Because treasonous Rinos like Roy Blunt agreed to this bipartisan crap as 10 who can keep a filibuster from happening, he needs to be recalled or impeached for not upholding our 2nd Amndmt constitutional rights. Shall not Infringe and red flag laws do. May not stand up to SCOTUS challenges.

Jennifer is suggesting that school security should not be armed with firearms. I guess she thinks security should do hand to gun combat. No wonder democrats thoughts are not respected. She can throw lies and insults around, but gets her feelings hurt so easy. Tsk tsk boo hoo.

Lisa, I am well aware that RINO Blunt is no good. He has been bought and sold by the DNC. Hopefully his replacement will be a real American. I left the Navy after eleven years in 1981 when Carter had high fuel cost, interest rates as high as 18% for home, and runaway inflation. Joe is worse by far.

Jennifer, hate speech and rude insults are commonplace on this message board unfortunately. And apparently KMIZ approves of this hate speech and refuses to police it. This creates a threatening atmosphere for a community message board.

Are these weapons legal? Grenades and rocket launchers, also known as bazookas, are considered "destructive devices" by the National Firearms Act. They are also classified as firearms and are therefore legal with proper registration. A class III tax stamp would be required. Quit spewing lies.

The only people who benefit by trying to arm the entire US population are the gun manufacturers. I`m sure that was their plan all along.

At the State Fair this year they will be giving away 100 RPG's and 100 Bazooka's with ammo, free via lottery. No ID, ATF Form 4473, Firearms Transaction Record, or Cash required. ROTFLOL. Be sure to show up Jack.

Quit saying they want to take all your guns. That's completely false. Just trying to make it harder to get. You shouldn't be able to go to a gun show and walk out with a weapon able to mow down 20 people in the blink of an eye. Especially without any kind of background check, red flag, etc....

Something needs to be done about the "gunshow loophole" Anyone can go out the fairgrounds to a gunshow and buy any gun they want with no background check whatsoever

Their choice because you can go get one at the corner pawn like going to a grocery store for a gallon of milk. Plus high capacity. Easy to reload. Hopefully this new bipartisan legislation today is a good beginning.

AR-15`s are the weapon of choice for mass shooters. There is a reason for this.

Where do you draw the line as to what you can own? I'm all for having someone own a pistol and a rifle for hunting. Pass the common sense forms of regulation first. The general public doesn't need guns made for mass slaughter.

A "well regulated Militia" doesn`t men we can have any type of armament that we want. You can`t have a bazooka or an RPG in your garage. (I hope!) Gun rights have to be based on common sense and public safety

But not the Sen. I wish they would at least stop sales of Assault Weapons, and raise the age.

We already have the most gun violence on Earth. So let's have MORE guns..Sounds dangerous not smart. O'Roarke said AR-15, not all guns

There are 20,000 gun laws on the books. The National Rifle Association and other pro-gun groups have often cited the 20,000 gun laws that already exist on the books as reasons why more enforcement, not more legislation, is the answer to curb gun violence.

@Harry, so if that's the case, all hospital staff, grocery store workers, waiter/waitress, theater staff etc should all be armed then?

A solution to guns in schools is MORE guns?? How ignorant can you be? That will only bring about MORE bloodshed in schools. That's absolutely stupid. Why not just hand over guns to the students? More guns is never the right solution. Hate breeds hate. Ignorance breeds Ignorance.

Ammendments can be tweaked. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Or yell I have a bomb on a plane. Isnt that violating your first ammendment right? Why can't they change the 2nd ammendment saying no assault type weapons? I'm not saying ban all guns. Just put in common sense laws to get them.

I too would like a ban on assault weapons, AR type, etc.... Why is there so much hostility on here? I've noticed there seems to be an awful lot of insults and derogatory comments on here and coming from the same people. Why can't people voice an opinion here without someone insulting them?

I know Dems forgot why we needed a militia in 1776.same reason now. The mass shootings in Chicago every weekend haven’t stopped because of the mayor promoting lawlessness. Dems, StLouis, same stuff, it’s the regular people who need guns. Any attempt to take guns is tyrannical red flag laws=same

I agree Max, I was in the military that upheld our constitutional rights. Australia is in negotiations to become a Chinese colony instead of UK. It’s true, they have no gun rights at all. Did any Dem see what happened to HK after it was given back to China? They didn’t uphold freedom Noguns=NoRights

I just checked and the pawn shops haven't had any AR-15's since Obama was elected in 2009. ROTFLOL. Are the Dems still repeating the lies, that guns can be bought at gun shows, without an ID, or a background check? The shooting yesterday in Columbia, was not done by a Conservative or an NRA member.

Second Amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. The Constitution is a Legal Document. There is nothing here that can be tweaked. Tweaked is not a legal term?

Jennifer, I would like a ban on Democrats. Why are you so hostile towards the US Constitution? When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have them. Criminals don't obey the laws now. What makes you think they would obey the laws, if law abiding people were defenseless? Democrats can't reason at all.

The Republicans just put forward a bill that would immediately provide security to protect children in schools, but Chuck Schumer said no, because he doesn't want children in schools protected. "Senate GOP school safety bill". You Democrats can Google it, if you are computer literate.

Not only has Biden divided our Nation, he has also divided the Democratic Party. That's the only positive thing he has done, in his entire life. The left can't accurately define what an assault weapon is nor what a woman is. But there are 62 other genders in their vocabulary. Follow the science.

Max, you better look at the “compromise” on red flag laws, Blunt supports them. This means anything they deem “mentally ill” or even your credit score might trigger them “seizing” your guns. Blunt needs impeached for not upholding the constitution.

This man speaks without knowing what he's talking about. If you research what he wants to stop aggressive suppression of things like psychedelics, stem cells, and raw milk. While psychedelics is something that can be useful, raw milk can literally kill people, there is a reason it isn't raw.

You know he is the right pick, when the woke left immediately starts fabricating any dirt they can dream up of about him. Not anything new from them.

Nothing fabricated. His friend Joel Greenberg got 11 years for it. The DOJ decided not to proceed on Gaetz, but the House Ethics Committee was still moving forward. He resigned days before the report was to be released and since he is no longer a congressman he is no longer under their jurisdiction.

It's necessary considering the mandate Trump was given by the country.

He is the equivalent of the Merrick B. Garland, only politically on the Right.

No I do not like the fact our convicted felon and sexual predator president elect picked Matt Gaetz. I'm not surprised he chose someone who is under investigation for sex with a minor though. This is perfectly on brand for this administration.
