New Gun Regulations In The US Would Be Really, Really Stupid

I suggest the test commence immediately.

Alright but I'm not paying for gas

Here's everything wrong with the left side of the equation in a nutshell.

'Keep your pistols, keep your long rifles, keep your shotguns'

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/14/politics/...index.html
The trouble, ofc....is that pistols are the problem, it's not even close.... and both rifles and shotguns kill more people than the semi auto sporters he goes on to call "military style" and "weapons of war". Those three are literally no's 1, 2, and 3, in the order he listed them off.

The high profile nature of the black rifle and mass shootings makes it great politics, even though it's complete trash for policy. It won't cause a blip on gun deaths, and it won't reduce mass shootings, either. Even if they managed to get them all....people will use semi autos that evade the ban, and duct tape. Or, you know...pistols...the most commonly used firearm in mass shootings.

Lizard Lips makes supposedly empty threats to shoot other forum members.  Not the gun culture's best spokeslizard.

Aren't you supposed to be posting in the k-12 forums?

Nothing like turning a tragedy with no good solution into a political agenda...


What you want to do? Put mom in prison and the kids in an orphanage? That' ll teach the little monster...

Criminalize stupid? That' s gonna fill a few prisons.....


Exactly what kind of legislation do you think you can dream up that prevents this sort of thing?

OHMIGOD this post is hilarious!

Funny how your attempt at refuting my point actually supports it and wow their are some serious bullshit in this article .Propaganda through and through .

1.  A 30 day waiting period to purchase any type of firearm.

What is the significance of 30 days? How would this differ from the 4-5 day waiting period some have to wait already? Why not 90 days? or 180? Or 10? Where are you getting the number 30 from? Who would enforce this? Or would businesses be forced to delay sales for 30 days?

2.  Better background checks, including interviews with family, neighbours, and co-workers (if applicable).

So, my cousin who's been jealous of me my entire life might be able to stop me from getting a gun? Or my coworker who resents me because I've been in the company half the time they have but make double the pay? Who would conduct these interviews and where would this funding come from? Can one person who says "He/she is unstable" stop someone from getting a gun?

3.  Licensing of all gun holders.

What agency would manage these licenses? Who would enforce this? What would licensing gun holders accomplish?

4.  Initial safety training with recertification every two years.

Once again, who enforces this? Who pays for it?

5.  Annual fees to keep license active.

Who does this money go to?

6.  Suspension of license for varying length of time, depending on infraction.

Which infractions? Could getting a parking ticket disqualify someone from having a gun?

7.  Eliminate the gun show/private sales loophole.

Gun show vendors still run background checks on you. The point is that people can meet other people at gun shows and buy guns "privately" from other individuals, not vendors. Even then, you're suggesting I cannot sell a gun to my brother or father?

My main point is, you guys say all of this stuff but I'm not very convinced you've thought much of it through.

Gun regulations will always only affect those who aren' t the problem in the first place - those folks that obey the laws.


It' s akin to ticketing all Chevrolet owners  because some asshole in a Corvette got pulled over for speeding.

[The Grand Nudger]

Every chevy owner has to take a test and pay for insurance and register if he wants to drive his chevy. If his kid plows his chevy through the neighbors front wall..he's liable.

I think that you'd find gun control advocates are very, very amenable to treating guns like cars. Mandatory safety features and all.

Just had the neighbors kids shoot my double doors out with their bb guns today, obviously going to grow up to be responsible gun owners. My favorite, though, was that the mother threatened to call the cops on me for taking the bb gun away from her delinquent son and bringing it to her. Because, get this "he's 13 and you're a grown man".

Yeah, mull that over lady, your 13 year old was shooting at the glass in a house full of kids with one full grown and fully armed man in it.
