ban assault rifles (which by the way are rarely used as a murder weapon) and certain things that make certain guns look more scary.

It was mainly about the deportation of all citizens (legal or not) that are Mexican, because 8/10 gun deaths, the shooters were Mexican. Do you really think I wouldn't know about the bill?

And to be honest, I'm actually glad to see the Mexicans go back to where they came from. Maybe... Just maybe they'll take their guns with them too.

Thank goodness it didn't pass.  We don't need more gun regulation.  Criminals don't give a flying fuck about laws.  It's just more control over the people.  We should be free to own guns as we damned well please.

1. to stop people that have been denied weapons in the past for various reasons. they dont even check for this.

2. to stop people with previous mental illness from getting a hold of guns. again, they dont check for this.

3. to stop people with parents/kids/other relatives with past gun crimes or mental illness from receiving guns and distributing them

This bill was mainly about requiring more extensive background checks on perspective guy buyers. While it sounds good, i dont think it will do much. Lots of these shooters have had no past crimes and or mental illness that was documented and/or they just used guns that belonged to reletives or friends. This just seems like it will make it take longer for me to get a gun and not have mich of an impact on criminal activity.

The other bills which didnt make it far at all in congress were those that were going to ban "assault style" weapons and high cap mags. These bills are the ones that are just bullshit and many people from congress both D and R seemed to agree seeing how they were almost immediately shot down.

Mobile so there might be some typos.

Point number 3 is just stupid. So what if my brother is a ex con? He is not me and that should in no way affect my ability to buy a gun if i dont have any affiliation with his past crimes.

Well this is a fucking stupid argument. Where do criminals get their guns? From stores or private sellers. If more extensive background checks were implemented, where would their guns come from?

I think their should be some sort of system like registering a car. You go in every year or so and show them that you have all of your guns/that they're in proper working condition. This way, if a gun were to disappear from the system the owner would be flagged at the next registration date. Responsible gun owners don't just lose guns.

It took 50 years for the Senate to say smoking was bad for you. You really want the Government to Dictate who can have a gun and who can not have a gun. Government needs more Mental Health Hospital not more rules and regulations!

I dont need 3 good reasons I only need one.


-They start with a bill requiring background checks

-Then they expand the background checks to include miniscule things

-Next youre required to get a stamp for a background check

-Now you can only get background checks through government approved places (theyd make the license either expensive as fuck or impossible to get

-The next step is ceasing distribution of all background approval stamps



Theyve now effectively banned firearms without making it "Illegal"

This is how the gov gets around shit, people dont realize it cause it would be over a span of 5 years rather then passing a ban bill over one month

You know the slippery slope argument can be used for every fucking law that has ever been created, right?

Like most of the GOP's platform, your argument is based on zero fact... your "point" resembles something I'd hear from a kid arguing about his bed time.

The reason guns are falling into the wrong hands is that background checks are not required for all gun purchases. And don't give me any bullshit about buying them from unregistered sellers. It might just be me, but I think an extensive background check on a private seller would show whether or not they were selling guns illegally.

I used to oppose gun control. Then I put in about ten minutes of thought and realized that I was completely wrong and that certain measures would undoubtedly increase public safety.
