Thank you. The NRA resisted any gun laws after RFK & MLK assassinations. Bucky Jun 2021 #38

They used to teach hunter education in school too DenaliDemocrat Jun 2021 #2

What you predict will happen would require roughly 80% to 90% of firearms to be confiscated. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #4

No reason not to have it as a goal. We've coddled gunners too long. Hoyt Jun 2021 #5

Hm...I don't feel particularly "coddled". Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #6

Well, Hero, you have been. No other country would put up with your gun love. Hoyt Jun 2021 #8

The Czech Republic would. Check out this picture of a typical Czech gun shop: Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #9

Czech Republic, LMAO. And they have tougher requirements than most rube red states. Hoyt Jun 2021 #10

Many of their laws are looser than those we have at the national level. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #12

Do you personally meet all these qualifications? How many US gun owners would? Beastly Boy Jun 2021 #11

I could easily meet those requirements. I suspect most (certainly not all) American gun owners Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #13

Really? I can drive down to the local Walmart parking lot and buy a gun from some guy AndyS Jun 2021 #22

Such a purchase is not legal in Colorado (where I live) or in California, New Mexico, New Mexico, Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #24

I repeat; some parking lot, two strangers, no background check and no records kept. AndyS Jun 2021 #26

I said their laws were less restrictive than ours in *some* respects. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #28

Can you articulate which Czech gun laws are less restricted than ours and in what? Beastly Boy Jun 2021 #31

Silencers being sold over the counter and "shall issue" at the national level. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #52

Silencers require license and registration. "Shall issue" is preceded by rigorous vetting and Beastly Boy Jun 2021 #54

I am sure you could. But do you? Beastly Boy Jun 2021 #30

These requirements don't seem unreasonable sarisataka Jun 2021 #21

I would speculate there are more than 2% of gun owners who are under 18 yo. Beastly Boy Jun 2021 #37

Since it is illegal for licensed dealers sarisataka Jun 2021 #41

Happened in Australia. Gunners there didn't like either. Makes my heart bleed yellow water . . . AndyS Jun 2021 #27

Rebelling against the government hasn't worked out so well for the Jan 6ers. AndyS Jun 2021 #33

Where did I say I was going to defy the US government? Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #51

I apologize for my interpretation of your response. AndyS Jun 2021 #53

I think a violent response to the government attempting to confiscate 80% of guns would be Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #55

As I was responding to your personally addressing me. nt AndyS Jun 2021 #56

First, the 'Boy' was a paraphrase of a '50s vintage C&W song AndyS Jun 2021 #58

There's two things they didn't have that we do: Polybius Jun 2021 #34

The 2nd doesn't mean what gunners are brain washed to think it does. AndyS Jun 2021 #35

To the Court it does Polybius Jun 2021 #36

It's a moot point sarisataka Jun 2021 #42

Realistically confiscation isnt possible. YMB Jun 2021 #45

Australia didn't confiscate guns. They bought them. Gunners had two options: AndyS Jun 2021 #43

No NRA gun nut I know would never turn in their guns. They would die first. nt USALiberal Jun 2021 #40

In my mind, the NRA completed its transformation from a gun safety organization to a Chainfire Jun 2021 #17

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety. keithbvadu2 Jun 2021 #19

At the current time... jmowreader Jun 2021 #20

Unfortunately there is no difference in the behavior toward guns by children AndyS Jun 2021 #23

Yeah, some white wing gun-humping nutjob teaching children about gunz. Hoyt Jun 2021 #32

I think what we learned in recent years is the NRA exists to enrich their management Johonny Jun 2021 #48

When I was a kid the NRA meant gun safety. And the Southern Baptist convention had liberal churches GulfCoast66 Jun 2021 #49
