Biden to reinforce background checks for gun buyers (yahoo.com)

None of this is going to discourage criminals from illegally obtaining a firearm and using it to commit crime.  He's pandering again / still.

They're really trying to convince people that criminals buy their guns from FFLs instead of from other criminals...

What really bugs me is how much people have internalized the grief, fear and despair. They've driven people so far that they think anyone that doesn't support "common sense gun control" or "assault weapons bans" just simply don't care about children.

"We have to do SOMETHING! But NRA/GOP/etc. don't care about children!"

And it's absolutely disgusting because "assault weapons" are such an inconsequential target. But it's not something they want to hear. When people are stricken by pain and anger, they're not exactly open to new information.

Agreed.  It is tough trying to argue with their emotion with logic, particularly when the wounds are fresh.  And it's hard to counter their narrative in just a soundbite, that the choice is between gun ownership and dead children.

I know it's probably just the way it is written, but the article makes a it sound like the governor had no idea until recently, that firearms, even in justifiable circumstances, can actually kill people.

 

We know that a rifle like an AR can save lives and even the odds when one is attacked by multiple bad guys, but sadly, guys like this governor, who I'm sure has his own armed security, will never accept that.

Let's not bring logic into the conversation!

sounds amazingly like the president of the united states is threatening about half of the united states citizens, doesn't it?

Yes, definitely. That would be the half he previously characterized on multiple occasions as 'threats to democracy'.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
