The GOP-controlled Senate refusal to pass new gun control measures came weeks after the Washington Post reported that suspected terrorists had successfully purchased more than 2,000 guns from American dealers between 2004 and 2014, even though law enforcement is notified whenever someone on the FBI’s watchlist attempts to purchase a firearm.

Also on Thursday, the Senate failed to pass another bill that would have expanded background checks to gun show and online firearms sales. The measure would also prevents convicted felons and the mentally ill from having access to weapons.

there has been gobs and gobs of bills to regulate and control assault style weapons introduced and bandied about for many many years now and all have been detoured or whatever. that's why i'm advocating the extreme measure of an executive order.

Criminals don't obey laws, so obviously thousands of criminals are walking around with nukes.

There are thousands of responsible nuclear weapon owners throughout the world that have not used their nukes to harm a single person.

So c'mon NRA, get with it already!

the SC was able to figure out how to ban private ownership of nukes and still not tread on the 2nd amendment. i think they can do the same with assault style weapons. and more really, next step though. but yeah, close the gun show loopholes and ban assault style weapons and i would think that would be a profound step in the right direction and still maintain the 2nd amendment.

Barry-xlovecam · 06-13-2016, 10:25 AM

Sorry if this offends someone's ill conceived (tortured) reading of the 2nd Amendment -- there is reasonable cause to deny their purchase -- we are at war. Their lives are not at risk (usually) ... Not selling them arms is risk-avoidance. However, there should be a right of appeal to show cause if they are US citizens.

Quote:

But in the United States, known and suspected terrorists are allowed to purchase firearms under federal law.

"Membership in a terrorist organization does not prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives under current federal law," the Government Accountability Office concluded in 2010. The law prohibits felons, fugitives, drug addicts and domestic abusers from purchasing a firearm in the United States. But people on the FBI's consolidated terrorist watchlist ? typically placed there when there is "reasonable suspicion" that they are a known or suspected terrorist ? can freely purchase handguns or assault-style rifles.

And, as the GAO found, a number of them do: Between 2004 and 2014, suspected terrorists attempted to purchase guns from American dealers at least 2,233 times. And in 2,043 of those cases ? 91 percent of the time ? they succeeded. There are about 700,000 people on the watch-list ? a point that civil libertarians have made to underscore that many on the list may be family members or acquaintances of people with potential terrorist connections.

I am not saying there is not a prob going on with people getting weapons they should not have but we need to look at more than just guns and try to find out how and why this keeps happening.

Bad people are going to do bad things period. Bombs are illegal yet bad people still can get them or make them.

That isn't the argument at hand. It's controlling who can buy them. Should some punk kid with emotional issues, who was investigated and interviewed by the fbi twice be able to buy guns and assault rifles legally? No. The counter that they 'will all buy illegally' instead goes out the window once you make the seller of the weapons just as accountable on illegal use with illegal sales.

The genie is out of the bottle. A ban means turn in your AR's. Legal responsible owners all turn them in. Great. Meanwhile the crooked and demented and those not quite right in the head all flout the new law. Yay.

Oh what the hell, try it. Of course law enforcement will have to expend a lot of energy and focus to get even most of the law abiding US citizens to part with their heavier weapons I would think. Most if not all will find it unconstitutional and do a "from my cold dead hands" type of thing.

i don't think a ban would need for current owners to turn in their weapons. the statistics show that mass shooters typically buy their assault style weapons in the weeks prior to their assaults. it seems to me, based on the stats like these, that a ban alone, a buying moratorium, would go a long way towards curbing mass shootings in the USA.

The real problem is mental health. If you take away a certain weapon, people will just find a new weapon. There is something about mental health in the USA that is a problem. Religion sure doesn't help.

a new study from Duke University, John Hopkins University, and the University of Southern Florida shows that there is very little correlation between gun crime and mental illness. It goes to show that those pushing the blame onto the mentally ill are not only unfair, but often a tactic used to pigeonhole the multiple problems associated with gun violence into one faction.

