New York has by all accounts. You have to show your ability to fire a gun 😂 before getting one. And disclose your social media accounts. | |

Another six dead on 22:39 - Jul 4 with 2844 views | jacaranda | Are there any reports on the dead? Is this a terrorist thing or a nut job? Or the Russians? Unloading an automatic weapon into a crowd and only 6 dead? Sounds like a cia plot | | | |

Seems the cops are looking for a lone gunman, white aged 18-20. That may have changed. | |

Change it to what? U.K. have knife laws, doesn’t stop someone obtaining a knife and stabbing someone though. Let’s say a law was brought in 2 weeks ago to whatever your chosen law is - explain how that law would have stopped this. Then maybe you will see that this continuous moaning about laws everytime a gun gets used won’t change, and can’t change the problem. | |

Another six dead on 01:04 - Jul 5 with 2745 views | jacaranda | So nut job then. 2nd amendment, I believe was meant to allow people to protect their liberty at a time of much less in liberty . The militia part , local people looking after their area, was always a good thing and in those days you had to be armed . Old school good ideas haven't been updated because of underlying political agenda. So what was a crowd pleasing amendment initiate has now become a liability due to the lack of intelligence? in their bonkers population and the corruption asked control of their government/ funders America could seriously kick off internally | | | |

It still has its place, much of the reasons it was introduced are still valid today, maybe even more so. Some people abuse it in obviously, and things like this happen - but that has always been the case even back in those days. Do you trust governments implicitly? After living in Victoria for a while I know I certainly don’t, what was inflicted on the people was bordering on Chinese dictatorship. People being attacked in the street by Government paid groups. Look at what is going on in Russia. It’s not a million miles away from the imagination to see something like that happening in America. Especially with the more fat left policies trying to be put in place like an abolishment of the police force. Look at what happened with the riots, a whole year of people burning down people’s homes and businesses, attacking others if they didn’t agree with you - which again is another far left thing which is starting to be fed into society and even at Government level with Bill C-16 which could be the tip of the iceberg. I don’t have any issues with the second amendment really, I understand it’s purpose and it’s importance to people. But I do have issues with the mental health epidemic, lack of prosperity and decreased investment in policing. All of the above have nose dived with this Democrat administration which of course was called long before it happened. There are little things you can do with regards to extra checks and even tighter gun laws, but as Tummer says Chicago is one of the strictest places there is, Democrat run, and it still happens. There is a myth that the second amendment is only protected by Republicans. There are more Democrats in the US than Republicans… yet the second amendment is still there. Go figure. | |

Another six dead on 08:08 - Jul 5 with 2653 views | onehunglow | Change the laws so that is it not nationwide legal to carry lethal weapons around as if they are an accessory. Maybe then,address the culture of the USA regarding guns. There is simply deeply amiss and the fact that excuses are being made here staggers. If the gun laws do not require amending ,then maybe America need to ask why this is so prevalent. Or maybe ,it is us who are wrong and we should go down the America route as we seem to be wrong to even question their Gun Laws. Maybe ,we should let them get on with it. | |

Ok so let’s say you brought in that law last week. How does the threat of prison for carrying a gun…. deter someone who clearly isn’t deterred by prison to the point he would kill six people with it? If he’s happy enough running the risk of prison for mass murder, I’m pretty sure he will be fine with your new law about carrying a weapon. That’s the thing when people talk about these laws. They talk as if it would do anything. The guns are already there, as soon as you apply it to a past situation and walk it through - you still don’t stop it happening. To prove that point. Illinois where this happened already has a law you mentioned. There is no open carry so it is illegal to carry a weapon like an accessory like you describe - it still happened. | |

What? So you have to prove you are capable of using the weapon befor getting one. yeah, that'll help. The social media thing is a good idea though, it'll probably show if you are a screaming psycho! | |

"The guns are already there".So it is too late then. We or rather they allow this to happen as it's not really something we can do something about. | |

He's said the guns are already there again has he? maybe it's just as well they didn't think like that back when it was common to carry swords and bow and arrows in public. Apparently there are 22000 people roaming around who failed to attend court, they are already there so maybe we should just let them get on with it too. | |

No, that's not the point of the social media review. It logically should be, but this idea comes from a political party has shown too much eagerness to immediately corrupt any of the power we let them give themselves. | |

It’s scary people aren’t scared. Nobody should have the right anywhere in the USA to carry assault rifles,for instance ,not have a firearm in public. If somebody has a gun,then leave it at home or surrender it . Maybe,as they are there,then they should hand them in to be destroyed in an amnesty Nah, it is the sheer love of the firearm that kills,literally . | |

But my question was “what” would you do? Doing “anything” doesn’t mean you have done something effective. | |

Not at all, 22,000 people with names and addresses you can find and track down. Now compare that with 400 million guns. What do you plan to do about it? Until you have a suggestion that is workable and realistic then you are just talking rubbish for the sake of it. Again, doing “anything” doesn’t mean you have done something worthwhile. | |
