It's a constant now and it doesn't have to be.

Yesterday 9 people killed in San Jose. In Dallas/Fort Worth and environs three police officers killed in a standoff, a man was shot by police while holding a woman at gunpoint, three people were killed in a domestic argument and I'm only mentioning the headlines not the mundane everyday violence. Mundane everyday violence? Yeah, it's a thing now.

What the **** is wrong with us? Texas just passed an open carry law that allows anyone 21 years and over to openly carry a loaded handgun with no permit, no training and no background check joining 19 other states. I repeat, What the **** is wrong with us?

It doesn't have to be this way. Even without confiscating most of the guns in civilian hands (my preferred approach) IT CAN BE FIXED.

Expand background checks to include ALL gun transfers. Open background checks to include violent misdemeanors as well as felonies. Extend those checks to local law enforcement to include social media content, interviews with family and employers/fellow employees. Require this background check to receive a 'permit to purchase' with a three month expiration date. Include in that permit to purchase a requirement for mandatory safety training and proof of liability insurance before purchase.

None of this is unconstitutional. The gunner argument against this is that it inconveniences 'Law Abiding Citizens'.

Well, I've got some news for ya, Gunner. It's damned inconvenient to stop your everyday life and plan a damn funeral.

When I buy a car, I have to go down to the BMV to get the title. And this is required even if I buy the car from a family member who lives in my house. I cannot drive said car unless I have insurance. I have to renew my driver’s license every 4 years which includes a vision screening. No one complains that this is overly burdensome. Why are gun buyers such snowflakes.

DUmmies think it's "safe" to discuss the VTA shooter, because of his skin color. IRL, it's looking like the guy had mental issues (bipolar, though not necessarily diagnosed as such) and a history of domestic violence. IOW, for all CA's ultra-strict gun laws and the guy  apparently being unqualified to buy a gun, he found ways to accumulate guns and ammo.

It is time Gun-Haters figured out that the "gun violence" problem is not the gun, but the man or woman pulling its trigger.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

And doesn't check for open warrants and suspended licenses?

If the laws on the books were enforced and those committing crimes with a gun were prosecuted and jailed to the fullest extent of the law, and if the libs cleaned up the ghettos they created in most of our major cities it could be fixed.

Project Exile was working to get crime under control in Richmond, VA. Well it was working until liberals decided it was racist because black people were going to federal prison for extended stays.

Dear AndyS(toopid), your constant reminder of your wokeIdocy is redundant and repetitious too.   Get handy Andy and make your lover a sammich filled with sweet goo instead of poking the bear.
