    Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

    Question: Has anyone here attended a major NRA convention? What's the security like?

      I think that’s a fairly common phrase for someone walking around with a shirt but no pants. I think there might even be a comedian who has a bit on it, but I don’t recall who.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          This ain't ever gonna end, people. Well, it will end the people that get killed in mass shootings. All those Parkland kids are gonna wonder about all the stories their grandparents told them of how back in the 1960s, teenagers and young adults in college were a force that changed the world. They're going to think grampy and gam-gam have gone senile, because they are going to wonder why their action today change very little. What we've seen, like the actions in Florida in the days after the Parkland shooting, are all she is going to write.

          Unless we see a wave of new legislators the likes of which we've never seen. If thinking people show up at the polls and vote for a real change, maybe, just maybe, something more will be done.

          Sadly, we don't even enforce well the laws that are already on the books. People like the Waffle House shooter's dad. People who attempt to take weapons onto planes "mistakenly." Felons who attempt to possess a firearm in violation of the terms and conditions of their release. We don't prosecute these kinds of people because if some D.A out there was prosecuting as aggressively as he or she could every last gun law on the books, they probably realize they would eventually be a target of the NRA as an over-zealous and over-reaching liberal politician who is grandstanding and not enforcing.

          So we're probably not going to effectively change the laws or enforce what we already can anytime soon. As Brian Kelly reminds me as I yearn for the days when an 8-5 season represented abject failure, we should all just Get Used To It.
          This is so key. So key. For real. THIS is what we really need to start doing, along with some tweaks to the current laws.

            So out of the last 20 mass shootings, how many have been preventable using laws on the books?

              The last one, IMO for sure. With tweaks that I would like to see done? A few more (the whole mental health thing).

                  Which is the exact opposite of most Looney Toons. They always have pants, but rarely a shirt.

                          Illinois keeping the guns in the first place, per their laws, in this case. They failed to fully enforce the law, IMO.

                          The father should be charged with accessory (or whatever applicable charge can be brought) in this murder case. This is the stuff that drives me nuts. "Hey, I'll just give my mentally ill kid some guns." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

                          This type of thing is the FIRST step to better gun control. Enforce that stuff with all the might.

                              They wouldn't have given the dad the guns, who then gave them to his son.

                                They were required to give the dad the guns from all reports I’ve read.
