“I hope that we can do some rapid response,” Orchid wrote. “Perhaps this is the perfect time to push out the new microsite petition around guns on campus.”And the 'tribute' site set up by lefty group 'ProgressOhio'?
“New email acquisitions will be shared with Mayors Against Illegal Guns and a small subset of these names will be shared with OCSGV [Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence].”Isn't that special?
A teenager has been arrested after killing nine people and wounding four others in a knife attack in northeast China, state media reported Thursday.So yes, even outside of using fire or explosives, mass murder is entirely possible without firearms.
But as LeagleEagle 45 notes in the comments:
"But outside of Massachusetts and other progressive pockets, 33 states, including Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont make guns readily available from private dealers without ID or background checks. Not only do these states have remarkably higher firearm fatality rates, but they undermine stricter, more responsible laws in bordering states"
1. Ban the manufacture, possession or sale of nearly every semiautomatic rifle, pistol and shotgun you own.F*ck no. The only purposes of this is to make a polical statement and to try and restrict whatever he can. Along w/ the boilerplate AWB, likely provided by the gun control groups, is preceded by this piece of laughable material:
2. Specifically ban Glock pistols since they share a common design with the Glock 18, a select fire handgun.
3. Require you to register every semiautomatic firearm and every magazine you own that exceeds 10 round capacity. The kicker is that, under Quinn's proposal, the State Police can charge you unlimited fees to register your guns. Thus if Quinn's bill passes, you could very well find yourself paying $100 or even $1,000 per firearm per year to comply with the law. Additionally, you could find yourself paying $50, $100 or even $500 per year for each "high capacity" magazine you own. Can't pay? Well then you would have to surrender your guns to the State Police for destruction.
I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution– the right to bear arms.Which is why he's spent his entire career working w/ anti-gun advocates to ban everything from handguns to ammunition. And the usual double speak:
There is no place in the State of Illinois for weapons designed to rapidly fire at human targets at close range.Except for:
The ban would not pertain to law enforcement officials or members of the military.So according to Quinn, it's perfectly acceptable for police or military to fire rapidly at human targets at close range.
Within 48 hours of the terrible tragedy in Aurora, Colorado, (before the facts were known besides a gun was used), a newThere, that's better.campaignfundraiser was launched called We Are Better Than This. It was based on the fundamental belief that we arebetter than a nation with mass shootings like the one in Aurora, Colorado, and better than the 32 gun murders that happen every day.desperately short of money and need to take advantage of opportunities like this to keep what little staff/influence we have left.
