Gun lobby 1, common sense 0

Florida passes bill allowing more armed teachers. Solution for campus shootouts- give guns to everyone. This country is truly going backwards. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6984053/Florida-teachers-allowed-carry-guns-classroom.html Why can’t they just make buying guns harder just like every where else on Earth?

Florida teachers will be allowed to carry guns in the classroom

Because we don’t want to be like Venezuela.

US does have as deep a problem of corruption as Venezuela. US also has a stronger constitution that prevents it from becoming a dictatorial democracy like Venezuela. So your argument is more apt if coming from someone in France or Uk were to say, we don’t want guns because we don’t want to become the US.

Oath Atinlay2 May 2, 2019

You sound like you aren’t from the US. Nobody wants to be like France or the UK right now, not even Venezuela

Because only letting bad guys have guns would be safer.

I am not even conservative but I believe gun banning is wrong. If you like other parts of the world, you are free to join them. If everyone is armed, anyone will think twice before doing anything stupid. Look at Texas

Tableau krxi15 May 2, 2019

Dumb. Forget thinking about doing it, If noone has guns, then noone can do anything stupid.

Intuit jirababy May 2, 2019

Plenty of places in the world forbid gun ownership. Consider moving there? The gun debate is so political I think we should just keep the opinion to yourself and let the voting do the talking

I'm sure the criminals will comply with the law when obtaing a weapon

Yea, no point in laws. The criminals won't comply.

OpenTable Meliodas May 2, 2019

No point in laws that only serve to punish lawful citizens engaged in lawful activity. The common sense thing to do is to pass constitutional laws that only target criminals.

Microsoft WHAM May 2, 2019

Common sense, outlaw guns , so only outlaws own guns, wow, please do tell us more common sense

Lol msft spends more lobbying money by itself compared to the entire firearms industry

Wow blind is overrun by right wing nut jobs. Fascinating.

Intuit jirababy May 2, 2019

Move to China if you prefer no wing.

Let's say you're a county firefighter in Mountain View. You can't afford to live among the FANG employees and need to find a cheaper house which you find in Oakland or East Palo Alto. You happen to have young kids in the house. Would owning a gun in such a neighborhood for safety make you a right wing nut job? GTFO with your name calling.

~30% of Americans have a criminal record and there is no reason to believe they don’t have guns. We only restrict felons from having guns.

Did you know that more than 90% of all the guns that caused the gun problem in Mexico come from the US? I have been in one street shooting back in Mexico, the least I would have wanted in that situation is more people with guns. Now that I think about it, I don’t think my chances of being near another shooting have decreased in the US.

Because only dictatorships want people to own guns, right? /s

Australia banned guns and it seemed to have worked out for them. New Zealand just banned guns. For self defense no one needs anything more serious than a pistol with 2 rounds. Just ban the weapons that can fire hundred rounds in a few min

Oath Atinlay2 May 2, 2019

Now Australia has more guns than they did before the ban. It didn’t work: https://bongino.com/did-gun-control-really-reduce-violence-in-australia/ Also New Zealand just had a mass shooting where 50 people died. Followed by the copycat in CA, where a good guy with a gun stopped it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_mosque_shootings Why did 50 people die? Because there was no “good guy with a gun” to stop it. Also New Zealand has a very weak punishment system. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/4/5/18296134/new-zealand-mosque-shooting-life-sentence

@net worth: Let enough time pass and we'll know. When was it - last month or so? Just because we haven't seen tyranny except on TV like yesterday, should we stop history classes in school too?
