RE: The BIGGEST Problem is American Gun Culture [dTube]
Many people are focused on banning semi-automatic weapons & high-capacity magazines.
Even if these gun options are banned, killers will continue to use single action guns to kill people.
Single action guns can be just as deadly since the killer doesn't have to deal with the recoil from the previous shot. This increases accuracy... which can lead to less missed shots... which can lead to more people getting shot.
The focus should be on that laws that allow people to get guns in the first place. Before someone can get a gun, they should have to complete ALL of the following:
- Extensive background check
- Mental health evaluation
- Weapon training
The last one, "weapon training ", isn't something I hear a lot about. This training should teach:
- How to safely draw and holster a weapon
- Retaining your weapon during a physical altercation
- Maintaining a clear line of fire during a violent situation (to protect people from stray bullets)
(Note: these are the first things that popped into my head. Much more should be added to this training.)
It should also require the gun owner to pass a written test & performance text – with a 100% passing grade required before the person is able to purchase a gun.
the bans aren't THE SOLUTION but I think they should be part of the broader solution.
I couldn't agree more besides the part that law could ever compel performance or a sovereign could ever take orders from their housekeeper, all I want to add is that indeed more guns are the solution to mass shootings, the punchline is sagacious by it's testament of time, these shootings don't happen where there's armed guards.
People talk about "mental health evaluation" yet the mental health is determined by a psychopathically controlled system where the list of disorders is only eclipsed by the 2 million statues they expect out of their citizenry, who clamor for privileges to buy property as if ever in the history of man the laws apply to criminals. If everyone is carrying what's the incentive to massacre? 2 people? 3 ?
