  2. All firearms allowed except military-only weapons (automatic weapons, explosives, etc)

  3. Military-only weapons and large magazines (say, greater than 12) prohibited

  4. Automatic weapons and all semi-automatic rifles (eg, AR-15) prohibited (semi-auto handguns OK)

  5. All automatic and semi-automatic firearms prohibited

  6. Auto, semi-auto, and handguns prohibited (only manually rechambered rifles/shotguns allowed)

  7. All firearms outlawed except for military, police, and authorized armed security only

  8. Firearms for military only

    I can see and understand the conundrum - but I can not honestly think of a better alternative. Maybe there is some way to create a firewall between the government branches that might want this data and the ones that access it - and at the end of the day, the guns are still in the hands of the people not the government - so in theory - they can revolt against the government with the actual guns in their hands?

    Wouldn't do much besides close the gun show loophole raise the age to like 21 across the board and have definitive requirements background check wise so you don't get turned down because you said something bigoted on Facebook in a blue state.

    The problem that I see is that registering isn't even the issue.

    Either guns are being legally purchased and then used in a shooting, in which case registering them wouldn't make a bit of difference.

    Or they're being stolen from a friend or family member, in which case a registration wouldn't matter.

    Do you know what might make a difference? It's a shitty thing, but we need to hold the owners responsible. If you have a kid, or a friend who lives with you, then your gun needs to be secured. Period. If it's not, and it's used in a crime, you face charges. That's not going to stop the people who can legally buy for themselves, but it should stop school shootings from happening. Or make it more difficult. If people are afraid of being held criminally responsible, and financially responsible, when a firearm is used in a crime, they will start to do a better job of locking them up.

    You're right it's not. And it wasn't until you injected racism into it.

    I wouldn't have any thing to say to you if you didn't:

    Newsflash:

    Not every "boy in the hood" who carries does so illegally.

    Also, I'm sure they're not all "boys" and I certainly don't know all of them....

    I am certain I wrote the exact same thing:

    "If the fire-arm is used in a crime - it is the responsibility of the owner and he can be liable for damages."

    I even gave some thoughts about what happens if the owner is responsible and reports the gun as stolen ...

    I believe we are in agreement.

    Why do conservatives arm up for an imaginary war with the government but it's all "blue lives matter" when they're out here killing black folk?

    You do know there are other governments that would find it difficult to round us all up in the unlikely event that they defeat our military don't you?

    You know, those Russian computer geeks every lefty is afraid of?

    An imaginary war with a government that spies on you and gathers data about you through everything. Right, nothing to look at here

    injected racism into it or the fact a lot of minorities in inner cities carry guns illegally and tend to kill each other at high rates? I mean is this not statistically right? do your research. As much as you wanna complain about the republicans with guns who "must be scared of something" when it comes to gun taking, gotta point out the other side too. Illegal guns bought and sold on the streets that result in a lot of black deaths. That's a whole different mental illness that involves gang culture.

    Lastly something to note. If you continue the rest of your life claiming everything is racist, nobody will want to have a serious discussion with you and the only people you will have to talk to are the like minded Portland progressive group that a majority of americans think are insane and rightfully so.
