Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New Gun Control Manifesto from Parkland Students

The Guardian gave them an outlet.. here's highlights from their list.

1) Ban semi-automatic weapons that fire high-velocity rounds
Civilians shouldn’t have access to the same weapons that soldiers do. That’s a gross misuse of the second amendment.

2) Ban accessories that simulate automatic weapons
That’s why we believe that bump stocks, high-capacity magazines and similar accessories that simulate the effect of military-grade automatic weapons should be banned.

3) Establish a database of gun sales and universal background checks
We believe that there should be a database recording which guns are sold in the United States, to whom, and of what caliber and capacity they are.
Just as the department of motor vehicles has a database of license plates and car owners, the Department of Defense should have a database of gun serial numbers and gun owners. This data should be paired with infractions of gun laws, past criminal offenses and the status of the gun owner’s mental health and physical capability.

4) Change privacy laws to allow mental healthcare providers to communicate with law enforcement
privacy laws should be amended. That will allow us to prevent people who are a danger to themselves or to others from purchasing firearms.

5) Close gun show and secondhand sales loopholes
Thanks to loopholes, people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to buy firearms are able to purchase them at gun shows and secondhand sales. The existence of these loopholes reflects the ineptitude of state and federal legislators.

6) Allow the CDC to make recommendations for gun reform
The fact that they are currently prohibited from doing so undermines the first amendment. It also violates the rights of the American people.

7) Raise the firearm purchase age to 21
With the exception of those who are serving the United States in the military, the age to obtain any firearm must be raised to 21.

8) Dedicate more funds to mental health research and professionals
Federal and state government should earmark more funds specifically for mental health services.

9) Increase funding for school security
Though this idea has been proposed in the past, these funds should not be appropriated from the already scarce funding for public education. Governments should find resources to secure the millions of children that attend public schools without taking away from the quality of education that is offered at these institutions.

1 that leaves out the AR then, its dang sure not high velocity to me anyway.

Not asking for much are they..

Some email I got from one of the "students" today at work added ban online gun sales... so I wrote the dumb pluck back... I asked him to join in me to help ban vehicles, pharmacies, cell phones, radios, newspapers and magazines. But FIRST and FOREMOST to help Austin put a ban on bombs so they never have a bomber again! Have not heard back....


Lets see, 7... they think that just because you are in the military you can't be a kook?

Abusing their grief for an agenda.

Trump gave em almost all that today.

Just think what Hillary would have given them BEFORE the shooting.

straight out of the liberal playbook. I'm sure they had help.

As one infamous Commie said....."Useful Idiots"

Hillary lost; we're talking about trumpy. Try and keep up.

Yeah, because we lost SO much under Obama. Remember when he took the bumpstocks... oh wait. No. Well, remember when he made a campaign plank out of putting people on the no-fly list part of NICS... oh wait, no.

What did we lose under Obama? Well.. Heller! Wait, no, that was a win. McDonald! No, wait, that was a win. States dropping concealed carry! Wait, no, they all got it.

But we dig get Gorsuch rather than a Hillary pick. And look at all the pro-2A decisions that the Supreme Court has been taking up since last year.... Oh wait. No.

Oh I"m up. Bitch no matter what seems the du jour these days. But I do understand the reason for bitching.

The unfortunate thing is we are so far gone, it won't matter anymore. Its a fatal spin non recoverable IMHO. So you take the best you can get at the time. Again IMHO.

Actually they are being abused during their time of grieving by those with an agenda.........

Actually we aren't down, and the most danger we're in is thinking we ARE down and that we must compromise.

Homicide rate at all time low. Children death from firearms at 50+ year low. More pro-gun decisions than in a century.

We don't have to frigging compromise on anything, no matter who the president is. The NRA hasn't figured that out, NSSF is a bit better.

The thought of placating Pelosi and Schumer makes me squirm.

No need to placate, any more than we had to placate Obama.

Just Say No.

Too late now; an FBI database has major implications I think.

Any sympathy I may have had for them has just vaporized away. They have become part of the enemy ranks. Fahq them. Fahq their parents. Fahq Bloomberg and his scum. Fahq Broward County and every democrap voting piece of sub-human schitt living there. :mad;

What FBI database? NICS?

That other American citizens WANT to give up their natural and 2A rights to arms and to control their own destiny and security. To want to piss away THEIR rights to the government a government that was a complete failure during and leading up to this shooting is something that I can't wrap my head around. To take away our freedom so we can all hope that the government will protect us. I get it when it comes from a savy, power hungry politician but can't understand it for the life of me coming from private citizens.
