In reply to the discussion: I'm back for more abuse from the gun nuts [View all]azureblue
(2,157 posts)63. let them have all the guns they want
But no ammunition. Make unauthorized possession of ammo a felony. Tightly regulate its sales and licensing. For instance, You want to hunt? Then you go buy exactly the number of shells you will need. You want a 1000 capacity magazine. Great, it's all yours/ You just don't get to have the rounds to put in it. Best part about this is, there is no mention of regulation of ammo in the 2nd amendment. The NRA never says a word about ammo restrictions - just gun sales. Gun lovers get to have all the guns they want. And a gun with no ammo is about as deadly as a brick.
Or, if you ask me, return to the days of muzzle loaders, black powder, hand molded bullets, and smooth bore weapons..

Do you think confiscation of the guns of some people or organizations is never ever reasonable?

Not sure - maybe you need more then 1 round per enemy? Figure a double-tap per, at least..

No, it doesn't. And Mozambique drill is three rounds per, so just call it 18...

So, you personally need the ability to kill 20 people without reloading.

The problem is that we don't know they're violent or even felons until AFTER they have a gun.

Gun nuts are those who claim regulation is prohibited by a law that states regulation is necessary.

We should accept nothing short of new amendments that repeal the 2A, ban and confiscate all guns.
