As for bump stocks, that is nothing more than a dog whistle. Anyone can bump fire with nothing more than their belt loop. Those that actually know what they are doing had a good laugh over the "bump stock" thing, its a toy. WHen the left 1st went nuts over getting them banned my thought was sure, go ahead and ban them, they need a win LOL

That would be Transgender people.  

The latest mass school shooting was done by a Transgender person, and she killed 6 people.

There was a nightclub here in Colorado Springs where a Transgender person killed 5 people and shot another 19.  

In Colorado Springs, a transgender 19 year old person was arrested for having a manifesto where "they" planned to shoot up several schools and murder kids.  

Seems like there is a commonality between these murderers and planners of murder.  

They are all transgender.  Perhaps we need to outlaw transgenders, as it appears that those committing murders who are transgender is on the rise.  

We definitely need to start criminalizing transgender people because in the last several mass shootings in this country, the majority were committed by transgenders. 

Obviously there is a serious connection with people becoming transgender and then committing mass murder.

At Michigan State University just a few days back, that Murderer used a handgun and not an AR-15 Rifle.

Also more notable is the fact that a Democrat DA let him off on probation just recently FOR A GUN CHARGE and gave him probation rather than putting him in jail.

And that was despite the fact that the guy had a history of mental illness.  Then the guy goes and kills 3 people and not one leftist/communist like yourself wants to mention that fact.

Seems to me that the proximate cause of the deaths of the 3 individuals at the University is the Democrat DAs who let these violent criminals out of jail. 

There seems to be a pattern here of DEMOCRAT DAs letting violent criminals out of jail, where they then go and commit more violent crimes.  

Someone needs to pass a law outlawing DEMOCRAT DAs.

The smart response to the stupid person who wrote the above is this: 

And there are plenty of other mass shootings where an AR-15 is not used and a handgun is used instead or any other weapon.

Which of course the DS in California is too stupid to realize, let alone understand that.

(I realize what a moron I am to pose a serious question here, but I have the time to do it)

FWIW, Scalia wrote the SC opinion that pretty much controls the scope of Constitutional v. Unconstitutional gun laws today.   

Guns and gun violence are part of the fabric of our nation.   Some level of violence is not going to change any time soon.   We have a ton of common sense gun regulations now.  Background checks and the like.   Over half the population owns guns legally and never commits a crime of any sort, So I personally do not think additional regulations are the answer.

If someone in the US wants to commit suicide with a gun, and they are not already a felon, it is pretty easy to get a gun and do the deed.  This is an unfortunate side effect of citizen gun ownership.  We also have a huge quantity of illegal guns in the US.  So if a criminal wants to skip the background check process, and acquire a gun illegally, I suppose that is easy too, for the criminal types.   Mass shootings in places like schools get all sorts of press.  No simple gun regulation is going to stop these sorts of shootings.  It is already illegal to shoot up a school of course.  Some regulations on the edges might be useful, but not much, in my opinion.  We need better mental health care maybe, and the schools, parents, kids and everyone else need to be vigilant.   The FBI spells it out here:  https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/stats-services-publications-school-shooter-school-shooter

So why are gun laws so popular on the left and gun rights so sacred to the right, especially in the immediate aftermath of a shooting?   I think this is just another example of extreme polarization causing otherwise day-to-day rational people to take positions that are not particularly helpful when addressing a problem, but which are certainly calculated to piss off the "other side" the most.   I say "calculated" intentionally.   The left would ban all sorts of weapons not because it is going to save kids, but because it pisses off the right.  Any sort of regulation, no matter how rational is a non-starter on the right.  Does the right not care about school safety?  Of course they do, but a staunchly defended and entirely inflexible stance on any gun regulation whatsoever really does piss off the left.   I see it here between you and Rich or you and Greg anytime guns come up.   There is no middle ground, so no progress of any sort can ever be made.  J

DSs don't really care about numbers, and costs, they think that money just gets printed by the gov't without consequences.
