Mitch McConnell: "We Are Open To Gun Control Suggestions"

[Matt Collins]

Republicans can't be trusted!

McConnell says he MIGHT be "open" to "serious suggestions" on new gun control measures after meeting with Comey, Johnson tomorrow. – Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) June 14, 2016


"Nobody wants terrorists to have firearms," says McConnell. "We're open to serious suggestions from the experts" who run FBI/DHS. – Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) June 14, 2016

Is this not a reasonable comment from the senate majority leader?

Mitch McConnell: "We Are Open To Gun Control Suggestions"

The mass murder occurred in yet another "Gun Free Zone". These mass murderers specifically pick locales where the victims are likely to be defenseless.
Gun Free Zones are pre-prepared mass killing zones.

Every one of the victims was unarmed and defenseless. Whenever you read a headline or hear a news story that the assailant killed 50 victims, insert the word "unarmed." The assailant killed 50 unarmed/disarmed victims.

So Mitch wants to consider suggestions to make more people into unarmed and potential defenseless victims.



[P.S. the one factor most in common among these mass murderers (although the MSM fails to report on it) is their use of psychoactive medications. Mateen's ex-wife reports he was bipolar and mentally ill. I am curious what medications Mateen was on.]

Oh, that's only the half of it. Not only did this incident demonstrate how vulnerable a disarmed populace is, it demonstrated how incompetent government is to keep guns out of the hands of the unbalanced.

Remember, this guy received a license to carry through Wackenhut, despite having been investigated--twice--by the FBI.

The government isn't trying to get guns out of the hands of the imbalanced, it's trying to ensure only the unbalanced have them.

People need to get over this 2nd amendment crap. You don't need an assault rifle in your house to protect you. If you want an assault rifle, join the army like everyone else. If Uncle Sam has any left over after supplying terrorists with them, you can probably get one.

Even if someone goes clubbing and feels comfortable taking a pistol with them, what are they going to do in the face of a shooter with a Rifle like the AR-15 carrying more rounds?

Not only that, but I expect most people going to a club will be drinking alcohol. I don't think any sensible person should be carrying firearms when they know they could be drunk.

Wasn't Matt Collins all up on Mitch when Rand Paul was? Maybe Mitch is playing chess not checkers Matt???

If I'm behind him, I can take out a guy with an AR-15 with a bar stool or a pool cue.

I could take out a guy firing a Howitzer with a .22, if he doesn't know I'm there. Or if he's dumb enough to try to shoot me first, instead of ducking behind cover.

The bad guys need rounds. If there's only one bad guy, then the good guy only needs one bullet (if he can shoot).

Best suggestion I've heard is to arm random employees - arm a bar tender, a couple security guard/bouncers, DJ or one of the sound guys, manager, waitress if she is comfortable. Lots of options.

One person can still take out someone with an AR if they don't see them, but if there are multiple armed people in a crowded room that brings a lot of opportunity for those who are armed.

Only God could make Mitch great and I have a silver eagle against it .

People should not go places where they cannot carry .Those places should be put out of business.

Stop the attack with the pistol. You get him as soon as possible, or he WILL get you. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", you take care of it, because you already had a plan for your safety when you walked in, and loony-guy currently has other things on his mind.

Not only that, but I expect most people going to a club will be drinking alcohol. I don't think any sensible person should be carrying firearms when they know they could be drunk.

Substitute "drunk" with "incapacitated", or "weakened". Now the pistol again becomes the equalizer it is meant to be.

If I'm a club owner, I have a policy in place already to try to avoid any mishaps that come from over indulgence. If I'm a club patron, I am probably enjoying a club that I already feel relatively safe in.

In my younger years, I had found myself leaving a good number of private party scenes because of the potential for violence.

The market works.

Define "terrorists". A few years ago that included Ron Paul supporters, anyone with a pocket constitution or "patriot" materials and a slew of other Americans. The terrorist no fly list is infamous for listing scores of innocent people. It had something like a million people on it a few years ago.

Signed.

Call the Senators and tell them to vote against "No Fly No Buy"

http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/

I urge you to oppose "No fly No buy"! This bill would prevent people who have mistakenly put on the No fly list, with no way of knowing how or why they were put on it, from exercising their Second Amendment rights

Please oppose "No Fly No Buy"!

Saw a FL congressman on FOX (I think) who has introduced legislation about this. I can't recall his name but think he's going to run for Rubio's seat. His bill gives everyone the right to challenge the 'terrorist' designation, the government 10 days to provide a reason for anyone being denied and a court hearing must make a determination in 30 days. I can see it now... feds will cry national security to not provide the documentation demanded.
