    How those gun laws going again?

    "Shooting in New Orleans park leaves at least 16 people wounded

    Police were on their way to break up a large crowd at Bunny Friend park in the city’s 9th ward when shooting broke out between two groups.

    A gunfight between two groups in a New Orleans park where hundreds of people were gathered for a block party and the filming of a music video has left 16 wounded, police said.

    Shooting erupted at around 6.15pm on Sunday night in Bunny Friend park in the city’s upper ninth ward, police said, although no fatalities were reported."

    • you mean laws that supposed to keep guns out of criminal hands? oh wait. criminals dont follow laws...you almost got me.yurimon
    • gang violence makes up the majority of gun crime in the states..yurimon
    • as long as there's people hiding behind yuri's comment above and NRA's lobbying, it will get nowhereformed
    • hey yuri - there is a child shooting every 36 hours, surely they aren't "criminals" tooformed
    • there are children dying in different ways accidentally everywhere. where are their parents? how much of it is preventable? you have to go through everyyurimon
    • situation which is different. you have to be careful yes its no joke but a huge responsibility.yurimon
    • whats driving gang violence in the states? which is what % of the crime?yurimon
    • er.. what exactly is wrong about tougher gun laws? why do people fight against this? fucking bizarre.inteliboy
    • whats was wrong with the drug war? or war on poverty? the idea sold, and political reality is much different with the outcome then you we realize. worth a look.yurimon
    • i'm all for solving problems at the core. which requires bit more dialogue, reality checks. thinking. the whole reaction, solution, is not going to solve it.yurimon
    • never has sovled anything with how we currently try to solve problems. and we havent identified the core problem. no one really cares it seems.yurimon
    • yuri is absolutely right that the majority of gun violence is from gangs. ignoring reality doesn't make anyones case stronger.IRNlun6
    • The Yurimon clown car continues...utopian
    • "never has sovled anything"
      What the fuck kind of ridiculous statement is that. So the fact here in Australia we haven't had a mass shooting massacre since...

    • tighter laws were introduced was just a gigantic coincidence?BusterBoy
    • But you Australians are different. Muricans are special!pango
    • Laws and regulations actually solve lots of things. Humans are fickle, irrational beings and often need to be reminded how to keep it together as a society.inteliboy
    • In theory it shouldn't be illegal to do hard drugs or own a gun -- but certainly there should be some very damn annoying hoops to jump through to get there.inteliboy
    • Yes like here in Australia, it's tough to get a gun license. So pretty much no-one entertains the idea to do so. "Eh fuck it, pain in the arse". And we move on.inteliboy
    • 1, it hasnt changed the murder rate much, 2 by your logic, paris attacks didnt happen cause they too have laws. needs more detail stats examination.yurimon
    • The "it won't make a diff because criminals don't follow laws" argument is just a pathetic excuse to do nothing. It's like not even trying or admitting shitmonospaced
    • No wonder gun nuts think laws won't work at all. Nobody has even tried for real.monospaced
    • hows the drug war going again? its been tried stats dont add up like the propaganda says.yurimon
    • in my opinion, it hasn't been tried in earnest because people flip out that it's against their "rights" and don't forget all the fucking gun loopholes out theremonospaced
    • what makes you think this move of politics is going to be as effective as prohibition as opposed to solving the real issues without laws. reason this is right.yurimon
    • I didn't say opposed to. I said gun laws are bullshit right now. If you think drugs are the real issue here, then those should also be looked into.monospaced
    • Damn stop comparing this issue with all these other issues. Such a childish way to have a debate and ignore the actual point.inteliboy
    • Yuri - what gets me is hardcore advocates just regurgitate the same silly arguments, they cannot, EVER, answer a simple question.formed
    • Avoidance and denial reeks of laziness and lack of compassion. Answer the questions w/o unaffiliated ramblings of this and and that...just answer them.formed
    • what gets me is hardcore liberal just regurgitate the same silly arguments, they cannot, EVER, answer a simple question and hypocritically cant solve problems.yurimon
    • most of us carry an obsolete, or abstracted notions of how laws work. good example is the drug war, war on poverty. both have aggressive regulations but haveyurimon
    • we are thought that if something bad is happening you need a law to curb behavior. if you study prohibition and true nature of how bought legislature passes lawyurimon
    • s and what real intentions are, their results, you will see the failures in policy. because laws usually. drug war is a perfect example in how you createyurimon
    • cartels, create incentive for corruption as soon as money is involved with super sized bureaucracies that eat up taxes with no little results proportionate toyurimon
    • spending. this is already highly documented. so you can have solutions but your indoctrination prevents you from vetting real solutions from past faild resultsyurimon
    • plus you carry this weird christian influenced notion that people are bad by default and cant be trusted without a higher power over them instead of seeingyurimon
    • deeper social failings in child development. your stuck in an institutional paradigm that is failing. so go ahead see where thing will turn out.yurimon
