Gun Control Frenzy

[AJMD429]

I would not be ok with ANY 'increased' gun control, because the whole concept is illegitimate, illegal, illogical, and immoral.

However, given that my opinion won't stop the anti-gun stampede.....

Perhaps a TOTAL elimination of 'gun-free' zones, and reciprocity of CCW nationally, would be a gun law I could endorse, and 'trade' for an 'enhanced' background check, IF that check were done in a manner with NO record of what gun was actually sold to be accessible without a warrant, and NEVER given to any central authority, and ALSO if non-FFL sellers are allowed access to the background check system, so all those sales could get 'background checks', but would NOT get into any central registry.

It is TIME that gun owners put the anti-gun fools on the defensive, and let them know THEY are the reason for these dead children - THEY are the ones who won't allow CCW in schools, and that is the ONLY way to stop 'mass-shooters'.

I agree with an improved background check in so far as there should be better ways to integrate the reporting of disqualifying offences to the FBI, which will then support the existing 4473. Had better integration existed then some recent mass shootings would have been averted - such as when the Airforce failed to notify the FBI of a disqualifying offense in the Texas church shooting. There should also be a way to better integrate mental health record into NCIS while being compliant with HIPPA.

But in return I would also like to see national reciprocity, the NFA repealed, the Hughes Amendment repealed, better support for mental health services, and the option for more teachers to carry on school grounds if they choose to do so (including tax breaks for firearms, ammo, and training for those prepared to defend their pupils).

Very true. Things are about to get interesting though.

Florida shooting sparks reactions from Republican senators on gun control | Fox News

Well they Obviously didn't get marching orders from Trey.

Just heard a Republican state lawmaker on the radio, and one of his ideas was waiting periods. The a-hole bought rifles over the course of a year... How long would a waiting period have to be to affect that?

Also raising age to buy rifle to 21.

The waiting period would be forever for eveyone if some had their way.

They don't have any ideas., BBI. They are merely clutching at straws to prevent acknowledging that the politicians are causing the mass murders.

It started after Stockton. "Ban guns at and around schools!" was the call in 1990. As if men like Patrick Purdy would obey that and stay home and knit.

The politicians created the governmentally mandated slaughter pens and are personally responsible for each death.

Mock them without mercy and let them go rot.

Hows come we don't have a waiting period anymore?

 

[HubertGummer]

Now the question is how long before prices go up again?

Oh...We have one of those?

It's Federal but usually runs through the State Police computers to the FBI. I guess it is "instant" when it actually works. I have worked at a lot of gun shows in Illinois and amazingly the State Police computers would frequently go down - sometimes for the entire weekend of the show. No sales without the NICS approval. And then amazingly it would just start up again on Monday morning. Imagine that...... An entire building full of dealers with customers lined up to buy and no one could do a NICS check. We lost quite a few sales playing that game. And given the recent events I really don't think I want the FBI to have ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with gun sales. They have become a waste of tax dollars and should closed down permanently.

That's your problem right there.

It's an election year sums it up. Dems need a platform to run on...now they have it. They will use this and immigration to pull back in to power. They will stonewall any legislation that takes away from those two issues force in November. Politics as usual.

Well if theyre still at this talk next week, we're going to be seeing another round of panicking buying

If only gun control was allowing teachers to have guns to control in the classroom. My brother was a teacher in Connecticut (the constitution state) during the Sandy Hook massacre. He used to live not far from that school and had to pass it on his way to the school he taught at. He told me that one of the scariest things that has happened to him was getting a text message from the school system warning of a red alert, active shooter, not a drill. Lock all doors and hide the children.

He called me to tell me he would have felt a lot better if he had a firearm to protect the children, but everyone knows gun free zones are safe areas. I understood his fear, desire and sarcasm. He retired the next year, glad to get away.

It may be painful in the short term, but turncoats like Gowdy need to be replaced.
