MaxxBot posted:You don't have to know how to use a gun or have in depth knowledge of how they work, but it helps to at least have basic knowledge of different types of guns you want to ban. Otherwise you have things like "assault weapons" bans which literally means nothing, it's seriously based on cosmetic features rather then the functionality of the gun. I'd think people passionate about gun control would want to know that their legislation is essentially meaningless. It makes more sense when you realize they don't actually care about fixing the problem.

A Winner is Jew posted:I'm actually fine with this provided they are massively regulated if handguns are also subject to those regulations. I'm OK with this because by the time congress gets done with it none of the stuff about handguns would be in there, just like happened with the National Firearms Act.

It's like "Luck Duckies" all over again I like how furious readers gave them an excellent rundown on why exactly proles may not be spending quote:“Interest rates may be zero,” said reader Thomas Eckenrode, “but I know many people with credit card debt of $10,000 paying 15%.” He added student debt is an even bigger burden for his family. Or they may even harbor private ambitions of having savings someday!

Tatum Girlparts posted:I've always wondered, Rent-A-Cop and all, I assume you at least agree we should have SOME gun laws. If you have beef with non-experts writing them, who should? Wouldn't the 'experts' in this case all be in the pro-gun industry lobby? Isn't that like saying 'big pharma' should write our healthcare laws? I could see there being laws about adhering to chamber spec size and proofing and whatnot but that's not really a major safety concern, and seems like it would just be another layer of incompetently administered bureaucracy.

I always wonder if the people who advance that argument realize how accusatory it sounds. Like "maybe if you spent less time doing business and reading the Torah and making scientific discoveries, and more time stockpiling Mausers then you wouldn't be in this pickle eh?"

YodaTFK posted:So how do you think we should go about doing this? One of the biggest problems with these laws/systems is that the gun lobby has deliberately supported underfunding/hamstringing them. I can write my representatives all I want but everyone but my national Senators is a conservative who has campaigned on staunch opposition to gun restrictions of any kind. What does you and other TFR posters think we should do to affect change in a political climate that treats any and all restrictions on guns, even on the stupidest most pointless accessories, as a fundamental violation of rights? You should probably stop writing those laws, which as you admit are stupid and nothing but attempts to incrementally restrict all guns. That would be a start. Just restrain yourself from doing that for a few decades. Then once all the current Democrats have retired you can try again, and maybe somebody will believe you that you just want background checks or something.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:gently caress, I hate extending gun chat, but I see this come up all the time. Is this really the case? Are the the woes of Chicago gun violence to be blamed on surrounding states? There are probably enough cheap old guns in dressers to sustain Chicago for a hundred years. As we all know, the real causes of violence in places like Chicago are the drug war, inequality and the hollowing out of social services. But Democrats want to actually continue and deepen those policies, so here's a scary picture of a gun, support my fool's crusade.
