@@tommas2674 Bad parenting causes most of these problems. And bad government enables and even _enforces_ bad parenting. BTW, abstinence is a self-imposed ban, and ALL bans are ultimately just wishes. "I wish you wouldn't do that!" Bans deny freewill, punish independent choices, control very little, and never solve underlying issues or even address them. Especially in cases of victimless crimes, the sole purpose of bans is to make the enforcers feel better about themselves. With that in mind, kids starting puberty should have access to all the information they need. Because any kid with any self-esteem is going to make his own choices, which itself is literally and necessarily a part of growing up. Parents can only control whether their kids' choices are educated or not. To try to prevent such education is an extreme case of bad parenting.

Both the UK and Australia have now banned guns. However gun violence STILL HAPPENS, mostly from the criminal side. As well, without guns, criminals turn to other methods, like KNIVES and MACHETES. They will always find a way to intimidate and threaten others. ALWAYS. Huge props to this couple who are doing it right - education and training are key!!!

Have they studied the demographics of the age of the shooting the reason for the shooting in the situation around it so they could direct their efforts to stop it by social intervention. I would’ve liked to have seen some information of whose killing who how often what are the circumstances around the shooting? Is it domestic? Is it gang or a phenomena of you today, it may be a symptom of the world at large the social injustice in the world. Why would you adhere to authority when the authority is so corrupt?

No. This is American on American violence. Period. This shouldn't be happening anywhere. And certainly not at this frequency. It's absurd to expect people to end gun violence by learning how to use guns. Of the 40,000 people I've seen lost to opioids, not a single member of their grieving families is taking drug classes. Like that would solve the problem. See how ridiculous this all is? This is not a problem that can be fixed person-to-person. Public health crises require larger-scale changes in public policy.

While a lot of it is black on black violence, other ethnic groups are also prone to gun violence as compared to European nations where gun access is more restricted.

@Foreseer117 2 ай бұрын

@Motionedout This is a bad comparison. Opioid overdose is often a side effect of addiction. These pills are far too addictive and over prescribed due to kickbacks doctors receive. Guns are not a health crisis. Gun deaths are dropping every year, only spiking during civil unrest as seen in 2020, in gun control heavy cities mostly. That stat that guns are the leading cause of child death is bogus as their definition of 'child' goes to 20. Included in that stat are gang shootings resulting in gang member deaths, which is no great loss all things considered. Maybe learn about actual stats related to guns.

This might educate some, but it doesn't really address the greater problem. Larger-scale laws on the manufacture, distribution, and sale of firearms would likely be more effective in reducing gun violence.

@Foreseer117 2 ай бұрын

With over 400 million guns in circulation already? No. That simply isn't true or realistic. Education and training are the keys. The more people learn HOW to be responsible with firearms, the number of accidental injuries and fatalities go down. More education also means more responsible gun owners who can deter criminal gun use. This is the best step to a safer America.

@Motionedout 2 ай бұрын

@Foreseer117 So you would discount the impact of regulations on firearms manufacturing and sales? I mean, why is it too much to ask for that? Cars have production regulations, emission regulations, sales regulations, alcohol and tobacco have sales regulations, drugs, biologics, and medical devices are regulated, and yet no regulations on guns, none at all, not it's up to individuals to learn everything about guns and we're all safe. This is an example. Everyone who drives a car has taken a class. But there are still accidents, and there are still people who drive recklessly. Now, not regulating car production or sales at all (which appears to be your argument when it comes to guns) might make some car companies happy. But it doesn't solve the problems of accidents at all, in fact I'd argue it makes them worse. We've already passed legislation before on guns with mass shootings reduced, notably the assault weapons bans of the 90s and 2000s, it wasn't the end of guns in America. It isn't anything we can't do again. The argument that it is just to get some control on what is out there.

