Gun owner here- today is one year since the Covenant School shooting, & not a thing has been done about the lunacy that lets those weapons walk the streets. Rational solutions exist, just not brave & logical people in place that will affect change & get to a rational solution.
@kelly_english Thank you for sharing Kelly.
@kelly_english Honestly, this type of energy needs to be spent on the hundreds of murder/shootings in Memphis where people who are patently possessing illegally are not being dealt with socially or legally.
@kelly_english This could be fixed today with one stroke of the pen. EO to add a 100 per bullet tax on every one sold starting right now. The money goes to mental health initiatives. If it cost 2000 to empty a magazine, people would think twice. LEO exemptions of course along with schools etc.
@kelly_english Let’s hear the “rational” solutions. It’s my guess that dealing with mental health issues is not on that list…
@kelly_english Which law would you like changed that would have made a difference? Which law would you like to see added that would make a difference?
@kelly_english Kelley, I am a gun owner also but:
All this could /should be fixed by these few things. 1. Stop letting these kids get away with bullying! 2. Get rid of the gun show loop holes 3. Stop the private sale of guns. 4. Fix the mental health industry the correct way … throwing money at it does nothing. 5. And this is going to upset a few people. DESTROY THE FUCKING INTERNET ! This is my main point. Apps like TiKTok , Facebook ,X , Snapchat all of it is a safe place for bullying and mental health damage to young people. Everything about the internet has destroyed our home and family values at epic levels.
@kelly_english Go be a local Rittenhouse on the way home. Make a true positive difference
@kelly_english I agree! Reinstating concealed carry permit requirements (that law enforcement begged legislators to keep) would give police an arrestable offense for bad actors in the street with guns. It wouldn’t have prevented Covenant, but every cop will tell you they’d love to have it back!
@kelly_english I’ve got lots of guns but I haven’t seen any of them walk. Maybe it’s the people carrying the guns that are the problem.
