  • I can see the NRA’s “for immediate release” fund raising email blast now, “Don’t let those homosexual, liberal elites with their sinner ways take your guns and god given rights away! Donate $3, $5, $25, $100 or $10,000 rubles now! Stop the sickos!”

    Look at Wal-Mart doing the right thing .....


    This is indeed some good news!

    Walmart will stop selling handguns and prohibit open carry at its stores -https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/09/03/status-quo-is-unacceptable-walmart-will-stop-selling-some-ammunition-exit-handgun-market/

    And Kroger....
    More good news!  And I just read they stopped selling guns a year ago. I didn’t know they sold guns.... I thought they were a traditional grocery chain. 
    I’m hoping for a big chain reaction being set off🤞 
    they own a bunch of stuff...

    My immediate gut reaction was, WOW!  Right on!

    But then I mentioned the story to my wife, arguable a more rational person than I am at times, who pointed out that this will only serve to alienate the opposing sides, do little to change the NRA's policies (and, in fact, probably lead them to dig in their heels further), and cause a general guffawing at San Francisco yet again for being a bunch of weirdos.  So if she is right, that gets us no closer to a sensible resolution.  What a mess.

    I think buying guns with the intent to resell them is illegal. now I don’t know how to prove intent when the guy can just claim he changed his mind, but in theory I believe that example would be illegal. I suppose if it was a large amount of guns, and not just 1 or 2, it would be easier to prove.

    Can't do this in my state. We got rid of private transfers with no documentation or background check. Every private sale/transfer goes through an FFL just like a new firearm purchase does, with the standard forms and background check. It effectively closed the gun show loophole. Not sure why the loophole is allowed to exist. Documenting private sales doesn't take away anyone's rights. It just puts the standard protections on everyone. There's no reason to oppose it except by people who are interested in providing weapons to those who shouldn't have them.

    I agree. I actually didn’t even know what the gun-show Loop hole was until I moved out of California a few years ago. Buying a used firearm from a private party can be more expensive than buying a new gun with all the extra required paperwork. Which, honestly, if we wanted less guns shouldn’t we make it easier to buy a used one? Can still require the background check and paperwork.

    Federally,  it's illegal to buy or and sell without registering if it's your principle source of income.  Unfortunately the law is so vague that "collectors" are basically in the loophole.

    U.S.

    Poll: Majority Backs Banning Assault-Style Rifles, Opposes Federal Gun-Confiscation Program

    National Review

    A majority of Americans supports banning the future sale of assault-style rifles but is against a federal gun-confiscation program that would force current owners to forfeit such weapons, according to a new Monmouth University poll.

    About 56 percent of respondents in the Monmouth poll supported banning assault-style weapons, while 38 percent opposed it. Only 43 percent of respondents supported a “mandatory buyback program,” in which the federal government would confiscate such weapons from current owners, while 53 percent of respondents opposed such a program.

    “An assault weapons sales ban has majority support but there are deep pockets of opposition among gun-owning Americans,” said poll director Patrick Murray. “There is even greater opposition to programs that would try to take these weapons out of the hands of people who already own them.”

    Other gun-control measures tested in the poll garnered more significant bipartisan support. 83 percent of those polled said they support comprehensive background checks for gun purchases. About 75 percent of respondents, including 59 percent of those who are NRA members, said they support “red-flag laws,” which allow those close to an individual, such as family members, to petition a court to temporarily restrict the individual’s access to firearms if they believe the he poses a threat of violence. 62 percent also said they support establishing a national gun registry, a database of all guns in the U.S.

    The poll of 800 American adults was conducted by telephone between August 16 and August 20, several weeks after a gunman opened fire in an El Paso, Texas Walmart, killing 22, and another shooter opened fire a day later in Dayton, Ohio, killing 10

    It's so stupid.  I have gotten into a few arguments against gun nuts that didn't even own guns.  

    The % of the population that would be affected by an assault rifle ban and/or gun registration is unbelievably small.  It's become a red-team issue to oppose it.

    Nothing wrong with utilizing your god given right to own a gun.

    And of course your god given right to threaten the lives of others with that god given gun.

    We've been having a nice chat in the Dem candidate topic. An interesting little tidbit about 2A,

    "...there is one singular problem with the Second Amendment: It is grammatically incorrect and, as a result, nonsensical.

    ...secretary of state under George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, the best scribe among the Founding Fathers and possibly the best educated, was appalled at the grammar of the Second Amendment. He attempted to correct its grammatical mistakes—specifically, 
    misplaced commas—but the text of the proposed amendment, along with the other nine amendments that would come to be known as the Bill of Rights, had already been sent out to the states for ratification, so it was too late."

    Poll: Majority Backs Banning Assault-Style Rifles, Opposes Federal Gun-Confiscation Program

    National Review

    A majority of Americans supports banning the future sale of assault-style rifles but is against a federal gun-confiscation program that would force current owners to forfeit such weapons, according to a new Monmouth University poll.

    About 56 percent of respondents in the Monmouth poll supported banning assault-style weapons, while 38 percent opposed it. Only 43 percent of respondents supported a “mandatory buyback program,” in which the federal government would confiscate such weapons from current owners, while 53 percent of respondents opposed such a program.

    “An assault weapons sales ban has majority support but there are deep pockets of opposition among gun-owning Americans,” said poll director Patrick Murray. “There is even greater opposition to programs that would try to take these weapons out of the hands of people who already own them.”

    Other gun-control measures tested in the poll garnered more significant bipartisan support. 83 percent of those polled said they support comprehensive background checks for gun purchases. About 75 percent of respondents, including 59 percent of those who are NRA members, said they support “red-flag laws,” which allow those close to an individual, such as family members, to petition a court to temporarily restrict the individual’s access to firearms if they believe the he poses a threat of violence. 62 percent also said they support establishing a national gun registry, a database of all guns in the U.S.

    The poll of 800 American adults was conducted by telephone between August 16 and August 20, several weeks after a gunman opened fire in an El Paso, Texas Walmart, killing 22, and another shooter opened fire a day later in Dayton, Ohio, killing 10

    Yes ban those damn weapons and let the other s who already own them keep them but but when they go to purchase ammo for them they can only buy if they pass a background check ! No background check no ammo period !

    Conservative logic:

    You'll never be able to confiscate all 10 million AR-15s!  It's impossible!

    Also: Let's round up and deport all 10 million unauthorized immigrants living in the USA!
