Looks like the Trump thread is going to have a 2nd amendment debate.

Might as well start fresh.

No debate.  Enforce the current laws.  Have a national registry.
Posted by Self-Banished on Feb. 16 2019,7:02 pm
There is no law that forces a national registry.
All firearms stores are compelled to do a background check on gun sales, all buyers must fill out form 4473. An FBI instant check will yield a “proceed” or “delay”. Firearms stores are require to keep a bound book of all guns entering and leaving the store.

Gun control laws need to be repealed at the local, state and federal level.
NO! To national registry.

so, just keep letting people who should not have weapons have them to kill innocent people?

Tell that to the families who just had their loved ones killed while at work.

Placing undo burdens and infringements upon an enumerated negative right upon 99.9% of the population for the .1% who have decided to abuse said right isn't about safety, it's about control and regulating an enumerated right into a privilege.  A right delayed is a right denied.

Very nice to live in the county I do.

I went in to renew my permit and because I did it 30 days early I got a $50 discount. :thumbsup:

I asked how this discount came about and was told the sheriff lowered it because of “excessive revenue”

We need more politicians like him.

^^You may have posted something about this....

Remington is being sued over how it marketed the Bushmaster rifle used to kill 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012..

I'm not sure I want or need a plastic and pot metal short barreled rifle but if I was going to buy it'd be now...

When you sue the manufacture the price of the product will increase.
If this sets a precedent smaller manufactures will go under...

Posted by Self-Banished on Mar. 17 2019,1:08 pm
^^ so we should sue automobile manufacturers for drunk driving deaths?
I agree with the smaller manufacturers

Wether it's made of 7075 aluminum or the fine steel of a M1A, it doesn't matter, the person behind the weapon did the crime. I hope Remington appeals this though they have been a bit off the last decade or so.

In that case, then we all can blame a few democrat politicians for the same rise of violence on the left and when illegal aliens kill an American citizen.

All in all, the blame lies solely on those who perpetuate such acts, they alone decided to act.  Quit blaming others for the action of an individual(s).

Just as there are videos of other politicians spewing their rhetoric.
When one of their base takes upon themselves to act on said rhetoric, blame those who act on it.  Blaming a party and the rhetoric being spewed is lazy and can kicking.  Everyone needs a boogieman, I get it.  Emotionally driven people looking for a source to blame are not thinking logically.

Sigh.
Pics like the one posted is a perfect example of taking the media at it's word without any further research.  Since the media loves to push a narrative and in this case an anti 2nd Amendment one; they just love to lie about this one.
The pictograph isn't telling the whole story, and I've repeatedly debunked it over and over on this site.

The obama admin decided to throw in those who receive social security benefits and had help with their finances through a fiduciary or other financial groups as being mentally deficient.  Asking for help with finances isn't a mental health issue, even the liberal ACLU was against it.
So again the media is lying.
I shouldn't have to do your homework.

Posted by Expatriate on Aug. 14 2019,7:44 am
^^it's more complicated, first I don't believe anyone who receives SSD because of a mental disorder should have the ability to purchase.
If your mental disorder disqualifies you from work and you receive Social Security Disability payments your impairment should also disqualify you from firearms purchase...

The list of impairments included depression, anxiety, neurocognitive disorders...some of the very things trump says caused these mass shootings

My views are opposed by both the ACLU and the NRA...it seems Trump, I and Obama agree...nuts shouldn't have guns.

The correct course of action is to have those people adjudicated mentally deficient.  To do so without due process is unconstitutional.

Just as you pointed out with Trumps tweet as to why red flag laws shouldn't be allowed to stand anywhere in the US.

I find Chris Cuomo to be douche, but being a douche and getting uppity in a video shouldn't be grounds to deny his 2nd Amendment.
Trump ironically proves as to why red flag laws are ripe for abuse.

The 94 AWB?  It had little to no effect.  Basically it was an abject failure.
The other issue is there is no such firearm classification as an "assault weapon" it's a completely made up word salad.
Really, a buy back?  How can the govt buy back something it never owned to begin with?  As with any buy back, the only thing getting turned in for cash is junk.

My chosen candidate Tulsi Gabbard was eliminated from the debates even though she had more individual contributors than some that were allowed to debate. She was the most google searched from the first two debates but didn't make the DNC's polling criteria.

As to Gun Laws, here in Minnesota if you want to buy a pistol or semiautomatic rifle you need to get permit from the local Police/Sheriffs Dept, as well as pass the NICS FBI background at the time of purchase.

