    Overall or just since the video was made?  I'd be interested in both stats, tbh.

    Also, number of people killed or injured by Karen Mallard while deconstructing a gun: 0

    ^ This guy is clearly not a responsible gun owner. He’s a moron. 

    He was a “responsible” gun owner until he wasn’t.
    Says who? He may have always been irresponsible. I get what you’re saying, but my point is that such a thing (“responsible”) does exist. Clearly not from this clown. 
    The NRA and pro gun crowd would have you believe that every gun begins as a legal firearm and every legal gun buyer starts out as a “responsible” gun owner. I’m arguing that they’re “responsible” until they’re not. Thus, no recurring licensing or requirements to exhibit that you continue to “responsible” with a firearm after purchase.
    I’m actually a rarity on this topic. I am a responsible firearm owner (no quotes around responsible). There is such a thing, contrary to what some think.  There are also way too many irresponsible firearm owners, both legally and illegally.  I’d be accepting of much stricter gun laws, including extensive background checks, psychological testing, etc. I’d also be willing to ban any firearm that has a 30 round magazine (i.e. assault rifles).  If those two concessions were made (hypothetically) by the NRA and “pro-gun crowd,” would that be sufficient? I think the problem then becomes, if those laws are passed and someone goes on a rampage with a handgun, those will be the next target. Curious to hear your take. 
    I feel like most people who want stricter gun regulations would be oretty happy with those changes, although I don't think for a second that they would stop the gun violence/death problems that America is experiencing. That is a gun culture issue, not a regulation issue. Gun control helps for sure, just by making it harder for shit to happen, but it sure won't ultimately solve any problems. Americans need to get guns out of their DNA first (so to speak). They need to think of guns as abnormal instead of normal for the problem to really start getting fixed.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Pretty sure there would be more piles of dead bodies to deal with if any government entity actually tried to confiscate the public’s privately owned firearms by force.  Can we now put these “why is anyone against registration” bullshit arguments to rest?  This congressman created a prime example of why people vote against such measures.

    I hope he is the first to stack up.  Of course he won't be because he is a chickenshit, just like the rest of them.  I guess they really do want another Civil War.  What will he do when nobody is willing to comply or enforce it?

    How do you buyback something you never owned?

    Oh please, one congressman writes an Op-Ed and you guys are ready to Man the ramparts and go once more into the breach. Until an actual bill is introduced, makes its way into and out of committee to the floor and 218 house members vote yay and then the same process happens in the senate with 51 members voting yay, keep your paranoid delusions to yourself. If you so desperately want to kill, join the military or become “unresponsible.” Otherwise, you may never get your chance. But feel free to go out and buy another AR15 if it’ll make you feel more secure.

    So you think gun owners just “desperately want to kill”...I think you are the one with “paranoid delusions”.  I think it is safe to say that this is not the only numbnut that would support confiscation.  I will personally never vote for a person that supports a registry.

    No, but read Unsung’s stellar post above mine but you guys read or typically hear about an “opinion” and equate it with the government kicking in your doors tomorrow and some of you seem gleeful at the possibility. It’ll never happen. So, what are you going to do?

    Pretty sure there would be more piles of dead bodies to deal with if any government entity actually tried to confiscate the public’s privately owned firearms by force.  Can we now put these “why is anyone against registration” bullshit arguments to rest?  This congressman created a prime example of why people vote against such measures.
    Oh please, one congressman writes an Op-Ed and you guys are ready to Man the ramparts and go once more into the breach. Until an actual bill is introduced, makes its way into and out of committee to the floor and 218 house members vote yay and then the same process happens in the senate with 51 members voting yay, keep your paranoid delusions to yourself. If you so desperately want to kill, join the military or become “unresponsible.” Otherwise, you may never get your chance. But feel free to go out and buy another AR15 if it’ll make you feel more secure.
     
    So you think gun owners just “desperately want to kill”...I think you are the one with “paranoid delusions”.  I think it is safe to say that this is not the only numbnut that would support confiscation.  I will personally never vote for a person that supports a registry.  
    No, but read Unsung’s stellar post above mine but you guys read or typically hear about an “opinion” and equate it with the government kicking in your doors tomorrow and some of you seem gleeful at the possibility. It’ll never happen. So, what are you going to do?
     
    Vote...

    I am now firmly against any kind of registration.
    Of course, I mean when it comes down to disruption of a hobby or piles of dead human bodies, who doesn't choose the hobby??

    It starts that way for a reason.

    One shocking statement, surely few will accept, then time passes to another shocking statement.  Pretty soon it isn't shocking anymore and it is party policy.

    I was just about to say the same thing. Unsung,  you just pretty much defined how Trump's presidency and his cabinet do business.
