Another mass shooting.....

[RoadRunner79]

Ok...so apart from the rhetoric, and the bad straw men... what are you proposing....and what do you see that producing?
You sound too me, very much like a shady politician, who is talking about how much he is cutting taxes in this area, where he is raising them somewhere else.
I’m just looking for a straight answer.

I'm not Brain. I'm not as far from Brian as one can get on the issue of gun control, but I'm definitely on the other side of the spectrum.

Just to demonstrate how far I am from Brian these are the last six and half additions to my weapons hoard.









As a gun owner I'd be more than willing to discuss:

Registration of all firearms.
Universal background checks for all sales including private.
Improvements to reporting into the background check system.
Mandatory safety training for firearms owners.
Mandatory reporting of lost/stolen firearms.
Adding semiautomatic weapons with detachable magazines to a separate registry similar to the NFA registry but without the tax.

A compromise I'd like to see from the other side is the reclassification of suppressors from Title II to Title I firearms. I'm willing to give gun control advocates a lot of the things they have been asking for. Are they willing to give me something in return?

Things I will not support:

Bans.

Well.... I am Brian (though very far from that Brian).  I don't have any guns.  However I was raised around them, was taught to respect firearms, went through hunter's safety when I was in 6th grade. Shortly here roughly a million  firearms will be wandering into the woods, and I predict very few mass homicides (based on past experience).

I'm also not against compromise, I think that people do need to talk about it.   I can understand with some of the idiocy out there and such as we have seen there, that some are hesitant for universal registration.  However I also think there could be some protection in place for any type of mass ban as well.

I'd agree about the suppressors.
