Shooting guns are planes is a dumb idea regardless if it's a Marshall or a pilot who has run in the back to act out his best Steven Segal lol
It is not ideal.

Yet, If you believe the "official narrative" of 9-11 a few well placed shots could have saved thousands of lyfes and 4 buildings from controlled demos and the pentagon from a missile.

Guns are not the answer. Tasers make more sense
Tasers work substantially less well on drunks or drug users. Seeing as that's going to be making up the majority of your incidents, I'm going to say that's not the best idea. They also have a higher death rates than you'd expect. Turns out there's a reason they refer to them as "Less lethal" instead of "non-lethal". Realistically tasers should be banned, but they have a really, really good marketing department.

Did a quick search. Marshall's might have slow bullets (weaker explosive?) And ceramic bullets. Shit like that

I'm still just anti-guns on planes tho. I know alot of you love guns, but I don't like being near them

If shit pops off on a plane, I'm going to throw down. But I hate the idea of stray bullets

Not gonna lie, I've gone to like 5 movies in the last 15 years since im scared of movie theater shootings (despite the low odds)

I just fucken hate guns

Ps. Worlds full of pussies

I love you, but these are a lot of very irrational fears.

so you only care if people die by guns? What do you know about crime in CA?
Per capita, it appears to be about average for America in violent crime rates.

But we are talking gun restrictions impacting gun homicide and mass shooting rates.

You seemed to feel pretty strong about the stats for the Federal AWB showing no impact but seem to shy away from talking about the statistics coming out of the state with low gun homicide rates per capita and some of the most restrictive gun laws.

You know what I do for a living.

If the mosque shootings had taken place the previous Friday or the next Friday, I would have been taking calls from inside the mosques like several of my colleagues were. I would have heard dozens of people screaming and begging for their lives - and then shot dead - while the gunman was in the background yelling racist abuse at them.

I don't have a lot of patience for people lying and shilling about this shit.

And for the record, handguns are responsible for a hell of a lot more suffering and death than AR-15 style assault rifles are - but I can see the argument for why handguns are appropriate weapons for self-defence. The guns that Breivik, Tarrant, Mateen, Paddock, Crusius and others used to massacre hundreds of strangers? They are not defensive weapons. They are assault rifles.

??
Depends on what you're defending and who you're defending it against. If it's practical for defending your liberties from a well-regulated militia, and AR15 is supremely defensive.

I think that things like "mental health care access" and "Law Enforcement accountability" solve these problems and a lot more problems that are a lot more important. Limiting access to AR15s is impossible to accomplish in a way that will impact the lethality of these events.

How do you limit access to AR-15s? what is the mechanism that you're going to use to accomplish this?

And in the time that it will take and for the money it will cost, couldn't we have a done a whole lot better by addressing the fundamental issues?

I think you're cherry-picking a data point that doesn't carry across the population.

Number #1 in violent crime is Washington, DC - they have some of the strictest firearm laws in the nation. If limiting firearm access is such a panacea, why can't we talk about Chicago and NYC?

Cities vs states? Seems a strange way to compare.

California as a state has the strictest gun laws in America. California has a low gun homicide and mass shooting rate per capita.

Stopping toxic flow of guns from U.S. to Mexico
Mexican officials have said that a significant part of the epidemic of violence and crime that has plagued their nation in recent decades is driven by the illicit traffic of weapons from the U.S. Mexico has restrictive firearms laws, with one gun store in the entire nation and only about 50 permits issued per year. Between 70 to 90 percent of guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico can be traced back to the U.S. Drug cartels, in particular, buy those weapons in the U.S., mostly in Texas or Arizona, and smuggle them across the border.