@Foreseer117 2 ай бұрын

@Motionedout So you have no clue what you are talking about. Let's break this down. Regulations only hurt people who follow the law. Most gun homicides are committed by guns that are illegally obtained. Notably, around half of violent gun deaths are gang related, with those guns being illegally obtained by felons (who can't own guns) and minors (who can't own guns). With this in mind, regulation will only remove law-abiding citizens' rights while criminals will still be obtaining guns through street markets or cartels. So, that alone is enough to say that regulations don't work. Guns are already heavily regulated in the US (18 for rifles/shotguns, 21 for handguns, ID required for every purchase, background checks for every purchase, automatic weapons are banned, felons cannot own firearms) more laws will not fix anything, especially when the issue isn't the guns, it's the culture. Switzerland let's every family own an automatic firearm, and their crime is far lower than ours. Why? Because they have a culture of education, respect for one another, and understanding that criminal threat can be met with deadly force. An armed society is a polite one. In America, we let gangs proliferate, we idolize gang members (Al Capone, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Diddy, Kendrick), and we refuse to dismantle gang culture. If we did, then shootings would decline immensely. Guns can not be regulated in the sane way cars are for 1 very important reason, the 2nd Amendment exists. The words SHALL NOT are very, very definitive, with the Bruen ruling recently reinforcing how definite those two words are. Guns are a right. Cars are a privilege. Same with alcohol and tobacco. Medicine and food need regulation so as to ensure that a product does not harm someone as those are trusted for health and nourishment. I think the regulations on guns currently are fine (some states have overextended those regulations, but that's another story). Nowhere did I say individuals MUST learn EVERYTHING about guns. I said education is key to reducing violence and accidents. Schools used to have competitive shooting clubs and classes for gun safety. When those were implemented, crime was low. I wonder why? The answer is simple, education is key to ensuring a safe society. Let me ask you this, when someone drives recklessly, do we ban sports cars? Or do we charge the driver for their reckless actions? You already know the answer. The reason this comparison isn't analogous is that the regulations placed on cars are on the manufacturers side. They must add seat belts, airbags, and other safety features to ensure the car can be used safely by the consumer. Likewise, there are regulations in the gun industry to ensure that the firearm is safe for use by the consumer. It has to have a safety function. It has to be able to fire without injuring the user and more. So, putting regulations on consumers is actually counterintuitive. Finally, the so-called Assault Weapons ban. Let's get this straight, there is no such thing as an Assault Weapon. The law banned 'scary' looking guns, mostly rifles with black plastic and a pistol grip. For instance, the AR-15 was banned. Meanwhile, the Mini-14 was completely legal. The 14 fires the same ammo, at the same rate of fire, with the same magazine capacity as the AR-15. The only difference is that the Mini looks like a 'traditional' hunting rifle. For many gun owners, especially ones with joint issues, the AR-15 is a preferred platform because the pistol grip is far more comfortable. The law did not reduce gun deaths or mass shootings. In fact, the deadliest school shooting occurred during the AWB, Virginia Tech, a shooting carried out with 2 handguns. The only thing it changed was rifle deaths with only accounts for 4% of gun deaths. Great job. Actually, due to Bruen ruling, the AWB CAN'T be done again. Thank you, Supreme Court. The AWB is just a stepping stone to strip Americans of their right to own firearms. Look at Canada. They did the same thing and saw that gun deaths didn't go down, so then they banned the sale of handguns, effectively removing the right to own firearms in the country. That can not and will not happen in America, and I, along with millions of others, will not let that happen.

@Foreseer117 Ok, Regulations do not "only hurt people who follow the law". No, Regulations are there to (obstensibly) protect everyone. Everyone. And they do. Like the gun restrictions by age or other factors you mentioned, and yes, the AWB after it went into effect. Both have/had tangible results that keep/kept guns/different types of guns from specific sections of the population, sections the greater populace had agreed should not have them. Enforcement has undoubtedly helped reduce gun violence, or at the very least, possession of guns amongst groups we found dangerous or want to protect. To that point, I'd argue for regulations and strong enforcement of those regulations, for every gun manufactured and sold in this country, where they can be sold (i.e. no gun show loopholes) and distributed. Gun regulations don't always have to do with a singular law-abiding gun owner, or singular gun-owning criminal, rather they are there just as much to monitor the actions of gun manufacturers, big-box gun vendors, and gun vendors of all sizes, period. Additionally, if your gun rights argument relies on an amendment written in 1789, I have more respect for arguments that acknowledge this right applies only to muskets and pistols, i.e. the technology of that period. But like other technologies (like what radio or the internet meant for the 1st Amendment), every weapon technology since the 1790s has to be regulated in reasonable ways that the population agrees to legislate in those newer eras. Technology has changed and will continue to change, and the regulations throughout history have been legislated to keep up with it. This is no different in any sector, constitutionally provided for, or not.

