False Flag Gov't Schemes for Gun control:

How does it feel to be hoist on your own petard? "Gun Violence" is the catch phrase and what do each of those proposals have to do with violence? Next to nothing really. They have to do with ownership. Background checks? First, there are background check on both gun show and internet purchases. Anyone who tells you different is lying to you. What do background check have to do with violence? Criminals (you know, bad guys) don't do background checks.
Mental health and half a billion dollars...it's not money, it's liberal laws on privacy that are going to get in the way. For instance, Obama could just order the hospitals that are tied into Obamacare to give up the information about mental illness, but that would run counter to the liberal orthodoxy of privacy.
Obey existing guns laws? Remember Fast and Furious? The White House had better start obeying the laws already on the books before they go after anyone.
Technology? Once again, criminals don't care and I don't want some cut rate computer chip second guessing my need to use lethal force in an extreme situation. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Here is a summary of actions being proposed by the administration to curb gun violence dated January 4, 2016. Notice that NONE of the proposals speak to further gun bans.

The second link is what I believe to be an unbiased fact check on the proposals.

I agree, Criminals shouldn't have guns, but they get them without going through any scrutiny. Criminals don't buy guns in stores or Gun shows.That's how you and I would get a gun. Criminals on the other hand steal them or buy them from another criminal. You're listening to these jerkoff politicians telling you how they are going to curb violence and it's really a joke. They aren't affecting any decision that would be made by a Criminal only those that are non-criminals. For example the ridiculous tax Clinton has proposed she would implement for the purchase of Firearms. That would make it harder for a law abiding citizen to buy them, but it doesn't make it any harder for a criminal to steal them. So most gun laws, gun restrictions ect will affect the average person who has no criminal past or felony convictions.

They have to change the culture of Firearm ownership which has been accepted for decades. One way they have done this is by heightening public awareness of gun violence by staging shootings. Not all the mass shootings the media has presented to us are legit. That's why I posted the Police shooting, so all can see what a real shooting looks like and the emotions it produces. Should the media show us crime scene footage of mass shootings? Yes they should, but they won't because they don't have any. The media has an uncanny ability to control how people think. Don't be fooled.

Besides the government doesn't care if you get shot. They aren't trying to prevent shootings, hell they stage the dam things to worry the shit out of the public so they will want to turn guns in to curb gun violence, it's absurd. Why would they stage a shooting, just to get public approval for universal background checks? I am afraid it goes much deeper than that.

Ever been to Mexico? Ever been to countries like Germany, France, England, Spain, Italy and other western European countries? I have, and the countries in Europe are, in my opinion, more similar in more ways to the U.S. than Mexico. The Mises site is ONE person's opinion and should not be taken as the truth, any more than the second site.

I realize that you are not very bright and remember only those statements of others that you choose to remember, but I've made myself very clear in the past -- you want to reduce crime significantly you must provide people with a quality education and prepare them for entering the workforce with skills. Easily said, hard to do.

What is YOUR solution to reducing the crime rate in the U.S.? Simply dismiss any proposed solution as usual? Or do you not think we have a crime problem in the U.S.? If you will re-read my statements, I have not said whether or not I agree or disagree with any of the administration's proposals.

No, laws can't keep someone from pulling the trigger on a gun unlawfully, but they can hopefully keep the gun out of the hands of that person and by enacting laws with tough penalties for breaking those laws, hopefully make the would-be criminal think twice about breaking the law.

As for solution: enforce the laws that are already on the books, and punish the criminals who violate those laws, speedy ... including the immigration laws, speedy.

That is why your argument that the U.S. and Mexico are similar falls apart.
