Brave I agree with you. I just see many problems with the laws & lack of enforcement. An example is being a state that does not have open carry then changing the law to open carry & not train law enforcement or educate the community on how to live with guns in their bars, churches & grocery stores. It is like throwing computers to monkeys & thinking, meh they'll figure it out.

We need to stop being so divisive on this issue, get down to the real facts, shed the failures & change the bath water. Everyone should feel as secure as possible, from the person who has a gun for protection to those who choose not to own a gun but want to be safe around gun owners. I just think many Americans attitude regarding firearms is way too ignorant & casual, instead of respecting the fact it can take a life. It has almost become an accessory for some. An ego booster. We need change that mentality if possible. Jmo.

Absolutely agree Vantro!! 

I would add that guns should not be manufactured to look like anything, but a gun. Real guns should not be princess pink & toy guns should not be gun metal black. A real gun should not be a transformer iPhone! Seriously, a gun manufacturer has just made a gun that by all appearances looks like a cell phone, but with a small adjustment it becomes a real functioning gun! Talk about confusing children, adults & the police. Smh

Not to mention that using this type of 'gun iPhone' will have everyone thinking that people are actually pointing a gun at them, instead of their actual cellphone.  I read about it today and couldn't believe it...this should be against the law...smh

Hi Dolly,

Speaking only for myself, this is a serious topic and I find the 'cartoon posts' not at all funny and a waste of this board.

Thought we were having a healthy debate until bombarded by the 'Dolly cartoons'. In fact, the majority of every single topic on this board includes your cartoons, many of which I find inappropriate. jmo

Too often I have logged on only to log off because the board is filled with 'Dolly cartoons' and comments I do not want to engage in. Would really like to engage in dialogue (or rhetoric) that is intelligent and meaningful without the nonsense. Again, just speaking for myself.

Thankfully on this board we're entitled to post what we like and not be banned.

Sometimes individuals and groups say and do things that are so far out, the best way (IMO) to deal with them is through humor.

The idea that Republicans are demanding to bring guns to their convention lest they become "sitting ducks" is beyond outrageous. How can you discuss such a nonsensical idea seriously?

Have you read any of the excerpts I posted of the NRA's "fractured pro gun fairy tales" for children?
If you have and don't find them funny, no hilarious, there's nothing more I can say.

Braveone, I will always be me and post as I like.
Please feel free to ignore.

As I don't wish to drive anyone from discussions with other posters, I promise not to post with you or comment on any of your posts.

More than that, I can not promise.

The NRA is out of control.
So stupid to rewrite those Fairy Tales. It ruins the story for sure.
Guess rewriting American History isn't enough for Conservatives. 

Another day, another accidental shooting.This time a mother almost killed her two year old by dropping her purse to the floor that had a gun in it.

The gun fired, richocheted and grazed the child's face.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police say an Ohio man shot and wounded his own son after mistaking him for an intruder.

Officers responded to a Columbus home Tuesday morning for an unknown complaint.

When they arrived they say 51-year-old Biyaga Ceesay told them that a stranger had shot his son. Later, the man said he accidentally shot his son because he thought he was an intruder trying to rob the family.

The boy is hospitalized in stable condition and is expected to recover.

"I can tell you that there was some sort of argument - sadly over a cheeseburger, whether he wanted one or not," police spokesperson Sgt. Denise Roberts said. "Our hearts go out to the family and it's just a sad situation."

Donald Trump spoke in favor of gun rights at the National Rifle Association convention today, but security and staff at several of his prized hotels and golf courses told ABC News that guests are not allowed to carry guns there.The Trump Organization, meanwhile, claims that’s not true.

However.....Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s posh Florida club, doesn’t allow guns, a hotel staff member told ABC News.

Trump National Doral, in Miami, Florida, doesn’t allow guns either, a security official told ABC News. The resort would “much rather not” have guns on the property, said a security official with the hotel, who noted that guns are “not to be carried on our property.

”“We’ve had guests that have brought them before,” he said, but those guns “had to remain in their safe the whole time in the room.”

A security worker at Trump National in Jupiter, Florida, said “no” when asked if guns were allowed on premises by citizens who are licensed to carry them. Asked about exceptions for people like off-duty cops, the staff member directed ABC News to a supervisor, who said the hotel had no comment at all on guns at the property.

Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, Florida, also doesn’t allow citizens with concealed-carry licenses to bring their guns on the property, a golf-shop worker told ABC News.
