normiss 644 #276 February 6, 2013 You know I agree Bill...just different approaches following the same lines. I don't want to argue with you. I just can't and won't understand a knee=jerk reaction that takes us back to stoopid technical regulations on numbers of this, length of that....it only applies to legal gun owners, new production weapons and accessories, and previously manufactured weapons and accessories will not and can not be removed from being legal. Criminals and loonies do not, will not, can not, care not, worry not about laws in any fashion. Get with Kallend on a secret detection of any mental flaws issues that could possibly result in injury to oneself or others in any magnitude. WTF could that possibly change? Nothing.

SkyDekker 1,155 #277 February 6, 2013 QuoteThe risks are worth it when you are talking about MY kids but are not worth it at all when talking about YOURS. My kid is better than your kid. Got it. Not at all. If you can afford private school for your kids, go for it. Nobody is stopping you. If you can't afford private school, maybe stop being so lazy and work harder. This is America, anybody can be successful if they just work hard enough. Why do you want the government to pay for something, just because rich people can afford it? You are either extremely jealous, or a communist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OHCHUTE 0 #278 February 6, 2013 Quote. Nobody is proposing to take away your daddy's gun. M14 AR. They want to ban similar guns. And saying that is not being proposed is bullshit. What tin foil hat are you wearing. The ar and high cap mags are what people are talking about. Here you talk banning my gun then you say thats not what you propose. You can't reason with the anti gun. They're nuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And since you thought my dad died in Viet Nam and they way you disrespected who you thought was my dad and our fathers with your demeaning daddy reference places you at the bottom of the slag pile.

What will help: Background checks for all gun sales. Laws against lying on background checks. Laws against selling to known felons. A system that allows crazy people who have been detained by police (or hospitals) to have their guns confiscated temporarily until their competence is determined.

He's proposing hiring millions of people to supervise sales of private guns and busting people for selling a gun to a felon. The only way to find out if he's a felon is to complete the background check otherwise you'd might end up a felon yourself if you sell to a felon. And of course since we have a criminal justice industry, the more felons the better for LEO job security. More laws, rules=more perps just what they want.

Background checks for everyone, not just some. It not a loop hole. Some states don't require background checks on private sales. Who is going to do all these background checks when there are millions of private sales annually. They can't even do over the counter new gun sales now. In some states you're a month out from geting the gun you bought just waiting on ATF to do the background check. And consumers are pissed about that. You get gas right away, pills, gun powder, chain saws, knives, automobiles, bobcats, hatchet, and rope... with no background check or having to wait to receive your merchandise. OH forgot wood chipper and rat poison. That if a killer wants to kill he might not need a gun. I'm all far sheltering a violent person from weapons but how can you enforce that or police that as we've seen the bad guys give us little clues that they are going to go balistic. Locks on doors is our best hope and telling kids NFL football is not the way to a good future. Science and math are. Much better than making millions of law abiding citizens having to pay more and wait longer for the items they want to buy and can legally buy, at the moment.

I meant fathers as our fathers and I'm not talking about God. You didn't read it Daddy, that is if you are truly a daddy and have kids, You disrespected all dads including your own by your inference. Your dad fought in war. You said he used an M1. That means he defended our rights. And you sit there claiming people shouldn't be allowed to KEEP a firearm that might have intrinsic meaning beyond KEEPING a firearm for only defense. KEEP an arm is the rule.

That's the loophole. >I'm all far sheltering a violent person from weapons but how can you enforce that Do a background check. >And consumers are pissed about that. ========================== Universal background checks, favored heavily in polls, emerging as likeliest gun control reform By Dan Friedman / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Monday, February 4, 2013, 9:45 PM Updated: Monday, February 4, 2013, 11:33 PM WASHINGTON — Given a push from President Obama on Monday, a proposal to make background checks on firearms sales universal is emerging as the gun control reform most likely to be approved on Capitol Hill. A measure that would end the loophole allowing unlicensed private dealers to sell guns without running a background check on buyers will be the centerpiece of a larger gun measure Democrats plan to take up as soon as this month, Senate aides said. The background check provision is gathering support on Capitol Hill, even from some conservatives, in part because it is widely popular — a point Obama made in Minneapolis on Monday while stumping for legislative action to reduce gun violence. “The vast majority of Americans, including a majority of gun owners, support requiring criminal background checks for anyone trying to buy a gun,” Obama said. Other gun control proposals poll well, but universal background checks has long been “incredibly popular,” winning support from 80-90% of respondents in a host of recent national polls, noted Margie Omero, a pollster who studies the issue. ============================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969912 0 #300 February 6, 2013 So why not confiscate guns from known prohibited persons RIGHT NOW? There are thousands in CA alone. I realize it's pointless to try to discuss this with you; you'll come up with some bullshit evasion just like BV and kallend. Good night.
