Sandy Hook Survivor also survived Michigan State University shooting

Common sense gun laws. If you or anyone in your household has been diagnosed with mental or emotional issues—or even if you have been made to take a psychiatric evaluation, you should not be permitted to own a gun. If you already own them, they should be immediately confiscated.

Mental health is so vast right now. People be going crazy if they don't get enough likes on social media. Plus I don't think they wanna pay for resources to help people,they rather send it to Ukraine. America is so lost . They don't wanna take care of their own at all

The government should mandate tracking devices in guns. Simple rfid chips that don’t give any actual information except where they are and a number correlating who they belong to. Force manufacturers to build them in a way that renders the gun useless if it’s removed, or at least costs too much or is too difficult for the average person to remove and reassemble. Then they should increase punishment for someone’s gun being used in a crime if they don’t immediately report it stolen/lost, which should be easier since they could track the guns. They should also have random gun registration check-ins and fine people who don’t have access to the guns they own.

If people claim to be such responsible gun owners then let’s hold them accountable and punish them if they can’t prove it.

Pretty sure that's illegal, iirc the federal government isn't allowed to keep a registry of gun owners, records are kept with sellers and shops which the feds can ask the state for if the gun is linked to a crime kinda like a warrant. And it doesn't address the almost a half billion guns currently in the US. Strict gun control or a 'War on Guns' era in this country could potentially be what finally pushes us off the deep end. The bolded makes it seem like you aren't around many gun owners, the vast majority are very responsible, can't speak for maga cacs

Wow.. Sandy hook was when I realized they aren’t going to do shyt, If like 27 little kids get shot & killed and nothing gets done there’s no hope for the rest of these kids today

That’s when America made it acceptable to kill children… It was over after that

 

[King Poetic]

Nothing going to change until u see 5 Republican children and wife get smoke by a insane shooter..

It’s like the war on drugs

They didn’t give a fukk when blacks was dying.. but soon when they family became affected by drugs, then here comes politicians

The main point of using a rfid is to keep track of the location of the guns. The current registry doesn’t solve that problem, which would deter the improper use and control. If we carry around phones that keep track of much more information, why not do something similar for something that can kill people.

Also, The government doesn’t have to keep the registry. They just mandate the policy. Regarding the existing guns, they should create a process to either confiscate and destroy those guns or get them replaced. Hell, give people a credit to turn in guns, no questions asked. Is there any cost too high to get rid of ghost guns? Then create a policy so that companies that don’t properly destroy guns ( to maybe try to sell them on the black market) get crazy fines and again increase punishment for improper owning of guns.

It would definitely be a long process, but it’s not impossible… if people really cared.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Damn, a sandy hook kid is 21 now and in college? I'm getting old

Either way, that's a traumatic life to endure both tragedies. It's hard to see how you'd go on living life after seeing so many lives taken away right in front of you

The right to own a firearm is more important than just wanting a gun to protect yourself from home intruders, it's fundamental to american liberal democracy, both material and philosophical.
In my opinion, what you're proposing isn't only impractical, it's more immoral than our current situation. Never mind it being a political impossibility, the 2nd amendment isn't going anywhere, Americans are soft generally, but that would be the straw that broke the camel's back. People care, it's just not worth it, we have bigger problems.

 

[Ziggiy]

So gun restrictions.
In what capacity?

If you have a history of mental health issues that include violence you cannot legally own a gun until you have attended 36 months of wellness classes and been certified by a LICENSED therapist.

If you have been convicted of a violent felony you cannot legally own a gun for at least 5 years

If you have a history of domestic abuse and
have been convicted you cannot legally own a gun for 3 years

If you have been caught and convicted of illegal possession of a firearm you cannot legally own a gun for 5-10 years

I know the following is already a law in certain states, but if a minor child of yours takes a gun from your residence, harms ANYBODY with it, and the gun wasn’t fortified beforehand then the parent will face charges stemming from assault with a deadly weapon to manslaughter depending on the harm caused.

Nothing I said even suggests taking away anyone’s right to own a gun. And what makes it impractical? The only obvious thing would be cost, but when you’re talking about lives and safety, who cares about the cost. It’ll be cheaper than finding a war in Ukraine.

Also, what makes it immoral? That doesn’t even make sense. It’s immoral to be able to track the location of guns? It’s a damn gun. Guns aren’t a natural right to life, it’s granted by the government. Tracking the possession of a weapon primarily used to kill is not immoral and I’m not sure how you could twist it to be such. You’re making statements to oppose the suggestion with not one statement of substance to support your argument.
