Just like you can never going to be able to elimnate mass shootings, you’re never going to eliminate the illegal gun trade in this country, but that doesn’t mean that responsible citizens and gun owners shouldn’t want to try and stem the flow.
There’s ways to implement regulations that would have a negligible impact on legal gun owners that would provide more of a deterrent to some of the current easier modes of access to illegal firearms. Especially for those of us in NY that are already subject to the handgun regulations. What’s the big deal to have the same system for long guns?
I think by having a registry, consistent licensing regulations, and consistent regulations ownership transfer, there are ways to reduce(not eliminate) the current easy access to illegal weapons. (straw man sales, repeat ‘theft’, etc) I think strengthening penalties for illegal gun sales would also help to reduce the flow. Failure to report a theft in a timely manner result in a direct liability in any crimes committed with that gun, etc. etc. Again, many of us are already under those regulations in NY(specifically for handguns), so I fail to see why it would be such a problem for those sorts of controls to be implemented at the federal level.
It always amazes me that people let the perfect get in the way of the better.
There are ways to identify weapons without the serial number.
It’s the point of arguing it will do anything to make people safer.
The fact a car is registered doesn’t make me more dead when someone runs me over.
The fact the FDA oversees food production yet people still die from listeria and other shit.
The face the government controls chemicals used to make meth yet people addicted to it goes up every year.
I’m not opposed to having to register long guns pushing in a law because people want to feel safer is the bullshit part.
If this kid would have shot up the school with a .22 they would have been beating the stats about that caliber bullet kills more people then any other each year and how we need to ban it to make you safe.

Let me give an example since some of you are missing the entire point.
Huge tragic event happens -> How can we make people safer -> Make some BS laws that does nothing -> Cycle repeats
Here is something that worked
9/11 happened -> How can we make people safer -> reinforce cockpit doors, arm pilots, create policies around door security -> Guess what can’t hijack planes.
On the fail side
Look at all that TSA shit that happened you can’t bring a water bottle on a plane from some unidentified threat and bombs/guns still get by TSA on a regular basis
The father of Newtown Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza who is a VP and Tax Director at GE Financial. The father of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes is Robert Holmes, the lead scientist for the credit score company FICO. Both men were to testify before the US Sentate in the ongoing LIBOR scandal. The London Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, is the average interest rate at which banks can borrow from each other. 16 international banks have been implicated in this ongoing scandal, accused of rigging contracts worth trillions of dollars. HSBC has already been fined $1.9 billion and three of their low level traders arrested.
In order to talk about the LIBOR scandal connection to the shooters we must first sum up who the fathers are, what they do, and what they are connected to.
Robert Holmes is the senior lead scientist at the San Diego office of Minneapolis-based FICO, New York Stock Exchange-listed company that was formerly named Fair Isaac. Holmes has a PhD in statistics from Cal-Berkeley, a Master’s in biostatistics from UCLA, and a bachelor’s in mathematics from Stanford. Over the last ten years, he has developed predictive models for financial services, and credit and fraud risk models. He is one of several scientists who patented a predictive model system used to detect telecommunications fraud.
Holmes’ Father Is Anti Fraud Scientist
Peter Lanza is Tax Director and Vice President – Taxes at GE Energy Financial Services and had been a partner at accounting giant Ernst & Young. Ryan Lanza, Peter Lanza’s son and older brother of shooter Adam Lanza, is also employed at Ernst & Young.
Connecticut Shooter Adam Lanza Obviously Not Well
Nancy Lanza, the mother of the shooter Adam Lanza, was not a teacher at the school as first reported, but also part of the financial industry as a Broker-Dealer Agent with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Nancy Lanza had retired or was on a break from her career, right now we are unclear as to which it is, but it is clear that she was not a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Next, what is LIBOR and the LIBOR scandal?
The Libor scandal is a series of fraudulent actions connected to the Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) and the resulting investigation and reaction. The Libor is an average interest rate calculated through submissions of interest rates by major banks in London. The scandal arose when it was discovered that banks were falsely inflating or deflating their rates so as to profit from trades, or to give the impression that they were more creditworthy than they were. Libor underpins approximately $700 trillion in derivatives. It is controlled by the British Bankers’ Association (BBA). I am of the opinion that exposing this fraud will expose the fraud behind this entire banker run economic paradigm. If they manipulate LIBOR then I am confident they are manipulating everything else in the world of finance.
:tup: ain’t it the truth. I have to keep my stepdad from hearing/seeing things like this cause the man thinks EVERYHING is a conspiracy. I get such good laughs out of getting him fired up about something as he jumps into some spat about how it’s the government or the chinese trying to kill us all lol
That’s the part the conspiracy people seem to ignore. Poor David Patreus can’t even keep his side poon on the DL, but somehow multiple branches of the government secretly brought down the towers on 9/11.
if they did make a law like that, homeless people would do anything they could to obtain a gun and rob a cornerstore for $1 and wait for the cops to come so they could get a lifetime of free housing/food
Thanks for the vid LZ. I think this is the point MANY have been trying to make, both here and nationally, that so many others don’t / won’t understand.