I don't consider this to be a big hassle or unconstitutional. I could agree to this becoming Federal law.

I'm going to have to admit some of these Democrat Candidates have gone crazy on gun issues. Sanders seems to be the most reasonable of those left.

I can't win, the Republican are after my Social Security and Medicare the Democrats want my guns.

If I was trustworthy enough to carry an M-14 an M-16 in the Military I should be trustworthy enough to own the civilian equivalent of those rifles if I want.

Unless it has changed over the years since I last lived in MN.  One only needed a stupid permit when buying a handgun from an FFL.  Rifles and shottys didn't require one.

I'm also not a big fan of requiring a person to get a permit to exercise an enumerated negative right, then expected to also undergo an NICS on top of that.  NO, just NO.
The 2nd is a right just as the other individual rights laid out in the Bill of Rights.

Requiring a prerequisite to be met before one can exercise any enumerated negative right is treating said right as a privilege, I would also be against such schemes if it was against the 1st Amendment.

There is one I would probably go along with that a buddy of mine thought up.  His idea was to use drivers license or govt issued IDs.  Tie in a person's background to the drivers license, and when said person was buying a firearm, the FFL dealer would swipe the drivers license and get matched against the same NICS database one uses to fill out now on the 4473.
Since most people get their DLs before the age of 18, the background check could be done at that time and the same thing when renewing ones DL.  Over the course of in between renewals background data could be updated to said person's background, just as it is suppose to be when filling out 4473.  Now since most states are suppose to comply with that Real ID law, this could work much better than the patch work of crappy schemes at the state level.

As to the current crop of fascists running on the dem side, I would agree Tulsi is the better more reasoned of the gang.

^^They already take the number off your drivers license for the form you fill out for the NICS FBI background.

The police also request a copy of you license when you turn in your paperwork for the permit to purchase or permit to carry.

Yeah they got a little more strict on the purchase of semiautomatic rifles like the AR or AK it's the same permit as a pistol now. it's still good for a year and you can purchase either or both whatever you want for a year. No cost for the permit.
If you go the permit to carry route you can use that to purchase and it's good for five years. But then you have to spend $70 for the class and another $100 when you file your paperwork at the Sheriff's Office.

They also passed some Saturday Night Special Law that bans certain cheap end handguns from sale in Minnesota.  

Gabbard was also pushing a ban but on her bill we'd be grandfathered in, some of these other politicians are talking confiscation.

At any rate we've been Lucky in Minnesota we haven't had the rash of mass shootings the rest of the country has had IF these laws in Minnesota help it's not a big price to pay.

The idea would do away with bgc all together when purchasing from a FFL dealer, since it's all been done at the back end.  Walk in, pick out firearm, FFL dealer swipes the DL at the till, few seconds later info pops up on the screen and displays a "GO" or "NO GO" sale.  If a "GO" sale pops up, customer pays, and goes home.

Well that sucks MN went that route.  Where I live, I walk into LGS, pick out firearm, do the stupid bgc stuff, pay and walk out.  
Hell don't even need a permit to open carry, only need a stupid permit to conceal carry.  This is much preferable than what MN does.

I understand what you're saying about the convenience of using a driver's license as a qualified identification for purchase.
I could see Firearms Purchase as a separate endorsement like CDL or Motorcycle.
I understand we'll soon need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license to travel or fly anyway. The real ID must have some sort of background research capability..

I think getting a permit, taking the class and test, doing the range test proving you can handle the weapon, you can fire on target and not shoot yourself or a bystander is a good thing.

^^ there’s rather cheap insurance for this situation and if you choose to carry and don’t have insurance then like you, you’re a dumbass. Mine costs me less than $200 a year for me and Mrs. SB. As far as jail time? As the old saying goes “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6”

Minnesota requires classes and there are a myriad of instructors, from dopes that have no clue but manage to get the certification to what I used, an ex law enforcement guy turned security expert.

What are you talking about, hillbillies? You live in the middle of that land :blush:

Posted by Expatriate on Nov. 01 2019,8:18 am
Insurance may help but still not cover the total cost...not to downplay your suggestion but insurance can vary greatly, you don't know what you have till you use it...

Even the NRAs insurance program is having financial problems..

