Specifically.

Bury the dead. Move on. Wait for the next mass shooting and hold a moment of silence.

wash. rinse. repeat.

There will never be gun control in this nation.

I need to kill some coyotes. Lots of coyotes.

There is no legitimate reason to have a bump stock.

Would this be a possible solution to deter a situation like Vegas. What would be people's opinion on registering their gun every year or two year like you do personal property? Not saying there would be a tax maybe it goes to conservation. Just a way of keeping track of what you own. How would it work?

Where do you live that you have to register personal property every year?

It's none of the government's fricking business to know what I own. People just bending over to give up their god given rights.

California every October. They send me what I owe on what so that's why I asked how it would work on guns.

The thing is we have history to look at for this. Throughout history confiscation follows confiscation.

So my opinion on registering guns is it ain't happening.

It will never happen. You will never get a large portion of gun owners to go for it. Even if you searched my house and found 20 extra guns, you can't prove that I didn't buy them after the last registration.

I don't know the impact on single murders but my thoughts were on mass murders. If Stephen paddock owned I don't know how many semi automatic weapons and had to register them yearly or whatever timetable. Would red flags be raised when he purchases ammonium nitrate to possibly make a bomb? It's just a thought.

Ammonium nitrate is already controlled and tracked.

Registering firearms is not the answer.

2nd amendment argument is nonsense because the people who wrote it were using muzzle loaders.



THe people who wrote the first amendment were using parchment and quill and could not possibly have conceived of a platform where liberals could spew their garbage to so many people so quickly. THere is no legitimate purpose for this, I heretofore propose a law making it illegal for liberals to use the internet.

That seems like a smart place to start

From a quick google search it seems like anything over 10 rounds is considered "high-capacity" by most legal jurisdictions. I'm good with that number.




Bro, these mass shootings are the OUTLIER in terms of gun related shootings in this country. Do you not get that. By FAR more people are shot and killed every year by HAND GUNS that do not have the high capacity magazines you are talking about . Are you only concerned about the outlier events?

He passes 32 FBI checks on his purchases already.

You're stupid son, almost every shooting in the US is committed with a hand gun , not an assault weapon, and I DO have the stats to prove it.

I certainly don't trust the FBI, I feel almost certain they missed something that should have alerted someone that this guy was preparing for this.

Myself, I think someone should be able to correlate data and see ahead of time that someone like this guy is stocking up on guns, ammo, bump stocks, etc etc AND sending money to the Phillipines and maybe talk to him and see wtf is going on. That's not normal behavior, especially when after the fact his family is like "I didn't even know he was into guns" I mean come on, if you have over say 10 guns, you aren't simply into self defense, you're into guns, you enjoy the guns themselves. I have hundreds of guns, maybe even a thousand I'm hot sure, lost track lol, but my family is well aware of my collection, if someone asked my brother he wouldn't be like "oh gee I didn't even realize my brother owned a gun, let alone that many, I'm as shocked as you are"

See, my guns are only a danger to someone who directly threatens me or mine, so no one has any business threatening to take them from me, but if suddenly I'm sending money to Syria and attending mosque every night, maybe the FBI ought stop around and ask me a few questions.

Nope. First, registration has been used as a means of expediting confiscation. Second, I don't register my personal property every year or two. Third, what good would that do? It doesn't stop anyone from pulling the trigger. Paddock was willing to die to pull this off. Do you think "omg, my guns are registered, so they will know where to find me" a deterrent? I'm guessing it wouldn't be.

Registration... like most prescriptive crime-prevention laws only inconvenience the law-abiding. What's the point of doing that?
