Rent-A-Cop posted:American gun laws are a total mess. They are often technically-focused, but written by people who don't actually know anything about guns. How is that different from any other law not written by an industry lobbying group?

You know, like we all wish the GOP would do over basically everything? Or will they Lindsey Graham it and say they don't remember it that way... So we should never discuss negotiations?

Radbot posted:Congratulations on locating the problem. Maybe we could read it now? Does that bullshit "well nobody ever gets to read these things" time period ever expire? Yes, when it's done and goes up for a vote/approval. Negotiations are negotiations, you leak the stuff you don't like to use as leverage, you don't leak the stuff you like because you don't want the others to question having it in. The main issue is who does the negotiation, in this case it was a lot of industry reps and almost no public advocates, that never leads to good things for the public.

Sir Tonk posted:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/texas-university-campus-carry-shooting-anniversary-charles-whitman Well it was one of the few times civilians firing back helped improve the situation. Because he was out of range of the handguns the police had and the students had hunting rifles in their vehicles that they went and got to provide a distraction while the police snuck up on the shooter. Kind of the opposite of the point they're making with the open carry movement, but any victory I guess?

Trabisnikof posted:Some open carry activists in fact do want to bring rifles to class with them. Honestly, if the deer on campus are that bad, I'd support them taking their rifle to class. mr. mephistopheles posted:Maybe they're enacting a bill allowing guns on campus on the anniversary of a major campus shooting because they genuinely believe, however misguided, that campus carry will prevent incidents like that. Sometimes people do things based on their own beliefs and not yours. Ooooh, I thought they rolled a die to see what laws to write. But trying to help, despite all evidence, hmm, I guess I could believe that.

Nintendo Kid posted:If South Korea and Japan had America-loose gun laws there's no way their already high suicide rates wouldn't be even worse. I like the story, probably from Freakanomics, about how the year after a popular movie in Japan that featured a suicide using a non-common method, the number of suicides increased by the number of people committing suicide by that method. Meaning these were people who wouldn't have (successfully) committed suicide otherwise.

James Garfield posted:It might be easier to believe "gun owners will be on board with gun control if you just stop banning useless accessories!" if the gun owners made any effort to improve treatment for chronic mental illness, as that doesn't even involve limiting guns. Well since the treatments tend to include "remove the person's guns so they can't harm themselves or others", they tend to not actually support treatment either.

So if a candidate is like "If you don't stop hurting my feelings I won't let you ride on my campaign bus anymore" instead of all the press corps going "Oh word, well you do that we will as a unit retaliate by not covering your campaign and then you are dead in the water" they go "good, good, more ratings/papers sold/website hits for me". And then they wondered why so many people tuned into John Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
