For reference:18 U.S.C. 922 posted:(d) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person— As always, IANAL, but nothing about that leads me to believe the VA that has any authority to declare someone a mental defective and thus strip someone of their rights. I doubt that there are any judges on the VA's payroll. Naked Bear fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Jul 28, 2017 |

If the one idiot had followed some form of escalation of force to begin with then there wouldn't have been anything to deescalate. e: Yes, I'm well aware that I'm making that comment from the comfort of my armchair. I can sympathize with the stresses involved, I know it's never that simple, etc. There's no excuse for being a stupid, trigger-happy gently caress, though.

M_Gargantua posted:But what does that have to do with people needing to own deadly weapons that are particularly good at killing people? Yes maybe we can finally knee jerk into banning them, but why was there a need for civilian ownership in the first place.

As an aside, I'd like to remind everyone about how it has always been perfectly lawful for folks to make their own firearms at home. Parts, tools, and plans are already out there for people to lawfully make their own firearms, and in 2017 it's easier than ever. Right now, I would presume that many are doing it for the DIY aspect, because it's certainly not cheaper than just buying a gun over the counter. Banning more things, aside from being a non-solution, will only serve to expand that market, thus making it even less expensive and easier to jump into. We all know how effective bans are at removing various things from the market (hint: they're not).

I completely agree with that! The good news is that the one really good thing Trump has done (unintentionally  ) has been to inspire more folks to learn about firearms.

Mr. Nice! posted:You know all of the anti-ban arguments were identical in Australia yet they haven't had any shooting sprees remotely like before, right? There is no good reason for most people to have any type of weapon and I say this as a gun owner. A proper gun buyback and proper registration of hunting/farm weapons would stop the vast majority of the daily gun violence in America. Mr. Nice! posted:Australia was actually very federalist and all gun laws were ran by the individual states. Mass shootings are not statistically significant and they are not the lens through which we should seek to regulate firearms. It sounds cold and uncompassionate, but it's the hard, uncomfortable truth. The "we need to do something" attitude is good and admirable, yes, and we certainly should! Mass shootings are just one problem among many. There are a number of root causes of violent crime, for which we must come up with a similar number of solutions. To suggest that there exists a one-size-fits-all solution is disingenuous at best, disastrous at worst. It's quick and easy to propose one solution; it's difficult to tackle a number of different problems and come up with solutions for all of them. That's hard work, but it needs to be done. I think we can all agree that civilian firearm ownership is an overall net positive, details aside. Mr. Nice! posted:Basically if the only purpose of the weapon is killing people (handguns, assault rifles, etc) it should be banned from regular civilian use. This is common sense unless you really think that an armed populace is going to overthrow the government. I hazard that even if every gun owner banded together now that it couldn't be done. The original intent of the 2nd is null in a modern context. e: M_Gargantua posted:See I can't justify arguing that a semi-automatic handgun is not primarily ideal as a defense weapon since its something you can conceivably carry often should the need arise. But youre not going to be walking around town with a mini-14 for self defense and deer hunting at the same time.

As another aside, I'd just like to thank everybody here for being cool cucumbers even though we don't all agree on some things. This seems like a rarity these days, especially through the semi-anonymity of the internet.

Grem posted:David Vandercoy is approaching his evidence in the wrong way. While Madison was fearful of government tyranny the majority of the Senate, who made Madison rewrite the amendment, had in mind a military that would assist the government in putting down insurrections and rebellions, as is evident in the Militia Clause. Shay's Rebellion and the government's inability to effectively control the situation had much more to do with the Second Amendment we have than the American Revolution or all the British history he goes in to does.

I was a bit distracted by other... tasks, so I apologize for the cock tease. It's on the way.

Deathy McDeath posted:GUN CONTROL QUESTION AHEAD Certainly, there are folks who can't seem to handle gun ownership, but I think we all know that the idiots who get the spotlight are an incredibly small minority here. Consider yourself for a moment: you're probably just a normal dude who happens to like shooting. The vast majority of folks out there with guns are ordinary people like you and me who happen to enjoy shooting; they're not mall ninjas, they're not white supremacists, and they're not buck-toothed sister-fuckers. "Ordinary" people are just that. Why do I say this? People haven't changed much since the days when you could mail order anti-tank rifles to your door, but the way that we interact with one another has. We live in a society where everybody is connected twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There have recently been plenty of good articles exploring the ways that social media, 24/7 news, and an always-connected society gently caress with peoples' mental health and generally make life miserable, and the biggest takeaways from those are that a) echo chambers are incredibly easy to form and b) the opinions you're exposed to every day aren't necessarily representative of the populace as a whole. This isn't to imply some wacky tinfoil hat conspiracy poo poo is going on, merely that it's easier than ever for voices to reach further, especially when they're curated (for better or worse) and targeted at a particular audience (again, for better or worse). Unfortunately, some voices scream louder than others, and sometimes in an always-connected society some of those voices will drown out others, especially the quiet voices of people who are just trying to mind their own business and don't want to be bothered. The country we live in today is the safest it has been in generations. I don't think I need to preach to you guys about how poverty is the biggest driving factor behind violence in any given community, or show you lots of charts about how crime has been trending down for decades, or go on about how few crimes are committed by ordinary people who just so happen to own firearms. I think it's worth briefly mentioning these things here if only so that you keep them in mind the next time some unhinged lunatic starts screaming about blood in the streets or fascism or some other nonsense. You do what you want to do. That's the beauty of a society in which you're free to make your own choices. e: typos Naked Bear fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Mar 26, 2018 |
