    If the Army leaves a tank out in the middle of a town with the engine running, and someone hops in and starts driving over cars, are you seriously arguing the Army bears NO responsibility for that?

    on the tails side, why do you presume falsehood without verification?

    She’s not going to tell you. She will tell a trusted friend. If she brings charges against him, then yes, you accept her claimed at face value.

    I can't tell if you were being serious about it, but on face value isn't one of your repeated suggestions for a solution to gun violence to lock up anyone with mental issues that you think makes them a violent threat? (Whether or not they have actually harmed anyone?)

    Not "I think." A demonstrated proclivity towards violence.

    Everyone is a law abiding citizen until they are not. So your solution would help a bit, but the better solution is to truly enforce the well regulated militia and restrict these long guns that appear time and again in mass violence.

    Demonstrated proclivity as in actually have performed acts of aggression?

    Yes. Successful or not. The attempt is enough.

    And since it's YOU I'm talking to, that means clear, unambiguous acts of physical violence, not whatever bait and switch "gotcha!" trap you have in mind.

    I will not see "people" as a collective, governed under the presumption of guilt or bad intent. If that's where we're headed, human civilization is already a failure.

    I'm just not sure how you actually do that in any way which is going to give useful outcomes.

    Wouldn't someone committing clear, unambiguous acts of physical violence already result in legal issues for them where you live?

    Also, it seems that the profile for many of the young men who go on mass shooting attacks is that they haven't been overly physically violent to others beforehand, and that the shootings are among other things an expression of control and power to a world they feel impotent against.

    Looks like negotiations have stalled. Is not one gun owner willing to negotiate? I've tried with several, but they all seem to drop the subject before any resolution can be agreed.

    Nah, no ones posted there in weeks. Now it just sits as a publicly viewable record of all the things they've bought.

    it would be swell if the political party that most passionately defends the gun industry applied that philosophy consistently.

    "probable cause"
    "likelihood to offend"
    "possession for the purpose of X"

    sorry AntiAll, but the police state you want for others also applies to you sometimes.

    Jesus tapdancing Christ, and UA isn't a Republican HOW?? :lol:
    Blaming divorce is one step away from blaming rap, and two away from blaming not enough Jesus in schools.

    And now YET ANOTHER mass shooting , this time in Chicagoland.

    It really is WAY WAY past the time that the 2nd Amendment was COMPLETELY REPEALED.

    How many MORE mass shootings , shootings in general , have to happen before the United States FINALLY wakes up & completely deletes the 2nd Amendment?
