You’d think that, but jesus the NRA would fight that shit to the bitter end. And getting Congress to pass a Constitutional Amendment (especially with the GOP in control) is impossible.

There is no “gun show loophole”. That is a myth. And BGCs are required, but should be more extensive. And any hit for DV (pending or otherwise) should have an impact. I like the waiting period too - I think some states or firearms types do have a wait period, but I can’t recall.

Not remotely what I said. And I don’t even fucking like or own guns, so lol to that entire sentiment.

I don’t agree with all your ideas, but they aren’t all bad.

Did this kid go buy his gun legally? No? Well there you go.

...that seems... extreme.

Yes, because the UK and Australia are exactly like the US in size, demographics, history and law. Fuck yourself, you twit.

Jesus christ no! My mother is a teacher and I wouldn’t want her packing. That would put her in harms way for no good reason. And clearly the security wasn’t sufficient.

It isn’t police state or 1984. Reasonable laws to protect citizenry are generally fine. The PATRIOT act and shit is police state / 1984 level stuff. But I am with you - it is not an easy thing to solve, even with more laws added.

I live near Fort Bragg and actually work industry-adjacent to a Tactical/Firearm company (I work in gov’t procurement in a subsidiary). So I am neither lying nor ignorant.

Because the sound of a gun matters. A properly automatic weapon shoots high rate of fire accurately. A bump stock doesn’t do that.

Bump stocks are garbage. Mimic the rate of fire, but have none of the accuracy. Also, gun show loophole is a myth. Do some homework before you post.

Aw, that is cute. You sure tried!

I don’t. At all. Nice try though!

You are a fucking moron.

Define “assault weapon”. Because that is not a real term, just a hot button word. Automatic weapons are generally either banned or extremely difficult to obtain.

Oh?! Holy shit, lemme go buy a machine gun from Wal-mart then.

We do have BGCs. They just aren’t as thorough as you’d like. They probably should be significantly more thorough though.

That wasn’t the point being made.
