Pan(ra)doras box

I had never heard of ghost guns untill today. They look like a nasty piece of work. Just what we need, guns that, according to the news up here, can’t be traced. What will they think of next! /s

Far FAR too many of them don’t have even this amount of locking.

And Tuckhead Carlson is saying that ghost guns don’t exist. I guess that, like the RNC, the NRA is working for Putin, and Fox follows both.

“Don’t need no stupid ‘lock box’. Gotta keep ol’ brothers Smith ‘an Wesson raight here under mah pillow. Any mo’ ment now govmint and librul Terror-it’s will break through mah door. Told little Johnny where the gun’s at, jus’ in case they take me out first”.

Make the box a bit sturdier, add a bit of compulsory training and the accident rates would be massively reduced.

Reasonable gun controls are another 3rd rail in politics.

And now, we’ll hear from those who are mad anyone mentions guns kill people.

No one ever wants to discuss the direct link between the economy and crime. I guess prattling mindless slogans is all the “liberal” mind can handle….

If you don’t like guns, don’t own one!

Ohio will be allowing teachers to carry in school providing they have 20 hrs of instruction.

BOO HISS

In June, Ohio will be able to carry a gun without any instruction and or license.

BOO HISS

That’s the A-Hole GOP party…they’re rampant and causing grief. Passing all kinds of laws in their favor…..even defying the Ohio SC on gerrymandering! They’ve got nerve, and funny! They GET AWAY WITH IT ALL!

And yet, even with the box open, the trigger hasn’t pulled itself.

I read a comment somewhere a few weeks ago. A maga man wrote to his fellow maga meanies to remember who owned most of the guns in this country so who would win a civil war.

Why would you need a lock when your 4 year old can hold it for you while you drive?

Hmmm. Looks like a Beretta or a Taurus. Much more a fan of my 1911 or Sig.

An oh wait. I’ve had firearms for 20+ years. Wanna guess how many people I have shot or injured or killed?

Oh. And then, of course, there’s the ATF that doesn’t like to actually punish firearms dealers very much.

But wait…….there’s more:

As I’ve said, we can pass more laws against firearms and firearms ownership when we actually ENFORCE the 20,000-plus local, county, state, and federal firearms laws already on the books. But instead, we’d just rather say we’re doing something when we won’t.

And the President’s little line yesterday about putting the criminals in jails is laughable. Given that a great number of politicians have pushed to have bail laws reduced or eliminated even for violent criminals, and DAs don’t prosecute very heavily with these laws, and we don’t actually put these people away.

Two things fix the bulk of firearms related deaths: Mental health care (which we don’t actually want to fund) and societally fixing poverty which drives massive amounts of the gang shootings…….and much of that range activity is directly linked to drugs.

But the firearms can just be the boogeyman but don’t actually address the underlying problems.

Too many guns, with too many lunatics!

Pandora’s box was opened years ago

Aren’t guns fun? Lots and lots of…fun.

Republicans and Russians want to murder the political opposition.

Never vote for a murderously stupid republican.

It’s really a subset of the original. It’s a lot worse than Celine Dion but she’s part if the full set.

I dont’I don’t see any Hope in the bottom of that box.

“W” and the GOP congress ripped open Pandora’s box when they allowed the assault weapons ban to expire. Kemp is enabling chronic murders of Georgia citizens and police by immature, no self-control, not too bright, mentally unstable, untrained, and/or mean drunk, etc. etc. individuals who will legally carry without a permit Ya’ll looked at me funny…BANG BANG BANG. Let the carnage begin.

New York is in a panic, the subway shooters gun jammed or he would have shot more.

We need some real gun laws in this country.