?This is one of the hardest distinctions to make,? said Emma McGinty, a professor at John Hopkins and lead author of the study. ?There could be emotional regulation issues related to anger, for example, which are a separate phenomenon. There could be underlying substance use issues. There could be a whole host of other risk factors for violence going on.?

Although violent crime statistics were high among the mentally ill, The Washington Post noted that those with a diagnosis were actually less likely to carry a gun. Arrest records ranked those with illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression lower than those without, and those who had committed suicide were half as likely to use a gun.

Jeffrey Swanson, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences from Duke and one of the study?s researchers, noted that pushing the blame onto one group of individuals was dangerous and doesn?t solve the problem at hand.

Everyday people should have special training and a permit to own something that shoots 13 rounds a second. The permit should be free and good for life, unless you fuck up, then its revoked with the AR-15.

Unfortunately there are over 3 million AR-15's in circulation in the U.S. already, huge black market after any regulation.

The point is for owners to be documented and have training, not to stop distribution or confiscate from current owners.

Barry-xlovecam · 06-13-2016, 12:49 PM

Well, the alternative would be armed soldiers in public gatherings of more than 50 people. Trained guards who have military discipline might work -- but the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits this to federal troops but a state's National Guard can be mobilized.

The Guard's training and discipline is less than optimum. But you cannot put a cop on every corner. I read there were 600 to 800 people in that club -- a target of opportunity shooting gallery for a psycho-terrorist ISIS wannabe

Good thing he was taken out before he killed more innocents.

If the perpetrator has a knife, it's harder to kill people than have a gun or two with large magazine clips.

I agree with you about mental health, so why not very thorough checks before a gun license is issued?

That's assuming a gun license is required. Or is it just dogs that need to be licensed?

I read this mother fucker in orlando was a fucking security guard too. The point is we need to make it harder for mass murderers to kill people. Somehow. It's really fucked up because the FBI knew about the guy and still he was able to buy guns. I know they need proof to make charges stick but it's still fucked up.

Paul Markham · 06-13-2016, 02:06 PM

Facts.

In 2010, guns took the lives of 31,076 Americans in homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings. This is the equivalent of more than 85 deaths each day and more than three deaths each hour.

73,505 Americans were treated in hospital emergency departments for non-fatal gunshot wounds in 2010.

Firearms were the third-leading cause of injury-related deaths nationwide in 2010, following poisoning and motor vehicle accidents.

Between 1955 and 1975, the Vietnam War killed over 58,000 American soldiers ? less than the number of civilians killed with guns in the U.S. in an average two-year period.

In the first seven years of the U.S.-Iraq War, over 4,400 American soldiers were killed.
Almost as many civilians are killed with guns in the U.S., however, every seven weeks.

In 2010, unintentional firearm injuries caused the deaths of 606 people.

From 2005-2010, almost 3,800 people in the U.S. died from unintentional shootings.

Over 1,300 victims of unintentional shootings for the period 2005?2010 were under 25 years of age.

And the logic of the pro-gun crew is we can't stop all these so let's not try to slow it down. The accidental shootings are the scariest. A lot of people don't respect what a gun is. How many times have we read of a child shooting someone by accident while playing with a gun?

Some people believe the #1 issue in the coming election is their right to have a gun and all the risks attached to it. Obviously, one has to be hiding from the real world to think that. America has far bigger problems than the right to have a big gun and lots of ammo.

Barry-xlovecam · 06-13-2016, 02:39 PM

Well, we definitely know who the gun-nuts and the wannabe terrorists will vote for -- if they can vote

It is easier to buy an assault rifle here that to buy a dog license. You don't even have to renew your long gun license. If you had to pay a $10 renewal fee and file a license report -- a lot of stolen guns might be accounted for -- [x] firearm was stolen -- no fee. At least we could track such things? Oh Yeah, $500 fine and a federal misdemeanor for filing a false report. This goes toward firearms illegally possessed by criminals mainly.

