So you think bloodthirsty animals who mow down helpless and innocent Kindergarteners are going to give a d@mn about laws against owning guns, or restricting the purchase thereof? Do you honestly think scumbags who couldn't care less about laws against cold-blooded murder are going to respect gun control laws? Do you think they're just going to say to themselves, "Dang it! I wanted to massacre a bunch of innocent children, but it turns out it's illegal to own the gun I wanted to do that with. Never mind! It's wrong to break the law, after all." Of course not. The only people on this planet who are going to obey gun control laws are people who would never dream of using guns for anything but hunting and self-defense. All you're doing by passing gun control laws is decreasing the number of good people who can defend and thus increasing the the ratio of armed criminals to armed citizens. That, obviously, increase crime, increases murder rates, and increases school shootings. The solution is to put armed teachers and security guards with good training in public schools to repel attacks and protect children. Just thinking about this for five minutes makes that perfectly clear.

In the United States even if there was a ban on all guns for citizens, there would still be criminals that can get there hands on a gun and murder an inocent person with nothing to defend themselfs.

 @9RSH5PF from Washington  agreed…2yrs2Y

Statistics prove you right.

Informed Gun Control

I think it's more about if it was harder to obtain a weapon that could do such damage it would deter those obviously sick in the head people into doing it in the first place. Making it a process to obtain a gun won't stop tragedies from happening 100% of the time, but if even one child could be saved from it, I think it's worth trying to do something different. It would mean there are less guns on the street period, and those of sound mind and of proper age would have nothing to worry about in regard to obtaining a gun. I am very much pro 2nd amendment; I think a lot less crimes against women would happen if every woman carried a gun and had the knowledge to use it well. If every man who attacked a women knew that they were carrying it would deter them from attacking them.

#8 Engaged Domestic Policy Informed Gun Control

I strongly agree with you, people you use guns for murder or other malicious intents are criminals, and most probably would care getting a gun through illegal ways.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
