LD0506 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Quote Republican state senator Kelli Stargel lectured her fellow Florida lawmakers and constituents during a special session Saturday, taking to the floor to deliver a speech in which she advocated against gun control, against banning assault weapons, against allowing local towns and cities to make their own laws to restrict guns, while arguing in favor of arming teachers. Senator Stargel also attacked those who mock the “thoughts and prayers” she offers when there is yet another mass shooting. https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/watch-florida-republican-tells-colleagues-thoughts-prayers-defense-evil/ It seems painfully unfair that hundreds die in traffic accidents every day and none of them are her..............

So we'll never really an answer to how it actually plays out. We'll have accidental shootings along the way. Which means we'll go absolutely no where in the argument. I don't know what has to happen to get meaningful gun regulations passed. We can blame it on the GOP but the dems don't seem to have much of an actual appetite to do it either. It's really a loser for them anyways because as soon as a school shooting happens there will be this massive uptick in "see gun control doesnt work" style arguments. They'll catch political backlash one way or the other. Until the people make new regulations a top voting priority our politicians aren't going to be serious about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the people claiming this is the highest support for gun restrictions they've seen, caveat it with the fact that they've only been doing the research for 2 years. they have some graphics i can't figure out how to embed. the one showing support for stricter gun laws with the 3 lines in the line graph sort of matches my perception of reality. Strong public support after an incident but over the long term support is sort of 'meh', and people love to say they support it but they obviously do not vote for politicians that are serious about it (and you could argue actually vote for politicians that are against it, because they are against it, unless all this NRA support and control is mythical and not actually real... which no one has argued yet...) Then if you scroll down there's a nice chart showing support for various ideas, arranged according to how strong the support actually is. This is where I find the truly interesting stuff. Note that, given the arrangement, the "banning of bump stocks" falls roughly in the middle of the chart... That thing supposedly everyone is OK with, is in the middle at 77%. Requiring students receive mental health screening at school has more support than banning firearms from schools and college campuses as a natual law. Or banning them from workplace settings as a national law. It barely is edged out by banning assault-style weapons (by 4%) I find it interest "genuine need" for a gun has so much support. i'd be curious if that would pass SCOTUS. The qualifier is "such as law enforcement job or hunting", which kind of sounds like nonsense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
