All the designer gun laws written to stem violence aren't working, are they?

...10:47 a.m.: Reynolds students (click here) are now talking about what they heard and saw:
  • The gunman wounded a teacher, then was trapped in a bathroom.
  • The confusion that occurred about the number of gunmen at the scene apparently happened because two students were found carrying guns when authorities did a pat-down.
  • A 14-year-old boy who was in the gym said he heard a loud noise. He and his friends thought something had fallen. It was a gunshot. 
10:39 a.m.: As parents waited at the Fred Meyer parking lot for their kids to arrive on buses from the high school, many talked about Todd Rispler, the lone teacher injured in the shooting. Nikki Vance, the mother of a junior at the school, said Rispler has taught at the school since at least 1999. She said he is a great coach. "He is one of those coaches that encourages and takes real pride in his students," she said. "I don't know anyone who doesn't like Todd."...

Universal background checks can't pass the US Congress.

Seven states have the toughest gun laws in the country and they have the lowest death rate.

New Jersey has the highest population density in the country. Because of that reality the state has maintained stringent control of guns for decades. New Jersey is considered fifth in gun deaths in the nation and third in controlling guns into getting into dangerous hands.

Gun control works. It simply does. The only way to control gun deaths is to control guns.

I don't want to hear from the NRA how guns are supreme to human life and the right to live that life. We already know who the gun nuts are and they are criminals. They want to water down every gun law in the country because they have a philosophy of self-defense. They aren't interested in self-defense, they are interested in anarchy and dismantling the federal government. 

District of Columbia v. Heller - 07-290 (2008) (click here)

 1.(f) [...]
United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174, does not limit the right to keep and bear arms to militia purposes, but rather limits the type of weapon to which the right applies to those used by the militia, i.e., those in common use for lawful purposes. Pp. 47–54.

  2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose:  For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.

The laws in states that obviously don't have success in preventing violence simply disobeys this precedent and allows guns in schools, parks, restaurants and any other public venue with the 'idea' having guns everywhere prevents deaths anywhere. 

It is not possible to have guns everywhere. Guns are expensive and expose the majority of Americans to make choices between gun purchase and paying the food bill. It is not reasonable to think Americans can own guns in the same way they pay the water bill. 

There is no statistic proving if there are guns present there are no deaths. Quite the contrary, the suicide rate among men result because of the presence of guns primarily.



Suicide is the third highest killer among the young in the USA. (click here) Where do we find homicide - suicides in the USA? Where do we find them most often involving violence against other young people? That's right schools. And what do we know? Suicide is the third highest reason for death among the young. And what is the favorite method of suicide? In 50.5 percent of the deaths in the USA of men that commit suicide it is guns. 

When are gun laws in the USA going to finally reflect what we know rather than what is politically correct according to the wealth merchant, the NRA?
