Private sales at gun show on hold after three hurt in accidental shooting

I oppose registration, but not because I am in the Black Helicopter Watchers Club. It is nothing more than the groundwork to impose remote vicarious liability on the last person they can prove that owned the gun when the gun is later misused by someone else.

uh its designed to facilitate confiscation-as proven in NJ, California, NYC, Australia and England

I live in a red state. Ain't gonna happen.
 
It would appear that yet another of the responsible majority switched sides at the Lone Star College today. I wonder where they made their purchases?
 
Ahhhh! all hearsay.
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who heard it from a security guard at the show. :lamo

Your post is neither edifying nor entertaining. Your post is void of intellectual content, and is unresponsive to the post it pretends to address. It is a pretend response, one expected from one who lives in a pretend world.
 
Not that I mind but you misunderstood my post. I was trying to say that even entertainment influences should have made you AWARE of the fact that you must check (to see if loaded) not assume (that it isn't). I think we're all on the same page here. Or at least I hope so.


No, you should assume that any gun is loaded and handle it accordingly. Like my dad always said, "there's no such thing as an unloaded gun".

my post has more merit than an unsubstantiated claim. Thanks for your input.
 
I find it helpful when you label your posts as "clear lies"


I have yet to find anything helpful in your posts. You have already admitted your goal on these issues is to harass conservatives. You have yet to post anything that is either factual or honest
 
Three people injured by guns in one day seems like small potatoes when compared to the couple of hundred killed each day in vehicular accidents.

It seems like some perspective is required. HowStuffWorks "What's the most dangerous room in the house?"

Everyone in the US has the right to purchase a home, but homes are regulated and the appliances in them are aalso subject to regulation. If you are living in an unsafe home, you can be evicted

Sounds to me like a person had to draw their gun to defend themselves against a criminal with a gun. Wonder who will argue that he should have just taken a round in the chest like a man in the name of crime prevention?
 
Or two legally armed arseholes butted heads and wounded innocent bystanders.

unsafe guns-ie ones that are not properly proofed or that the safeties fail should not be sold either

if you don't know what proof testing is-look it up

if you actually own a gun proof marks used to be common on the barrels

I guess you didn't pay attention

according to that college it was not legal for them to have the guns on school property

furthermore possessing a gun for the purpose of committing a crime makes your possession illegal even if you once legally acquired the weapon


it is the policy of this [college] System to prohibit the carrying of firearms, knives, or clubs onto any of the System's facilities. The possession of firearms, illegal knives, and prohibited knives on System facilities including parking areas and publicly accessed facilities is a violation of criminal law and Board policies.

Unsafe guns ie - ones that are sold w/o a background check or are not registered, or are not properly secured when not in use (making them available to their children when the gun owner leaves them home alone to fend for themselves), or are treated as if they're unloaded w/o checking.

everytime you post you prove you know even less about guns then some originally thought


every gun sold in the USA before 1993 was sold without a check

what a stupid statement you have made
 
non-sequitor noted

so it is your learned position that every weapon sold in the USA through mid 1993-in other words over 200 years worth was UNSAFE

you really don't know much about guns do you?
 
2nd non-sequitor noted

you made the post-is that your position-every gun sold until mid 1993 was sold without a federal background check. and you said all such guns are unsafe. That is a moronic claim

You missed my point; even if you clear the weapon, you still assume that it's loaded and handle as if it's loaded. Such conduct should be as automatic as breathing. I repeat my dad's axiom: there's no sych thing as an unloaded gun.

These homes were not necessarily "unsafe". The point is accidents happen and a world of regulations won't prevent them from happening. In fact that's why they are called 'accidents'.
