I'm a progresssive and I can tell you that the number of us who actually believe the 2nd amendment should be repealed is minuscule.

Common wish list:
Enact gun registration

Enact strict background checks

Enact law to allow for LE to temporarily suspend gun ownership, pending hearings, if they come across someone who appears psychologically disturbed (like FL kid)

Eliminate gun show loophole which, currently, allows for gun running from gun shows straight into places like Chicago and DC.

Restrict private, unlicensed sales of guns.

Outlaw semi-automatic weapons which can be accessorized to become weapons of war.

Outlaw bumper stocks, high capacity magazines/clips


I know the argument is that even with all of this in place, bad people will still get guns. And for some people that may be true but, by and large, most people who are looking to commit mass murder do not have the means and stealth to bypass all of these proposals to obtain a weapon. Meanwhile, good, solid gun buyers, like many on this board, will have no issue obtaining weapons for self-defense or hunting.

I think you are wrong. I have enjoyed weed for years. Do you have any idea how easy it is for me to get weed in any place in this country?

And, if I wanted H or coke or meth.......do you know how easy it would be?


And, I promise....I don't fit in "that world" and have a professional appearance, etc.


Dude, they get drugs and cell phones into PRISONS! The entire concept is a balm or salve put on the pearl clutcher's "feels" so they can BELIEVE they are safer and that they "did something"

Infringement on the 2nd.

We have this.

The loophole doesn't exist.

quote:

Restrict private, unlicensed sales of guns.



And you do this how?

Outlaw semi-automatic weapons which can be accessorized to become weapons of war.


What is a weapon of war, and what qualifies it for that name?

quote:

Outlaw bumper stocks, high capacity magazines/clips


It's "bump" stock, not bumper. And I can do the same thing with some rubberbands.

Yup. They'll just go the Tsarnaev or McVeigh route. Or use a car.

Your list is the same laundry list of useless ideas that come from a group of people who are completely ignorant of firearms, how they operate, and what laws are already in place.

What are "strict" background checks?

quote:

Enact law to allow for LE to temporarily suspend gun ownership, pending hearings, if they come across someone who appears psychologically disturbed (like FL kid)


So guilty until proven innocent?

Just by the mere fact that you mentioned the "gun show loop hole" tells me you don't what you are talking about.

quote:

Not possible without a registration, See first reply

Outlaw semi-automatic weapons which can be accessorized to become weapons of war.


WTF?

More evidence you don't know what you are talking about. Bump Stocks are dumb and this would for sure be a slippery slope.

myth. steven crowder already debunked this. gun show/no gun show, it is illegal to sell a firearm without a background check at established businesses and venues.

mainly, because i trade with friends and relatives. personally, i'd never sell to a stranger unless it's through gunbroker and a background check/ffl will be involved.

so my glock 19 and 1911 pistols are considered weapons of war?

i don't get the infatuation with banning these? why not make them NFA items?
