Red flag laws are in the spotlight after the Buffalo mass shooting. They allow people to petition courts to take guns from others because of mental health concerns.

Repeal the 2nd ammendment. The US has the 2nd highest gun death total in the world. Ban ALL semi and fully automatic weapons. Nobody needs them. Minimum age should be 28. Have 1 pistol and 1 gun for hunting. More guns = more deaths and more violence.

Max

Check Wikipedia, actually we are 16th, but you have never been correct or honest before.

Adam

Wikipedia? That's your source??? Lol https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country

Adam

Ok ok...Wikipedia. The trusted internet source. Highest gun related deaths in high income countries. The US is by far the highest rated https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

Adam

Switzerland, UK, Australia, and Canada have enacted gun reforms of some sort. Since then, the firearm death rate in the US was 4 times higher than Switzerland, 5 times higher than Canada, 10 times higher than Australia, and 35 times higher than the UK.

Fortunately, I don't have your intelligence. ROTFLOL.

You do realize that if you file down the firing pin a certain amount, that you can turn any semi automatic weapon into an automatic? You can repel the 2nd Admin., but you will never get rid of guns in this country. Besides, you can buy one in any City for pennies on the dollar, any day of the year.

Mary Ann Pulley

I agree sir who needs more than one gun and one rifle for hunting?

Bonnie Sandker

If you know someone has guns and is making threats on social media etc., then they should have their weapons taken away for the safety of everyone.

Max DeYoung

Would this apply to other items that could be used as a weapon, like cars, knives, axes, poison, or matches?

Most states don't have these laws. Critics question their effect on due process.

No, because then anyone could lie and make up a reason to get someone's guns taken away from them.

Max

Although the Constitution of the United States does not cite it explicitly, presumption of innocence is widely held to follow from the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments.

Max DeYoung

This violates the Constitution.

Christopher Watson

Because you can buy a gun in just about any city for pennies on the dollar if you know where to look. No matter what law you pass, guns for evil will always be available. That is the only "Red Flag" that will always exist.

Athletes do have high profiles but they don't have much influence on major political issues.

I do care when they are discriminated against by the leagues, who should be boycotted to teach them a lesson, or worse governments like CKC. Christians are under attack in many ways. We need to stand together and fight back economically. Let our dollar$ vote. FJB should be excommunicated. FJB

It will be a remarkable contrast from everyday FJB, Joe won't be getting lost on stage, slurring words, tripping. I wonder what the difference will be? I wonder if Joe will have an earpiece telling him what to say ("pause", "salute the Marines")? We know the moderator will be biased. FJB

It'll be the best comedy show ever.

Patty Crane

The Democratic party had evolved into a Socialistic, corrupt and self-serving group that is bent upon the destruction of the middle class working taxpayer. They have adopted the Cloward-Piven protocol from the 60s, and have carried it farther than anyone ever dreamed possible. I fear the worst.

No need to watch. President Trump will destroy Crazy Joe's teleprompter.

Marilyn Russell

I can't stand to hear Trump talk - he's delusional.

Max DeYoung

You prefer the great orator, Joe Biden? Joe is is the poster child for the delusional.
