I truly think that if the right doesn’t come up with some compromises on gun legislation to start preventing SOME of these shootings then the government will find a way to go full Australia and take all of our guns. I also don’t think that our current gun regulation is working. We state that this is a mental health crisis, I absolutely think it is and we should do things to tackle the mental
Health epidemic, but also I think we need to put in place some controls on the back end to prevent this type of attack (deranged lunatic).

-Close loopholes on all commercial sales of guns, this is the manchin-toomey compromise. But the government should also be required to make the background check be performed instantaneously, no 7 days to perform bullshite.

-non citizens can not purchase or own firearms, this is restrictive as currently legal residents can buy guns. In my view the constitutional rights apply to citizens.

-require anyone under 30 purchasing a semi-automatic long gun to go through a state approved or military approved psychiatric check to prove mental stability. The basis of the check should be is the person mentally stable enough to not commit a felony. After 30 there is enough record of the person within law enforcement databases that a person will not commit a felony so the psych check is not required.

-Persons on anti-psychotics or anti-depressants cannot purchase a gun.

I know that the vast majority of this board will downvote to oblivion, but if there is any merit, what compromises could be made here?

My main point is that the vast majority of mass shootings on innocents are performed by under 30s men who have history of mental health issues. If we can vet that age range better for those issues I truly believe we can solve a lot of these issues. Still allows for a person to purchase a pump action, bolt action, or handgun for hunting/self defense.

That will stop people from seeking help in the first place. Although a lot of people think these anti psychotics are causing these things so that may help too.

The right has been compromising for 50 years, the left takes and gives zero....the left just keeps dominating the tug of war game.

A person that would compromise liberty for safety deserves neither. This is the cost of a truly free society.

What part of “Shall Not Be Infringed” is difficult to comprehend?

There is no compromise.

We've already compromised too much. No more.

Virtually all of the recent perpetrators of mass shootings have been on some kind of anti-depressant or anti-psychotic meds.

Aside from the fact that your ideas are shite, do you understand what "compromise" means? I don't think you do.

if a 'compromise' is made, it wont work and there will still be shootings.

Guess what happens then? The same thing as all the other compromises conceded by GOP

Civil War II is inevitable

You have already compromised and don’t care. A person with a felony cannot own a gun. Unless you do care about that, I’m that case you are most likely a lunatic.

That's funny.. I truly think that if the right DOES compromise on gun legislation the government will find a way to go full Australia

But logically. Some of your ideas make sense, in a perfect world at least. But just imagine the clusterfck if government gets involved with private psychiatrists and the like. If you took wellbutrin for a month when you were 25 you'd probably never be able to buy a gun again because of the shear, unidentifiable wall standing between you and someone who could actually fix that and then getting them whatever paperwork required to fix it.

That's definitely an infringement.

Listen, I despise the leftists as much as the next guy, but they’re still entitled to their natural rights.

I'll compromise on my 2nd Amendment rights when the left compromises their right to vote. How's this, you are only allowed to vote if you vote for the people I think you should.

frick your gun control agenda, your rights aren't any more important than mine. I'm not giving mine up
