Spoken from a person that never has own guns. They put safety features in cars not restrict access to cars. In some states they let 16 yrs. old behind the wheel, others 18. In 6 states at 14. In 2019, almost 2,400 teens in the United States aged 13–19 were killed behind the wheel and about 258,000 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes. That means that every day, about seven teens died due to motor vehicle crashes, and hundreds more were injured. That's just that age range. You have by far more in other ages.
I have never seen a mental health test to pass a Driver's exam or buy a car from a dealer or private sale. You don't even need a license to drive a car since its very accessible to get in a car and cars are used in 99.9% of all crimes in the U.S.
Guns have many safety features. What do you want to make a lock mechanism to the trigger of all guns by the mental thought of the user? We are not there yet in technology.
The guy couldn't even make it past 5 minutes before turning his speech into a political issue. At first I was like, "wow, not a bad way to start. Solemn words and you can tell he's deeply upset, as someone who lost his own son."
Biden: "However, the gun lobbyists..."
Me: "Aaaaaaaaaaand there it is!"
As if Salvador Ramos gives a hoot about the NRA or the gun lobby. The guy was insane, a complete nutjob and very obviously, criminally insane.
If we ever knew how to write laws to prevent insane people from murdering other people, don't people think WE WOULD HAVE ALREADY MADE THOSE LAWS?????
And Republicans are any better when it comes to gun rights?
Please list the past Republican presidents that have done away with any significant gun laws once they won elections and were in power? Surely they got rid of some right? After all, Republicans are said to support gun rights for citizens, are they not?
Why would Republican administrations, KEEP THE SAME GUN LAWS IN PLACE?!!!
***Perhaps there are not really 2 different political parties? Maybe its just one, disguised to look like 2?
You completely missed the point. Biden..you know the idiot in chief, has held some kind of title in the US Government for over 50 years now. He has not done a damn thing...he's all talk no action.

After 13 service members were killed in Afghanistan I have hated the man and used FJB quite often. Like you, I don't use the word hate on something unless it's warranted.

He should have listened to his buddy Obama and his Sandy Hook speech. I never cared for Obama, but that was one time that I agreed with him.
What about the thousands of children who enjoy hunting and target shooting? And of course, that would mean no one in the military under 21.
Average gang member is 15 years old and considered to be 'children". So we have gang members under 15 who get guns despite the laws. Make more laws????
How about enforcing the laws already on the books????
Release juvenile records!!!!!!!!!
