Shooting at a Florida high school

This just in... the NRA is opposed to an outright ban on bump stocks, but is open to 'restrictions'.
Translation: nothing will change.
For an allegedly grass roots organization with that small a membership it is a pretty big budget.
The other 96 million aren't members for a reason and a good chunk of them support reasonable gun legislation.
Wow. First it was circumcision, then it was lack of dads, now it boys being drugged.
Despite your paranoia, most people just want reasonable changes like mandatory background checks and laws preventing mentally ill from owning guns.
I know you worry that if the government knows who owns guns they will be bashing down your door but the current registration system of hand written receipts in mouldy boxes is an absolute joke.
More American Sociopathy
Authorities say they've thwarted a plot by a student to commit a mass shooting at a Southern California high school just two days after 17 people were gunned down at a Florida high school, according to The Associated Press.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said on Tuesday that a security guard at El Camino High School in Whittier overheard a "disgruntled student" threaten to open fire on the school on Friday. Sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida tells The Associated Press that the investigation resulted in finding "multiple guns and ammunition" after searching the student's home. The student is currently in custody.

attacking the source is not an argument local L.A media reported the same story
Actually, the course is a very legitimate target.
Many outlets can report the same event, with very different results.
Some people are too dense to understand that.
The trade is that children will not be killed at schools and concert goers will not be gunned down from a hotel window.
This is not a business deal. This is trying to ensure the safety and welfare of citizens. It is their right.
Did the government have to trade something to limit tobacco advertising and packaging? What did the government give pharmacies when they were told that they were no longer allowed to sell cigarettes?
Again, I disagree with this whole negotiation thing. It is the duty of the government to ensure the safety of their people more than it is to protect a particular industry. A respectable, honest government would take the bull by the horns, tell the gun lobby that this is how it is going to be and then pass the legislation to lock it in.
Except for New England and California, the legislative cannot impose any restrictions that will annoy firearms owners. Otherwise, they will get turfed out of office. Democrats know this.
And many point out that the CIA knowing all about its citizens is unconstitutional, and a presage to a police state.
Mind you, people are actually willingly revealing their information to the US government, as they spill everything on facebook. Don't think that the US spooks don't have a backdoor to facebook?
This guy is certifiable.

He is probably right.
I'd say that if the teachers had weapons, that instead of 17 deaths there may have only been 10.:frusty:
This is a deal if you want to hope for any progress. If the pot isn't any sweeter than, "on the bright side, you get to keep what we haven't yet taken...for now" then don't be surprised if the response is no. Like it or not, you're the just the vocal minority; most Americans like, own and use their firearms responsibly.
