now it's semi autos? Just like I said before, it never stops... There's no compromise or common ground with liberals, you people want to much without any regards to anyone who's not a liberal... You guys want this war, bring it on, it's going to be a bloody day when they come for my guns...

i'll suggest an idea...

how about expanding backround checks
to allow 30 days to complete them ???

is there a reason someone can't wait more than 3 days
to take possession of their assault weapon ??

i think a 30 day waiting period would allow for
a more in-depth vetting process...

this would especially apply to persons who already have
purchased an assault weapon(s) How long ago ? has their
life changed or become stressed or have they began abusing
their spouse or children since their last purchase ?
what's the big hurry...use your other gun and if everything
checks you can pick this new one up next month..

whats wrong with waiting 30 days to evaluate any purchase..??

any objections or other suggestions on backround checks ???

full-auto are already banned...semi-auto's are exactly
what we are talking about...it's war it's a discussion..and just
as the ban exists on full-auto if the semi-auto is also banned
you'll obey the law or face the consequences..just like someone
driving their car 100mph in a school zone does

no problem...I'll even suggest a step further... Make everyone show they have a way to keep the guns locked up as well, either by showing a receipt of a gun safe purchase, or they have to buy a trigger lock with the purchase...that one kid in Jersey, I think, stole his mother's guns to kill those kids... And his mother..

when you attend the funerals of these murdered children
i'm sure grieving survivors will be comforted hearing
words like this...

"there there children, everything will be alright, we
responsible adults are working diligently to stop these
things from happening to you...We are planning to have all
your teachers armed with guns to protect you from the bad guys"

These young adults want something done about the gun culture
they have been brought into, they want real change and they
are not going quit until the adults present viable common
sense solutions to gun control..

arming their teachers with MORE guns, turning their classrooms
into 30x30 battlefields, is NOT acceptable, they demand more..

it amazes me that proponents of arming teachers, seem to
think that the "armed Goodguy" always wins the gunfight against
the "BadGuy" ...that is bunk, at the least, it's a 50-50 chance
the bad guy shoots the teacher FIRST then kills the kids..
and says nothing to the idea that the bad guy might be
wearing a Bproof vest which give him a significant advantage
in any gun battle with a teacher most likely armed with a pistol

arming the teacher ? .....imo, terrible idea

full-auto are already banned...semi-auto's are exactly
what we are talking about...it's not a war it's a discussion..and just
as the ban exists on full-auto if the semi-auto is also banned
you'll obey the law or face the consequences..just like someone
driving their car 100mph in a school zone does

think about what you're saying here...if a gun is not a full auto, then it's a semi auto... It's not going to go well for anyone if you ban all guns...

Moe is correct.

you want my guns, come get them...

you make a good point if your talking about 1 or 2 teachers armed. But my point is if you remove the stigma of " a gun free zone" and 25 , 50,or 70 percent of the adults may be armed,then you might think twice about going in and start shooting. Most of these killers are cowards and have an agenda to make a statement, it's hard to do that with bullets coming your way.

there are a few single shot hunting rifles, but all handguns, even 6 shooters, are semis... Btw, I don't know of any guns that have a 50 bullet clip, the max that is legal for handguns is 8 bullets...

it may be hard to sort out the details of who 'started' shooting when the bullets start flying amongst several random people

Who cares how it sorts out if the bad guy is dead or at least not shooting anymore.

Moe,

The federal limit on magazine capacity expired when the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act of 1994 expired.

Academy Sports & Outdoors sells a 33-round magazine that is made for the Glock 17.

banning all guns should be off the table, so should putting more guns out there ... imho

both are reactionary only and not much of a solution, as one ignores a right and the other puts more potentially unstable gun carriers around our children

I have heard of one LONE person ever seriously suggesting 'taking' guns away(meaning removing by force something one possesses)

but I am sadly hearing many who believe the answer to gun violence is more guns ...

think about this... It may be our constitutional right to own guns, but it's not against the Constitution to limit the manufacturing of guns...
