Ol' Mitch says the Senate is going to discuss gun control in September. He says he doesn't want to recall senators now because that will just cause partisan fighting, and he wants to actually get something done. He says the one thing the Senate can't do is fail to pass something. Better start stocking up I guess. article

Like I said in another thread, republicans are tripping over each other trying to pass something to the left to appease the left. They totally forget the right whom they are supposed to support. Maybe one day we'll have a true conservative party....maybe.

They gotta do something.The staus quo is unacceptable.Ordinary people so scared shirtless of being gunned down that they stampede at the sound of a sign falling or a car backfiring.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Who said anything about doing something wrong? They should be smart enough to figure something out. People cannot live in fear like that in a civilized society.

there has not been a vote, yet...relax! I've contacted my senators and representatives and let them know where I stand. Will wait and see where they stand and whether they'll get a vote from me. Need to contact my President and let him know how I feel too.

I don't believe most people are running around scared shirtless of being gunned down. That's what the media would have you believe. I live in one of the most heavily armed states in the country and it's also one of the safest. It's media wishful thinking.

Its a tough problem alright. Its so bad there now other countries are issuing travel warnings about visiting the US. I don't know what the answer is,maybe Posco has a point,make it mandatory for everyone to be armed to the teeth,sort of like a local version of mutually assured destruction.

I've known the sound of a gun since I was a child. Signs falling, cars backfiring,etc. may startle you but gunfire has its own distinct sound.

Whatever it is the politicians so far are unable to solve the problem.

Well they have to do something one way or the other with the public demanding an end to all the mass shootings for years now.If Trump is a good leader he should be able to come up with a solution.If not he will likely lose the next election.

I don't know what the answer is,maybe Posco has a point,make it mandatory for everyone to be armed to the teeth,sort of like a local version of mutually assured destruction. I live in a part of the US where it's not uncommon for people to have at least one gun in their vehicle many times more. I can count on my hands the murders in this town since my existence. The guns aren't the problem. It's all politics and it's what will ruin this country. I say make sanctuary states where guns are illegal much like the illegal immigration, and let the people that don't like guns live there. I bet they don't last long. You could start with New York and California.

I don't think guns are the problem.people here have lots of guns also,I carry a couple in my vehicles all year round,and so do many other people in the North.They are a common tool like a chainsaw,or 4 wheeler. Guns are definitely not the root cause of mass shootings.It is some kind of a culture problem in the states I believe.Something to do with overcrowding perhaps.Cultures clashing.
