what does the image you posted mean to you? I want you to really articulate yourself.

To mean it symbolize what i think is a sad and forgotten argument when it comes to all these silly gun control laws, passing gun control laws is not going to take care of the bigger and REAL issues, high rates of violence within the certain communities. Communities with gang members ( such as the ones posted in the photo) and drug problems. Its also sad that it took a issue like a mass shooting in a suburban school to get this ball as dumb as it is really rolling. When you have black and Latinos getting dropped like flies each and every day in place like Chicago, new Orleans , dade county, Newark , Philly, Camden etc etc

You want to address a disease , start with the symptoms

Exactly Criminals aren't gonna turn in their weapons.

Trying to ban assault weapons when they account for a small percentage of gun related deaths is ridiculous.

An outright BAN. They are not even talking about making assault rifles harder to get, but banning them outright.

Who does this help? I just printed out the forms I will need to get my gun license. This is scary serious and it is just the beginning.

Where I live they want to mandate that everyone has to see a licensed psychologist before you can get your gun permit. I'm looney, so I know that a psychologist will not clear me.:lolbron: Just kidding.

It went from needing to see your Mental Health records, to now proposing that you might be crazy without a mental health history so you need to see a psychologist.

Off top you're being disingenuous with your argument because most people aren't even talking about banning guns. People are calling for stricter gun laws, not an outright ban on all guns.

Secondly this dialog wasn't sparked by people with mental illness acquiring guns, it was sparked because white folks were suddenly the victims of shootings, hence the "I can't believe this happened HERE" bullshyt people kept spewing.

And Third do you honestly think the proliferation of guns in the United States isn't at least PART of the problem? I'm not saying guns are the only problem but to act as if it's not a problem at all is fukking absurd.

Other nations have MANY people with mental illnesses, they watch the same movies, listen to the same music, and play the same damn video games and many of them don't have even close to the level of gun violence that we do. What sets us apart in that respect is are guns per capita and the comically lax gun laws.

Proliferation of guns is not a problem. It is the solution.

Guns have always existed in this country. In the last 20 years something went totally wrong in America.

You can speculate on what went wrong, but mentally people are not well.

The guns did not shoot up a movie theatre. The guns did not make that man take the lives of those babies. It takes a really sick person to do those things.

Like I said, the guns were here before, so why wasn't this happening in the 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's, 30's, 1890's?

It was. School shootings have been happening since before the Civil War.

Stop listening to the NRA. :snoop:

This might sound sexist...

but i didn't expect a female to be one of the few posters who speaks the truth on this issue.
