Parkland Students Continue To Be USED by Anti-gun Fascists

Someone  has proposed a bunch of  gun-control laws (as if we don't already have enough) to suit his vision of nirvana:
.
Parkland students: our manifesto to change America's gun laws | Editorial staff of the Eagle Eye | US news | The Guardian

That’s why the Eagle Eye has come together and proposed these following changes to gun policy. We believe federal and state governments must put these in place to ensure that mass shootings and gun violence cease to be a staple of American culture.

I believe that any effort put forth by our "government" is more likely to infringe upon our Constitutional rights than to support them.  And anyone who invites the Government into our privacy is an absolute dingbat clueless asshole.
Yeah ... I'm talking about You, Guardian!

Ban semi-automatic weapons that fire high-velocity rounds

Civilians shouldn’t have access to the same weapons that soldiers do. That’s a gross misuse of the second amendment.

These weapons were designed for dealing death: not to animals or targets, but to other human beings. The fact that they can be bought by the public does not promote domestic tranquility. Rather, their availability puts us into the kind of danger faced by men and women trapped in war zones

WHY shouldn't  Civilians have the same weapons (and ammunition) as soldiers do?  In America, we revolted against British Rule by arming ourselves with the same arms and ammunition as our oppressors used .. and we kicked their asses!

Sorry .. are you British?  Did I offend you?

Terms not defined.  And yes ... assuming that all semi-auto weapons fire "high velocity rounds",  this probably defines the weapons which people who are attacked would choose to defend themselves.  It's difficult do carry on a dialogue with someone who is entirely CLUELESS about the technicalities of the subject.

Moving on ....

This situation reflects a failure of our government. It must be corrected to ensure the safety of those guaranteed the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

"Our Government" is rife with failures.  It sounds naive to expect Our Government to accept responsibility for our individual life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

The police are not responsible for our safety.  Look it up ... they just enforce the law, and clean up the mess "after".  They don't protect, whatever the chi-chi motto is painted on their patrol cars.

"Our Government" has chosen to NOT accept this responsibility. 

High-capacity magazines played a huge role in the shooting at our school. In only 10 minutes, 17 people were killed, and 17 others were injured. This is unacceptable.
That’s why we believe that bump stocks, high-capacity magazines and similar accessories that simulate the effect of military-grade automatic weapons should be banned.

If you were attacked by a number of people and weren't very good at shooting .. wouldn't you want a lot of ammunition to defend yourself?

This is a "Second Amendment" nation.  We hold these truths to be self-evident .. unlike the British whose truths are all wrapped up in gauze and tape.  

Establish a database of gun sales and universal background checks

We believe that there should be a database recording which guns are sold in the United States, to whom, and of what caliber and capacity they are.

That makes it very easy for the government which you don't expect to protect you  to take your guns away from you.  Are you SURE this is what you want?

You offer no reason why you would want your government to have such a Draconian control over you.  You sound like a person who trusts anonymous elected officials to be more caring about your health than you are.  Don't you think you are the best person to decide how you should be protected?

Just as the department of Just as the department of motor vehicles has a database of license plates and car owners, the Department of Defense should have a database of 
















gun serial numbers and gun owners. This data should be paired with infractions of gun laws, past criminal offenses and the status of the gun owner’s mental health and physical capability.Together with universal background checks, this system would help law enforcement stop a potentially dangerous person before they commit a gun crime.the Department of Defense should have a database of gun serial numbers and gun owners. This data should be paired with infractions of gun laws, past criminal offenses and the status of the gun owner’s mental health and physical capability.Change privacy laws to allow mental healthcare providers to communicate with law enforcementUm ... this is just ignorance on your part.
As seen in the tragedy at our school, poor communication between mental healthcare providers and law enforcement may have contributed to a disturbed person with murderous tendencies and intentions entering a school and gunning down 17 people in cold blood.We must improve this channel of communication. To do so, privacy laws should be amended. That will allow us to prevent people who are a danger to themselves or to others from purchasing firearms. That could help prevent tragedies such as the Parkland massacre.Close gun show and secondhand sales loopholes

Why in the WORLD would you want that?
The Government already knows more about you that you would wish ... the only reason for "them" knowing all that crap is so that they can violate your civil rights arbitrarily.


Together with universal background checks, this system would help law enforcement stop a potentially dangerous person before they commit a gun crime.

Thanks to loopholes, people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to buy firearms are able to purchase them at gun shows and secondhand sales. The existence of these loopholes reflects the ineptitude of state and federal legislators.
If we are serious about preventing people from purchasing deadly weapons, we must monitor sales that take place at gun shows and on secondhand markets. This is especially urgent given the danger posed by mentally unstable and violent individuals armed with firearms.

There is no "Gun Show Loophole".
What there IS, is the ability for two people to make a private transaction of any commodity without involving the Federal Government.

Which suits me just FINE.

Allow the CDC to make recommendations for gun reform

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be allowed to conduct research on the dangers of gun violence. The fact that they are currently prohibited from doing so undermines the first amendment. It also violates the rights of the American people.

The CDC has been restricted in its reportage ... not its research.  The reason is that the CDC allowed it's anti-gun agenda to negatively influence its reportage because they emphasized  gun attacks, and never mentioned defensive use of guns (which saved lives).

Their support has NOT been cut off;  several other sources (such as Harvard University) have come forward to provide funding.  But our tax dollars no longer are arbitrarily used to support a political position which some of us do not espouse.

Personally, I'm grateful.  I hate the thought that my tax dollars would be wasted on a governmental department dedicated to undermining my Second Amendment Freedoms!

Raise the firearm purchase age to 21

If you;'re old enough to serve in the army, you're ole enough to pack a gun.

Dedicate more funds to mental health research and professionals

bunch of crap; the researchers and professinals are more often as bug-house nuts and their patients.

Increase funding for school security

Our children are our future.  They should be protected against any threat.
No effort is too expensive, no defense is too radical.
