My advice about guns [View all]
I figured since there are a million and one threads about this already, one more couldn't hurt. We have spent so much time and effort trying to work out a deal that makes everyone happy and that's legal, it seems the biggest issue is ignored.
What about the next generation of firearms? What about rail guns, pneumatic weapons, energy weapons, etc?
Hell, I know of people that make RC Battleships that shoot fully-automatic canons. They use ball-bearings for ammo and they shred each other's boats up. Should stuff like this be addressed to?
We have come to a point in our existence where almost anyone with the will could make their own guns at home. Machining tools, 3D printers, reloading equipment, these are only a few of the tools available to someone if they really wanted a gun.
So, what is my advice about guns? If you really want to make a long term difference, maybe target the guns that don't exist yet and then work backwards. By doing this, people can finally see the finish line in gun control. It will no longer be a never-ending battle. Will this fix our current problems? Of course not. But since there's already thousands of others trying to address that issue, why not just one person look into my idea. What's the worst that could happen? We ban a gun that never gets invented?
