No Cops To Save You, But Too Bad You Couldn't Get A Gun To Protect Yourself

Since you don't need a background check to get a gun, requiring FFL to perform them is punitive and serves little purpose outside of freeing the FFL from liability.

Gun-free zones shouldn't exist that's also known as a shooting gallery.

Age requirements make sense as well as other gun regulations.

but just because some regulations makes sense doesn't mean all of them automatically do.

Hey registration is strictly punitive. The motivation not to register your firearm is greater than the motivation to register it. And there is little if anything anyone can do if you choose not to register it.

Honor systems only work among the honorable.

 

O.K.

The population of New Zealand were asked to turn in some of their firearms within the last year or so.

Australia were made to turn in their firearms in '97.

 

Can you explain “The motivation not to register your firearm is greater than the motivation to register it.”?

I have three firearms, I would have zero issue registering them.
What is my motivation not to do so of it could prevent even one death?

 

Focus guy-we were talking about gun registration leading to confiscation.

The same is true about the access to reproductive healthcare.

I think it should be just as hard to buy a firearm as it is to get an abortion.

 

How would you registering guns that you already own prevent a death?

I'm background checked 6 ways to Sunday from my military history, my civilian job, and my License To Carry. I'm even exempt from federal background checks and only have to fill out a 4473 when I purchase a gun. How would registering my guns save a life?

 

Show me where government workers are shuttling minors across state lines to buy a gun without their parents' consent.

 

There is a ten day waiting period to buy condoms?

Why?

Getting a fire arm at the age of 15 without a parent's consent seems stupid to me.

 

The Constitution wasn't designed to hassle the citizens it was designed to ensure citizens had rights and if hassle existed it would be for the government. That folks like you would want trample on the rights of citizens because something bad could happen goes against the very foundation in which this country was built...

 

Yep. The civil unrest will wait.

 

No, it won't. Which is why every American should have been prepared before it was needed.

 

Point and laugh at these people.

 

I haven't visited an LGS since this all started I don't need to but I was told that it's been like Black Friday in there for the past week, without the sale prices.

 

You are sitting at a computer or a phone with internet access. The reason you don't know what words mean is laziness. I googled it. It's not pejorative. It's not a complement either it's just a word.

Look it up don't be offended by your own ignorance.

 

That is done in WA. When you sell a gun to someone (legally), the ser# and transaction is recorded. Otherwise the law would be unenforcible.

This is why folks say MBGCs are a registry in all but name. If there is no registry, theres no way to prove when people circumvent the BGC with a private sale, and MBGCs effectively lose their mandate.

Given that, what is it that you think a registry will accomplish nationwide, that it hasn't accomplished in WA state, that would justify the ~$500M/year it would cost to impliment? Keep in mind, if the results nationwide reflect those WA state has seen in the last 5 years, we can expect around 10 convictions per year, or ~$50M per conviction.

 

If there were no unconstitutional gun laws, then these people would not be screwed. Screwed by liberals that think people shouldn't be able own a gun at all. If there is civil unrest, I guess the silver lining is that Darwinism will devour the gun grabbers.

 

It's really that standard left-wing arrogance.

"You are wrong because you disagree with me, and I'm right because I am the most intelligent."

 

Ten days I can go to the gun store tomorrow and take home any gun in the store I want the same day. Waiting periods are idiotic, go get your permit to buy or concealed carry and your can walk out the same day.

 

Purchasing pistols out of state is not that straight forward. You can purchase that pistol but you will not be able to take it home. It will have to get sent to a FFL in your state of residence for processing. Many states allow out of state purchase of long arms.

 

If your weapons were taken from you then you should be in the system as do not sell.

 

Or we could start prosecuting straw purchasers that have been caught. But they rarely get prosecuted because a lot of time it is a women who has an abusive husband or boyfriend who they are scared of. Which personally I do not find to be a valid excuse.

 

If you feel like it. People cross boarders every day with drugs, knock off designer clothes and even people. If that's easier than all the song and dance the laws are useless.

 

Where has it been established that the Cops are less capable of 'protecting' you now?

 

That isn't really common sense. Registration serves no legitimate purpose, and if you don't do a background check on someone there would be no way to know.

Unenforceable laws are a waste.

 

They aren't capable of protecting you, that isn't their job.

You need security for that.