Firearms are a regulated industry and most regulated items have license fees. Make the license fee a tax-credit item but you have to pay to stay legal

Of course, that is a year (annually) after the fact (the sale). This won't directly help mass shootings as they are not planed that far in advance -- they are usually impulse actions -- the straw that broke the camel's back (no pun intended).

I'd like to know the definition of what some people call "assault" weapons. From my understanding this guy had access to fully automatic weapons which require a special license which he had because he was a security officer. He was also on the FBI watchlist. I see a problem with the FBI allowing this to happen. Obviously they were alerted when he purchased the weapon.

ruff · 06-14-2016, 04:48 AM

There is basically no defense against someone that is willing to die in a terrorist attack. No matter what weapon they choose to use. Solution? Bio-mechanical weapons associated with the owner only. They cannot operate in urban environments except legal gun ranges. In the wild, only dedicated hunting grounds. Hunting licenses integrated into the operating systems. Using an Individual IP address for ID we can track the owner, the gun and the spam. Remote destruct mechanism would allow authorities to detonate weapon if user turned out to be a fucking prick. We can take the best ideas of the Nazis, the NRA and turn this killing problem around and control it. We can let good citizen's have their guns and blow the fucking idiots into oblivion when we decide we don't like them anymore. I bet if I passed this idea along to Trump, he would suck my dick on Pennsylvania Blvd. He's just that kind of guy.

I'd just like to see background checks actually leading to certain people not being allowed to get their hands on any kind of gun, period. All too often I'm hearing talk of people in the US who obviously have no business having one or having access to one being able to obtain a gun or guns, freely, even though their past track record is fraught with red flags.

As far as a ban goes, you're talking about a limited ban where only new prospective buyers are denied access to AR's, not a complete ban meaning all AR's everywhere are immediately banned. Although I'm a bit skeptical as to how something like that would fly in the States it is a step, and your country is definitely headed for legislating some type of step such as that, or one like it.

Something's gotta give with the guns.

No matter what weapon they choose to use. Solution? Bio-mechanical weapons associated with the owner only. They cannot operate in urban environments except legal gun ranges. In the wild, only dedicated hunting grounds. Hunting licenses integrated into the operating systems. Using an Individual IP address for ID we can track the owner, the gun and the spam. Remote destruct mechanism would allow authorities to detonate weapon if user turned out to be a fucking prick. We can take the best ideas of the Nazis, the NRA and turn this killing problem around and control it. We can let good citizen's have their guns and blow the fucking idiots into oblivion when we decide we don't like them anymore. I bet if I passed this idea along to Trump, he would suck my dick on Pennsylvania Blvd. He's just that kind of guy. __________________ CryptoFeeds

Trained guards who have military discipline might work -- but the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits this to federal troops but a state's National Guard can be mobilized. The Guard's training and discipline is less than optimum. But you cannot put a cop on every corner. I read there were 600 to 800 people in that club -- a target of opportunity shooting gallery for a psycho-terrorist ISIS wannabe Good thing he was taken out before he killed more innocents.

Barry-xlovecam It's 42 Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Global Posts: 18,083	Well, we definitely know who the gun-nuts and the wannabe terrorists will vote for -- if they can vote It is easier to buy an assault rifle here that to buy a dog license. You don't even have to renew your long gun license. If you had to pay a $10 renewal fee and file a license report -- a lot of stolen guns might be accounted for -- [x] firearm was stolen -- no fee. At least we could track such things? Oh Yeah, $500 fine and a federal misdemeanor for filing a false report. This goes toward firearms illegally possessed by criminals mainly. Firearms are a regulated industry and most regulated items have license fees. Make the license fee a tax-credit item but you have to pay to stay legal Of course, that is a year (annually) after the fact (the sale). This won't directly help mass shootings as they are not planed that far in advance -- they are usually impulse actions -- the straw that broke the camel's back (no pun intended).

GFED Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: May 2002 Posts: 8,098	I'd like to know the definition of what some people call "assault" weapons. From my understanding this guy had access to fully automatic weapons which require a special license which he had because he was a security officer. He was also on the FBI watchlist. I see a problem with the FBI allowing this to happen. Obviously they were alerted when he purchased the weapon.
