If they want to curb gun violence, here are some "common sense" steps they can take immediately...

Ban all first-person shooter video games, and confiscate all existing ones.

Ban all high-capacity firearms from movies.

Fix the existing background check program by insuring all local police and psychiatric records be tied to the federal database.

Pass state exemption laws that standardize gun laws across all municipalities.

Revoke all onerous gun laws that are shown to be ineffective or unenforceable.

Rigorously enforce existing gun laws for use of guns in violent crimes, gun possession by felons, and illegal gun trafficking.

Make prison sentences for gun violence consecutive, not concurrent.

IF you are willing to ban things that other people enjoy, why shouldn't people want to ban what you enjoy?



Banning video games and hi cap magazines in movies? Really?


Well, we don't rent pigs, and it's better to say it right up front because a man who does like to rent pigs is — well, he's hard to stop.

Start passing/enforcing anti-pornography laws too. First up, "PornoGrind" music. Take it all down!

I agree with Rocky, except that the left does not want gun reform. They want gun control. Which is when they have and control all firearms and you and I have and control nothing.

Additionally, if the antis think that signs actually work, how about if public places post "Armed Citizens Likely Present Here"

One, it would probably discourage crazies from picking that place as their shooting grounds, and

Two, would keep liberal snowflakes far away.

It's painfully obvious that "Gun Free Zone" signs have the polar opposite effect.

To much common sense, never happen, gun control advocates live in some sort of fantasy world and support and pass unrealistic gun laws

How about felons denied during the background check go to prison for lying on the 4473? It happens now and they just walk out the door.

I'd vote for this, mebbe make the punishments a little more harsh for armed felonies. I got a lot of rope.

Nothing should be banned. Hypocritical don't you think?

You really think video games is the cause?

Mmmm the first two are first amendment violations and banning and confiscating video games will largely prove unenforceable though it isn't a bad idea in my mind but I don't play video games. Saying goodby to John Wicks and Jason Borne movies is; well it won't happen. I thought felons were prohibited from owning firearms now. Illegal gun trafficking has been a government thing in the recent past and will likely return when another liberal socialist democrat is elected to high office.

To my mind our culture is sick. We have lost our values and the more we ban religion and prayer in our schools and public places the more we push our offspring toward violence. We no longer teach the constitution or actual history in our schools. instead we teach social justice and identity politics, sexual depravity and abnormal behavior as the norm. What else should we expect?

If flight simulators are effective training aids for pilots, how are violent video games not effective training aids for murderers, especially when you factor in the age and maturity level of their users?

No new laws. We've got too many of them now. Life is dangerous. always has been, always will be. You are still far more likely to be killed in a car accident than a shooting in this Country. Those who would sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither liberty or safety.

Banning crime and criminals would be more direct, and more effective. Problem lies, with doing it without violating someone who is innocent of the infraction.
How about having more than one life sentence equals a short drop into a wood chipper? Would be a lot more cost effective, than housing, feeding, and vet Bills for animals that will never be released.


An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
