It's not just that they're viewed as vulnerable but also that any attacks on them will generate such a huge media response.
Very true. I thought the exact same thing.
There is a possible better good guy than a cop- the person that is there. If an armed individual is faced by an aggressor with a gun, even if the chance is really low (i.e. they don't have their...
Does that system entail the applicant listing references and then the investigators asking those individuals for other references? I am supportive of spouse's having a say. I wonder about those...
I don't have a broader set of data (I'm limited to the source) but, the graph you included isn't just about firearms but violent crime in general. I wasn't asserting that violent crime was...
I'm not trying to butress pbjosh's arguments but, you have to look at (and control for) a lot more factors than just gun regulations before you can say that restricting gun ownership is the best or...
Thanks for sharing that!! I personally have felt that luck has and does significantly contributed to my career trajectory.
I don't think Cockerpunk has any beef with holding those responsible for the failures that have occurred in this particular incident. However, he's talking to the larger, over-arching problem which...
I totally agree about the free speech actions and I agree that I've seen it happening on both sides, the gun one is just impacting me more directly.
Now, I would like to address your last subject...
Something else that's been bothering me related to guns: It appears to me that anti-gun folks are reporting policy violations on gun channels (of all types, incl. level-headed, non-political gun...
I wasn't saying terrorism shouldn't weigh into firearm ownership (as if I was saying I'm okay with Terrorists getting guns). I'm saying we shouldn't be writing policies that affect the millions of...
I'm totally on board with harshly penalizing negligent parents who don't take appropriate action to secure their firearms. I'm also very supportive of finding firearms safe manufacturers liable if...
Thanks, and I'm sorry I missed or forgot about it.
0. Yes, mental health services must be more readily available and easier to attain. The system really needs to take potential for violence or...
My comments in green.
I'm curious. I've frequently heard your criticisms of existing policies and Republican / NRA ideas and comments. Just what would you propose to enact in regards to gun policies? And I'm not going...
Looks like the move went down! Working good :)
A lot of folks believe in the free ability to transfer firearms outside the purview of the BATF and the background check system (i.e. transfering a firearm to a relative who is able to receive a...
I understand the past, I want to know what should be done in the future. I understand that Law enforcement provides information to the NHTSA for the establishiment (or revision) of regulations and ...
I'm not against the existence of such a database. I'm more concerned with ensuring that it is safeguarded for appropriate uses that wouldn't violate anyone's rights. For example, some time ago, a...
Thanks for clarifying that, you had my hopes up that the indictments were published.
I do believe this is true for most of the for-profit press organizations to varying degrees. Personally,...
I agree with most of this. My hesitation is largely centered on "Loophole for background checks". Do you mean to say: "No more private sales/transfers without a background check"? Honestly, I...
You as anyone should know that metrics aren't simply metrics when used as a reference point in discourse. From USA Today (who without my knowledge, also carried the headline before retracting it):

Yes, I agree any school shooting (as in a mass shooting conducted at a school), is too many. I'm not wading into the gun control debate. Honestly, you and I may have a difference of opinion just...
I agree with the NPR article, and they are demonstrating just how these types of events should be reported.
