The type of discussion that I wanted to start in this thread is to get some quality input from gun owners like this guy... not the negative vitrole that I have seen in the posts above... get with the program guys.. take a look at this video... here is a gun owner who realized we have a problem and he makes sense.. things need to change and this guy makes perfect sense

Yes I realize MASS has some of the toughest gun laws in the land... we need national laws and this guys ideas make a lot more sense than what we have today...

Getting a gun for a young troubled man or woman should not be easy ... here is a tongue and cheek idea that questions the Right wing politicians who are in the NRA's pocket and who like they know best for Women's Reproductive rights...



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From a post that making the rounds on social media:

After yet another horrific gun massacre in the United States, how to stop these incidences from occurring is still being vehemently debated. It seems our politicians can’t agree on ANY sort of solution, because one side of the debate is too worried about getting elected, or reelected, or being shunned by the NRA.

However, there is currently a Facebook post being circulated that offers a pretty great solution, and it also points out how horribly women are treated and how many hurdles they have to jump through to have control over their own body.

The post reads:


“Or, hey, how about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion — mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he’s about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let’s close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.



I makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?”

moronic Facebook posts are not original ideas(sorry but that wasn't "tongue and cheek" it was dumb) ...here's a video...



I like it because it reflects what we've seen here...when pressed for an original thought...the folks cackling..."do something, we need to do something" can't come up with much in terms of thoughts beyond insults and the oft repeated "BS" that they pretend not to like...Mark Halperin, a journalist, apparently can't put a coherent thought together when it's not on a script in front of him, and Mika?...well...not much there...there...the look on the faces of Dean and whoever is sitting behind him when they pan the camera is precious, pick your jaws up off the table boys...

.Cooke also has a nice article regarding Hillary's recent posturing on the issue

Not a gun owner (except for a bb rifle).
I believe in the 2nd amendment.

As for these shooters, rules and regulations regarding gun ownership only serve to restrict the ability of those that should be able to obtain them. It will not serve as a deterrent for any of these mental-defectives to prevent them from doing harm on a large scale. Background checks will not weed out those that haven't been diagnosed for or are hiding their sociopathic issues.

How could any background check find out if someone hasn't been diagnosed as manic-depressive or schizophrenic? Will they find out if he/she isn't taking their meds?

If things continue down the path they seem to be heading right now (no changes see to be on the horizon), it may be more prudent to let everyone that wants to have a gun have one. With this would be the added responsibility of the gun owners and added punishments that would result from abusing the right to own the gun.

I am a legend in my own mind!
