Kasich calls for new discussion on guns to stem violence
CLEVELAND >> Ohio Gov. John Kasich says gun owners and backers of gun-control measures need to find common ground on ways to reduce violence.

The Republican governor in an editorial published by Cleveland.com and during an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” said it’s time to bring together reasonable people on both sides of the debate.

Kasich points to a similar approach in Ohio where those in law enforcement and community leaders held forums aimed at building trust between police and residents.

That resulted in new standards for police on use of deadly force, body cameras and other issues that have been adopted by hundreds of departments across Ohio.


Kasich says he doesn’t know if bringing together both sides of the gun debate will work. But he says arguing hasn’t been effective.

Re: “discussion”

In 1934, 1938, 1968, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1994 I suspect similar
arguments were made for a “discussion” when more restrictive federal
gun laws were passed. Since all of the regulations derived from these
laws are apparently not enough, maybe you can understand the reluctance
of gun owners to entertain the idea of quietly accepting the any more.
The problem is the real agenda of the people leading the charge for more
gun control is to ban all guns except for the government and
governments (unlike individuals) have the track record for killing
people that don’t agree with them. This is really just about using
relatively infrequent, isolated incidents of gun crimes to whip
lawmakers into an emotional frenzy to goad them into quickly advancing
the agenda of gun control irrespective of any facts in more incremental
“progressive” steps in order to set a new baseline and move the goal
posts to the point where an unscrupulous government would have the
option to do what ever they please.

The one time there was compromise was when the NICS background check system came around and Pro Second Amendment folks compromised on that FFL dealers must run background checks for all sales. The anti-Freedom folks compromised on private sales not being required to run background checks.

Fast forward to now, and what do we have? The anti-Freedom bunch hollering about a "gun show loophole" and the like, complaining about the previous compromise they agreed to. Why would anyone want to compromise with these people, to only have the compromise turned around and used against them?

They don't want compromise or a discussion. They want the pro Second Amendment folks to shut up, sit down, and let the anti-Freedom folks do what they want. That is the anti-Freedom folks' definition of compromise and civil discussion.

some common sense violnce law's are what we need

Well John, you and the rest of the political correct social engineers created these problems and now you want gun owners to help you solve them. In other words, again you want to have us compromise once again further weakening one of the pillars to our Constitution that gives it its strength. Constitution John, look it up, its not just a hearty morning walk.

Guns are not the problem. Guns are the targets of Kasich and his allies. Perhaps Kasich doesn't realize this and has been duped. But I doubt it.

 

[stuck in ny]

I wonder if somebody wanted to rob kaisich, if he would be satified if they just took a $20 and not his entire wallet. Wouldn't that be a compromise? And a compromise is always best, right?
Right and wrong and rights are not negotiable!

 

[Phazer]

Since I never cared what Kasich thought before. I'm going to continue to disregard his opinions now.

Thanks.

KMA Kasich. We are done "compromising" and there's no further "discussions" to be had.

 

[Deplorable Me]

1) Keep violent criminals locked up.

2) Hold the government accountable when they drop the ball on current background checks.

3) Put Eric Holder in jail for gun trafficking.

 

[Marine Cpl]

That's who the Republicans wanted after Bush got the boot in the last election.

@CaseHardened , that's why Trump can't get anything done. That's why there is no reciprocity, wall, or any such thing. Guys like that.

I'm pretty glad my guns at home haven't decided to become violent, especially while I'm not there!

I go as often as I can to promote better control of my firearms but I still pull a little left to matter what I do, so I agree about better control, I'm sure we could all use a little.

As for the "criminal" element within our society that prefer to impart their physical attacks upon others... Well, let's make it easy!

All citizens wearing cameras (body) who use deadly force to stop the commission of any felony will receive a reward of not less than 10 boxes of ammunition for their favorite firearm! The reward will only be approved upon submission of the body camera video or video from bystanders that validate a "legitimate defensible use" of deadly force to protect yourself and/or others from said felony! Issuing authority shall not delay more than 90 days for determination of award. All correspondence shall be in writing.

Yeah!!! That'll change things for sure! Bet that "Gun Violence" abates overnight! Lolz...

Isn't Kasick (sic) the guy who lost the nod for the candidacy for Pres? Was it because his ideas and his presentation lacked any support from voters?

I've spoken to my firearms many times. They have assured me that they never engage in any acts of violence. I have to believe them because they're always sitting in the safe right where I left them unloaded.

Liberals might say, "Well...it's stupid to say you spoke to your guns. That would imply you've got psychiatric issues."

I reply, "Well...you're the one who insists that inanimate objects are engaging in acts of violence of their own volition. So, if they're able to do that, shouldn't it be reasonable to speak to them about their actions?"

He lost cause he is a RINO..
All of his state's success was from fracking.

1) Keep violent criminals locked up.

2) Hold the government accountable when they drop the ball on current background checks.

3) Put Eric Holder in jail for gun trafficking.

One thing to add the cops need more cooperation to get the murder solve rate above 20%

 

[GuyMontag]

Yet another reason to despise this Woolly turncoat.

 

[Burzum]

Kasich, the RINO from Ohio.

It is high time he and the other coastal elite Trilateral Commission Republicans come out of the closet and become New Democrats.
