Why Guns Must Be Banned Now!

Post Reply New Topic

my state has some of the strictest gun laws in the US...and some of the lowest gun violence numbers as well. I guess we don't have as many mentally ill people here.

A few years ago, a friend and myself were parked outside a store at a Tanger outlet mall just about 5 or 10 minutes before a shooter shot two people, killing one. Scary!

I doubt very much the government would go to individual homes to confiscate guns; there's just too many people, and too few government agents.

The next time I need to choose a new user name, I think I will choose "Guns".

That way, I will never get banned.

Not reading the whole thread but I will say since most school shooters seem to be male teens, I say they should raise the gun ownership age higher. They do that with car rentals, to buy alcohol, cigarettes' and tobacco, why not guns?

Will young teens still find ways to guns, yes like they do with the others and most of these young teens with guns came from homes that have guns and they are not securely locked. Plus mental health plays a role in it and when I was in high school, my parents made sure my grandfather's gun was locked up because they didn't want to be that statistic given the fact I had mental health issues. This is why parents of shooters get sued because of their negligence to their mental health and failure to keep their guns secured.

And I think schools need to be more secured and I would rather have schools be like a prison to keep students safe than have them be opened where anyone can just walk in. At least here in my kids' school, all doors are kept locked at all times, kids are not allowed to leave their commons, everyone has to get in through the office and doors are always locked. It's like the school is always in lock down and I tell my kids it's for safety. They don't want anyone just walking into the building with a rifle and start shooting.

We are fortunate to have a long-standing legal principle that authorities may not enter a residence without a warrant. A judge signs the warrant, and to do that you must convince the judge that there is probable cause to enter the residence. Since there is no mandatory registration of firearms there are no complete or reliable records of who and where possesses a firearm. The judge won't help you if you've got nothing to show for a probable cause.

In the states with a Castle Doctrine executing a search without a warrant would be especially comical.
