I will reiterate that it is fear driving this. Guns, moar guns will solve the problem. At least I am glad to live in a latino ridden country where guns are regulated. Portugal kinda is latino right?

Is OLB against universal background checks as well?

It's an opinion. Just like everyone else is expressing.

If you read the OP - I was in favor of these laws - until I got to talking to a 20+ year deputy (young guy - but damned smart) who changed my mind.

It comes down to - the problem children are not going to willingly give up their firearms. A guy who is  planning to go shoot up a mall/school/funeral/ tupperware party isn't going to have a problem lying to the cops.

If Martin Luther King Jr were alive today, I doubt he'd be a fan of our current firearm laws. 

If JFK were alive today, I also think he would not be for our current firearm laws.

But what would they know? They only had their brains blown out. 

Even Reagan who did survive and Brady had the sense to value some action after the fact.

No. But it would be far more effective to simply make problem children have a "no guns" stamp on their I.D. - and require an I.D check at time of sale.

It would save time and money as well.

Where is the fear?
You don' t hear gun owners whining that "there's not enough guns!"
It's the opposite.
Fear addled anti gun fruitcakes - whining at 140 db.

OLB, unless your next post is, "I was wrong, I am willing to get on board, and listen instead of screaming like a baby, all you are telling everyone here is you care more about a mere object, than public safety."

When his house was bombed in 1956 (pretty sure it was 56) MLK applied for a permit to carry concealed.

I think he would have been delighted to be living today in a "shall issue" climate.

But you just keep going with your revisionist history.

Ok..

You were wrong.

Let's see you repost it - all in caps.


That always convinces people you're sincere.

God you are one dense DIPSHIT!

Arming more is not a solution DUMBASS!

MLK did what a pussy ass like you could not do. He used his voice without firearms and got murdered for telling the truth by an asshole with a firearm.

Maybe I can simplify this for you OLB?

Do you think I should be allowed to own a firearm? If your answer is "NO" congratulations DUMBASS, even you are for gun safety laws.
