Another shooting, this time in Indianapolis. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE WITH LAX REGULATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — At least eight people were shot and killed at a FedEx facility near Indianapolis International Airport late Thursday, authorities said.

This follows two other recent shootings, the lax regulations are allowing mentally unstable people access to weapons that really only the military should have access to.

Think the guns were bought over a counter?
They were for the two shooting in March, too early to say with yesterdays shooting.

If you read the links it becomes clear that the regulation in place are not enough and should be heavily tightened.
I also wish all guns went away tomorrow But as with nukes it has to happen in a smart way, and if that can't happen we can't allow only one side (the criminals) to have them. You DO realise you are hitting only the law abiding side with this idea?
You do realise that if gun sales were banned the criminals would not have easy access to both legal and illegal weapons?
Since 2017 less than a dozen people were shot and killed in Norway. So if your country can have sensible gun ownership by sensible regulations, why can't all countries do the same?
I understand your logic Riz. Me is superhappy that the guns around here are the type your grandfather kept in a locker and ammo almost can't be found nomore.

Ova there, however, it's a different ballgame and I still think you're off target.
Unless I can see some stats that support the idea that mentally unstabile registrated gun owners are responsible for a relatively large amount of shooting cases... I think 0.001%.

So you leave a whole group defenseless for some symbol politics. Can't have that in Reno.

I feel the same way about all those stabbing crimes in England. Something has to be done about those teenagers with knives. Maybe increase the jail time for possession of kitchen knives outside the home to something meaningful like 30 years of solitary confinement?

In in the USA in 2019 alone 10,213 people were murdered by use of a gun.
During the same time period in the USA 1,476 people were murdered by knife or any other cutting instrument. Guns is currently a much bigger problem. It's too easy to kill someone with a gun.

Grand, Jim would want s background check for chainsaws if he could
April 15, 2021. A bill to enact “constitutional carry” in Texas, which would allow individuals 21 years or older to carry a handgun in public without a permit, was approved by the state House.

No training is required before buying a gun. TEXAS. thumbs down thumbs down thumbs down
ps take off the ridiculous mask. i'm betting there's not a loving soul near you
rolling on the floor laughing Sometimes reading how folk think really makes me believe Im not living on the same planet as they are. Criminals will always find guns to use whereas the innocent will just have to be slaughtered. This is hilarious laugh
I find that some folk are either very very naive or they are living in a dream world. There are so many venues to obtain illegal firearms its a joke. Man by nature does things for his own personal gain eg. I can purchase a firearm from the 'Arms Master' that works for the military here at a fraction of the retail price in store, only after all this is sorted nothing will change. Many many years yet.
We need another Lockdown.

True guns are less lethal in a holster. Just really never made that much sense to harm another person. Trust me I see local law official sending rounds everywhere and not into the subject. I don't condone a respected owner. I have a carry to conseal permit.
Where is your proof of this statement Mic? Most European countries have a ban on guns the number of deaths from knives is tiny compared with deaths from guns in the US with a similar population.

The fact remains that the mentality of some in the US presents a major problem that can only be solved by a complete rehash of regulations applying to weapon purchase.

Of course, criminals will obtain weapons, no one is denying that, but the number will be less if tighter regulations are in place.

You don't need a semi-automatic to go hunting, a skilful hunter should still be able to shoot cleanly a deer with a standard shotgun.

Most would respect a hunter who used skill as opposed to just waving a rapid-firing gun haphazardly in the direction of his prey.
You ignore Shay's rebellion (as do many history books). LoL

Washington was the only Commander In Chief to actually command troops on combat duty as President.

It is hilarious that you an Irishman would sneer at the 2nd Amendment after the bravery of those resisting the excesses of the RIC and the imported police. I have met some of the brave Provos of the 70s and I am sure they would have words for you were they here. Give Ireland back to the Irish. LoL
Oh forgot to say that the reason Shays was a militia vs militia fight was that the Federal Goverment could not afford to field a Standing army at that time, another reason they weren't going to make that mistake again.
Wonderful news you're sharing- it deserves a bump to the top of the page past those pesky Christian blogs nobody wants to read.
Could you tell me what an American Christian perspective should be,as I will be hearing it from an atheist foreigner first?

Is this sensationalizing, or terribly important we get this from your news choice or are you more affected across the pond than I could ever comprehend. What's the drill here General.

The difference is that Atheists and non-Christians don't post boring meaningless blogs designed to displace the interesting blogs off the first page.

I love direct people ..knock yourself out!!bouquet
Please no nibbling any bones..neckbones or drumsticks...wow

Ken...for goodness sake, tell me that IS not what I think I'm looking at. If it was reversed that animal's organ would be sold on the black market as some kind of aphrodisiac or for weirdo incantations or science.doh
he needs a vax like canines get, for brain rabies
To help 'remind' the gun-owner of responsibility, they could bring out a law that all legal gun-owners should send a written affidavit, testifying that all firearms are not stolen, still in their possession and safely locked away in a gun-safe etc. to the designated authority, every 3 months.
This cumbersome task will not only remind the owner to take responsibility but would also dissuade the prospective buyer to think twice before purchasing something he cant/wont look after.

Just an idea for a lil more control instead of completely banning the ownership of guns.
