Gun Confiscation

[Jax]

One of things that is most likely to make it to law is the background checks.
This will make it necessary to have a BC if you give your son or daughter a gun, any change of ownership. I got a problem with that.

in the last 10 mass shooting since 2007,(since NObama has been in office) the "assault weapon" has been used four times. ALL by mentally deficient individuals.

of the 3.5 million modern sporting rifles in public your chances of being in a mass shooting are miniscule compared to being killed by your doctor, or drunk driver.

ALL mass shooting are done by deranged individuals, mostly using hand guns. Yet not one of you gun banners even mention banning hand guns. All you seem to think about is the four modern sporting rifles used by a mental case.

AR 15 and like is shorthand for these weapons and accessories. I believe all weapons and their availabilty used in mass-shooting should be considered.

Your desire to ban the modern sporting rifle is skewed only because a deranged scumbag shot 21 children.

If Lanza had shot up a mall, would you still be willing to ban modern sporting rifles. From previous history, I think not.

I've often seen far more than 21 children in a mall.

I will grant you that killing children is more horrifying but any mass-shooting is sad.



BTW, I notice you are now calling these weapons modern sporting rifles. Is that an edict from the NRA?

So you let some commie loving socialist judge appointed by either a left wing Democrat or a RINO Republican and approved by a majority of commie loving left wing Democratic Senators read and interpret the Constitution for you since you can't read it or understand the plain language in it yourself. Figures.

I doubt Justice Scalia would be described by any sane person over the age of 3 as a "commie loving socialist."


FYI- Scalia was appointed by Reagan.

The rest of us can read and don't need some Marxist to read and interpret the US Constitution for us. Thank you, thank you very much.

Why hell boy, just this post of yours alone gives strong evidence that you not only have trouble reading but you are equally inept at history and constitutional law not to mention a narrowly focused intellectual menu.

Sorry I'm a newbie, please forgive me.

well we all can't be seasoned veterans but do try to learn something about a person before you label them.

Do you really believe that "ban" equals no "mass-shootings"?

If you do, why is it that Connecticut had a ban in place before SH took place and Lanza was still able to carry out what he did?

I have neither said nor do I believe a ban equals no "mass shootings"

I believe that what you and other "anti-gunners" really want is a complete, across the board gun ban, aka "slippery slope"

I can't speak for others, but I am a gun owner myself and I believe a complete ban on firearms would be a violation of the 2nd A.

Help me understand, I'm a little new to this subject.

A comprehensive approach is needed which does include a restriction on certain weapons and accessories as well as other actions. No, this solution would not prevent all mass-shootings but has the potential to lessen the death toll and deter likely mass-shooters.

I stopped following this thread pages ago, but decided to chime in. Anyone ever hear of the Dick Act? HR11654 I am unable to find info on any gubmint site but everywhere else states it is unlawful to inact any type of gun control. http://www.meetup.com/usconstitution...thread=7361877

For the socially engineered morons here.

[geerair]

The "If it save just one life" simply shows they have no consideration for the law abiding gun owner, and willing to sign it away so casually.

As a law abiding gun owner, I believe it is a perfectly reasonable and valid point and gives due consideration to the gun owner. We must also keep in mind that mass-shootings involve more than one child, often many more.

One model proposes transfer through a licensed gun dealer for a nominal fee.

Just another internet urban legend.

"No law or set of laws can keep our children completely safe. But if there's even one thing we can do, if there's just one life we can save, we've got an obligation to try," Obama said.

Horrifying. An agenda that proposes an attempt to restrict the weapons used in mass-shootings in hopes of saving lives.

Meanwhile the NRA/Gun Nut solution is more guns and hi cap mags for everybody.

Horrifyingly stupid. You cannot go around passing inept and poorly conceived laws on 300,000,000 people willy-nilly over the loss of 30.

How else are we really going to prevent the death of several school children? To do that you would have to remove every gun in America, shut down all gun manufacturing in the US, close all borders and ensure that our police and military weapons never fell into the hands of criminals. Do you really feel that way? If you were given your choice and you alone had the sole responsibility for any other children's lives in the future, could you live with that?

Help me understand, I'm a little new to this subject.

The anti-gun crowd know damm good and well that the assault weapon ban is stupid cosmetic foolishness on definition of "ASSAULT WEAPON". They also know that long guns are not the primary tool of crime, it is actually handguns. They have all been told, if they did not know already.

So if they pass a ASSAULT WEAPON ban, they are going to come back the next mass shooting and say "I agree with you guys, there is only cosmetic differences so now we need to ban all semi-auto weapons". And, "I agree with you guys, handguns are more of a problem anyway, so we need to ban handguns". That is how they work. That is EXACTLY how it will incrementally happen if we let them get a hand in our hypothetical bra. Just say no. No to socialist state moron drones wanting to take away our personal freedom and independence.

All the dick act did was create the national guard and then it took all the other guys who were previously in the well regulated militia.... which is now the nat guard..... and put these civilians into what is known as the unorganized militia....or the draft pool...

Aint no more well regulated citizen militia. You got the nat guard and you got the state militias... which you can join...but they are pretty much just for ceremonial duty.

I'm still waiting for the rest of the "approach"

We can disagree on the banning of a certain class of weapons all day long.

The looney gun grabbers keep yapping about their "balanced" and "multi-faceted" approach.


WHERE IS IT?







The proposed AWB and other like legislation is nothing more than a 'good-natured' attempt by those in power to take more freedoms from law-abiding citizens while doing NOTHING meaningful to affect the very crimes that they wish to affect.

Biden even said so.

Until you come up with a plan that addresses the causative factors of mass-shootings and violence in general, you could ban ALL guns and have no affect on crime rates.
