More mayhem from the Madlands

[Bricktop]

Hello Bricktop it's coming on winter in Adelaide.

It is winter and it's FREEEEEEEEEZING...



13C today if we're lucky, and constant rain.



I'm wearing a fur lined hoody!

No offence was taken. I just didn't understand the relevance to the "debate" is all.



Let's just say I've had experience with crime, criminals and guns.

Yeah no worries. I'm simply coming from a self defence stance. It's easy for people that live in countries with relatively no crime to condemn those wishing to bear arms. I've had political experience with criminals in government. The lowly criminals are not part of my circle.



Good on ya!

The murderous mayhem that continues in the US and other places is not confined to "lowly criminals".  The lunatic that shot up the children in school, and the lunatic who killed a Doctor because of "back pain" were not "criminals" until after they committed their crime with AR 15's the law and government allowed to them to acquire because they had a "right to bear arms".

There is no reason whatsoever that an American civilian should own assault rifles or machine guns. 100% correct. It's ludicrous to say the least. This is an obvious flaw in the second amendment. Most adult Americans these days are mere children that have grown up with a Hollywood movie mentality. Hoorah!

That kid who shot up the school was nuts. So was the kid in the Buffalo, New York shooting.

California is one of the country's most politically liberal states — and as it pertains to the Second Amendment, no state places more restrictions on its residents.



So, under the simple logic espoused by many Democratic lawmakers and gun control advocates, California should experience significantly less gun crime than other states, especially conservative ones.



But according to a new report from the FBI, the exact opposite is true when it comes to one specific gun violence statistic in America.



In the report, published this year, the bureau assessed that California led all states in the number of "active shooter incidents" in 2021, accounting for six of the 61 total incidents.



The data may come as a surprise to the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety, which ranked the Golden State number one in the country for "gun law strength."



"California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and leads the nation in having the most comprehensive system for removing firearms from those who are legally prohibited from having a gun. With Gun Sense Candidate Gavin Newsom as governor, the state has enacted new gun safety legislation," the progressive organization reported.



Don't miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now.

Among the laws on the books that make California the nation's foremost gun-restrictive state are universal background checks, bans on so-called "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines, waiting periods for gun purchases, red flag laws, a good-cause requirement to obtain a concealed carry permit, and a number of gun-carry bans on public grounds, according to Breitbart, which first reported the active shooter incident data.

The US has been gorging itself on guns for well over a century.



Simply standing up in a parliament or congress and proclaiming strict new gun control laws on a nation awash with them won't solve anything, as the above example shows.



Making something illegal does not eradicate it, as human history tells us all too often.



America needs a national will to firstly accept it HAS a problem, and the only solution is to take all and every means possible to eradicate all firearms from its midst.



It needs to stop hiding behind outdated anachronistic parchments and recognise that Constitutions are not holy edicts from a greater being, and are only relevant to the time period in which they were created.

Then why do it. Gun control won't work in the States.

Gun control works anywhere, if it has public and community support and political will and commitment. Outlawing ANYTHING without the means of enforcing the law is asinine.



America needs to understand that simply passing a law won't make the world a better place. It needs a complete revision of its culture and embrace of violence as a valid option.

It's working in California. They enforce the shit too.

The House on June 8 voted to pass several bills including the "Protecting Our Kids" Act, a Democrat-sponsored omnibus package of gun control legislation. The bill will now head to the Senate, where it is all but doomed to fail to overcome the 60-vote filibuster threshold.



The bills were split into several pieces and confirmed in bipartisan votes; the legislation included various previously-introduced gun control bills.



The first of these would ban the sale of "any semi-automatic centerfire rifle or semi-automatic centerfire shotgun that has, or has the capacity to accept, an ammunition feeding device with a capacity exceeding 5 rounds" to citizens below the age of 21. Currently, anyone 18 and over can buy such a weapon.



The legislation would also codify the Department of Justice's controversial ban on bump stocks, a weapon modification that increases the fire rate of a semi-automatic firearm.



In addition, the bill would make it a federal crime to possess weapons that critics have pejoratively labeled "ghost guns"—a term usually describing homemade or 3D-printed weapons without a serial number.



Another title of the bill that bans high-capacity magazines was passed 220-207.

In other words, guns are more important to Americans than their children.



What a dumpster fire.

Jesus Brick, that is the democRATs motherhood language. They don't have a problem with illegal guns, hand grenades and bombs coming across the Southern border.

Trudeau and Biden don't care about gun crime. If they did, they would do something about their porous borders.

I may be wrong, as I am hospital at the moment with no access to news channels, but isn't it the other team obstructing moves for gun control reform?



No political party in the US has the cajones to step up and do what is necessary and right.
