For all you “originalists” out there, when the 2nd Amendment was written, state of the art was a muzzle loading flintlock.

Nearby police department had an auction of siezed goods. Including guns. I wonder if there were background checks?

Gun violence is a bad thing?

Then why are there so many gun violence advocates?

@Kyrie Eleison: “…the most pro-gun toting cities have the least amount of gun crime.”

Did your school neglect to check you for head lies when you were a kid?

Could it be the lack of trust/respect inspired by divisive political ideologies that no longer seek common goals that benefit everyone?

Republicans flood the country with deadlier-than-ever munitions and then blame Democrats for violence. To paraphrase Stanley Baldwin, gun control would change if the dead could return.

And, our gun-production is spilling over into Mexico. Maybe the Mexican government should build a wall.

I recall when we had a ban on assault weapons to be reviewed in 10 years. Moscow Mitch refused to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. NRA campaign money was more important than lives and common sense.

It’s way too late anyway. Want a gun? You’ll find one.

Who are the gun owners?

That 2nd amendment has been interpreted by the lawyers at the NRA and sponsored by the small arms industry.

Yesterday, there was a knife incident on the Japanese subway. 9 people injured. I remarked to my husband that if that had been the U.S they would all have been dead.

It’s always the Democrats fault. Republicans are “faultless”. Isn’t that right Donald?

Of course, it’s never the right time to talk about revisions to gun control…

I do admire the Fine People commenting on a subject for which they have no understanding . Fear is hardly a qualification in writing any law. Regardless the handwringing here there will be no new sweeping gun laws. With the POC crime wave going on right now it’s a DEAD issue. Anything started will be repealed when We throw these spastic morons out in 22,24 you all know it. Have fun whining Karens & Chads it will be over soon as the Grown Ups take over. Question is will we come looking for them and baby this won’t be no 1/6/21. Just like Santa we have a list we will be checking twice, to see who been naught and who’s been nice.

^I flagged the comment above by Ammosexual. This is no more and no less that a threat against the government of the US and violence against any who are of different opinion. Is this not TOS grounds for removal?

They should be standing in a nice Deep pool of Blood.

The correlation between the availability of guns and gun deaths is strong. The US is ridiculous compared to every other modern democracy on the planet.

Right. Because the guns fire themselves. Individual criminals aren’t at all responsible.

“Get your first shot off FAST…this upsets the other guy so that your second shot counts. “. Robert A. Heinlein. Probably not an exact quote, but I’ve been a Heinlein fan since I was nine years old (The Star Beast) and can at least semi quote everything he put to print.

Never fails to amaze me that liberal socialists will quote Heinlein as if that gives them some kind of cred. Robert started out as a liberal Democrat then over the years saw where they were going and switched to Republican. Wound up being Libertarian Republican who had no truck with anything resembling socialism, communism and fascism.

Yeah, this is for Liz.

Folks, stop engaging MontanaBull[censored]. He is nothing but a knee-jerk right-wing troll that brainlessly spews all matter of swill into the comments sections of Gocomics. Just ignore him and his garbage. As my father advised me, never mud-wrestle with a hog – it gets you dirty, the hog enjoys it, and you won’t win because the hog doesn’t fight fair.