@Foreseer117 2 ай бұрын

@Motionedout Again, you show you don't know what you are even talking about. Regulations have not decreased gun violence. Why is it that California, Illinois, and New York (namely LA, Chicago, and NYC) still have relatively high gun deaths with some of the strictest laws in the country? The answer is the culture in these areas. I grew up in California, and I saw firsthand how the proliferation of gang culture has only increased gun violence. Meanwhile, I now live in a state with constitutional carry, and gun violence is far reduced here, I'm not hearing about a new shooting every day. But the culture here doesn't just let gangs run rampant either, meaning the culture here favors responsible gun ownership. There is no gun show loophole. I recently went to one, and my brother in law purchased a gun at the show. They required a valid state ID and a background check form to be filled out. He could not leave with the gun the same day. There is no loophole. As to the AWB, we the people didn't vote on that. It was a wildly unpopular law, and the actual stats of before and after the law took effect show no tangible effects on gun violence. I see you ignored my point to mass shooting STILL occurring under the AWB. You also didn't address how the AWB only banned guns by how they look, leaving many models that are just as 'deadly' on the market. Like I said, the current regulations are fine, with a good deal definitely overreaching, but every proposed new gun law only hurts the individual. Red Flag laws violate the 4th Amendment rights of citizens. AWBs violate the Bruen decision and do nothing to actually solve homicides as 94% are committed with handguns, and it only exists to start a full gun ban, like Canada. Suing gun manufacturers for mass shootings is stupid, as it would be like suing car manufacturers for a dude driving through a crowd. They are not responsible for one twisted person's actions. So the constitution no longer matters? Got it. I hope your home gets raided tomorrow, seeing as the 4th Amendment was written in 1789, and it obviously can't apply to things like computers today. But I guess you are right. None of those rights were forward thinking. Obviously, the country is too big for the 10th Amendment to be effective, so state legislation should go back to the federal government. Hope you enjoy that federal abortion ban. Why even have a 5th, 6th, and 7th Amendment when every case hits the news, painting perceptions of guilt or innocence? Do you see how dumb this line of reasoning is? The First Amendment isn't federally regulated. If your argument is the FCC, then I posit that the FCC is government strong arming and overreach. But things like social media are not regulated by the government to control speech. In fact, the government has attempted to make sure companies can not silence people on social media for having dissenting beliefs. Account bans are not a federal regulation but a private corporate one, as social media is a privately owned platform. Now, let's address the frankly baffling notion that you claimed the 2A only covered 'pistols and muskets'. No no no no. You are simply uninformed. Prior to any form of regulations, private citizens were allowed to own EVERYTHING from muskets and pistols to cannons and warships. We have historical documents confirming that these items were in the hands of private citizens and completely legal. The founding fathers also knew firearm technology was advancing and that 'repeating round' weapons as they called them were going to be made. The Puckle Gun, while rare and more of a novelty item, was in circulation in America. The gun used a rotating barrel system to fire several rounds before necessitating a reload. Sound familiar at all? The language of 2A is very clear. 'SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED' is a definitive statement made with forward thinking in mind. Sure, I'm certain Jefferson never imagined nukes, but that does not mean our rights to the best means of self-defense should be stripped like they would under the AWB. Also, the idea that an AWB was generally agreed upon is laughable. Like I said, citizens didn't vote for it. If it was on the ballot today, it would not pass.

Stereotypes aside...... What concerns me is that this workshop that they are running is mostly all attended by POC youth. This is the primary target group (pardon my pun) that members of LE would be the first to, shoot at. The mere mention of a young black male in possession of a firearm, is all a cop needs to see or know to give them a reason to go back after them. Personally, I believe that for all the good that this couple is trying to do.... I wonder if maybe they could have done better outreach to get more of a mixture of people from different ethnicities involved in their workshop class.
