There are a lot of things I would in theory support or at least not be against, if I didn't know damn well it wouldn't end there and even if there were universal background checks and licenses to own and all "assault weapons" banned, they'd still moan "can we puhleeeeeese have some reeeeeeeeeaaaaaasonable gun control waaaaah" and act as if anybody could still just go and get a Tommy gun at ACE hardware. With the preliminary end result that you can't even have a potato peeler anymore, like in Englishstan.

So... still: no. not one further step.

Right on.

Just "Common Sense" gun laws is all we want...today:

1 Just give us universal NICS, that all, no more no less.

2. Based upon the latest school shooting with NICs in place we know who he bought it from and where he bought it and when, but it did not stop the latest school shooting. We just need common sense laws so effective today, all buyers of the following guns AR 15/10 must apply for a LICENSE to buy a gun.

3) Based upon the latest school shooting with NICs AND Licensing in place we know who he bought it from and where he bought it and when, but it did not stop the latest school shooting. We just need common sense laws so effective today the following guns AR 15/10 are banned completely, you have 6 mo to turn yours in or be finned up to $10,000 per gun and or face up to 10 years in jail.

5) etc etc

Not!

SO RIGHT!

Pass a law and EVERYONE obeys it, its just that simple folks, the more laws the safer we are. Knife crimes are on the rise, that is because there is not a specific law to address knife crime, we pass a law that focuses on that then everyone will follow the law and crime will end. RIGHT???????

I support "common sense " gun laws.

In fact we have had one for over 220 years.

It's called the Second Amendment!

Oh I could care less about a knock on my door or “getting in trouble” with the law. What I couldn’t live with is a gun I provided someone being used negligently or unlawfully to harm an innocent person, especially a child. When I have sold guns to new shooters, I meet them at a range and teach them how to safely handle, shoot, disassemble, clean, reassemble the gun before I turn it over to them. At least then I know they were taught the correct way, what happens after that is on them.
Again...folks can choose to handle transferring their guns the way they see fit and proper as I will continue to do.

Why would you feel bad? You didn’t make them do what they did.

That’s easy sir, you won’t get my guns then. Wouldn’t want and don’t need someone’s money not willing to provide their name and proof of identification. Haven’t had any problem selling any gun so far, but thanks for your concern.
Again...my guns, my rules.
Just out of curiosity, if/when you sell a gun, you don’t require any ID whatsoever? You just take their “green money” no questions asked eh?
I guess one can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution.

Spoken like a true freedom loving Texan...oh wait it sounds more like someone from CA.

Nor would anything he says he supports do anything to prevent someone "misusing" a weapon he sold at a later date.

Just a simple question. Would/do you support universal background checks?

The ONLY way to enforce universal background checks is to create a federal firearms data base that is kept current. Otherwise national gun registration.

A few well publicized buy/bust arrests between private parties would pretty much make it self-regulating.

So you support big government?

How do you get from me explaining how they can enforce it without registration to asking if I support big government?

Lunyfringe · Dec 23, 2018

I'm pretty certain it had a chilling effect on sales of used guns in Colorado when passed there... just made it a hassle.

And did nothing to prevent crime- just feel good legislation of bleeding hearts.

That is the way I read your post, like you are trying to justify it.

I don't read it that way.

I agree with you on the ID. I don’t want or need to have a copy of any ID either.

Then just how would you propose to use your s/w to "run that person" if you're given a mere fleeting look at the ID and don't have a photographic memory?

Ultimately, we do the best we can and we are NOT able to prevent grown ass people from committing crimes or making mistakes on down the line.

umm, they only make money if you sell some of them.

I don't buy them to make money.

(yeah, I know you were responding to the other guy.)

The comment he made did NOT imply he supported putting the law in place. He was making a statement of fact.
