In light of Las Vegas and political push for more gun control

[jammr247]

Why should I hate a gun?

A gun never spoke me an ill word
Or talked behind my back.
A gun never flipped me the bird
Racing by me in the left track.

A gun doesn't turn its back
On a friend in need
A gun doesn't need a heart
Or a soul on which to feed

A gun never punched me in the face
Or kicked me while I'm down
A gun never smeared my name
Never treated me like a clown

A gun has never made me sick
Or left me in the cold
It never has unfriended me
Even as I grow tired and old

A gun has never stole from me
Or failed to share a meal
Often a gun has given just that
A turkey, deer or teal.

My gun stands always at my side
Forever cold, yet brave
To shield me in that hour of need
When my loved ones I must save.

Remember that the Minutemen
could not this country make
Without the guns they held so dear
Our freedom would be at stake.

Lord bless the man that wields a gun
With honor for his cause
We are a nation under God
With justice, peace and laws.

I thank Him twice for the men
that fought and died for me
They waged wars for years on end
To save this right for me.

And thus we must bear the torch
Shine bright for all to see
A gun is the gift we must preserve
To keep our liberty

and a guy that planned this attack for 10 months not getting a gun would not have stopped him it would only have made him choose a different attack.

Welcome to the Forum!

As soon as I saw on the news about Las Vegas, I said to myself "here we go again". I certainly would have been surprised if the gun control topic didn't pick up steam.

Now Trump is talking about gun laws. Hope he does not do another flipflop.

 

[pronstar]

I dunno but I'm thinking a suppressed SBR will wind up in my safe sooner rather than later...

Highly unlikely we will see any changes in regards to NFA.

If anything, you will see bump fire sticks become an "illegal modification" of some sort.

I suspect something more along the lines of mental illness legislation. Trump may see it as a compromise and it's something I believe he mentioned during the primaries and possibly the general election.

 

[oldag]

YG is likely spot on regarding ATF classifying bump stocks as an illegal modification.

 

[nlghthawk]

 

[Charley]

Pelosi introduced a bill in the Senate today to ban bump fire stocks.

I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

That author is going to have their liberal card confiscated.

My wife, a life-long Democrat from New York, put in her LTC paperwork yesterday...

most balanced article from an anti I've ever read... but there are still some inaccuracies (Rocket propelled grenade launcher attachment, anyone?) -maybe helping prove she's not a "gun person"

She at least attempts to look at ways to solve problems directly, instead of just emotionally attacking an inanimate object.

Read that today. Very good read. An open and honest assessment of the issue using stats and a realistic analysis.

Because everyone at the concert was armed I'm sure.

Probably confused it with "grenade launcher" as in the one on Yugo SKSs (that have to be cut off to sell them in CA) and original HK G3s that had it removed in the semi-auto HK91.

There goes the suppressor bill.

 

[Steve_In_29]

There goes the suppressor bill.

The Bill has been tabled not thrown out. At least as of now.

Pelosi submitted a Bill outlawing bumpfire stocks.

Which (as usual) is written at maybe a 3rd grade level of understanding about firearms...
