So why is it Democrats are not making laws that would mandate background checks in bars?

Don't tempt them. They just might do it. I believe liberals go after guns because mass shootings are very dramatic and are easy to put up on the news and make people scared. Sure drunk driving may kill more innocents but you don't get a good news story from a car crash. School shootings are far more dramatic and cause much more fear. This makes people irrationally weigh mass shootings as a bigger problem than it is. But given that fact it may actually make it a more important problem. Fear is something worth getting rid of and you are not going to get the news to stop covering it so why not try to stop mass shootings even if you could save more lives elsewhere? On a even more pessimistic level the drama of mass shooting can be exploited by liberal politicians to score political points with scared voters. 1

Oh and I own a LOT of guns but would still like to see more restrictions put on ownership. I have been trained through the NRA on gun safety and have noticed that most gun owners know absolutely nothing about gun safety. It is just a matter of time before they blow someone's head off on accident. Most people, and until recently including myself, do not properly lock up their firearms away from teenagers and children. You never know when a teenager in your family is going to go psycho and try to shoot up their school. I would support licenses for firearm purchase that required safety instruction. I am not sure if I would support home inspections for proper storage though. 0

We've had many guns for centuries without mass shootings of kids in schools. We have no need for more gun control measures that would not have prevented any of the recent shootings. Talk about lunacy and admittance that savng lives is not the reasons for trying to take our guns. To any thinking adult it is obvious that guns are not the problem.... our culture is the problem. So tell me the motive of people who NEVER address the core problem of an issue but rather try & push an agenda that started many years before any of these school shootings happened. You never answered me. How would you like to have background checks every time you wanted to have a drink in a Bar, or buy alcohol at a liquor store? |
