I like to think that between the shootings, the Moscow Mitch thing, and the coal miners taking action, mitch cracked open his strategic pappy reserve to avoid thinking of the various things he has caused and/or abetted, and ended up tripping over a phone cord as he drunkenly swerved around the corridors of his presumably massive estate house.

It has got to be possible to get a bipartisan consensus that if you are really into murder you get your license revoked and guns pulled. Like massage the wording a bit so it doesn't apply to Fox News commenters, old farts don't shoot as many people anyway. Just get the 8chan crowd disarmed.

Bored As gently caress posted:Use your strawman arguments somewhere else. My interpretation of what you said may not be what you meant but that doesn’t mean I’m straw manning you. There used to be methods for addressing domestic terrorism and white supremacy specifically and the reason those got rolled back was because they were hurting the Republican base, not because the intelligence collecting methods were too invasive. I think you’re right to be concerned about the current administration but the intelligence community and federal law enforcement has so far managed to stay on the level, DHS and CBP aside.

It doesn't address the violence/suicide/injury problem at all, it just stops the gun people from offloading the costs onto the rest of us. It can also be run as a non-profit public program to avoid private market rent seeking.

Just make semi-automatics NFA items (and fund the ATF so they can actually process applications in a relatively timely manner) and you'd probably cut down the amount of gun violence in this country by a massive amount while still allowing ownership of pretty much whatever to people who follow the law. It's really a pretty win-win solution for all sides and would require very little change to legislation.

If we extremely conservatively estimate that ten percent of them are semiauto and average $500 per gun that's $19.5 billion The same Congress who says $5.6 billion over ten years is too expensive to stop loving over war widows is going to fork over three and a half times that much in one go for something that's probably going to hit single digit compliance rates?

I'm not saying it's right, but: possibly? And if it only hits single-digit compliance rates, the program's cost will obviously be quite a bit lower.
