At least every one I've read up on... These are very damaged people who have suffered greatly on their path to these horrific acts. There are a great many signs and if we were paying attention we'd be able to prevent the vast majority of student shootings from happening. I am supportive of criminalizing the sale of guns to anybody who isn't legally an adult. I'm also supportive of making people under 25 legally not adults. I am not supportive of making any race based gun laws...
Key word is "Effective". That doesn't mean they can use it at 50 meters. 150 ft is a long ways. I'm not that good. Even 60 ft (20 yards) is a great shot when i hit it. For most people the general rule is start at 6-10 ft. When you get that set then start moving out. The 21 foot rule is there for a reason (police knife attack) . Any hit at 50 yards would be a very good shot but for practical uses you would be hard pressed to prove you were in danger so it might be a bad move to take that shot?

I understand all that. But the discussion was effectiveness in the hands of a killer in a room full of people, not lawful self defense.
As do I. Limited number of very large rounds would make it less effective for a mass killing like this than a handgun.
Okay. I get it. Room full of people and just pulling a trigger. Bound to hit some of them and it would be just as deadly. Yes totally agree. Possibly even more effective because you could actually wield two guns at the same time.
So this is the kind of crap i really hate with a passion. Yes i did as much fact checking on this as i could. So very much about it is false but the Right Wing Nuts will run with this all fucking day.
When America No Longer Exports Carnage As A Business Model, Maybe We’ll Stop Seeing It In The Streets Here https://popularresistance.org/when-...aybe-well-stop-seeing-it-in-the-streets-here/
Hello, Unfortunately not. This is just a reboot like all the other crappy movies out now. Hollywood has lost all creativity.
Bipartisan group of senators announce agreement on gun control A bipartisan group of senators announced an agreement on principle for gun safety legislation Sunday, which includes “needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons,” they said in a statement. Notably, the announcement includes the support of 10 Republican senators, which would give the proposal enough support to overcome the Senate filibuster. The agreement is significant given how divided lawmakers have been over the gun issue, but the actual legislative text is not yet written. The proposal includes support for state crisis intervention orders, funding for school safety resources, an enhanced review process for buyers under the age of 21 and penalties foe straw purchasing. The group on the release includes Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Thom Tillis and Richard Burr of North Carolina, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. Democratic senatores on the release include Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly of Arizona, Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Chris Coons of Delaware, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan. It also includes Sen. Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/12/politics/senate-gun-safety-agreement/index.html
Glad to see something being actually done. Looks like it's includes some things we have been talking about here in this thread.
