Exclusive Poll: What would your preferred United States firearm policy be?

lol I am just saying tell this to your black brothers on the streets who carry guns everywhere they go illegally. Yeah I know you think everything is racist but it's really not.

 

Did my post differentiate skin tone? That's right SlyPokerDog it didn't.

 

damn where did this guy get all these guns? hmmmmmm

 

Why did you even bring up race?

You're the one concentrated on it here.

 

lol wow two personal insults back to back. remember the rules kiddo

 

because it's you and it's an own taste of your medicine. It's the annoying shit you do all the time. If you are gonna address something, address all sides

 

Yes, I have heard of this view. I does seem to make the amendment process rather meaningless though.
And rather like giving away the farm too. After all we do not have much of anyway to hold the people charged with interpreting responsible.
We easily could end up with something with only minority support, forget about super majority.

 

Then get an amendment going, see if you can get a change.

 

Here's a third. Why be an idiot and say some shit like "brothers in the hood"?

Then you don't see it as racist...

Typical with those Damascus folk I guess.

 

Conflating my complaints about racism with your actual racism...

Typical.

 

Who's living in fear?

I like guns. They're fun to shoot. I don't do it very often. I got to go trap shooting for work. It was a blast (no pun intended). An AR-15 is also very fun to shoot. I don't own one anymore, but they're cheap to shoot and fun to take to a range with some buddies. I also know how to hunt. I don't really enjoy hunting, but it's a skill that's valuable. Let's say that big earthquake hits. The one they've been talking about forever. Estimates are that we won't get aid for possibly weeks. Bridges will be down, freeways destroyed, etc etc etc. I have the skills and tools to acquire food if need be.

I have a concealed handgun license. I never carry though. I like to be able to have a loaded gun in my car if I need it. It's all about options.

It's no different than having insurance. No different than stockpiling food and water in case something happens. It's not about fear. Most likely we will never see a major disaster in our lifetime. But it doesn't hurt to be ready for it. And if that disaster hits, what will happen to you? Are you ready?

 

I thought it was funny. That's all. That's not racist.

 

Okay thanks buddy. Gonna go get some brand new tiki torches today with my buddies today actually!!!

 

What actual racism? what did I say that was racist?

 

Children can't. You have to be 18 to buy a rifle. You have to be 21 to buy a handgun. That's the law in every state.

 

The fact that you don't know is telling.

 

Racism is funny to some people.

 

I honestly do not think the issue is about type of fire-arms, but about registration, licensing and responsibility.

Something like the DMV / Car registration / Drivers license model would make sense to me.

Every fire-arm needs to be registered. One should pass a basic exam to own and use fire-arms, It is the responsibility of the owner for that fire-arm. If the fire-arm is used in a crime - it is the responsibility of the owner and he can be liable for damages. If the fire-arm is stolen / lost / whatever - it is the responsibility of the owner to report it - and assuming he is found at fault for the disappearance of the fire-arm from his care - he is not allowed to own another one for a period of time (to ensure he takes better care of it) and pays a fine.

Being caught with an un-registered fire-arm will be like driving an unregistered car - it's a violation.

Along with that, the capability of the fire-arm and the ability to own it / use it requires different levels of registration and licensing just as there are with driver licenses. I can not drive a Semi, but if I go get myself the right kind of license - I can.

It will clearly not solve anything, but it will assign better responsibility for fire-arms, promote some kind of basic understanding of how to use and care for the fire-arm - instead of allowing every idiot out there to just go buy fire-arms when it is not certain they know enough to take care of them and not pose a risk to innocent people.

 

What you say makes sense. It's the logical thing to do.

One thing that I think needs to be pointed out though. The whole point of the 2nd amendment is to protect the American people from our own government. That would seem to be more important now than ever before. The militarization of our law enforcement. The complete disregard for the will of the people with things like the Patriot Act and Net Neutrality. Our government is for sale. Our representatives vote for the highest bidder. This is the gripe of most liberals. They see that Trump broke the law and nothing seems to be coming of it. We protest. We write letters. What comes of it? Nothing.

So.... if the whole point of the 2nd amendment is to provide us with protection from our own government, wouldn't giving the government a list of every single gun in this country be detrimental to that? A list of who, what, and where they can find every gun?
