Supreme Court To Take Up Right to Carry Firearm Outside Home

[onlinebiker]

You really are a dense motherfucker.


"When did you get this weapon?"


"Before the ban went into effect asshole. Prove otherwise. I am not required to keep proof of purchase on my weapons."


So much for that brilliant idea...


Unless you want to make the new standard "guilty until proved otherwise"

[The Grand Nudger]

The world doesn't seem to collapse in the face of grandfather clauses, they're a routine component of just about any change in us gun law.

Rifles are stamped by their manufacturer...you dense motherfucker. There's little chance that you'll ever have occasion to be asked, but questions of the legal provenance of a firearm are really easy to resolve.

Bullshit.

You can' t grandfather what can' t be accounted for.

All you would do is make a whole bunch of gun collectors into very prosperous criminals.

[The Grand Nudger]

US gun law says we can grandfather a firearm, we've done it before and we'll do it again. Is this an actual problem, or a problem for the tantrum you intended to throw? A grandfather clause specifically exempts those collectors as criminals.

That's the whole fucking point of it. Try again.

[onlinebiker]

Jesus - you really ARE that stupid.


If you can' t see the problem it' s not my fault.

You just refuse to see the unworkability of your lame idea.


Get your teacher to explain it to you after recess.

I have better things to do.

[The Grand Nudger]

I didn't write the brady bill. In fact I've never once in my life written a gun law, let alone added a grandfather clause. It's not my idea, but it is how gun bans work in mere reality, in the US.

I can see why it's a good idea, you must be able to see it too - since you were concerned about collectors being made into prosperous criminals. They can't be..though they can attempt to sell a restricted or banned firearm. Then they haven't been made criminals so much as they are criminals. That, in effect, is where grey and black market firearms already come from, anyway. It's something I can see them doing.

You worried about the future market viability of your cannon? Do you find yourself making a lot of unchecked, unaccounted for, unregistered sales?

[Foxaèr]

Gun law in this country is a contradiction in terms. What we have is gun chaos.

[The Grand Nudger]

More the appearance of chaos. We're strangely responsible with firearms and have hundreds of laws to that effect*. Nuts hate those laws, but don't ask them what they are cuz they don't know...it's just that all law somehow appears to be tyranny to them. The case the supremes are about to hear is only about concealed carry as a pretext. They'll use the decision to gut all kinds of laws all over the country. That's why they brought it. Not for any specific injury, it's intended as a weapon with wider applications.

*this only counts state and fed, not county or municipal regulations and restrictions. There are thousands upon thousands of those, and no one notices. Just as there are many, many guns per american man woman and child. No one else even comes close outside of a warzone, and we stubbornly refuse to become one.
