You want to reduce gun violence overnight? Send criminals prison, and do not let them out early

[limited]

We need to go after the creeps that do this sort of thing. Guns don't fire themselves.

[kenshippey]

Why don't we ban the governors or mayor's who do not hold criminals accountable, and put them in jail. As we know, there are many cities in disarray by violence.

[shawnperry]

Criminals don’t fear the system at all that needs to change!!!

[otisdriftwood]

My guns haven't got up and shot anyone, hmm. They must be well behaved

[johnqpublic]

People use knives, bombs, machetes, bats, pipes. Even airliners. Scalise is right. Deal with the real problems.

As a parent of a murdered child, the police knew the felon had guns in his home and did nothing. And the Courts and attorneys were more interested in the rights of the murderer and not the victim (My Child)! During the trial the judge stated the murderer had a life ahead and our son was already dead. The police, Courts and attorneys can’t follow the rules on the books now! And by the way, that murderer only served 90 days in jail and 10 years probation. That’s the PROBLEM!!!!

The second amendment says “shall not infringed” what more needs to be said!
Your feelings do not outweigh my rights!

[thefivetones]

Why not focus on getting criminals and illegal guns off the street.

[carlrichey]

I don’t own a gun, but to end the second amendment seems not the way . Millions of people own a gun. And they are good citizens. One nut case gets the people in a frenzy. A nut. Behind A wheel of a auto can also.

Scalise for speaker position.
True non-RINO GOP congressman.

[petercristo]

Steve Scalise and Rand Paul both suffered grievous physical injuries as a result of their public service. These 2 congressional members are heroes of the Republic and deserve Purple Hearts. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲

[pattidkrause]

If an 18-year-old can put their life on the line to protect our country in the armed forces, why can't they own a firearm if they don't have any crimes on their record?

[jesseaffiliate]

18 years old is not "mature enough" to have a gun but 12yo are mature enough to change their gender?! Sounds like dystopia 🤢

[jasonpierce]

They put laws against law abiding citizens and criminals out on the street.
Whoever let the criminals out onto the streets needs to lose their job.
Any politician congressman or president who violates our constitutional rights needs to be put out of office for violating their sworn oath to office.
Even first graders can understand this.

[finknewsfalseprophit]

I don't care if I'm in a concentration camp or on a stool with no arms or legs or just a brain in a bottle, I WILL resist and try to fight against my captors and seek to defend myself through whatever weak way I have left. The choice to defend oneself is NATURE. Trying to take away someone's ability to defend themselves sounds like a declaration of war.

[jamescontrino]

Coming from someone who barely survived a crazed gunman still fighting for our right to protect ourselves, loved ones, and strangers.God bless you brother, keep fighting the good fight 💪🇺🇸

[jackbrown]

It's Unconstitutional to Restrict anyone for what you think they " might " do... No one knows for sure what anyone will do; criminal, or not.

[chasec]

Thank you Rep Scalise! You are a man of truth and a hero for being honest about what these so called Red Flag laws actually are!

[gregorymckinney]

It’s hypocritical to give 18-20 year olds adult responsibility but not the privileges
