you really can't control what people want to do. you can control what the things they access to. why is that so hard?
Exactly. Why shouldn't we make it as difficult as possible for these mass shootings to happen?
Step one would be to ban assault weapons. Ban sales of modification items. Ban the gun show loophole. Put a 500% sales tax on ammunition. Require registration and licensing.
Funny thing is that this would only have an effect on a small percentage of people. 99% of us would not be effected at all.
500% tax on ammo? Come on.
Why not? Are your jollies at the range really worth the risk your kids face every time they go into public?

Perhaps ammunition purchased and used at the ranges could be exempt from tax.
Exactly. Law enforcement personnel in the line of duty and ammo used exclusively for training or at ranges would be exempt from the increase, but only when used in those capacities. Caught violating the regulation, you lose your guns and ammo for 10 years. Keep those range owners on the up and up so they don't start selling on the side and letting Randy Rifle take it home.

I m not for taxing anything like that. I m not sure if homicides would go down but I do know that this has zero chance of passing.
Two more have passed away in El Paso...bringing the death count to 22. Such a sad state of affairs. You can't even walk into a Walmart these days without having to fear for your life.
Ohio State Rep blamed everything from gay marriage and trans people to Obama to professional athletes who take a knee for this shooting. Thankfully, some of her GOP colleagues have called her out.

You’re right, it has zero chance of passing - as long as gun owners have that mentality. If the gun lovers ever actually said “we need to find a way to solve this”, things would be different. Instead, it’s always “that’ll never work”.

I listed about ten other things that I would be ok with, taxing the shit out of something is not the answer imo. As a gun owner I am pretty open minded but I definitely do not agree with this idea.

500% is a bit over the top, but I don't know that it has zero chance. There have been "sin" taxes on alcohol and tobacco for years. The same concepts can be applied. In fact, state and local gov't could accomplish this if they had the political will. It doesn't have to be federal.
In Sweden you have to have a hunters license or be a member of a sport-shooting club (for 6 months before acquiring a gun of your own). I think there is also a seperatae ”collector” license one can apply for.
and you need a seperate license for every aquired Gun and a safe/locker that meets the criteria for safe keeping (Where Guns have to be stored when not in use)
Plus the normal red flags check when getting your license. Doctors also need to report If they find someone might not be suitable to keep their license.
It think you can own a maximum of 6-8 guns. But can apply to have more.
add a license for reasons of ”self defense” for those unique American needs maybe.
Maybe that could be something? Or too swedish?

Was your “ten things” list the post that started “One handgun a month..”? If so, I don’t see much in there that actually limits guns. The idea that someone can just keep on buying more and more handguns is ridiculous. The only idea I liked in that post was that every sale was registered, which is a start, but only the barest start.

I've played video games most of my life and not once, not even a little bit, did I think I should go out and kill people. Other countries have people with mental illness but the U.S. is the only one with gun carnage like we have. Why is that, I wonder? Is it too obvious to think it's because there are too many guns...military weapons? I think not. It's slaughter now. We have to vote out the people blocking possible solutions. We have to keep trying to get it right. Have a safe evening.

The political will that we need is the will of the gun enthusiasts. Without that, legislation is doomed, in my opinion, so it’s a matter of whether any event could be egregious enough to bring the gun lobby to its senses.

I don't think something that egregious even exists. If someone showed up at an NRA-sponsored event and opened fire on the crowd, they'd probably spend more time praising whoever shot the gunman down than they would mourning their friends that died.
Ok i deleted bad words. But trump saying that absolute bullshit it was mental illness pulling the trigger . What a c**t. Absolute liar and fraud. I suffer with mental illness and its no joke. And not to be just banded around. This is a gun issue. No gun . No shooting wake the fuck up. I get very upset putting these people in my bracket. Not at all or even slightly a mental illness at all. Its a gun problem . You see it gives pathetic idiots power they dont deserve. Come at me with your hands and we will see A gun is the tool of nothing more than a pathetic coward. Fact not negotiable at all. COWARDICE

They would call the victims "2A martyrs". I know this, because over on Breitbart, that's what they're doing. They don't understand a martyr dies for a chosen cause I guess. If Sandy Hook didn't do it, nothing will. It's crazy.

and you need a seperate license for every aquired Gun and a safe/locker that meets the criteria for safe keeping (Where Guns have to be stored when not in use)
Plus the normal red flags check when getting your license. Doctors also need to report If they find someone might not be suitable to keep their license.

I like a lot of those ideas. I really agree with either attaining a hunting liscense (safety training first) or belonging to a shooting club.
