I knew another person would never die by gun violence again.

In fact, I am willing to take a chance on the theory raised by the left that this works. I will put my guns in escrow, and the left puts $100,000 in escrow for each gun I own. If no one ever dies from gun violence, they keep my guns. If someone dies (in other words, their theory failed), then I get my guns back plus the money.

Anyone willing to put your money where your mouth is?

I will worry about gun control when I see the feds actually acting serious abouit it, example #1

If you lied to buy a firearm, fear not the feds.

Your chances of being prosecuted by the Justice Department for falsifying information to illegally buy a gun are almost zero.

Reviews by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in fiscal 2017 led to 112,000 gun-purchase denials because people were in forbidden categories, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) investigated 12,700 of those cases.

How many of the investigated cases resulted in prosecutions?

Twelve.

That’s 0.09 percent of the cases ATF investigated.

I absolutely hate the “ the brain isn’t fully developed until 25” argument.

It’s just another excuse for people to extend their adolescence and delay becoming an adult and to justify immature behavior.

A few hundred years ago people under 25 were fighting war, conquering countries and running enterprises. Turns out they did all that without fully developed Brains……


I made different decisions at 25 than I did at 18 because Of life experiences and learning from my mistakes, not because of brain development

And none of them were the coke snorting son of a sitting president who admitted he lied on the form.

Well you may hate it but it is true. Yes at 18 they know better. Sometimes knowing better doesn't keep them from doing it but either life experience or more maturity might. Who knows that's all debatable I suppose. The only reason I bring it up is due to research of the brain as it pertains to education. When I taught school and worked on my masters brain development was a topic. Does it apply to these situations? I would hope not, but you never know what is going through the mind of someone that age. At least there's research that backs that sort of thing up unlike arguments that somehow AR's are assault rifles and that the rounds magically blow people up and more bang for the buck as some have put it.

Just for the record I'm a 2A staunch supporter. I have a safe full of guns and ammo. 3 AR's, multiple handguns, rifles and shotguns. I am, however, open to common sense solutions that make sense to help mitigate more Uvalde's from happening. To think nothing is going to happen is naive. In my opinion it's probably better to get out in front of this before the nut bag left starts banning things altogether. That's where it's going.

If you're 18 years old, and don't understand that murdering innocent people is wrong, then you need to be locked up the rest of your life.

Seeing the headlines concerning banning of certain types of firearms and calibers it leads me to believe appeasement is not the answer. We have gone from tightening the process to outright calls for bans in just a few days. The left is not wanting a deal short of disarming the public. To think otherwise is not realistic.

You very well could be right. I have seen some willing to compromise and accept changes short of banning, but I know that when we start down this path that they won't be happy until all guns are banned and confiscated. They always refer to Canada, Australia, Europe etc as a model to follow. I don't know why they have to go straight to banning. I don't get that logic. I don't understand why they don't want to get to the "why" these things happen. Clearly we aren't the same society that we were when I was in high school and my shotgun and rifle hanging on my gun rack in my truck in the school parking lot and my principal had his shotgun and deer rifle in his office at school. Until you start solving the why it doesn't really make a lot of difference what you ban. There are other tools always available. The copy cat trend worries me and the one upping copy cat certainly gets my attention

I'm not willing to do a single thing to appease these dirt bag liberals.....

Here's what I'll buy into. Show me a reasonable law that would have actually done something to have stopped any of the recent tragedies at any of the mass shootings in the last few years. Here's a little hint...gun bans would not have stopped any of them. Extended background checks would not have stopped any of them. Waiting periods would not have stopped any of them, and neither would raising the age to legally buy a gun. An outright ban on all guns and confiscation from the public would start a 2nd civil war. So, you tell me. What gun legislation would have stopped any of this?
