And it will continue to be nothing but talk.
We live in a society that places high value on firearms, easy access to firearms, with no stomach to put any of the things you mentioned in place. Nothing will change, no new laws will be passed.
I'm fine with that, and have come to accept the fact that school shootings and other mass murder committed by firearms is just part of the deal. I expect it to continue and only hope its not someone I know or someone in my family that are the next victims.
The only answer is to build more caskets, arrange more funerals, and bury the dead.
it is not just talk . I know you know this because you are not that dumb . bit by bit we make concessions and more laws are passed punishing the innocent for the crimes of the guilty . who, oddly enough , our society would give a pass to.
yup! punish the innocent and protect the guilty. we live in a truly bizzaro world!
no . the answer is to actually hold people accountable when they break the law and make penalties for doing so harsh enough they might think twice before doing so.
this is the type of penalties we need ... mass shooters should be skinned alive over the course of many days.
rapists should be stripped, tied to a post ,in a pen full of calves and milk poured on their members.
thieves - loss of a finger for minor offenses . increased to made quadro for major offenses.
you catch my drift . releasing them back on the streets is not doing it .
jails are full? fine . let's make it policy that anytime jails fill all inmates regardless of crime they committed are gassed and we reset at zero inmates. I would expect this would deter many from minor crimes.
I know folks are way to squeamish and "civilized" to embrace these things . but this is what it will take at this point.
OR we can just continue to be stupid ( which I have no doubt is the choice our population will make) and just sit back and hope the next time it is not one we care for that is killed.
