Framework, someone is pulling my leg. We all ready have a framework, itās called the penal code!
The only framework I believe in is the mental health resources.
What I didnāt see was parenting! Discipline!
I never thought I would have to do anything except put the idea out there. Isnāt this something everyone wants. Well except for tyrants and murderers. Do you think it is something doable. Is it something we should encourage our legislators to work towards. I think they are tired of people telling them they want them to stop gun violence when they know they canāt.
To stop tyranny and murder. I figure the best way to do it is to start a militia because it is our constitutional right and would be fitting in more with the constitution. Does that make sense?
Iām just kind of wondering how you got from saying that letting the government use a process you donāt understand to take away peopleās Rights without due process to saying we need strong We The People militias to stop tyranny.
Because it kind of sounds like the āsafety agreementā you were supporting to start this thread is in the direction of tyranny, and not the other way around.
Maybe not just one but start small ones all over. I really donāt know the logistics but your questions give me incentive. Maybe I should start a new thread.
Do you think there is a chance that starting a militia with the stated purpose to be stopping tyranny might result in being deemed unsafe or unresponsible by we-donāt-know-who through we-donāt-know-what process?
I am not going to touch the rest of the bullet points. What do these 2 mean? Affirmation of mental disorders by medical professionalsā¦ Safe space for certain groups of students from policeā¦
I read something little David Hogg said today, so I have sour outlook on the intentiins vs results.
I have given to all the comments or opinions shared here rather I agree or disagree. Reason being, everyone has an opinion and I respect others opinions. Now for my opinion if I can, one can join the service and give their life for our country at the age of 17 - 18 and once the joined, they are able to even drink alcohol at this age, carry weapons to defend our country but just because they have not joined any branch of service, they can not own a weapon to protect self and/or family?
As for red flags laws; just because someone is upset or angry with you they can say you are a danger to self or others? If a LEO claim you are a danger to self or others? Your right to protect self, family and others are gone.
I know of no criminals which cares about or obey any laws less alone gun laws.
I feel if any lawful person knowingly cross the line of protecting and disregard the law, they choose to become a criminal at that time and should be treated as such no matter the age.
Just on the Red Flag law aspect of the proposal it would be a violation of not only the 2nd amendment but also the 4th and 6th. Where the 4th demands that a person be SECURE in his person against UNWARRANTED search and SEIZURE. The 6th amendment which GRANTUTEES that a person has the RIGHT to face his ACCUSORS. There are infringements of other parts of the bill of rights but those are the most glaring.
Next, a person under 21 is old enough to decide how to vote and serve this Country in itsā military but should not have the same rights as other adults when it comes to guns? So now if one member of a group commits a crime all members of that group should be held accountable? This is an absurd infringement on an adultsā right to keep and bear arms.
Something I want to add here and that is please take a minute or two and email and\or call your stateās Senators. The more they feel the publicās opposition to this and other attempts to infringe upon our rights the less likely they are to move forward with these measures.
