#2Another moron feeding into the liberal mentality. Trying to make American unsafe via emotions and not on facts. When do criminals obey laws? Why does CA have such strict gun laws, but people still get killed. Why are so many killed in Detroit everyday by handguns but MSM/liberals/Democrat's dont care. More guns laws dont do anything but impead law abiding citizens.. Just look at the past shootings.. People will get around the laws todo whatever they want to do. How do you stop a bad guy with a gun? With a good guy with a gun.
Not a single NRA member has done any of these mass shootings, but they are first to be blamed for it. None of these people think about our history, or how rural American use guns daily to defend the farm from animals, and crazy people. What part of the 2nd amendment do you not understand. "shall not be infringed"

The Onion is typically an unreliable source, why not listen to 538 writers who did the research?

#5@GeoffRalston, Who is giving you money to say and agree on dumb shit like this? Go read the Obama era CDC research on gun violence and learn something instead of agreeing to things that are not based on facts.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think the "liberal mentality" is a problem.
Plenty of liberals realize they are actually pro-gun if you just sit them down and explain the restrictions which are already in place. The democratic party has been hijacked by Bloomberg dollars through Everytown, which is why the candidates all went way further left of the overton window.
At the end of the day, people believe in self-preservation, but they've been misguided by the media to believe that gun laws are something they are not. Basic facts can cut through their lies, the hard part is promoting that message without billionaire funding.

Yes, you said it better than I. MSM/Dems constantly lie about the facts to push for gun confiscation, when the facts dont align with they they are regurgitating from the gun control playbook.

#8It's sad to see an apparently intelligent person embrace this kind of stupidity.
Rates of firearms ownership in the US have been declining steadily anyway, so even IF you buy the idea that gun violence is increasing (and there's evidence that it isn't), then you have to question how "more gun control" is the answer when gun ownership and violence are already un-correlated (or even negatively correlated).

Those are my feelings too.. I understand how the public can be swayed by inaccurate media representations, but it's Y Combinator which seems to portray itself as a source of intelligent people.

#10Stop editorializing the title. The link is just a PDF file of a public petition to the Senate, where the bolded paragraph reads:
> That's why we urge the Senate to stand with the American public and take action on gun safety by passing a bill to require background checks on all gun sales and a strong Red Flag law that would allow courts to issue life-saving extreme risk protection orders.
And nowhere in the document appears "confiscation", "confiscate", etc.
