The time for polite debate on gun control is over




NRA: Bump stocks should be subject to additional regulations 2:53 PM ET Thu, 5 Oct 2017 | 01:17

They have fought the actions of large corporate polluters or companies whose carbon footprints are unreasonably large.

They have brought about positive changes by being true activist investors, not angling for some financially engineered profit, but by making companies more accountable.

Gun makers, as tobacco companies have been, should be held accountable, and legally liable, for the mass casualties that their products are responsible for, with severe penalties, class-action lawsuits and other disincentives awaiting them at every turn.

The NRA, touting Second Amendment rights, not only through TV ads but also through enormous contributions to congressional and presidential campaigns alike, has prevented even the most sensible reforms from passing as laws, as the New York Times has outlined.

This is simply tyranny of the minority. Roughly 32 percent of Americans own guns, with the average gun owner having eight firearms.

In addition, we need sufficient, not reduced, funding to identify and treat the mentally ill, especially since those with such illnesses are still allowed to purchase weapons.

The "gun show" loophole needs to be closed. Magazine and clip sizes need to be shrunk, by law.
Waiting times need to be extended and background checks enhanced.

No doubt some 500 people in Nevada, where gun laws are among the least restrictive in the nation, would agree. Sadly, we will never hear the voices of 58 of them again.

There also needs to be a massive cultural campaign to re-educate the gun-toting, testosterone-fueled population who believe that carrying a gun is "manly."

This Washington Post story about one of social media's most popular gun enthusiasts is quite telling.

We've taken the "macho" out of smoking, drinking and abusing one's spouse, all of which were, not too long ago, viewed within the purview of the male head of household.

If you want deer meat, go to the butcher shop.

If you are a weekend warrior, go paintballing.

If you want to protect your family, friends, country and beliefs, join the armed forces.

Be all you can be. But do it where it counts.

I'm weary of the strained rhetoric that claims everyone has a right to own a gun, or that if we limit gun ownership, the bad guys will win.

The bad guys are winning. It's time for citizens, legislators and investors to take concerted action to wage the final war on guns.

Since when has their debate ever been "polite". Their false narrative has been filled with name calling, tired terms with no definition like gun show loopholes, never heard any of the antis able to describe what the "loophole" is. Being intellectually dishonest has not helped their cause, which has gone backwards in the last 20 years. More gun owners than ever before in our history with more states allowing shall issue carry permits. In the nineteen seventies, their agenda was to outlaw handguns with such prospect now being evermore out of reach. Yes, they are and have been retarded, yet the lame stream media has been the main reason for the anti's continued existence.

I’m tired of sissies like the author of that mess

The author, Ron Insana, is a reporter for Market Score Board Report with Ron Insana, syndicated by Compass, and a Senior Analyst and Commentator at CNBC. He was Managing Director of Insana Capital Partners from inception to collapse. Wikipedia

So, the man whose investment firm collapsed (i.e., could not run an investment firm profitably without going under) is going to tell all Americans that gun manufacturers are "merchants of death" and that the 2A is an anachronism (i.e., the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution are all wrong).

I think I'll trust the wisdom of the Founders over this idiotic, liberal retard.

Come and take them, Ron!
