WilshireOver 80,000 Illinois people banned from owning guns still keep them, report shows
shalafiSo what are you gonna do? Send the cops to kill them? Because that’s how it plays out.
And then there’s the apocryphal boating accident. Prove I still have the guns.
License, insurance and registration (just like cars) for every gun. Massive fines with accruing interest for “lost” guns.
What about stolen guns?
If you carve out an exception then everyone will just say they were stolen.
And if you don’t carve out an exception, you are now punishing people for a crime they didn’t commit.
Then you report it stolen as soon as you see that it’s gone
If it’s used to commit a crime before you report it, there should be huge penalties. And if you’re just falsifying police statements, that’s already a crime.
Just change “guns” to “cars” to see how ridiculous this position is. And cars are far more lethal per capita than guns are.
So you know, I’m in favor of much stronger gun control in this country, licenses, registration, insurance, training requirements, recurring training requirements, all that. But your line of thinking in regards to criminalization is counterproductive and not rooted in the reality of how society works.
Funny how it’s not an issue in Australia or virtually any other countries.
I’d love to see something like the response in Australia happen in the U.S., but it’s clear that there are enough people in the U.S. who are okay with kids being shot to death in schools, and adults being shot to death in theaters and grocery stores, that it isn’t going to happen. So we have to use alternative tactics to make meaningful progress.
Just the minority of this country is fine with it, doesn’t make everyone. Where would we be if the civil war was not fought?
I know it’s a minority. But it’s enough (which is what I said), because they have been effective at stalling real progress on the issue. Not sure I understand how this relates to the civil war, unless you are just saying gun control is “the right thing to do” regardless of the will of the ammosexuals. Which I agree with.
They’re not the stalling gun control. It’s the 1% and corrupt partisan judges, as I said. It’s funny, the 1% drove us to Civil War over slavery the first time using ignorant rednecks, they didn’t learn their lesson, now they think because they’ve got guns no one else does. It’s a joke. The cops don’t want to actually put themselves in jeopardy to enforce laws. This will come to a conclusion one way or another. You’ve obviously swallowed their propaganda so I’m done with you
I look forward to you solving this problem then.
I did, which you keep conveniently avoiding.
