Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Ohio shooting of girl in Amish buggy a homicide [View all]1. I can certainly make it a misdemeanor not to do so...
And who gets to enforce this, no knock warrantless searches? You get caught at the gun range while firing your pistol and you don't have your lock on it?
2. If you've got the money for a gun collection, you've got the money to pay for gun education and enforcement...your guns can be stolen and quickly become a problem. I also think an exception for people such as yourself would not be unreasonable. Please tell me why someone needs a half-dozen semi-automatic handguns.
I have paid for gun education when I got my concealed carry permit. My guns are ALL in safes unless on my person. Why does someone "need" a half dozen semi automatic handguns? I didn't know there was a department of needs in the government.
3. You can already be denied for exactly this reason. This would just close the loophole.
Don't know what this one was about
4. You are basically conceding this point. What does printer ink have to do with bullets?
Constitutional rights, you gonna apply your way of thinking to everything on the BORs?
5. The gun lobby exploited the loopholes to the full extent. Ask the police officers at the North Hollywood Shootout what it was like to face those - or in fact, any officer how he feels when he's told he's going to serve a warrant on someone who may have an assault weapon.
North Hollywood Shootout had NOTHING to do with the AWB. Those were full auto weapons not covered by the AWB. An "assault weapon" is no different functionally than any other weapon. They all work the same.
6. I'm talking about banning private sales and capping the number of licensed dealers to make law enforcements job less ridiculous in this regard.
So what other private item to you think we should ban private sales on and how are you going to prevent these private sales from happening? The number of licensed dealers is capped by how many licenses the ATF is willing to give out.
7. Yes, and find new sources of funding to ensure it by increasing taxation on gun sales.
So you're gonna make it so only the wealthy can afford guns?
