Can the US government finally control the gun market?

 

Smart guns could soon become available in the United States.

During the past 20 years, the idea of smart guns, which can be fired only by verified users, has been developed.

But there have not been reliable results until now.

Parkland Parents Make 1,700 Cookies for the NRA

 

These Parkland parents made and delivered 1,700 Christmas cookies to the NRA to represent the 1,700 kids who lose their lives to gun violence every year

America's love affair with guns

 

More and more Americans are taking a stand against a widespread gun craze in the country - especially since a rampage at a Florida school left 27 dead. But they face stiff resistance from a powerful weapons lobby, above all the National Rifle Association.

How to Sell a Massacre P1

Three-year undercover sting reveals how US' National Rifle Association handles public opinion after deadly gun attacks.

How should you respond to a deadly mass shooting if you are a gun rights advocate?

First, "Say nothing." If media queries persist, go on the "offence, offence, offence". Smear gun-control groups. "Shame them" with statements such as - "How dare you stand on the graves of those children to put forward your political agenda?"

How the NRA hijacks gun control debates

After the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, news networks are once again focused on the debate over gun control. These debates often pit gun control activists against the National Rifle Association (NRA), which claims to speak on behalf of gun owners. But in reality, the NRA represents the interest of gun manufacturers. The group gets millions of dollars in donations from gun companies every year, and millions more through the sale of ad space in NRA publications. That financial allegiance means the NRA is similar to organizations like the Tobacco Institute -- an industry lobbying group primarily interested in protecting their product.

Private Bone Spurs Would've Gone After Florida Shooter Without A Gun

That's right people Private Bone Spurs the who man received five deferments from service in Vietnam due to bone spurs in his foot. As which foot that was, he's unable to remember.  A man who once said in an interview that avoiding catching stds was his own private Vietnam.  Yes, that guy, known as Donald Trump would've gone into Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school without a weapon and confronted the shooter who was carrying an AR-15 the civilian equivalent of an M16. You know, the assault rifle formerly used by the U.S. Army. 

Private Bone Spurs has some kind of magical or superpower how else could one explain the utter stupidity of that pronouncement.,

President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that he would have personally fought off the school shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School even while not armed, despite the fact that he previously deferred military service due to bone spurs in his foot.

“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that too,” he said during a White House event with the nation’s governors.

Trump was referring to criticism against law enforcement officials, including an armed guard at the school who failed to swiftly respond to the gun massacre in Parkland, Florida, earlier this month.

When later asked to clarify Trump’s comments, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that he didn’t actually mean that he would “run in” to the school. 

“I think he was just stating that as a leader, he would have stepped in and hopefully been able to help,” she said.

Donald Trump a leader? That's like saying Baghdad Bob always tells the truth while lying out of his ass.

Watch: Mother of slain Florida student screams at Trump live on camera — and CNN’s Brooke Baldwin falls apart

Mother Lori Alhadeff lost her daughter Alyssa Wednesday after Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old man, killed 17 students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In an interview with CNN Thursday she screamed into the camera demanding President Donald Trump do something.

“How? How do we allow a gunman to come into our children’s school?” Alhadeff asked. “How do they get through security? What security is there? There’s no metal detectors. The gunman, a crazy person, just walks right into the school, knocks on the window of my child’s door and starts shooting, shooting her and killing her!”

She then turned her anger to the president.

“President Trump, you say what can you do?” she asked, responding to Trump’s statement earlier. “You can stop the guns from getting into these children’s hands! Put metal detectors at every entrance to the schools. What can you do? You can do a lot! This is not fair to our families and our children go to school and have to get killed! I just spent the last two hours putting the burial arrangements for my daughters funeral, who is 14! Fourteen! President Trump, please do something! Do something. action! We need it now! These kids need now!”

Fixing A Computer The American Way: With A Gun Pointed At Your Head

Everyday life in America isn't like other places, where the mundane is the norm and life just isn't all that exciting.  Living in a country that believes itself to be exceptional can be taxing how does one live up to that standard?  For example having a computer repaired. Most people would do one of say three things, call the customer service line, take it a repair shop or have the technion come to your home and finally just do your self.

Let's say you choose to have the repair person come to your home and while there informs you that, yes it can be repaired but they must leave to retrieve the necessary parts. How would you react? Resignation, acceptance, frustration but willing to go along or would you choose an extreme?

Remember this America and Americans are exceptional.  

In this case the owner of the computer chose the extreme and what he used to emphasize that he was "exceptional" was a gun.  Yes, this "exceptional" American decided that what was needed was a  Second Amendment remedy  to motivate this defenseless computer tech.    

damn, y’all.

Mondello told the tech ”you’re not leaving this house until the computer is fixed” — a feat that would be difficult to accomplish without the needed parts.  That’s when [he] decided a Second Amendment Solution was in order. He left the room and returned with a what appeared to be a gun, telling the tech:
”I’m going to kill you slowly.”

The Second Amendment remedy guy is Joe Mondello the former Legislative Director for Texas Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.  

Remember only "exceptional", conservative,  NRA card carrying and responsible gun owners may act this way because they're responsible.

• The suspects were armed with long guns, Burguan told reporters. "These were people that came prepared. ... They were armed with long guns, not hand guns," he told reporters. Most of the victims were "centrally located in one area of the facility," Burguan said. Police didn't exchange gunfire with the shooters, he added.

• "At this point, I know one of your questions is going to be 'Is this a terrorist incident?' I will tell you right now we do not know if this is a terrorist incident," David Bowdich, an assistant director for Los Angeles FBI's office told reporters.

• The shootings were in the conference center at the Inland Regional Center, the center's executive director, Lavinia Johnson, told CNN. She believes the county's Department of Public Health was having a holiday party there. Johnson said the fire alarm went off in her building, and people began to evacuate but then the order came to stay in place. Later police came and took people out of their offices.

Watch: President Obama's furious reaction to another mass shooting in America

Updated President Obama's statement on the mass shooting in the U.S. state of Oregon.

On Thursday, Obama spoke about the Umpqua Community College shooting in southwestern Oregon. He did not mask his anger about the tragedy — and America's apparent unwillingness to do anything about it.

"As I said just a few months ago, and I said a few months before that, and I said each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough," Obama said. "It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. And it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America next week or a couple of months from now."



Obama pointed out that America has extraordinary levels of gun violence compared to other developed countries, which researchers widely attribute to the easy access to firearms in the US.
