Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control. [View all]MO_Moderate
(377 posts)2 - To be clear, I am not against encouraging safe storage of weapons, nor was I criticizing the opinion of the poster. We are talking about individuals homes, not public places, and there just is no way a safe storage law can be enforced, and we already have laws that can be used to hold people responsible for negligent deaths. IMO, threats will not work like you all hope.
3 - Look at the new CT law that requires registration of scary looking weapons as an example. A small number registered, the majority did not. With door to door searches or 'citizen' tattle-tales, there is no way of knowing who belongs to which group. Besides, seeing how criminals don't care about background checks now, why they would care about 'training?'
6 - Hundreds of millions of guns and gun owners. Registration and non-registration has already led to confiscation. Anybody with a brain is going to claim they don't have a gun or that all of their guns are lost in Uncle John's closet.
If CT can't get people to submit to registration, how do you figure the whole nation will.
Like I said, I'm not against everything on the list, I'm just pointing out that most of it is impractical and will be ineffective.
