M1 Carbine Imports Banned

[Straw Man]

83. Float like a bulldozer, sting like wet Kleenex.

I think other countries regulate this quite effectively. I would look to their examples as a model.

Examples please, with specific reference to how they regulate collectors.

This has to do with guns in general. I don't see how adding more guns at this point to society makes anything better. I object on basic principle.

Translation: "Guns make me feel uncomfortable, so anything that places limitations on their ownership pleases me." Sorry -- not compelling and certainly far too vague a basis on which to base public policy.

The issue is militarism. I've made my objections to gun hoarding well known. I've varied on the numbers, but I definitely favor a progressive taxation on firearms ownership to discourage hoarding and the keeping of unreasonable amounts of firearms.

In a word, horseshit. This has nothing to do with militarism, and your constant attempts to link the two just speak to the weakness of your argument. Are you suggesting that militias are plotting the overthrow of the state with curios and relics? Please try to stay on the topic.

Damn right I'll second guess the ATF. I think it's my obligation as a citizen to have an opinion about government, to not be shunted to Mitt Romeny's quiet rooms.

So what is your policy recommendation? Abolish the C&R FFL? Make the collectors liquidate their collections? Go ahead and try to sell this as a reasonable measure. It should be very entertaining.

Perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to defer to "government" whenever asked for specifics on policy. Develop some opinions of your own rather than second-guessing existing policies.

I missed your initial. I was putting up Toons

I think that about says it all.

"There should not be a limit on how many firearms a law-abiding individual can own." Straw Man is in favor of unlimited guns. I guess I was kinda correct when I said that some people here are in favor of unlimited gun rights.

No -- I'm against limiting the private property rights of individuals without demonstrable need. That's hardly "unlimited gun rights." I think you'll see that if you give it more than a second's consideration.
