Ok so sarcasm not about mass shootings still disrespects people shot and killed in the worst single instance of gun violence in America. Got it.rgambs said:This is a thread about gun violence in America, and we are still laying to rest the victims of the worst single instance of gun violence in America.
If you think it's an appropriate time to voice your immature sarcasm, that's on you.
I call bullshit when I see it, and it stinks around here.

I’m not really sure. I do not fear the government taking away my firearms. But many do. Maybe, if you want a registry to get implemented, there should be some wording such as “it is a federal crime to use this registry as a tool for a government entity to confiscate firearms”...?? Again, I think most just do not fully trust the government with information such as medical records, household possessions, anything. I’m not going to try and assume why so many others are against registration any more than I would try and assume why so many anti-gun folks push so hard for it...tbergs said:
Ok, so no real legitimate concern besides paranoia of the what if? I thought gun owners and the rest of us weren't supposed to live in fear? I'm fearful not properly tracking all firearms sales will lead to more dead bodies, but the other sides fear is complete loss of their property? That sounds like an equal argument. How would that even happen? As I referenced, how would all of these guns be taken away if that day were to come? It would take more than a 51 - 50 senate vote to make public citizens turn over their 20 guns. And at that point, you either hide the gun away for good or turn it in, right? Do you think millions will be imprisoned for failure to turn over their guns? This nightmare of all guns disappearing just makes no sense.PJPOWER said:
I think people fear that the data would be used in other ways. People fear them not being able to pass their property down to their children, people fear a government lunatic using it to confiscate, and others have other reasons. I also just think that a lot of people do not like further government encroachment. Who knows when the leftist equivalent of a Donald Trump may get elected...tbergs said:
Nice try....Maybe answer why so many are against the registry.PJPOWER said:
You should probably melt them all down and throw all of the ammo in a lake...If you turn them into the police, they will auction them off. Sorry that your father is such a paranoid gun nut, that must be very difficult.tbergs said:
Again, no he doesn't. Also, I am wondering if you had any further thoughts on this which I posted last week. If we want to have some real discussion:tempo_n_groove said:
Positive post right here. Constructive criticism too, well done.rgambs said:You guys are fucking idiots if you think making light of this issue is ok when there are still bodies waiting to be buried.
It's all a big joke to you, hehe haha hoho, I shoot my bang bang hehe.
Grow up and get a fucking life.
The man does have a point though.
Why no on the national registry? Are you concerned that the registry will some day be used to identify everyone who has guns and then they can take them because they know you have them? If that's the mindset, what does it matter if they know for sure? You'll either be using them to defend yourself if you think it's some sort of government coup or what, everyone who owns a gun will be targeted so agents on behalf of the government will be sent to seize their stockpile?tempo_n_groove said:
No. Reason being I am not a fan of the government telling me/you what we can and can't do.tbergs said:
What's your middle ground? Where are you willing to meet those seeking more stringent ownership, policy or laws? So we ban bump stocks, big whoop, doesn't change every other gun related murder or mean that they still aren't available through different means. You want 17 guns, someone against guns thinks that's overkill and wants 1. You wouldn't be willing to meet at 10 or less?tempo_n_groove said:
Also not a fan of taking any rights away. Once they are gone it's nearly impossible to get them back. For this instance I'm sure you'd be fine with that but I'm not.
Background checks? Sure.
National registration? No.
Gun training mandatory? Sure.
By the way, what does one do with 17 guns upon their death? Will them away? My dad probably has over 50 guns and a stockpile of ammo that I have no idea what I'm going to do with when he dies because I don't want them, but I also don't want them redistributed to people who may use them for harm. I get the gun culture to a degree because I grew up in it, but I don't because it seems paranoid for the excessive ownership.0 -

Seriously, it’s not like one of us said that we were glad to see a bunch of county music loving Trump supporters get gunned down...Only leftist eccentric news reporters say dumb shit like that...or this person:mcgruff10 said:

Would you stand by your conduct today if you knew one of the 500 people who were shot last week were reading this? What about the family of one of the 59 people who died?mcgruff10 said:

You wouldn't be ashamed to have made your little wannabe cute and wannabe clever quips?
Did you do the same a week after 9/11? I doubt it.

Mcgruff! Stop melting the snowflakes!!!0

Yeah, I got "triggered".
Shit happens.
For the record, I know someone who was shot last week. I just found out last night. Only a friend of a friend, and she's going to make a full recovery.
I'm sure she would think your little gun/knife fun with words was just brilliant and oh so cute.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
Again, I would never disrespect anybody who died or got hurt in last week's shooting nor do I think my sarcastic remarks about banning knives in England correlated at all to what happened in Las Vegas, Nevada. Would I make a joke about banning knives in England in front of people who were shot last week in Las Vegas...um I guess. (although I fail to see how that would be brought up in conversation)rgambs said:

Hahaha, and there you have it. I wonder how many of them are gun owners that defend the right to own guns. You disrespect them by automatically thinking that they align with your beliefs.pjhawks said:

Why, did they have a beer so they could commit a DUI? A gun is picked up and used for killing. A beer can be a factor in why someone died or was killed. Not the same.mcgruff10 said:

no. everyone who defends drunk driving disrespects those who died in a dui. But no one defends that behavior because that is normal intelligent thought to not defend that behavior. i guess intelligent thought is a bit too much to ask of gun owners though.mcgruff10 said:
