Can we have a rational discussion about guns and why the typical arguments for gun control and its implementation won't work?

LOL, that reminded me of a dear friend that had a mega shotgun collection and a walk in gun vault. He had a seven figure home that was worth 'less' than his shotgun collection !

Pretty simple really. When gun owners say don't want more firepower,.they want more. It's like going to candyland, but where guns are sold. It's impulsive, or OCD. I dunno. Doesn't matter. The only one that matters: feds > gun owners.

I honestly don’t know a single gun owner that doesn’t want more firepower. Sadly I’ve already arrived at the legal limit of 1/2” bore, to go any further I’ll need to get a rectal exam and pay $200 in taxes. Did you know someone recently invented a reusable base like a shotgun shell for 40mm grenade launcher. Nobody wanted to go through the hassle of a single shot but now that the serialized part is reusable its game on. You can even 3D print projectiles and it’s legal to fill them with up to 1/2lb of binary explosive. The only caveat is it’s illegal to transport or store the explosive shell so you must mix the binary and use it at the same location.

and yes I’m completely trolling but it’s fun. The info is accurate and legal

Same here. The guy I knew had a very pristine collection of all Winchesters pre-64 model 70's and each Winchester Model 12 shotguns . And 4 beautiful Model 21's. He has a very rare Tournament Skeet model.

Jeez I wonder why that is?!?! It might have to do with gov is trying to make it more difficult for people cause they cannot control themselves.

Your statement is amazing and right on time as the idea that the government needs to control people is being eviscerated in real time. Wokeism has been a tyranny against freedom. These people believe that most people are too stupid to think for themselves so government needs to control what they think, what they can own etc. it’s really sick

I dunno what you're talking about. Very clear sentences by gun owners above who think, but also think quite a few of their peers believe the goal is to have more firepower.

It's not up to them to decide what is available. This doesn't mean I approve of nanny government, it's a matter of not going overboard in their zeal. It's a classis case of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

"...cause they cannot control themselves."- this has been my point all along but legislating guns out of marketing existance and ending availability of new guns will only make people want them more. People definitely can't control themselves, but there's damned little being done about changing that.
