Henry Payne for July 20, 2016

Trucks aren’t designed to be deadly weapons, nor are cars, but they have often been used as such, and against cops who get blamed if they shoot the person with that 4,000+ pound weapon. But unregulated guns were designed with the intent to kill things, and what’s wrong with licensing their users. (BTW I’m licensed for mine, it’s called a Concealed Carry Permit, and required proof of stability, and skills, including knowing the ethics of when to shoot, or NOT!)

The French have already passed strict freedom-control laws (also known as an “emergency”) and used the Nice attack as an excuse to extend them. Why not mention that, Payne?

Henry, from now on, I hope everything you consume will be delivered to you on a gun, since you obviously don’t know what a truck is designed to do.

Ho ho ho! Nothing the GOP finds funnier than someone killed by a thing that isn’t a gun! Going back to the 90s, when I started reading letters to the editor, every single disaster brings them out. Man killed by knife. HEY WE GOTSA HAVE SUM NIFE CONTROL HAW HAW HAW!People killed by a truck. WHEN WE GONE SEE THAT THERE TRUCK CONTROL HUH? TEE HEE!Chair used as a weapon. GOSH DANG WE SHOULD CONTROL THEM CHAIRS MAN HORK HORK SNORT!

I guess it is hilarious. People are dead. What’s not to guffaw over? The absence of gun is a twofer.

Henry, you are on a roll. Unfortunately not a good one.

There are strict truck control laws. When will we have any gun control laws?

You may be correct – We have plenty of gun control laws. However, police funding has been cut all over the United States so that they are not properly enforced.

Trucks are not generally considered to be deadly weapons and still we require the both the vehicle and it’s driver to be licensed.

In order to obtain the license to drive, the driver is tested for competency. In order to license the vehicle, it must be insured against the event it should cause harm to another individual.

Nope, don’t see any way that could be applied to guns.

We are having them removed from the books as fast as the NRA can get them off. Pulling back state laws and ensuring no federal laws are passed. No, it is not that “I” am not enforcing the laws, it is that the NRA (yes again) has ensured that any investigation into gun violence is not tracked, and the paper work is made even harder by not having a national registration or even allowing computer files.

I have a license to drive vehicles, and a license (CCP) to carry a firearm concealed. I have no problem requiring all drivers to have to prove they can actually drive to get a driver’s license, as most don’t anymore, and for all firearms owners to be licensed and prove they know how to use a firearm, and the ethics of when to use, or NOT, that firearm.

I am sure president Dumpf will run a tight police right wing police state.

Hank – Go back to pimping the Coal Industry, please; It at least is honest work!

Mr. Payne may just be supporting the Republican Convention ongoing high volume discharge this week. His normal stuff fits in perfectly with the themes that Mr. Trump has brought to town.

Next, theyll insist on licensing drivers and registering motor vehicles.]
