Here's my idea for gun control.
Nov 13, 2017, 10:30 PM
|
|
We ban semi-automatic weapons, including pump-action shotguns, and do a buy-back program.
You can still hunt with a rifle or double-barrel shotgun, you can still protect your home with a handgun, you can still join the militia when the King of England invades, but you can't have anything semi-automatic. That will also end the argument about high-capacity magazines, supressors, and bump stocks.
Tell me why this won't reduce mass shootings without hindering law-abiding gun owners from doing the things they wanna do.

anyone who didn't turn in their semi-automatic weapons would be criminals with illegal firearms.

If we make murder illegal, then people just won't do it. Because, you know, it would be illegal.

to reduce mass shooting.
Its seems like you are targeting the wrong people with this. I have a semi auto shotgun (several, actually) and a semi auto pistol. I'll never go on a mass shooting spree. What good would taking them from me do?

Pump action shotguns are probably the most used guns for hunting. Why would you ban those but not handguns? I can shoot 20 rounds out of my handgun in about 30 seconds, with a pump shotgun I can only shoot 5 without reloading.....

Nov 14, 2017, 7:32 AM

That's one reason I've tried on some occasions to get educated from folks here on the nature of our weapons laws.
It seems there is a line between "capable of doing too much harm" and "of legitimate practical use". And this would be a shifting of that line from the current law.
I don't know if it would be effective in actually getting severe weapons out of the hands of bad people, but honestly, it's hard not to think about something like this whenever there is a mass shooting.

You believe in the logic of that false quote right? That's why you want no guns in society? Most Libs would agree that a total ban is what is needed.

No, I don't believe in the "logic of that false quote," and I also never said I wanted no guns in society.
Perhaps you should discuss these issues with real people and not the "libs" that populate your hoax-fueled imagination.

There's no way anyone is selling back their pump or semi auto shot gun that their grandfather boughtand has been used in countless hunting trips with friends and family over the years.
At least I know I won't.

If we can eliminate guns, and bibles, then maybe we can move right on to that "only allowing one child per couple" thing I've been championing for years.

shotgun (that may or may not shoot at this point in time) is going to do for the murder rate though. I've got a 6' long 2x4 with a nail in it that is more dangerous.
Maybe we can start a buy back for those, too. We have plenty of money to spend on this kind\ of thing,amiright? I mean we already bought cars back, and that was a resounding success.

People probably found it offensive more because of the dismissive and condescending tone, similar to how they felt about a lot of things Obama said. It's not "clinging to our guns!!" to balk at silly, emotionally driven proposals and ideas.

close to the top as far as murders per 100k people. Places like St Louis and New Orleans are worse. Savannah has a higher murder rate. I think Chicago is outside the top 30. I looked it up recently and it was down there.

I've got a 70 year old single shot 22 with a clogged barrel and bent firing pin. How much will that get me? I've also got a 238 year old mini ball musket that some of my grea great great grandparents made in NC. Still has the original hickory ram rod. Think they'll give me some fair coin for that? I mean I might go mass shoot a bunch of people with it.
