Assault rifle ban will only return when voters demand it by voting in reps that will enact it. -

The whole problem is that the democrats deinstitutionalized in the 1980s and all the maniacs are out on the streets. In the good old days they were all locked up in our State Asylums. Now we let them ruin our downtowns and the gov't hands them free money to buy Assault Rifles. Nice job DemsOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

More lies
The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 (MHSA) was United States legislation signed by President Jimmy Carter which provided grants to community mental health centers. During the following Ronald Reagan administration, the United States Congress repealed most of the law.[1] The MHSA was considered landmark legislation in mental health care policy.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Trump' s allies are busy again...
When the heads of the different intelligence agencies appeared before the Senate last week, they warned that Russia had not just interfered in the 2016 election, but was ramping up attempts to affect American politics. That became clear on Wednesday.
In the wake of Wednesday’s Parkland, Florida school shooting, which resulted in 17 deaths, troll and bot-tracking sites reported an immediate uptick in related tweets from political propaganda bots and Russia-linked Twitter accounts. Hamilton 68, a website created by Alliance for Securing Democracy, tracks Twitter activity from accounts it has identified as linked to Russian influence campaigns.
What’s the position of the Russian bot army? Solidly pro-NRA and against any regulation of guns. The biggest “fact” being pushed by the Russian bots following the Valentine’s Day shooting is a story about how we’re over-counting school shootings … because the statistics are adding in just plain old murders at schools instead of being limited to instances where the shooter intended to commit mass murder.
Additional stories being pushed by the Russian bot-farms attack the same point that Russia specialized in during 2016: Fear of the other. These stories paint the shooter as a member of some foreign terrorist group and paint him as sympathetic to Muslim extremists.
And there’s another favorite target the Russian bots are attacking.
Meanwhile, some accounts with large bot followings are already spreading misinformation about the shooter's ties to far-left group Antifa, even though the Associated Press reported that he was a member of a local white nationalist group.
Considering the ties between the NRA and Russia, there should be no surprise about which way these bots are steering the news.
Considering the fact that the NRA is essentially a black money operation.
However, the NRA reported spending a record $55 million on the 2016 elections, including $30 million to support Trump – triple what the group devoted to backing Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race. Most of that was money was spent by an arm of the NRA that is not required to disclose its donors.
And that they are tightly aligned with forces inside Russia that are pushing gun sales in the United States, the NRA and the Russian bots appear to share much more than just a message.
Why is Russia so intent on pushing guns in the US? Not only does it make money for Russian manufacturers, it results in increased violence, more divisive politics, and more dead Americans. They like that.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press article shows the shooter’s true allegiances.
As the criminal case against the suspect took shape, the leader of a white nationalist militia called the Republic of Florida said Cruz was a member of his group and participated in exercises in Tallahassee.Comment

Obama was prez when sandy hook happened. That is patient zero. He accomplished nothing to stop the trend.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Ct....a democratic state. No changes to stop another sandy hook. Why not?
FBI was tipped off about this kid killer. They were too busy trying to figure out if trump had Russian whores piss on a bed that obama slept on years ago, so they were too busy to properly close out the reported threat.
Shame on democrats.Comment

In the early morning hours of April 4, 2013, the Connecticut General Assembly passed new restrictions to the state's existing assault weapons ban. Governor Dannel Malloy signed them into law later the same day.[39] The law banned the sale or purchase of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition like those used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and required universal background checks for all firearm purchases.[40]Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Gun owners challenged the law, but federal judge Alfred Covello upheld the law, ruling it constitutional and writing, "While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control." Gun owners said they would appeal.[41]Comment

Duh they created community mental health centers for all the crazies that were be letting out of the state hospitals. When I was kid in the 70s we had to drive through Norwich on way to Rhode Island beaches. Total disaster. The cuckoos were being released and had no where to go and ended up in downtown Norwich.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

On December 19, 2012, President Obama announced the formation of an inter-agency gun-violence task force headed by Vice President Joe Biden.[13] The task force held 22 meetings and collected ideas from 229 organizations.[14]Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The NRA and congressional Republicans said that violent video games were a large part of the problem, but those did not end up on the final list of recommendations.[14] After meeting with Biden, the NRA issued a statement saying that it was "disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment."[15]
On January 16, 2013, President Obama announced a plan for reducing gun violence in four parts: closing background check loopholes; banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines; making schools safer; and increasing access to mental health services.[16][17]:2 The plan included 23 executive actions, signed immediately by the president, and 12 proposals for Congress.[18]

Releasing a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.
Finalizing regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within insurance exchanges.
Committing to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
Starting a national dialogue on mental health led by Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, and Arne Duncan, the secretary of education.
The White House's proposed congressional actions were these:[19]
Requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales, including those by private sellers that currently are exempt.
Reinstating and strengthening the federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 (AWB 1994) that expired in 2004.
Limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.
Banning the possession of armor-piercing bullets by anyone other than members of the military and law enforcement.

Acting on a $4 billion administration proposal to help keep 15,000 police officers on the street.
Confirming President Obama's nominee for director of the (ATF).
Eliminating a restriction that requires the ATF to allow the importation of weapons that are more than 50 years old.
Financing programs to train more police officers, first responders and school officials on how to respond to active armed attacks.
Provide additional $20 million to help expand the system that tracks violent deaths across the nation from 18 states to 50 states.
Providing $30 million in grants to states to help schools develop emergency response plans.
