Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control. [View all]clffrdjk
(905 posts)23. Thanks I guess, those were just a few things off the top of my head
Because you seem to be the most comprehensive list maker. First this guy is an FFL (C&R).
A historical artifacts guy I can respect that.
I 'come up' with rules
"Came up with" that was a hint, look at laws that have already been implemented and find some that you think might sweeten the pot. Judging by the latest round of legislation you need me far more than I currently want to help you.
Supported by the vast majority of gun owners, NRA members, and the public at large.
The last one that could be said to fit that would be the Brady law requiring background checks on all new purchases.
I can get behind the silencer thing. Hearing is a good thing. Getting a second shot at game is a good thing if you're so inept you can't do it right the first time.
Good I am glad you can see it from my perspective but nobody mentioned hunting and keep your insults to yourself.
NFA registry?
I meant the machine gun registry, no changes on the restrictions just allow new ones to be registered.
I see no point in importing/selling an unlimited variety of weaponry. I can see some reasonable changes such as the M1 Garland cache found in S Korea being re-imported because of their historic significance but other than instances like that I see no reason to mess with it. Same goes for sbrs and other restrictions. My opinion. YMMV, good on you.
See that's the problem with gun owners like you, you don't see the point or don't want it for yourself well then why should anybody else have it. When the real question is why shouldn't they be able to have it.
Now, any suggestion on how to reduce the 30,000 plus gun deaths in the US?
Seems to me the large majority of those are suicides. Mag restrictions and registration will not do a thing to reduce those. So we have some mental health issues that we need to address, and I don't have the expertise to suggest how.

Sadly if that is your stance you will NEVER get any of your wishes made into new laws n/t
