Comments to Hear GOP lawmakers speak on gun laws after Nashville shooting

  • How about putting the blame on the one who pulled the trigger or the government who's inactions on mental health health causes the issue to begin with.

    @user-py6tl9fe6j April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Republicans are getting too much money from the NRA to do anything.

    @ProtectChildrenNotGuns April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • So u would rather the guy make a pipe bomb than a gun??? The tool used is a little mute isnt it?? People who want to hurt will hurt, they will find a way..

    @tommodeski8637 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Hey "TRUMPERS" You do know the Donald stated he'd abolish the U.S. Constitution?
    So Be careful what your ask for , because That Also includes this:

    How is the 2nd Amendment stated in the Constitution?
    A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Js

  • Came here to a gun control issue on CNN for the laughs. You leftist communists did not disappoint. Such ignorance under the guise of "safety". How are all of you okay with, if not desperate for, the govt to take care of you and your day to day life? So pathetic and sad.

    @jamescasady3356 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • When asked what his responsibility was, Rep. Ken Buck said he would defend AR15 owners. I know he was elected to protect the Constitution, but wow that seemed cold to me.

  • .22 cal and .17 HMR=small game
    .223 rem, .243 rem, .270 win= Varmit or mid sized game
    .30-30 win, .308win, 300 Win Mag, 6.5 Creedmore, 7mm mag, 30-06, and so on is for large game

    The AR15 Is a very mild gun. Light recoil, inexpensive ammo. The design is modular making it a great all purpose gun. But in the scope of rifles, one of the less powerful ones. Now you can get an AR Chambered in almost any caliber. If you banned the 15, you could still get an AR 10, which is a .308. And manufacturers can make a rifle in that frame for any caliber. If you ban a .223, they'll make it in .243 and on up. The redundancy and ignorance of banning any specific gun is just stupid. Ban the smallest rifle and criminals will start using more powerful ones.

    @patrickthompson7998 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • And for the record "assault weapon refers to a full auto military rifle, not a semi-auto sporting rifle. The technology has gravitated towards that design because the AR is adaptable. You realize I can take your .22 and put u in an AR frame? It's the same gun, but not to the ignorant.

    @patrickthompson7998 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Anyone who claims you don't need an AR15, please allow me to enlighten you. I'll put you in a hunting situation where you would BEG for one, WITH a 30rd magazine. You realize predator hunting is a necessity of range management? You know, to keep the deer a d other wildlife populations healthy? Ever been in the bush and faced a pack of 30 + well fed, aggressive coyotes or wild hogs? Hit me up. I'll be glad to take anyone who is not too cowardly to hunt predators with me. You'll change your mind, fast!!!

    @patrickthompson7998 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Rigidly conservative senates are a true bane of democracy. Same occurred with the house of lords in the UK.

    @xa-12musk8 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Your mass shooting stats are very wrong. You counted gang war violence, robberies shoot outs with police. Most of all the 640+ mass shootings you showed actually involved multiple gunpersons in a single incident/shoot out. A mass shooter is a lone wolf situation going after soft targets/innocent groups of people whether its a church/movie theatre/ school/ public park.
    But no CNN the arbitor of Lies wont provide any context to those numbers.

    @brandonsheffield9873 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • American politicians are laughable. Their logic is flawed.

    @effystonumerrr April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Just disappointed appointed with Gop. Ban guns not books.

    @knitlamb5125 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • It ain’t right that I have to lose my guns!
    But it def ain’t right for kids to die from them!

    @Randomshortvibes April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • 40 Interesting how buildings that have celebrities and politicians and even news agencies are fortified with security and schools aren’t:(

    @KeithCindyPanama April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • The main problem is people being killed!! It is true guns don’t make up the guns mind to kill people. Guns make murder of others a lot easier however.

