You haven't really clarified...but if I understand you correctly

If the 2nd amendment was repealed and guns banned, would you oppose the Constitution of the USA ?

There would be millions opposing it. So what is the difference between opposing that and all the violent rioting and looting and pulling down statues and defacing them of everyone under the sun? Is that somehow in tract with the Constitution?. And don't use the pretense it's peaceful demonstrations of grievances guaranteed by the Constitution.
 
If you have unregistered guns, you have to be nice to your wife. You don't want an angry ex going to the cops.


But it would be the same as an unregistered car. They'd fine you a hundred or two hundred and make you get it registered.

But, if you had 40 unregistered guns, it could hurt.

Is your weight really so fluctuating ?

Yes there would be millions, but in a country of 330 million, that is only to be expected

Trump, as bad a president as he has been, will sadly still get millions of votes


Would you care to tell us how you know this about Fledermaus to make a statement like that? Yes Rich I used the quote button right (as always).

IDK, I don't read his posts, yet he still replies to mine, like some pathetic love struck teenager, whining for attention.

What if...


1. You have to register each gun, just like you do a car, boat, or motorcycle. It's renewed every so often.

2. You have to have a valid license. To get this license, you have to pass a test. It's periodically renewed as well.

3. You have to undergo a background check.


Would you go through all this or just sell off your guns?

I went through this and own guns. I live in NYS.
I had to take a safety class.
I had to go through a background check.
Every gun purchased has to be registered and listed on your permit.
To secure my concealed carry permit, it had to be approved by a judge.
I went further and have taken numerous instructional classes.

The problem is not with the legal gun owners. The problem is with the illegal gun owners.

Just making a point.

If my cars, and my guns, reside on my personal property there should be no requirement for licensing and or registration...

My opinion and nothing more.

In NYS not possible. You can not legally purchase a fire arm in NYS without a permit or the weapon being registered.

Guns don’t have to be registered in the free USA. You folks in communist NY , I don’t know if they are free or not.

Are you really not that smart to figure out what I meant? If that's the case revisit the whole quote meme.

YES! Many orange jump suits. 330 million is overall. Unless you expect 1-12 year olds in orange.

Why don't you try. Or are you only interested in how he may reply to you, which doesn't make sense since you don't read his post.

I currently have to do all of the above, and will continue to do so.
 
Casper said:
It was stolen, they aren't registered, opps.
Click to expand...

You're so naive

If it has a serial number the manufacturer will know what dealer they supplied it to

The dealer will know who they sold it to

Credit card records

The criminal who stole it might confess where he got it from

There are lots of ways a stolen gun can be traced back to you.
 
Rich2018 said:
So you wouldn't report it's loss to police...?
Click to expand...
Hell no I would not report it. It would be an unregistered gun and against the law to own so reporting it could possibly result in charges filed against me.
And if it was used in a crime and recovered and traced back to you ?
Click to expand...

It would never be registered to me therefore could not be traced back to me. Or I would simply claim I sold it to some dude that was kind of a prick in GA, went by the screen name Rich2018. Then it would be your troubles not mine

Your use of the quote function failed you again

How do you perceive that your post might have been incompletely read ?


Are you really not that smart to figure out what I meant? If that's the case revisit the whole quote meme.

Better still why don't you explain it

I don't understand what "quote meme" means



YES! Many orange jump suits. 330 million is overall. Unless you expect 1-12 year olds in orange.

If you eliminate minors, the proportion of people that are incarcerated in the USA climbs still further

Because Obama is a decent man and was a good president

He might even have been a great president had he not been hamstrung by a hostile Congress


Same as always.

But seemingly it became hard again with post #36

Because I regard his posts as worthless
I don't reply to them anymore, yet still he replies to mine, knowing I ignore them
Don't you think that just a little bit sad

Maybe his cries for attention will stop if I ignore his posts for long enough, what do you think ?
 
Captain Adverse said:
Neither.

I don't own any weapons now, although I am seriously considering it for the first time in many, many years.

The reason being that I find myself concerned about the socialist/authoritarian bent of so many of my fellow citizens.

So if I ever finally choose to own a gun, I would do so while also choosing not to obey a single one of those conditions.

So I chose "Other."

I find this reply interesting and odd.
Being from the UK I know nothing about guns except computer games.
What I'm confused about is that I assume you're a law-abiding citizen so if the law says you need to do those things surely you'd comply with the law?
Are guns a special case for you where the law is concerned?
Are you against all gun laws or specific laws?
