Literal glownigger telling us to increase already unconstitutional government overreach. Here is my "compromise". Change the age of majority to 21, and in return, every gun law in the books is repealed.

What saddens me is that people who are literally intelligence assets can openly run for office, win, and then command support from anyone. This shit is corrupt and insane on its face, but no one is stopping it or even really objecting to it. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Nah, all gun laws are infringements, including age laws. Gun clubs weren't uncommon in schools not that long ago, where students would regularly bring in their guns to school and shoot on the on-campus shooting range. Maybe the issue isn't guns, but a societal issue with the ever increasing decay of the people themselves. Maybe the issue is that society keeps churning out low value people who can barely make a phonecall, let alone have the capacity to take care of themselves both physically and mentally. Maybe the issue is entirely with the horrors of modernity and how society at large has mangled the human condition to fit systems of control rather than any actual community of human peoples that engage on a voluntary basis.

Maybe the issue is all the fucking collectivism and death of the individual.

If you change the age of majority to 21 it will fuck up a lot of systems.

For instance, you are guaranteed an education up to the age of 18. And the right to not work and pursue such while having your shit paid for. Are we gonna extend that right to 21?

Are 19 yr olds going to be wards of their parents whether they like it or not? That's not nice.

When I was in Congress, I had an A rating from the National Rifle Association and received support from the group for my reelection campaigns. I believe in the Second Amendment; its language is straightforward. For almost a decade, my job overseas as an undercover officer in the CIA required me to carry weapons, and I continue to be a gun owner as a private citizen, because I believe in being able to defend my home.

Oh boy a self admitted rino who will openly show he does not get the second amendment, it’s language or applications later in the article!

There have been more mass shootings this year in the United States than days—more than 220 such events, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This appalling situation is simply unacceptable. A year ago, it was an elementary school in Uvalde. This month, it was an outlet mall in Allen, Texas. Tomorrow or next week, it will be another town in America.

Be SCARED!

No one-size-fits-all solution can tackle this problem, but let’s also not pretend that nothing can be done. After 9/11, we made it improbable that another attack of that scale on our homeland would happen again: revamping airport security, neutralizing Al Qaeda, and improving federal agencies’ intelligence sharing. Yet when confronted with the epidemic of mass shootings that plagues our nation, we have failed to treat it with a similar level of urgency and significance. Instead, the majority of our leaders have chosen inaction.

Way to lie about massively removing previous constitutional protections with things like the patriot act, but go on you malignant tumor.

Some proponents of doing nothing say that gun violence is not an epidemic at all. In 2021, there were some 48,000 deaths from firearms, including suicides. As high as this figure is, these people point out, more than twice that number died from drug overdoses. Heart disease, the leading cause of mortality among Americans, accounted for nearly 700,000 deaths. For American children, however, gun violence last year surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death. We should acknowledge that as an epidemic by any standard.

“After rigging the data and enough blacks shooting each other at 15 we can now claim an epidemic and take your guns.”

After the deadly 2018 high-school shooting in Parkland, Florida, more than half of American teens said they were worried about a shooting happening at their school, and a majority of parents shared this concern. Must we accept that some 50 million of our sons and daughters experience fear and anxiety while they’re getting an education?

They were taught to worry, forced to worry, by politicians, media, and activists who kill at far greater rates with the policies they push.

If my Republican Party is going to live up to its billing as the pro-life, pro-parent, pro-family, pro–Second Amendment, and pro-law-enforcement party, then it is on us to put forth the best ideas for preventing mass murders. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. What we need is common sense.

Here it comes!

An assault-weapons ban—touted by some, including President Joe Biden—is not the magical solution for what ails this grieving country. But neither is the shortsighted, rigid dogma of putting more guns into our schools—Uvalde proved that point. The school building was soon swarming with armed officers, but that did little to nothing to stop the carnage. No single statute can in one sweep end all mass shootings, but we can assuredly save lives if we focus on practical legislative measures designed to reduce gun violence.

Here’s the rep of Uvalde blatantly lying about what happened at Uvalde….

