If you hate the idea of Hillary or Trump as Prez


Feb 10, 2016, 3:37 PM

which primary do you vote in? Seems like a lose-lose situation when it's probable that both win-win.

the republican party just favors liberals (since Ronnie).

If we could get a fiscal conservative and social moderate as a republican nominee I'd be really happy. But the republican party likes ultra social conservatives that love to spend money.

Do you really believe there is much difference between the two parties? Outside of a few issues they are virtually the same - controlled by the same mega corporations and big money donors.

Trump won't win. As the election moves south, Trump will fall behind because of evangelicals. Also, as more candidates drop out, people will rally behind the remaining ones. Trump is benefitting from the fact that there's 100 republican candidates. It won't last.
That being said, I don't think Hillary would be a bad president. Ignore your personal feelings about her, who is more qualified than her? She's a great politician and deserves a good look at. Much better than Sanders, at least.
I'd be split between voting for her and Bush, but he's not getting the nomination.

Re: If you hate the idea of Hillary or Trump as Prez

But will they drop out soon enough to stop splitting the vote before Trump racks up enough votes to lock down the nomination? Plus Hillary has already started ads that are for gun control and entitlements with no fear of losing votes. With the "Executive Orders" by-passing legislative powers, our governmental system is dying out.

I completely agree that the executive orders are ridiculous. There is a way to go about things and bypassing congress isn't the way. This expanding power is scary, regardless of which party is in office.
Hillary wants VERY common sense gun laws that I think most gun owners agree with. I own about a dozen AR15s and love to shoot them. Just bought myself a new KSG, love that thing. But there should be stricter rules. I don't know if it will stop gun violence, but it's a start. And it won't keep any law abiding citizen from getting a gun.

Gun show loopholes? That's a very enforceable law. And do you think gun store owners will take the chance with federal charges and losing their business? That's what she's talking about. Have better background checks and have them at gun shows.

most recent national tragedy with gun purchased at gun show?

wonder if more guns used in crime were stolen from homes, businesses, cars or were purchased from a dealer / private party at a gun show

most sales at gun shows are dealers that already require fed. background check on purchases! its the law

private party sales is what they are talking about


...and the only other option is to travel to local ffl and let them charge you through the nose to make a transfer

their common sense is gibberish...Obama's last group of executive orders had only 2-3 new things in it...ripping grandpas guns away if he doesn't balance his own checkbook and wasted tax dollars on "smart gun research"

Feb 10, 2016, 4:49 PM

Boy, my pulse is taking a hit today. Haha. Let's just keep this civil guys. Gets boring when everyone agrees with one another.
I don't know where the guns were purchased, honestly. I realize most of them are gotten through illegal means. But what does it hurt if there's more comprehensive background check when buying a gun? What's it hurt when you have to wait 15 minutes to buy a gun? If you're in that much of a hurry to get a gun or are afraid of a background check, you probably shouldn't own a gun. It won't keep law abiding citizens from getting a gun, it'll just screen out the others. We all know gun shows are a joke. Anyone can walk out with a new gun.
And they're not looking to regulate private sales, that's impossible and its your right to sale your gun. She just wants a more detailed background check than what is currently being used.
*******Disclaimer*******
I am against much of the previously proposed gun control legislation. I am against AR bans and magazine limits. But there are some things we can improve on.

It generally takes more than 15 minutes and often it's put on a 3-5 day hold before you can pick it up - after you've already paid for it. The problem isn't the guns, it's the 1 in a million lunatic that snaps and goes crazy.

Re: Have you ever bought a gun?


Feb 10, 2016, 6:23 PM

I live in Georgia and have bought guns in about 15-20 min. Most of that wait time is trying to get someone to help you. You fill out the form and they type your answers into the computer. It's a computer database. Either you pass or fail. If it takes longer to complete than just a few minutes, it means that something was flagged or missing from your check, so it requires a person to follow up and complete the background check.

Additionally, as a Georgian, I can take my long guns with me anywhere I want without a permit. Church, school, bars, restaraunts, etc. anywhere except the capital building, really. Same goes for pistols except you need a permit. But there's a twist! Cops are not allowed to verify you have a permit. So f*** the permit, amiright?

It'll certainly cut down on people that are purchasing while angry at someone. (Although I'm sure data doesn't show many people buy guns for that sole purpose anyhow)

I completely agree with you. I realize those weren't acquired through sales. I honestly don't think we'll be able to stop these kinds of shootings. There's too many people who can get guns who are psychopaths. No law will change that. But do we have to wait for someone to buy a gun through a show and shoot a place up? And expanded background checks can prevent people with mental and domestic violence issues from buying them. It may not stop mass shootings, but it may make it more difficult.
And can someone tell me how this will prevent normal citizens from buying one?
