Haven't been near a computer today. Saw a tweet referencing two new school shootings today. That true?
Yes. However, both gunfights and massacres will be eliminated when we eliminate the gun free zones. Active shooters only prey on the weak, they won't even attempt a run at anyone who might be able to defend themselves.
So much of what drives gun sales are racially-charged presumptions about the “non-white other” — The idea that someone who isn’t white is automatically dangerous. Ironically, it was this thought process that got an unarmed black teen named Trayvon Martin killed, and let his racist murderer, George Zimmerman, walk.
The proposed executive action aims to impose background checks on individuals who buy from dealers who sell a significant number of guns each year. The current federal statute dictates that those who are “engaged in the business” of dealing firearms need to obtain a federal license — and, therefore, conduct background checks — but exempts anyone “who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby....
So begs the question....how will they know?

I sincerely hope you just forgot to make that comment purple. Gunfights and massacres might be MINIMIZED when we eliminate gun free zones. These school shootings are symptomatic of a sick culture and nothing we can do short of healing our culture will minimize those killings, but we will ALWAYS have crazies willing to kill others out of hate, or desire for fame, or just plain madness. What we CAN do by arming ourselves is to minimize the casualties when someone goes nuts with a gun, or a knife, or a hammer - or even an automobile, but don't let's fool ourselves by ever thinking we can eliminate such evils no matter what we do; that sort of thinking makes us no better than the anti-gunners who want to "solve" such violence with more laws and wishful thinking.
The constant push and shove for what they want regardless of law is all they really know. Self defense is built in naturally. BA had a good post to!To the anti 2A liberals "common sense gun laws" are laws that lead to total disarmament of the American people. IMO anybody who doesn't recognize that is a fool.
Good post for the anti crowd. I doubt you'd get through the constant no ones home ring though.Those who wish to see guns banned and confiscated must realize by wanting this there will be millions of workers out of work and with the social programs we have pushed over the limit we can't afford anymore strain on an already dying middle class. Then again they could care less if people lose their jobs as its all for the children.
"There are ways to protect our children & protect our rights," says POTUS calling for new gun controls. "Don't pretend that there aren't."
Did you point out how many LEOs would be needed? And how they'd have to go door to door, cause they don't know where all the gun owners and weapons are. And how weapons would be moved anticipating those searches. And how searches would have to continue for years, on EVERYBODY.
I would respond to this by saying:"There are ways to protect our children & protect our rights," says POTUS calling for new gun controls. "Don't pretend that there aren't."

No purple.
I contend that these shooters are cowards, nothing more than walking suicides, waiting for the opportunity to go out "in a blaze of glory" in their feeble minds. Take away the sheep for them to shoot and the "active shooter" will go away, they'll go back to suicide before they risk the embarrassment of being bested by their marks.
There might be an uptick in "death by cop" incidents, but heck, the cops getting a little more target practice never hurts.
I challenge you to make it your life's work to get the gun free zones eliminated, then I'll wait for you to prove me wrong, (but you won't.)
Mr. Blackhawk2001, I'm sorry you don't agree with my opinion. I will say though that I am offended by your inference that my thinking has a similarity to that of anti-gunners. That was incorrect and unnecessary.
