Muh Guns, Too

[archibaldcrane]

TBF why do we let people convicted of violence against anyone have guns?

If someone has demonstrated asocial, specifically anti-human behavior in the past, perhaps they shouldn't be given access to the most efficient tools of anti-human violence?

Google "40% of police"

I wish they would fucking stop saying “breached.”

[TsingTao]

What else would they say. some non tactical civilian bullshit words? Breached is what heroes say.

Especially funny if the door wasn't locked and they just mean "opened"

We let people buy guns because it makes gun makers money.

Duh.

[NynJa]

Shields, rifles and dozens of cops - the only thing standing between them and a lone gunman in a room full of 8 year olds was an unlocked door.

That they didn't even try to open.

just waiting for the official report that they shot kids (or a teacher)

[Andalusian girls]

the only thing that can stop 100 good guys with guns from stopping a bad guy with a gun is an unlocked door no one tries to open

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday cleared the first hurdle to passing a bipartisan measure aimed at keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous people, agreeing to take up a compromise bill whose enactment would break a yearslong stalemate over federal legislation to address gun violence.

While the bill falls short of the sweeping gun control measures Democrats have long demanded, its approval would amount to the most significant action in decades to overhaul the nation’s gun laws. The 64-to-34 vote came just hours after Republicans and Democrats released the text of the legislation, and after days of feverish negotiations to hammer out its details.

Proponents hope to pass it by Saturday, and Democratic leaders put it on a fast track on the normally sluggish Senate floor.

The 80-page bill, called the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, would enhance background checks, giving authorities up to 10 business days to review the juvenile and mental health records of gun purchasers younger than 21, and direct millions toward helping states implement so-called red-flag laws, which allow authorities to temporarily confiscate guns from people deemed dangerous, as well as other intervention programs.

The measure would also, for the first time, ensure that serious dating partners are included in a federal law that bars domestic abusers from purchasing firearms, a longtime priority that has eluded gun safety advocates for years.

Senators agreed to provide millions of dollars for expanding mental health resources in communities and schools in addition to funds devoted to boosting school safety. In addition, the legislation would toughen penalties for those evading licensing requirements or making illegal “straw” purchases, buying and then selling weapons to people barred from purchasing handguns.

Its bothered me the whole time that they used the door was locked as an excuse. If there was a fire in that classroom, I'm sure firefighters could get that door open real quick, or if the police were serving a non knock warrant then that door would be opened real easy

[Lucavi]

Never stops them from barging into innocent brown people's homes and shooting em up on "drug warrants".
