I’d also like to add that in the UK we enjoy the same freedoms that you do in the US.

@NortI think you mis-typed the 1st Amendment in connection with installing a howitzer. The 1st Amendment protects freedom of expression (freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of assembly, free press, etc.) I think you meant to refer to the 2nd Amendment, in your howitzer example, which addresses the right to possess a gun.
I feel I should preface my next comments with a disclosure that I am a Strict Constructionalist. So take my views with that grain of salt.
Boy, who put a quarter in Nort?
Thanks for clarifying.@Bootie
What he is referring to is a bill that wants private citizens to run background checks when selling to another citizen. Something that would not have prevented any Mass shooting that I am aware of but makes it sound like something is being done. He also doesn’t want armed guards at schools and was just as “passionate” when making that point approximately two years ago. We have more than enough gun laws on record to dramatically curtail murders and violence in general if the courts would just sentence the criminals properly instead of just releasing violent offended for political reasons.
In Kansas, we were one of the first states to do open carry and conceal carry without a concealed permit. I see guns on people but only because I know where to look and keep my eyes open. I am not bothered by it, because if some people feel the need I don't begrudge them their right. I have a shotgun and a pistol and those are my home defense weapons. I don't feel threatened enough to carry them on me, even though I do go to some sketchy areas of town on occasion. I also have an investiture sword from Prince Charle's Prince of Wales investiture. That's my last stand weapon.Just looking at the Texas penal code for comparison and you can open carry a handgun without a license providing you are over 21, not a felon, not recently convicted of a misdemeanour and not drunk. However you can open carry a handgun in Texas whilst drunk providing you are either on your own property or on private property with the owners permission to be drunk in charge of a firearm. Sheesh!
I was referring to the shooting in the supermarket in Buffalo, where the madman broadcast what he was doing on Twitch.I'm not sure I understood you correctly. You willingly watched a video of the murderer killing 20 children?
We can have firearms, as I said, we just need to meet the sensible criteria laid out in the law.Except the right to have guns.
That’s a genuinely good idea.Here’s my “sensible gun regulation” that might actually diminish mass school shooters. Anyone under 21 that wants to buy a weapon needs to have his/her social media presence examined. If they don’t have one that’s a big red flag too.
That is crazy. Social media is not a government mandated thing, not government regulated, has absolutely nothing to do with this. This is a terrible idea and is exactly why we own guns in the first place around here.That’s a genuinely good idea.
It does, to a certain extent, work that way already. In the United States, if you do not own a company and you are an employee, companies tell you you are an employee at will. What that means is they make the rules and if you want to work there, you agree to their terms. It also means they can terminate your employment for any reason or for no reason at all, at any time.@Artkin well you’ll have to ask Sspoom how his idea unpacks but it doesn’t need to be the govt. doing the check.
As limited companies are treated as legal entities in their own right I don’t really see why this can’t apply between corporations and private individuals.
