Another school shooting

[Phil Titola]

Great. Ban it and all other guns capable of mowing down 25 first graders in a matter of seconds.

Did you miss the part about the VT shooter?

Did you miss the part that no law is going to fix everything?

[catastrophe]

What’s the point of having murder laws? It’s only going to stop law abiding citizens from murdering.

Nope. Did you miss the part that banning AR-15s wouldn’t even help?

I don't think anybody disagrees.

Here’s a pretty revealing article by a liberal. Essentially, liberal fear mongering tactics are all well and good if we’re using them for gun control, but we have to be careful not to let this get off course into addressing school safety or mental illness. Seriously, that is this author’s point.

DNR, but I would hardly call it scare tactics. There's no argument over what the cause to the problem is. The argument is more about how much we're willing to live with it.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

The analysis by John Donohue, a professor of law at Stanford, and Philip J. Cook at Duke University published Dec. 7 in Science reports some emerging consensus in the studies. Among the findings was that lifting restrictions on concealed carry guns increases violent crime and that laws restricting gun ownership for people convicted of domestic violence reduced killings of female domestic partners.

CATO has like a thousand studies showing an inverse relationship between guns and violent crimes, ftr

it drives me crazy when people dismiss/disparage the nra's influence as being about money. 

it's very convenient and intellectually dishonest for people opposed to this position to dismiss the nra as a lobbyist organization buying influence with money, because it intimates that the prevailing gun policy has somehow been achieved dishonestly or against the electorate's wishes.  however, that is not accurate.  the nra enjoys influence because a lot of americans believe very strongly that their right to possess firearms should not be infringed in any way and vote accordingly.  they have influence because our democracy functions as designed.

There seems to be quite a bit of divergence between the electorate and legislators (who also happen to diverge very little with the NRA). See poll numbers on things like background checks and assault weapons bans.

I really hate our hayseed, ignorant society in much of KS.  I wake up this morning to a post on my newsfeed of a picture of one of the advocating students during an interview with CBS.  The picture included a red arrow pointing to his headpiece and the hashtag #FactsFirst.  This guy is jumping on the conspiracy wagon and thinks this headpiece (worn to hear the network talk to him during interview) is instead a coaching device by Democratic lawmakers so he knows what to say.

If you actually read that article, you would quickly realize that (a) this is a medical doctor, not a gun expert, and (b) he was simply comparing bullets fired by an AR-15 to bullets fired by a pistol. I didn't say AR-15s were no different than pistols - I said they are not functionally more lethal than any number of other rifles readily available on the market. So is the solution to ban not just the AR-15 but all sport rifles? And how does that square with the fact that the worst school shooting in modern history, Virginia Tech, was accomplished not with a rifle at all, but a couple of pistols?

In short, the article you posted is irrelevant.

CNN scripted the whole town hall meeting, right down to one of the students being so clueless that they asked a question scripted for NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch to the wrong person - Senator Bill Nelson.

When a student asked Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson a question that was intended for Loesch, Tapper immediately jumped in, exposing the event’s script had gone awry.

“Senator Nelson, you don’t have to answer that question,” Tapper said. “Let’s move on to the next question.”

It’s difficult to judge the size of Trump’s hand in that pic without knowing how big the script is.
