Would you support universal gun safety training, given in high school, similar to how drivers training is?

I have seen that and laugh Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #1
A jury removed a post of mine because I stated that Bill Clinton signed major gun legislation krispos42 Aug 2016 #2
Recounting the fact Bill Clinton signed a law they want reenacted is a RW smear? Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2016 #3
I agree Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #5
I like the appeal process Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #4
That is ridiculous. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #36
It was, thankfully. krispos42 Sep 2016 #44

They really are pathetic, but the lies are all they have Lurks Often Aug 2016 #7
I don't want to get into the habit of doing what they do: Congratulating ourselves Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2016 #8
Agreed n/t Lurks Often Aug 2016 #11
Well, lies and misplaced hope DonP Aug 2016 #10
I find it especially ironic sarisataka Aug 2016 #9
I know, right, lol Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #18
Change a few words... beevul Aug 2016 #12
That description also holds for another group at DU. eom guillaumeb Sep 2016 #37
Which group would that be seeing as this group welcomes debate? Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #39
Agreed. But I was talking about another group. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #41
Just look at who is behind the controllers....and what motivates them. ileus Aug 2016 #13
Not to be contrary but... discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #14
I think it went that way a long time ago... NaturalHigh Aug 2016 #15
You can tell its successful by ALL the activism taking root over there. jmg257 Aug 2016 #16
69 or 70. beevul Aug 2016 #17
Those yutz's are simply following the lead of early Controllers........ pablo_marmol Aug 2016 #19
Agreed. Straw Man Aug 2016 #20
That entire Maddow rant was so chock-full of BS that it would take many pages pablo_marmol Aug 2016 #21
wow beergood Sep 2016 #24
Yeah.......she truly is pathetic on the "gun control"/gun violence subject. pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #26
So you think NJ's ban on cop-killer hollowpoints is BS? No. scscholar Sep 2016 #27
The descriptor 'cop-killer hollowpoints' is PURE BS. **YES** pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #28
Yes, its BS. "cop-killer hollowpoints" is exactly the kind of absolute fabrication the OP refers to. beevul Sep 2016 #29
What's a cop killer hollowpoint? Duckhunter935 Sep 2016 #30
do you even know what a hollowpoint is? beergood Sep 2016 #32
He/she is likely unaware that cops went to hollowpoints......... pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #33
But, but, they saw it on a bumper sticker! DonP Sep 2016 #45
"Cop-killer bullets" and "hollowpoints" are opposite concepts. benEzra Sep 2016 #53
If all of that is true, then... scscholar Sep 2016 #56
Because NJ passed a pointless law based on a non-existent panic. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #57
Or pump your own gas DonP Sep 2016 #59
Actually, hollowpoints are legal in NJ. THe rest of your post stands, though. benEzra Sep 2016 #68
Because of people who were fed misinformation, which led them to support the proposed laws. beevul Sep 2016 #58
Same reason that "assault weapons" are demonized. pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #60
Hollowpoints aren't banned in NJ (or to my knowledge, anywhere else). benEzra Sep 2016 #67
Gun control is a joke. Kang Colby Sep 2016 #22
A bad joke... beevul Sep 2016 #23
"Just say no" to more gun control. pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #31
"There is even a complaint about the posting of articles discussing string theory in physics" beergood Sep 2016 #25
But you posted a perfectly legitimate scientific article. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #34
my apologies beergood Sep 2016 #71
I referred to the reference to your posts as made by your detractor. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #72
If I look at the sky through rose-colored glasses it appears purple. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #35
It's a meaningless metaphor. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #38
Because they do not. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #40
According to the poster I cited in my OP Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #42
I prefer proven fact to accepted fact. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #43
And I believe you, which is why its so disappointing to see you so determined to align with a group Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #48
A question. When you said: guillaumeb Sep 2016 #52
I'm going to say some things but don't take my word for it. Poll my fellow RKBA advocates. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #54
Second on the serious time for gun crimes and follow up on straw sales DonP Sep 2016 #55
I'll "third" these ideas. pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #62
I understand that these are your personal views that may be shared. On that: guillaumeb Sep 2016 #66
I also prefer "allow" discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #69
I actually said "family" not immediate family because guillaumeb Sep 2016 #73
BGCs, carelessness, training, etc discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #79
Make training a yearly requirement? guillaumeb Sep 2016 #81
I'd be okay with an annual requirement discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #84
It's difficult to demand people do anything with their private property. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #70
The FOID card idea might work. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #74
One of the considerations is: Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #75
Training and testing might be something to subcontract to selected gun ranges guillaumeb Sep 2016 #76
Something tells me Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #77
quick question, gejohnston Sep 2016 #78
My first question would be:Does training ever hurt? guillaumeb Sep 2016 #80
If its used to turn a right into a privilege, yes, it hurts. N/T beevul Sep 2016 #82
"Does training ever hurt?" Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #83
I second that approval. eom guillaumeb Sep 2016 #85
It doesn't hurt, gejohnston Sep 2016 #86
Would you support universal gun safety training... beevul Sep 2016 #87
If it had an "opt out" provision. guillaumeb Sep 2016 #88
That's a good idea discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #89
I wouldn't object to that. N/T beevul Sep 2016 #90
Book by liberal criminologists James Wright & Peter Rossi......... pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #61
To that crowd, they stopped being "Liberal" Criminologists when they published the research DonP Sep 2016 #63
Good enough for Jimmy Carter to hire, thrown under the bus by The Controllers. pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #65
We've just been handed a prime example of how "gun control" relies on fabrication. pablo_marmol Sep 2016 #46
Seems contrary to "we want a discussion" doesn't it? beevul Sep 2016 #47
Kind of like their version of "compromise"? DonP Sep 2016 #49
Exactly right Duckhunter935 Sep 2016 #51
And not just in "Bans-a-lot Land." NaturalHigh Sep 2016 #50
Regarding guns, I get the two confused. Eleanors38 Sep 2016 #64
