extended waiting periods? getting rid of the "gun show" exception? harsher punishments for people using a firearm in the commission of a crime? family background checks? banning the sale of assault weapons? Making the gun owner responsible for the use of his/her gun? These are all unconsitutional? I have a copy of the Constitution and have never noticed any of that in there.
The bigger point is that doing nothing should not be an option and making dismissive statements like "you can't" when any idea you do not agree with is in essence arging for the status quo. I think most people in this country would not agree that nothing should be done. Further, I think that all of the politicians who refuse to have the debate and who fail to act in the light of this recent horrific tragedy will do so at their own political peril. I believe this country is fed up with gun violence.
I forgot. We're supposed to be moving "forward", whatever the hell that means. You can't be reading what I write. As you say so brilliantly, want me to type slooooowwwwerrr?
Go back in the thread, read what I wrote, then we can continue a conversation if you want to. I've put out what I agree with and what is unconstitutional. You have no regard for individual rights. You only care for what makes you feel good and how you think people should handle their firearms. I'm no lawyer but I don't have to be one to read laws on the books.
Again: states can do what they wish with waiting periods and the gun show exception, harsher punishments I'm in, family background checks are unconstitutional (what if we did background checks on an entire family if someone bought a knife???), assault weapons can be discussed, and the most obsurd of all: you can not legally charge someone for a murder if their weapon was stolen and used by someone else. Wouldn't last an hour in court, especially if they report it.
This country may very well be fed up with gun violence but many of the "rules" you advocate are going way too far.
