Honest question, meme me if you must. I must be very clear that I'm not writing this for the purpose of bait, as it's very easy for threads to be derailed here.

What does the Republican party propose to do to combat mass shootings? You refuse to enact gun control, allowing second generation immigrants and many other undesirables to access weapons easily.

What else can be done to stop them? I'm aware that gun control has been shown to be ineffective in many areas, but are you really content to allow these events to happen on the regular? Why not try something?

Homicides rates are not correlated to gun ownership according to these data.

Ban all Muslims.

Make it easier to buy high explosives. That should stop some of the mass shootings.

"Mass shootings" are so rare and kill so few people compared to cars and diabetes that we don't give a fuck.

If we simply allowed insane asylums to return and locked away they certifiably insane instead of treating them as special snowflakes that are misunderstood we would have zero mass shootings. We would then need to focus on the ghettos. Notice how DC, NYC, and other cities that outright ban concealed carry have higher crime rates you would see that the problem isn't criminals getting guns legally its upstanding citizens that have no recourse but to accept rape as a daily occurrence. If they don't know who's carrying they don't know who they can terrorize without reproach.

Eliminate "Gun Free Zones" and allow those that are trained to carry their firearms.
If it's a school and a teacher has a gun, let them carry it. This is in addition to the Resource Officers many schools already have.
If it's a bar, let the bouncer or bartender have a way to protect the establishment. I understand those going to a bar to drink should not have a gun (This was true even in the old west). If they have a gun when entering they can leave it with the barkeep/ bouncer and then they (Or their designated driver) collect it on their way out.
Allow soldiers on base to carry their sidearms.

>What does the Republican party propose to do to combat mass shootings?
Enforce existing gun laws, improve mental health funding, accept that things like this might happen in a free and open society. The goal is liberty, not safety.

>What else can be done to stop them?
We can expand concealed carry laws and make access to firearms training more accessible. We can also train police to actually know how to effectively fire a weapon and not be enormous pussies. Three and a half hours with a SWAT team and a Bearcat when you started with three officers engaging? Unacceptable.

>but are you really content to allow these events to happen on the regular
Content? No. Do I accept it? Yes.

>Why not try something?
We did that after 9/11 with the TSA, Homeland Security, the PATRIOT Act, and the invasion of Iraq. Didn't go so well.

I'm actually a psychologist and I'm not sure that asylums would help. They might be effective in a small handful of cases, but the majority of mass shooters were never going to be candidates for long term institutionalization. Holmes and Cho weren't crazy enough, Lanza's mother was in denial about her son's condition, Rodgers was Axis II, Dylan and Klebold arguably weren't crazy at all.

This guy has the right answer.

>mass shootings
>statistically significant
Pick one

Safety is literally for cucks. I would rather live in a country where I have to engage in a firefight on my way to work every day than on that's full of cucks.

Mass shootings get lots of national media attention, but in overall homicide stats, these events account for a very small percentage. It's really not the problem we all feel it is while we're in the midst of watching so much news coverage.

The real gun homicide problem is drug/gang related murders in the cities (usually by illegally obtained guns). So what do we do?

1. Stop letting people who commit gun crimes plea down to lesser charges (that happens way too often).

2. Promote the importance of family in those high crime neighborhoods. AND the importance of not starting one before marriage (push abstinence and condom use).

3. Turn this freaking lame economy around. When the economy is growing, there are more jobs, better pay, few people on the welfare rolls or standing on the corner slinging crack and heroin.

>1. Stop letting people who commit gun crimes plea down to lesser charges (that happens way too often).

I would add that the ATF and FBI's primary focus right now should be tracing EVERY gun taken off of a gang member, putting straw purchasers in prison without the chance of a plea, and aggressively pursuing the underground dealers who supply weapons to gang members.

Why haven't you emigrated to Somalia yet, then?

I think they're going to remove gun-free zones.

republicans do enact gun control, the most recent gun control bill to go before the hous e got a 90% consensus on mandating background checks

its the gun industry that, every time a law comes out banning a gun or part, they slightly modify it to put it back on the market, thus starting all of this over again.

if you just had a law that said, "gun manafacturers can't be dicks" it would solve a lot of problems, but thats not really how law works

Totally agree. When I said "gun crimes" I did't just mean gun violence, but also the crimes of illegal gun sales, straw purchases, illegal gun possession, etc.

