And.........Another one bites the dust!

Homelessness in every big city is an issue. Ever hear of Lower Wacker Drive?

It is an underworld unto itself in Chicago. It is a street beneath a street. It is much warmer on lower wacker than it is above. People live down there right on the other side of the barrier walls. It is pretty bad too.

Guvnah:

But a question for you: If you’re not saying regulations prevent anything, what’s the point at all in having them?

They seek to lower risk of accidental safety incidents, I’ve said that several times.

Guvnah:

Step back. Banning requires confiscation.

Good luck with that.

(PS: It’s also naive to assume that this 10-year-ban would take guns out of criminal hands that already have guns.)

It’s a hypothetical. I’ve conceded that it would never happen. But I wish we could at least try it to see the results.

Also I’ve never once suggested that banning guns would suddenly remove the ability for a criminal to get them.

It would just make it much harder to do so. Especially for the casual citzen.

Registration is a good thing. If you get caught with an unregistered firearm…it could be an automatic 10 year sentence. The law would have to be constructed in such a way that the government couldn’t use that registration to remove a firearm from any person without due process. Unless that person used that firearm in the commission of a crime. If that happens then I think it would be an automatic 10 year prison sentence as well or longer.

Try? Lets be reasonable and at least try…right?

No…

No…

NRA sponsored firearm training used to held at most high schools.

This would be a good way to promote gun safety.

If that is the goal.

altair1013:

Your vehicle is not registered with the federal government. So would the feds interfere with state law? After the feds force the states to register guns and it has no affect on gun violence, what would you do next?

I am referring to registering guns with the state. If one moves, needs to re-register, like a car.

Between proper training, storage and safety being required, with certification…suicides and accidents would be dramatically reduced.

Mass shooting would most likely be reduced as well.

As far as everyday gun violence. It would be less…but with the amount of illegal guns, that will never be registered…it will not have as big of an impact.

Still seems like a good ROI.

Heck, we were shooting 22’s in the grade school gym in 6th grade. I still have my signed off on paper target.

This is one thing that has changed.

Looks like somebody broke some training that was working.

Konssurvative1:

nope…NO BAN…but I would support some very common sense regulation. Mandatory training?

Much to my surprise, my 25 year old son went out on his own, went through all of the classes and now has a concealed carry permit.

Never in my life would I have expected him to do that.

But, I was proud of him for going to classes, learning and taking the time to study properly so he can handle a gun with the respect it deserves to be handled with.

I think if you are going to own a gun, training and continuing education is something a responsible gun owner would do.

DMK · 2019-12-30T20:42:09.515Z

Konssurvative1:

And to add to this. How many gun owners don’t store their firearm in a safe and proper manner. I. E. fully loaded under the pillow, under the mattress, in the bedside table, in the sofa cushions, on top of the refrigerator or where-ever else they store them so a family member, neighbor kid, or anyone else who should not have access to it, can get easy access to a loaded firearm.

I don’t know the answer to that. But, if you’re going to have children in the house it’s not a very bright idea to store your gun between couch cushions.

Konssurvative1:

It comes down to ownership responsibility. When that gun comes into the house, it needs to be unloaded and fully locked up.

Do you think the woman in the OP or many have the time to unlock a safe and load their gun when seconds count?

Konssurvative1:

This is how most of your domestic gun injuries and deaths occur. Not because a family member was mistaken for an intruder. Right?

I don’t know. Nothing has been shown in this thread on either statistic.

The last time I checked they were not regulated. It’s like the wild west out there.

Pools are regulated in California.

Cars are regulated as well.

Regulation doesn’t mean you no longer have use for the item. It mean protection are in place to lower risk of accidental death

Freaking everything is regulated in California except crapping on the sidewalks.

Fingerprint locks mag loaded inside gun safe, pop it in and shoot. Maybe 20 seconds.

You TrumpCons sure are obsessed about sidewalk poop. I mean it is creating civil jobs with in the city. They have to hire people to de poop the sidewalk. That’s called job creation my friend…isnt that a TrumpCon ideal??? Creating new jobs? Obama would call that a shovel ready job…

You Liz lovers sure are obsessed about the environment. Yet raw sewage and biohazards in the street don’t seem to concern you. What changed?