Eighty-one percent of respondents supported raising the legal age at which a person can buy any gun to 21. This simple solution could have prevented the tragedy in Uvalde. If you can’t drink or own a handgun until you’re 21, then you should certainly be 21 to own a high-caliber, semiautomatic weapon that can hold a high-capacity magazine. The survey also found that 80 percent of voters agree that police should be allowed to take guns away from people considered a danger to themselves or others. This concept, commonly referred to in legislative efforts as red-flag laws, empowers authorities to temporarily remove firearms from those who demonstrate a clear and imminent risk—as determined by a judge, who reviews the evidence presented by a petitioning party.

Then no voting, military service, or anything until 21. We also need red flag voting laws. Remember this is “mr. 2nd amendment”

The U.S. does not have the mental-health resources—the facilities, staff, and training programs—throughout our communities that can identify, assess, and address the mental-health issues that may contribute to the evolution of a disturbed individual into a mass killer. Mental health is health. Only by investing in mental-health infrastructure, as we do in our health services, can we offer support to individuals in need. And this would give us greater capability to intervene before people’s struggles and crises manifest in violent actions.

Blatant lies, mental health is over utilized and completely underwhelming in its use. Just about every mass shooter had mental health care at some point in time.

revamping airport security

Airplanes are secure because no one is ever getting into the cockpit again. Security on the ground has nothing to do with this. Hell, the airplane-as-missile strat didn’t even last the full day of 9/11.

neutralizing Al Qaeda

To be immediately replaced by the next US-funded Middle Eastern terrorist group.

improving federal agencies’ intelligence sharing

Which is now being used to illegally spy on “domestics threats” like parents opposing gay porn in schools, conservatives questioning obvious irregularities in elections, and anyone who objects to replacement immigration.

Hell, the airplane-as-missile strat didn’t even last the full day of 9/11.

As soon as a hijacking stopped meaning a free vacation in a tropical, non-extradition country, and started meaning "you're going to die if they get past you", there was a powerful incentive to oppose it instead of sit back and wait for the stewardesses to come past with the drink cart.

It was a one-time-use tactic, and changing airports completely as a reaction was a huge waste.

this is a faggot glowie RINO...

For almost a decade, my job overseas as an undercover officer in the CIA

so let's see what his suggestions are...

So we can take significant steps toward curbing gun violence by implementing comprehensive background checks, empowering law enforcement through red-flag laws, investing in mental health, and raising the minimum age to 21 for purchasing a high-caliber, semiautomatic weapon that can hold a high-capacity magazine. These realistic solutions deserve serious consideration at the federal level.

this is treason. this faggot is declaring himself an enemy of the people.

multiple of these suggestions have already been found unconstitutional. if we're going to start doing shit, here's a sure-fire way to drop gun violence over 70%... just incarcerate/deport all black males under 50 years old. what's that? that's unconstitutional? yeah... that's what i said up above...

Also, there aren't really high-caliber weapons with high-capacity magazines. Weapons with a higher caliber have smaller magazine capacity as a result of having... bigger diameter bullets.

This faggot glownigger probably thinks .22(3) is "high-caliber".

Guns don't kill people, Democrats kill people. Every word they utter in support of murdering the unborn is a declaration that innocent life has no value. Little wonder, then, that the demographic that has the highest rate of abortion also has the highest rate of homicide in general.

high-caliber

semiautomatic

Shibboleths detected. Not a real gun owner.

The republican party needs to be reduced to ashes. Its the only way an actual right wing party will be able to exist.

A staggering 87 percent of voters surveyed said that they support requiring criminal background checks for all gun buyers

I don't think people understand what this means. This means completely surrendering control of firearms to the federal government. There will be no way to get one without their permission. A lot of people wouldn't like it if you put it that way. The reason people can privately trade firearms now is because the Federal government does not have the right to regulate everything that goes on in a state, despite their best attempts.

What if the right/left compromised and banned blacks from owning guns?

While this point is made in jest, I think it would bring up some interesting/needed dialogue.
