If Rs were voting for gun control when out of the election cycle then why don't we have gun control? Why can't we do the bare minimum and let ATF computerized gun records or close the background check loophole? That's 1/3rd of the house + the dems, even a GOP super majority would have a hard time stopping gun control legislation.

Excellent point, unfortunately sending my 10 & 12 year olds to school with Glocks doesn't seem like a good idea. I like the idea of sending armed grandparents to schools; the GOP always has the best ideas.
That may explain it. We’ve all been discussing the decision the jury reached in the Trump ****** abuse case. That particular case regarded an accusation of **** by E Jean Carrol against Trump.
And they didn’t discuss proof beyond a reasonable doubt with you as a juror? That’s kind of unusual. Either the judge, or the prosecuting attorney, or the defense attorney should absolutely have brought that up. It’s kind of a big deal when it comes to a jury making a decision.
No, I wasn’t. Go back however many pages it takes, and you’ll see that we were talking about the Trump trial all along.
Purchasing was easier? How so? I can to a major gun show about once a month and buy whatever I want no questions asked, no background check, no ID, no registration.....
Go try that and see how it works...the "gunshow loophole" is the most overhyped thing in the entirety of the gun debate...sellers fall into one of two categories either private sellers (someone selling personal property) or business sellers...there are different regulations for each kind of sale in every jurisdiction...and the sell (whether private or business) must follow that law...any deviation is from that law is violation of administrative code whether it's a civil infraction to felony...it's not a loophole if one or both parties are in violation of the law...
Not reasonable to assume since I was speaking about myself. What I would or would not do. When our conversation started we didn't even touch on the Trump case. If you decided to make it a topic or your topic later in the discussion that was on you.
Sure you were.
The vaccine was also inanimate, yet according to many has killed astronomical numbers, perhaps more than gun violence on a per annum basis. Computers & phones are inanimate.
There are plenty of regulations on firearms...the problem is there is no regulation that will stop bad people from doing bad things...this isn't an issue of the implement used...it's a broad issue that nobody will tackle...mental health, breakdown of societal norms, isolation from being plugged in all the time, lack of nuture for children...there's so much at play but everyone thinks it's the gun that at fault and further restricting access will fix it...it's like throwing paint on a crumbling house and calling it fixed...
It clearly is a loophole since I can sell my privately owned firearms to anybody with no background check. That person could even be one of the illegals crossing the border right now, so they don’t even need to be a citizen whose rights are protected by the 2A.
My first thought with the recent Texas shooting was “where were all the armed citizens who could shoot back?”