Ban gun-free zones.

Also,

Slide thread.

mass shootings are truly irrelevant. The only dems make a big deal about them is because they are gun grabbers.
Removing guns just makes it harder to defend yourself from this kind of stuff. Look at the paris attacks

This too, "gun free zones" just means "nobody here can stop you" they're often the target of shootings, in fact more dangerous than other places

>Gun confiscation
>Suggested by a Brit

Suggestion discarded.

Everyone should carry a gun and less people would want to shoot places up.

What's it like spending Bloomberg's money?

"Going to war is better than being half at war."

We have half restrictions on guns. Gun free zones, but not restrictions on guns in general.

Either go full gun grab, or don't gun grab at all. This halfway is killing us. Personally, I'm anti gun control.

look UK dude, the FBI investigated this terrorist faggot for over a year, and then again later when his coworkers said he was bragging about being part of alquaida and hezbollah. they put him on a no fly terrorist watch list, then removed him after a year. the entire time he was allowed to keep his job at a top private security contractor which was in charge of guarding federal buildings. now, we are being asked in america to trust these same faggots as they process over 100 syrian refugees A DAY. if they couldnt figure out this guy was bad news after 2 years of investigations (there were major warning signs...his classmates described him dancing on 9/11, cheering on the hijackers, coworkers described him hating america, pulling a knife on someone when they joked about islam), how the fuck are we supposed to trust them with the background checks they finish in just one day on 100s of random goatfuckers from a warzone???

banning guns will have ZERO effect on crimes of terrorism like your london bombings in 2005 proved.

it is important, however, that the children not have access to nerf gun toys though!

Limit the media circus that surrounds them, that seems to be the only thing that's really changed over the years.

also, getting tired of the mass shooting meme. if people were seriously concerned about saving lives, and not pushing for a liberal agenda which would allow socialism and a totalitarian government to take root, then they would be campaigning for the hundreds of other things that kill more americans each year than "guns"

Deport all non europeans

What does France propose?

...

...

also, for the rest of us non-millionaires who cant afford private security and retired special forces soldiers as body guards, a $400 handgun is what we use to protect our house and family from bad people

this

the next time a muslim tries to shoot up a gay bar, he should be shot in the face with a 12 gauge by the bartender

What are you going to do about elephant stampedings?
The media hypes this highly rare event up but says nothing about the normality of violence in gun-free zones, Mexico, or black areas. Statistically these shootings almost do not exist. Every weekend in Chicago sees a double-digit toll. Why don't you people care about blacks?

Actually, I'm kinda interested now, Sup Forums.

How many mass shootings can you think of that happened before Columbine?

The most obvious solution would be to make "no gun zones" unconstitutional. Mass shootings invariably happen in places where people are sitting ducks.

the clock tower in university texas in 1966. i dont know, but i do know that even just after colombine, there were a bunch of copycat shootings because of the notoriety and fame the media brought them.

if the media would stop sensationalizing the killers, they wouldnt have the motivation since there would be no fame a lot of these nutnjob egomaniacs crave

The reality is that Americans are perfectly fine with mass shootings as a trade off for legal gun ownership. To a degree its exactly like owning a car or legal alcohol, people decided the downsides were worth it. So there is no solution to mass shootings.

We had 60 homicides and 390 shot and wounded in Chicago last month.

Thats how I know this is grabby bullshit. Nobody was crying and writing news stories because it was June 1st.

I read some report by some chick investigating mass shooters, and one of the only common links nearly everyone had was hero worship and imitation of columbine in specific.

Read Dave McGowan's Programmed To Kill.
Even with the establishment version, these are highly rare one-offs that normally happen once every two or three years and are stopped by universal armament.
It is interesting that they happened once every week with great media fanfare from 2012-2013, then stopped at the same time that efforts to invalidate the constitution stopped.

Mass shootings have a more direct correlation with the decline of Christianity than the amount of gun ownership.

of kings.

Is there a correlation with nigger ownership?

This is a bullshit meme.
A security guard will be thoroughly vetted, tested, and licensed.

Most people that are proposing gun laws want citizens to go through the same tests to get the same guns.

How about getting people working so they have purpose in life and the ability to support a proper family structure.
