115. I think we start with automatic weapons and high capacity magazines...also no

Nov 2017

Teflon coated bullets or silencers...and a permit process for concealed and open carry...also insurance...we change the laws so people who are injured by accidental shootings, and who are injured when someone's kids grabs a gun and shoots up a school or the gun is stolen and used to kill folks...Careless gun owners need to be held accountable. We need gun registration for every new gun...so it is clear where the gun came from...some sort of retroactive registration for those guns already out there...and anyone who has an unregistered gun faces criminal prosecution. Gun dealers should account for every gun they sell...which right now they don't...no doubt some are arming gangs and criminals or people who can't pass the limited checks in place...online needs to screen buyers too and register every gun they sell. Also, gun shows need to have a process of gun registration...so the new owner is now shown as the register owner of said gun.

Many here say confiscation is reasonable hack89 Nov 2017 #54

Do you think confiscation of the guns of some people or organizations is never ever reasonable? Ukapau Nov 2017 #69

How about disarming military-grade weapons from civilians? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #80

No. I like my rifles hack89 Nov 2017 #81

Your fondness for them doesn't ultimately mean anything Orrex Nov 2017 #86

Sure. A law could be passed and I could loose them hack89 Nov 2017 #93

Competitive target shooting hack89 Nov 2017 #98

Competitive target shooting, as in you shoot at each other? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #102

Glad to see you have maintained your sense of humor. Nt hack89 Nov 2017 #118

So the competition is who can mow down the most people/targets? n/t forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #144

No. hack89 Nov 2017 #150

So when do you need those types of guns off the firing range? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #153

Off the range they are locked up in a safe. Nt hack89 Nov 2017 #158

So you may as well not even own them. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #162

No need. hack89 Nov 2017 #164

Could you possibly compete with guns forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #105

Not and feel macho at the same time... HopeAgain Nov 2017 #116

I do envision that every "competetive target practice" participant forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #148

Civilians dont own military grade weapons ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #83

So, question, Gun People... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #92

Not sure if need is the issue. But if you like M1s, their capacity is eight. jmg257 Nov 2017 #129

Again, I ask... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #152

Not sure - maybe you need more then 1 round per enemy? Figure a double-tap per, at least.. jmg257 Nov 2017 #154

So...the phrase "double tap" comes from a zombie movie. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #167

No, it doesn't. And Mozambique drill is three rounds per, so just call it 18... jmg257 Nov 2017 #168

So, you personally need the ability to kill 20 people without reloading. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #169

Personally? No. jmg257 Nov 2017 #172

And specifically, ClarendonDem... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #95

:) C Moon Nov 2017 #109

You've got eight friends you want to kill? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #110

Me? No. I was smiling because I liked the way you handled that situation. C Moon Nov 2017 #117

Because 6 is too few in my mind for self-defense purposes ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #138

So you're planning for a mob home invasion forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #145

You obviously dont keep up with the news ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #170

So I only get guns if I use them? ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #175

Did any of them defend their home with an AR-15? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #177
