Hey, Justin, maybe it isn't what he -CSJ- would do with a gun which motivates his gun control stance. I've already taken care of not having a gun by way of not buying one, but thanks for the advice. Now if we can just agree on where the line should be on what weapons you are allowed to own.
I'm saying no to bazookas, machine guns, surface to air missiles, biological weapons, nuclear weapons, hand granades, land mines, magazines with more than six shots and anything that fires more than one bullet at a time without reloading.
Would that work for you? If so then I think we are both being reasonable.
I Agree. Machine guns as in excessive force machine gun like .50 Cals. Everything except the clips and single shot. Reason I say that is it wouldn't work in the way of thinking of hurting the criminals that want to do serious damage. For example I recently volunteered at the PD for shooting scenarios. What we did is took real scenarios and played them out to train the officers. One in particular, though you could use any of them, was the one where the guy took a AK and walked into a coffee shop, lit up the group of cops sitting there, then killing other on the way out. It is already illegal to have a fully auto rifle right? Well didn't stop him. Even if it wasn't an AK the perps just SKS rifles and file down the firing pin making it an auto. Point is he worked outside the law to harm those within. Well then we have the officers training. The PD gave them standard issued handguns. Only thing is they were restricted on rounds. 8 Each. 15 Round capacity clips though. What played out was a team of 4 cops being shot by a banned weapon while trying resist with 8 rounds each. Didn't work as well they thought. So if civilians which are the first to be targeted are thrown in this situation how do you think it plays out? A slaughter. Look magazines a already restricted and it doesn't work. For example banana clips are notorious amongst criminals. They are a big thing with mass shootings as well. Hard to defend against this kind of thing already let alone restrictions that could harm that split second decision or moment needed for the civilians to defend themselves even before the cops arrive. Landmines, rockets, grenades, attachments similar to these are of excessive force. I am not against every gun control propersition just the ones that seem unreasonable.
I'm on my phone and it is difficult to work on the site. Please forgive the poor grammar.