    @earlgrandstaff3005 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • National Firearms survey stats, say, there are, 1.67 million people that use firearms for defence yearly. 82% never fire a shot.
    That's 4445.34 people per day,use a firearm to save a life. The FBI, has it between 1.5 million known & 3 million per year.
    On average the Anti Gun community says, that 100 (36,5k)-130 (47,450), people die from firearms daily of BUT,they don't tell you that more then half are suicide,and that don't include the 1-2 million that commit or survive suicide by other means and 80%-82% of the rest is Gang on Gang & the rest is crime against citizens, accidental and police shootings.
    Per the CDC'S Sight, the so called, GUN PANDEMIC/ HEALTH ISSUE,came in at #23 from the top of ways people die in this country with #1 of course being the worse. Now,this doesn't include the 130k that die from Snake bites yearly or the 250k that die from Dr. Negligence yearly or the 600k Abortions of witch 1/4 are done at full term from what I hear. THAT'S (MURDER) 150k full term Babies aborted and NONE of the Mother's or Medical staff charged…so this puts the way people die from Guns, down to 26 on the CDC'S Sight just to mention some other one's and don'tforget covid. So were is this So Called "Gun PANDEMIC/HEALTH issue…
    To Recape-OVER 35x'S MORE, PER DAY, a firearm is used for defence. 35x'S more.Look @ what they got away with in the last 4 yrs, now Imagine what they will get away with IF, they take our gun's…
    HISTORY FACTS:
    Switzerland, issues ALL of it's citizens GUNS and proper training witch gives them the lowest rate of GUN crime of any civilized country in the world, and if you try to use the excuse that they have strict gun regulations, then you have to factor in that we have 36x's more people and GUNS then they do, in an more dence populated cities. If you do the math, SHOOTING death are a very small %.
    Around 0.012% YEARLY
    THE Government tells us, taking GUNS, via "Buy Backs", or via shaming and using mass shootings, is for our protection. But history teaches diffrent and here are some examples…
    1911-Turkey ESTABLISHED gun control then from 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians,unable to protect themselves, were rounded up and exterminated…
    1929- Soviet union does the same with GUN control,and 1923-53, about 20 million of it's citizens met the same fate by it's GOVERNMENT…
    1935- China does the same to it's citizens from 1948-52 about 20 million political people met their maker thanks to Chinese government.
    1938-Germany, well we know this part. From 1939-45, 13 million Jews met their maker.
    1956-Cambodia 1975-77 exterminated it's 1 MILLION EDUCATED people.
    1964-Guatemala, from 1964-1981 100 THOUSAND Mayan Indians wdrdd exterminated.
    1970-Uganda from 1971-79, 300 THOUSAND Christian's, exterminated.
    A total of 56 million people were rounded up and MURDERED by their GOVERNMENT in the same of GUN control, and our safety in the 20th CENTURY alone.
    P.S.
    3-4x's more people are killed by other weapons,like knives, and BEATINGS BY HANDS AND feet per year than guns 3-4X'S per year per FBI UCR UNIFORM CRIME REPORT yearly.
    THE GOVERNMENT, HAS ONLY ONE AGENDA FOLKS, AND THAT IS, TO DISARM US. FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE HELPING YOU WILL RDGRET THIS IF YOU DON'T WAKJE THE FUCK UP…

  • No gun ban! Democrats employ fmr special forces on civilians. Keep all guns and open up more!

    @AnhTuPhucDerrickHoangCanada April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • I can't believe cnn is advocating for disarming trans people when there is a trans genocide happening in this country.

    @burtmcgurt3577 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Im all for the 2nd amendment but america is not the same as the 1950 and so forth america today is sick we have way to many unstable people in this country and mental health is at a all time high now if you are a healthy and a law abiding citizen then yes you should have every right to practice the 2nd amendment but I’m at a point we’re it is time to do back ground checks and mental health evaluation

    @MS-nm2kt April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Blaming these problems on mental health is a complete farce and a purposeful distraction.
    It’s likely everyone in their lifetime will suffer some type of mental health issue or crisis.
    America doesn’t even provide for public health for its citizens so the thought they will somehow address mental health as a way to solve gun violence is absurd fallacy.

    @aaron4387 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Why not have a referendum about gun control

    @davidfelton3772 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Because we draw our LIFE from "God," we draw our capacity to think and love from "God." Even as "Father-Mother Consciousness" is creative, so is our consciousness creative. With our minds and hearts we actually form the plans of our own lives and experiences.

    And what kind of lives do most people plan and form in their minds? If someone annoys or hurts them, they retaliate in some way or another, they believe that if their eye is taken, they must expect the adversary's eye in return. They believe that whoever kills should be killed as punishment and compensation, they believe that whoever robs them should pay the price, that whoever steals their wife, should be stoned along with their wife. Most people believe in the extraction of payment for every evil thing that comes their way. Since it is human nature to hurt others, and most people have been taught to retaliate, their lives are a continual scene of warfare – warfare in the home among husbands, wives, children, neighbors, public figures and between nations. "God" knows nothing of this warfare in their lives, but knows the stress in their minds and bodies arising from this warfare but can do nothing – nothing to ease the pain – until they themselves stop the warfare. They themselves must cease their fighting and live in peace with their families, neighbors, employers, public figures and other countries.

    Only then, can "God's" LOVE WORK take place in their minds, hearts, bodies and lives.

    Only then will they be able to recognize and see the Love Work being done in them – and for them by "God."

  • What doesn't solve problems …banning guns … Why are pipel so dumb ..

