Thread Name: BS: Yet Another Mass Shooting (fill in the blanks)
Subject: RE: BS: Yet Another Mass Shooting (fill in the blanks)
The problem, bb, with yer proposal is that is simplistic and unrealistic... Enforcing the laws ain't all that easy when criminal and nuballs can purchase guns without any IDs, background checks or registartions...How exactly are you going to enforce laws without those tools??? When the sicko kills 30 of his classmates???
Back in Loudoun County, Virginia we had a sitution where a large housing project, which now has it's own post office, Ashburn was being built... Problem is that it was built where folks used to hunt... The hunters knew the houses were there but hunted anyway... There were several incidents where bullets came crashing thru walls of these houses... The Ashburn folks tried to get the County Board of Supervisors to inact laws that would make the hunters have to hunt a certain distance form the residential communtiy...
The the NRA became involved and fough back against these proposals and what was finally decided, afetr the NRA thugs were done, is that a bullet is allowed to pass over other folks private property and wasn't trespassing until it hit something??? Like a house or a kid... In other words, the NRA thought it was perfectly okay for hunters to be shooting in a residential area ***until*** the hunter killed a person of shot up someones new kitchen???
See, this is the kind of backwards thinking that I've been talking about when it comes to the NRA... The NRA will defend crimnals, nutballs, careless hunters and just about anyone else in the universe who wnats a gun at the expense of common sense and the safety of the community...
This is why we have a the gun show loophole in Virginia... This is why the Congress is afraid of the NRA... This si why we can't even have a logical discussion on the subject...
