Another mass shooting.....

[Brian37]

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.

You want them sure, but don't hand me any crap that you need them. 

Yep, just like when Billionaire Nick Hanoure says workers don't make enough on the issue of economics, on the issue of firearms, you wont even listen to the  inventor of a war weapon when his family says it was never intended for civilian use.

I could give one shit less what you want. We have had WAY too much firearm deaths in this country.

Your rights are NOT the issue. Your lack of pragmatism is. Your obsession is. Those are objects, objects are not living human beings. The 59 murdered in Vegas and the 29 murdered in the Texas church ARE HUMANS with rights. I find it sad you care more about protecting objects than the deaths caused by the use of those objects. 

Yes, spray weapons and big clips SHOULD BE BANNED. But equally important, the makers of those products should be SUED for their vile marketing practices just like tobacco was forced to stop using cartoons to market to kids.
