You can own a 6 shot revolver, and a 2 shot, shot gun. Nothing else.

[boston bean]

That's my solution. I don't think that infringes upon anyone's 2nd amendment rights.

However, it sure would cut down on all these mass murders.

[kentauros]

1. I don't normally reply to these kinds of threads,

but was thinking about solutions, too. I like yours, it could work

This one is a bit more absurd:

One person.
One gun.
One bullet.

The bullet would have a registration number on the casing. Every time you fire that one bullet, you have to keep the casing and return it to the store where you bought it as proof that you can buy another one. The registration number would also be proof that it was your bullet and not just one you found or made yourself.

If you lose your casing, well, I hadn't worked it out that far. Perhaps some lengthy time-period has to pass before you can buy another one.

No need for Chris Rock's solution of $5,000 per bullet, though this does limit the number of bullets as well.

Like I said, it's absurd, but maybe we could implement parts of it

[ileus]

15. What if you need two bullets to defend your life?

[kentauros]

17. Like I said, I hadn't gotten that far.

However, the other person also would have only one bullet. Of course, if it's a group of people against you, then you're fucked.

[Travis_0004]

30. I can go take some lead weights off a car rim in a parking lot and make new bullets.

I could reload just about as many bullets as I want to. How are you going to stop that?

[kentauros]

41. You did notice the part where I stated

"This is absurd" right?

[linuxman]

2. You can have 30 minutes in the approved free speech designated zone. Nothing else.

That's my solution. I don't think that infringes upon anyone's 1st amendment rights.

However, it sure would cut down on all these inflammatory ideas which cause mass murders.

[uponit7771]

4. Apples and pot holes

[linuxman]

8. Seems they are both right there in the bill of rights, but whatever.

I don't trust those who look to shred the BOR piecemeal. Time and again they've proven to me that it's really the whole shabang they don't care for.

I'll keep my guns, and all my other rights too, thanks.😃

[Dem2]

9. Post was kung-fu edited

I deleted my post.

[ileus]

12. 30 minutes....don't you mean 5 and 2?

[tallahasseedem]

18. If the terrorist would have used his First Amendment as opposed to his Second

Amendment rights, 50 people would still be alive.

Nice try though.

[linuxman]

25. If free speech channels were used to radicalized or inspire killers like this fuck

Would you want them shut down?

[Logical]

3. Once again, name ONE democratic senator who would support this!

[linuxman]

14. Senator Makebelievy from Indignantrageland.

[roamer65]

6. I think we need to limit general gun purchases to those two items.

Semi-automatic and above weapons need to be subject to a much more rigorous background search and permitting process.

[shadowrider]

33. Absolutely because you're deader if shot with a semi-auto

than you are dead if shot by revolver.

Makes perfect sense.

[Angel Martin]

44. absolutely !

"deadly" 380 auto and "much safer" 44 magnum 6 shot revolver

[Odin2005]

10. Authoritarian horseshit.

[ileus]

11. No thanks...

[MadBadger]

13. You can have a musket

Like the founders intended

[linuxman]

16. How did you hook your printing press to the phone lines?

I'm assuming that's how your wrote that.

[Kang Colby]

19. No, thanks.

Florida bans guns in clubs/bars. I hope they reconsider soon.

[liberalnarb]

22. What?

[jmg257]

20. These days revolvers and double barrels arent typical weapons

Related to the efficiency of a militia...not really in tune with that whole "militia purpose" of the 2nd.

[Spider Jerusalem]

40. The "militia" purpose of the 2nd Amendment is an irrelevant anachronism; we have the National Guard

and a standing army.

[jmg257]

43. That is true. Obsolete yet still laws of the land.

We The people know where to start.

[Takket]

21. i sure as hell wouldn't call one person

having enough firepower to take out a crowd of 50 people a "well regulated militia". It is time to stop the perversion of the 2nd amendment, which was granted to the people because of the continuing threat of British attack, that leads to the modern day interpretation that any person should be allowed to own any amount of weaponry and ammunition that they desire. That was never the intent or the goal of the 2nd amendment.

[beevul]

31. Do people actually believe this crap?

It is time to stop the perversion of the 2nd amendment, which was granted to the people because of the continuing threat of British attack...

NOTHING was granted to the people. Amendment 2 restricts government, it doesn't grant anything.

...that leads to the modern day interpretation that any person should be allowed to own any amount of weaponry and ammunition that they desire.

Hyperbole.

[shadowrider]

34. Do people actually believe this crap?

Sadly, yes. Yes they do.

[Takket]

35. yeah, people actually believe this "crap".

1. There is no fundamental difference between a right granted to the people and a restriction on government. I can call it a right, you can call it a government restriction, it is the same thing. Fill in the blank: The first 10 amendments to the Constitution are referred to as the Bill of _______.

I'm not sure what point you are even trying to prove by making this distinction.

2. Hyperbole? No its not. And don't come back with "people aren't allowed to own nuclear weapons". You know exactly what I mean. I can legally buy and own as many firearms and ammo as I want.

[beevul]

38. Uh yes there is.

1. There is no fundamental difference between a right granted to the people and a restriction on government.

Uh yes there is. In one example the right is granted by government. Government is the source.

In the other, government is not only not the source of the right, they're generally forbidden from interfering with it.


So yes, huge difference.

I'm not sure what point you are even trying to prove by making this distinction.

That accuracy matters and hyperbole serves no purpose.

[Heeeeers Johnny]

23. I'll pass on that

My response to your suggestion is that I would/will oppose, and work against any efforts that would impose
those limitations.

[One_Life_To_Give]

24. Hunters going to get hungry

Dropping a Deer with a 6 shooter will be a bit more difficult than with a long gun. And the Cops may not care for having to go back to the revolver.

[progressoid]

26. Nope.

I don't own a gun but know many people who do. They run the gamut from the occasional hunter (like my Dad, a lifetime member of the Democratic party) to the loony NRA guy (like my former boss who owns an arsenal). And none of them would find your solution reasonable. 2nd amendment notwithstanding.

[dawg]

27. You need to add some rifles to that list. Just limit magazine capacities to a few rounds.

There are still places in this country where rifles are necessary for hunting and wildlife control.

[boston bean]

28. I can go along with that.

[dawg]

29. We really need to make it hard for one person to do that much damage.

High capacity magazines, owning multiple magazines that can be rapidly exchanged, multiple weapons owned by a single individual - all of these things need to be looked at.

[Duckhunter935]

36. 3d print magazines

That is not really a viable option

[dawg]

39. Takes a bit of work. Multiple parts. Spring. Different materials required.

It'd be easier to buy one on black market.

No precautions are foolproof. But the more steps you make people take, the more chances there are for them to arouse suspicion.

[happynewyear]

32. a 6 shot revolver, and a 2 shot, shot gun

and you feel the need to have these it seems. Why?

We now have over 50 people dead because of guns, yes guns guns guns.

[Duckhunter935]

37. Or the person

That will be hailed as a hero

[Vogon_Glory]

42. I'd allow muzzle-loaders and possibly cap-and-ball revolvers

Muzzle loaders take a LONG time to reload (see the scene in the movie "Glory" ), cap-and-ball pistols reload faster, but slower than a conventional revolver, and WAY slower than automatic pistols and magazine rifles.
