Not true, California’s attempt to do just that just got struck down as unconstitutional.

That wasn’t the question, nor is it accurate IMO.

That’s what I said a couple of days ago. Know when you are defeated. Just like Germany and Japan in 1945. This war could be over tomorrow if Hamas would simply surrender.

No blame for Hamas? I guess they are just nice people, right? Always looking out for their constituents?

Yup. As I have said numerous times on here, the Palestinian civilians are caught between two terrible forces - one that doesn’t give a damn if it kills them and the other that welcomes civilian casualties because they help its PR battle.

Hamas has (had) an extensive tunnel network all through Gaza that was no secret. Before the war it was even known as the Gaza subway. The difference between the Iranian military and Hamas is that the Iranians don’t hide under their civilians or use them as bait.

Almost like that general wasn’t hiding in an underground tunnel beneath an occupied apartment building.

The United States is not like most other countries. No other country has had more guns than people and then tried to take 90% of those guns away. It simply wouldn’t happen here, nor should it. You want to reduce gun crime substantially? Enforce the laws that are already on the books. Disarm...

There are tens of millions, if not more, of handguns currently in circulation. Criminals are already banned from owning or using them and yet they still have no difficulty with either. Taking them away from law-abiding citizens will only give the criminals the advantage. Not worth it.

I didn’t do anything as I wasn’t home at the time. In our case the mere presence of the gun caused the intruder to flee, so the type of gun wouldn’t have mattered. However, if there is more than one invader or if the criminal is using a standard semi-auto, being outgunned by them is going to put...

One more thing on gun control: the Democrats need to be careful what they wish for. We are in unprecedented territory now with Trump and his minions. It is not unthinkable that in the near future bands of his supporters could be targeting non MAGATs and might even have the support of some...

If a woman’s partner is going to murder her, it makes no difference if he uses a handgun or a shotgun. A shotgun will do much more damage with much less ammunition. They are also typically much cheaper than handguns.

I’m all for safe storage legislation. There are gun safes now that allow you to open the device within seconds while preventing unauthorized access. There is no reason a parent should NOT be charged if their kid gets ahold of an unsecured gun and hurts themselves or someone else with it, IMO.

The vast majority of “children” who are killed by guns are 16-19 year olds who are killed in gang or drug-related violence, typically by people using illegal guns that they aren’t allowed to own in the first place. Going after those individuals would dramatically reduce gun deaths with no new...

Mass shootings (by the FBI definition since there are several definitions out there) only make up a tiny fraction of gun deaths annually. Denying people the ability to protect themselves or their families from well-armed home invaders who already don’t follow the rules is not going to sell, nor...