    @cyrilmatthew2995 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Americas goverment is so corrupt due to the fact there is an unlimited amount of funding they can receive from private companies.

    Telling these politicians to stop the sale of these guns is like telling a real estate agent not to sell houses.

    These politicians earn their living from being paid by these companies.

    @OffMetaProfessor April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • A gun has never shot anyone, it's the person who is sick, the 2nd admid gives us the right to bare arms and it was never to be taken away by our government. Why did they put that in the constitution, in case ur government gets out of control, the people will have a chance to take that government back. U don't have to like it, the constitution is never to be changed

    @davidharrington50 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • It’s talking points for elections only!
    Democrats owned all chambers for years Biden had the house and senate but they didn’t ban them then!
    Now they want to bring it up cause they want to have talking points against GOP!
    Same as when GOP owned all the chambers in trumps era politics play you and people fall for it every day!

    @hotelalphawhiskeykilogrunt7925 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • why not put your self in the victim's family shoes. imagine one of ur loved one killed by the gun. it just so sad this incident keep happening over and over and over again.

    @andreasrajagoklassitorus4254 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Politicians act criminally if they infringe on Americans rights. Those that try have worse plans for all Americans as history proves. What would work, ban Green Zones or Gun Free Zones dems created to force Americans to accept violating their rights for this communist take over of America. Armed guards at schools work. Also, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of SC writes the darn Red Flag Laws over and over as the Supreme Court keeps throwing them out as illegal. Use police, not killer robot dogs that violate Americans civil rights and constitutional rights. It is illegal. Politicians on both sides, as you see with Graham, he isn’t the only one, are creating the dangers and causing the shooting! Toss all their aces out! Keep the Constitution and toss the crooks in Government out, including the bureaucrats! Take your Constitution and America back from these profiteering murderers!

    @ruthgray15 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • How bout you deal with crazies ? Like the trans dude who shot up the school in tenn. Or the trans dude with the axe hittin people in the face ? Gun states are gun states because theres this thing called an election. People vote for what they want so of the majority want guns then thats what they get. You people are attempting to step around democracy and force your will on the people. Because you believe your opinion is superior . Its not the nra its the people dummies . The NRA can not but votes. The people fund the NRA and the people do the voting. You all are clueless tools of the media elite .And you are absolutely pushing for fascism .

    @bobbobbington3615 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Why did our president spend all that money to hire 90,000 new irs agents when it could have went to defend children in school?? Those 90,000 agents are not going after rich people because they avoid paying taxes 100% legally. Nope they are going after the middle and lower class people who cant afford the people who can avoid paying taxes legally. I think kids are far more important than some middle and lower class people paying their fair share. But thats just my opinion.

    @bricktop6216 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Funny how republitards dont do diddly on guns until their own are gunned down the ultimate hypocrisy

    @harrybaulz666 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • There seems to be a correlation between the boom of social media and an increase in school shootings.

    @thunkjunk April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Republicans seem to think assault weapons are their right, ask some of the students in schools what they think, bet they say they have a right to live!!!

    @anwang3741 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • Premature to discuss gun reform is amazingly insane. If private schools where their kids go to school get shot up I wonder how they might feel about the issue.

    @SpiritualSchmuck April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • But congress says let's talk about mental health but not spend any money on it.

    @SpiritualSchmuck April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • So bascially, Fentanyl is not the problem, its the person right…after all the consitution give them there rights to do what they want with their bodies, putting police lives in danger be damned….just like the gun is not the problem,the person pulling the trigger is…ok….everyone cities the second emendment and just read the right to bare arms,but they read after "by a well regulated MILITIA" and who regulates MILITIAS…well look further in the constitution it will tell you, CONGRESS! no one is saying dont defend your house…but if you live in the city, a simple handgun will do, if you live out in the boonies, then a shot gun or even an AR15 is necessary because in rural area it sometimes takes hours before a deputy shows up..

    @valleytruthers3827 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • If you do not like what the 2nd amendment says, then the founders gave us a way to change it. For God sakes do not skirt the law of the land. Self protection is a God given right which no mortal man can take away from you. Any attempt will be met with noncompliance. The Government does not know where every gun is since it is unconstitutional to track them. For those records they do have there are most likely thousands of personal built firearms which are nonserialized and perfectly legal. With the technological gains and reduced price 3D printers can print the untraceable frame or receiver of guns all day. The genie is out of the bottle.

    @youngdon509 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
  • I remember when Trump was POTUS, he signed a Law making it EASIER for mentally disturbed oersons to buy guns!

    So we should not be surorised when this mentaly disturbed person in Nashville, TN, buys SEVEN OF THEM! (LEGALLY)

    @rdelrosso2001 April 2, 2024 10:53 am
