I will not offer "thoughts and prayers" for the victims in Orlando

75. "Big gun control"

Which Rightwing media outlet fed you that meme, I wonder?

If they wanted to actually fix something they would lobby for making NICS actually possible to use for private sales voluntarily...frankly this could be done by executive order...

Independent private gun sales should be banned, and anyone attempting to buy or sell a firearm through private transaction should be jailed for ten years with no probation for each firearm attempted to be bought or sold. Private gun sales could be permitted if effected through a licensed agency able to perform background checks. This is fully consistent with the sacrosanct 2nd amendment.

Background checks and their results must be permanently maintained in a database freely accessible to the public. This is fully consistent with the sacrosanct 2nd amendment.

All guns must be registered, and any gun not registered must be impounded and the owner jailed for ten years with no probation for each unregistered firearm. This is fully consistent with the sacrosanct 2nd amendment.

Gun owners must be held responsible for their guns at all times, and they must be aware of each gun's location at all times. Theft must be reported within one business day; otherwise the gun owner is full accessory to any crimes committed with such guns. This is fully consistent with the sacrosanct 2nd amendment.

Gun advocates will invariably howl about their perceived right to privacy, which they imagine to trump all other considerations, but they can stuff that bullshit up their well-oiled barrels. My legal history is freely available to the public, despite my concerns about privacy; the history of my home's ownership is freely available to the public, despite my concerns about privacy. Gun registry should be equally freely available.

They also make some ridiculous noise about the likelihood that they'll be targeted for theft if people know that they have guns, but fuck that cowardly bullshit as well; secure storage is a basic component of responsible gun ownership, and if you can't step up to the demands of responsible gun ownership, then you sure as hell don't deserve to own one.

In short, I'm tired of the bullshit fired at us 24/7 from gun advocates who care about nothing so much as their precious, precious guns despite their claims to the contrary.


Gun advocates have demonstrated time and again--even after Sandy Hook, even this morningafter Orlando--that they advocate for guns above all else, and the safety of others is of no concern to them. Gun owners have said enough, and it's time for them to shut the fuck up and step aside to let others handle the problem that gun advocates have so eagerly enabled for decades.


Reply however the fuck you want because I know what you think on the matter and I have no interest in reading NRA propaganda on DU.
