Ah yes, let's try to debate the people that effectively
banned government scientists from researching gun violence and it's impact on public health. Let's be honest; the left doesn't understand guns enough to make meaningful proposals, and the right is so entrenched in regressive gun policy that GOP politicians can't even support universal background checks that have 90+% approval throughout America. It's impossible to compromise when one party is incapable of changing their minds no matter what.
I'm a liberal gun owner and I couldn't be more excited for the potential increase in gun regulations in the coming decade. I hope it becomes vastly more difficult to buy a firearm soon. The longer the right resists
all new regulations, the more extreme the push back will be as they lose power. Good.
I have a big problem with this post above and the one below. Number one, I just don’t see how any liberal could be happy to own a gun just because it goes against too much of the liberal agenda and second, how are you liberals who own guns and understand the purpose of guns, they’re leaning and somewhat understand what the Second Amendment means and why we have it, can still be so much for all these gun regulations when you guys alone who owned guns and are liberal should be smarter than the other liberals that think guns are the problem and blah blah blah, that no gun law is going to do exactly what you want it to do.
Who gives a rats ass about background checks because when a known criminal knows he’s a criminal, do you really think he’s going to be stupid enough to try and buy a gun the legal way when he knows he won’t pass a background check? So many illegal guns are brought into this country and there’s even people making their own guns; they’re not gonna do a background check every time they sell or buy a gun off of somebody so all that background check does just limit the wrong people and so the truck what if some person 20 years ago who had a felony and did their time and paid their dues but still can’t legally buy a gun because that felony is still on their record Yeah tons of illegal guns are bought and sold on the street every day.
I am. Always have been. When people I know hear me say that they don't stop and think what "gun control laws" even mean to me.
I usually ask them "have you done anything that would prevent you from buying a gun if there were more strict restrictions in place?" "No." "Then why does it bother you?"
To answer your question, no, I haven’t done anything for a background check to limit me from purchasing a firearm but why does it still bother me, you ask?
It bothers me because all these criminals every day who buy and steal guns and sell them illegally they’re not doing no background check so why is it being pushed when so many criminals are not going to try to buy a gun legally in the first place? Why should I, and so many other people like me who are law abiding citizens have to go through so many hoops just to exercise our Second Amendment rights without any infringing background check or anything else like that?
All these gun laws are good for is restricting the people who follow laws. I do nothing until after the fact for your average criminal.
Now, the 30 round magazine thing came up and that’s one I don’t get. You don’t need 30 rounds available to do anything outside of something bad, or screwing around. No way hunting will need more than 5 at a time. Plus, it makes the gun more cumbersome. I don’t know anyone that uses them for hunting. They all say they want them “just in case”. Sure. Ok.
Lol, until that day actually does come up where you’ll need those 30 round magazines, you’re right, 30 round magazines aren’t necessarily needed but we have all sorts of stuff that we don’t need but we have anyways so you’re gonna have to come up with a much better argument against 30 round magazines than that.
Come on man, even the people who do hunt with an AR-15, do you really think they’re going to be out there with a 30 round magazine when they do make smaller capacity magazines for AR‘s? Come on.
But out of all the folks I know who all have 30 round magazines for their AR’s, I have never heard one of them say that oh, I’m gonna have to get a smaller magazine because this big ole 30 round banana clip makes my gun too heavy… ROFL.
I just want stricter background checks and for them to keep track of who’s buying what. They probably already know if they use the FBI background check, but maybe they don’t keep a national record. They should.
I also don’t think you should be able to go to a gun show and not have to have a background check to purchase. IIRC this is only from individuals in Texas, but that's going to vary from state to state. I know that legally anyone can sell anyone a gun, but that should have some regulation behind it. I know you have to have it registered to the new party, but I'm not sure how that's enforced currently.
Again, why? Criminals buy, sell and steal illegally all the time. If you limit gun shows, that’ll just be one less place they won’t go to buy a gun.
None of those things should hurt 99.9% of current gun owners. Most of those just follow the law and mind their business. It's always the few morons that ruin everything for everyone else.
You’re right, they don’t for most part for most people but it’s still the fact that it’s an infringement that doesn’t even do anything for the people contributing to this “gun” violence. And yes, you are right, there are morons who ruin poop for everyone but hey, there’s always gonna be morons no matter what and they will weed themselves out.