Not that I'm knocking i t ( ins ) we live in Minnesota, we don't even have a Castle Doctrine

QUOTE
Minnesota isn't a stand your ground state. Rather, it's a duty to retreat state which means that you must back away from confrontation if it's possible. The state doesn't have a castle law per se, but it does recognize the principles of the doctrine because Minnesota law allows you to use deadly force, including shooting an intruder, to prevent a felony from occurring in your home.

^^ an umbrella coverage for 1 to 1.5 million can be had for as little as $25 per month.

Yes, we should have a castle law, also be like Texas, being able to shoot a criminal in the act of committing a felony. :notworthy:

^^yeah, they're going crazy...we've got a few gun shops down here, A&R a local shop has website tied to a major dealer, I looked on there the other day for 9 mm ammo, they had some shot shell left that was it.

I have several military type ammo cans the 50 cal style that I keep in my gun safe, I control the humidity in the safe but I also keep Silica packets in the ammo cans.

I'm terrible at rotation, I've got some thirty year old ammo, looks good, fires fine, most of it is less than year or two old.

I only buy when it's on sale, I doubt we'll see a sale for some time.

two of my main investments are in silver and brass....I also invested in a nice recoil pad for my 12 gauge...but thanks for your concern..

Posted by Self-Banished on Apr. 14 2020,7:32 am
^^ I guess on some things we’re not too far apart.

If you’re into 9mm try a Ruger PC carbine, decent price (least it was) takes Ruger pistol mags also Glock :rockon:  and is just plain fun to shoot.

Ammo? With me it’s been for many years, buy it cheap, stack it deep. :D

Didn't watch your entire Youtube..so if I have my facts wrong cut me some slack.

Is this from 2017? essentially unarmed teenagers? was there really a need to kill them?

Teenagers are dumb, but a round fired into the floor or ceiling, a warning shot may have been enough.

I keep a loaded revolver in my house, it's in one of those Personal Handgun Safes, it's bolted to my nightstand.

The reason I chose a revolver you can leave those loaded forever, if you choose a semi-auto leaving a fully loaded mag long-term messes with that spring tension and makes the weapon prone to jam.

If a simi-auto is all you have DON'T load the mag to full capacity and leave it longterm, rotating mags and partial loading will make it more reliable.

I used to work with this guy years ago, decent guy, kinda  an ass clown though. They never charged him. A single shot 22 for defense? I guess if that’s all you have, that’s what you use.

< https://www.startribune.com/coon-ra....1555931 >

The second subject in that article just goes to prove “do the damned dishes”

The great magazine debate :p I’ve personally kept mags loaded for years, never once had a problem. The semi I keep in my personal vehicle is always fulling loaded, every so often I take it out for range day. Mostly it depends on the quality, factory mags usually do better.

Ruger has too many pieces? Not really but then I build guns, playing with 80% receivers now.

Posted by Expatriate on Apr. 16 2020,1:03 pm
^^We're in a gray area here, we've had this discussion before but there's a lot of new gun owners out there now.

First, Minnesota doesn't have a Castle Law, can you shoot someone who breaks into your house ( gray area ) yes and no, said person is committing a crime, is your life in danger, did you dial 911, did you retreat, well maybe, but it's still up to the City or County Attorney depending on where you live if you're charged.

My opinion: dial 911 put that phone on speak so that operator can hear what's happening, warn the intruder you are armed the police are on the way, make sure it's loud enough that 911 dispatcher can hear, she/he is the best witness you can have if this goes to trial.

In Minnesota it's your duty to retreat, fire a warning shot and move back to your next sheltered firing position, Shout commands at the intruder the next shot will count if he approaches, remember that 911 operator is recording this whole episode.

Best outcome here the intruder runs. — Do not shoot him in the back if he's retreating you will go to jail...

If things go south you need a lawyer, lay the gun down, turn on the lights, be polite to the cops when they question you, just tell him your name, it's your home and self-defense it's a burglary and you need a lawyer present before answering anymore questions.

No bueno on warning shots.
On the matter of a warning shot not posing “a substantial risk of injury or death,” in a dynamic, rapidly unfolding, high-stress, deadly-threat situation there is not time to survey the area and wonder, “What is in my immediate area that I can shoot (‘a defined target’ as stated by the consensus policy) which will not cause any injury?”

Recall that the second basic rule of firearms handling is “never point a gun at anything you are unwilling to lose forever” so that eliminates a whole host of environmental targets — actually, that takes away all of them.

So, that gives us the ground and the sky. A shot fired directly into the ground has a high probability of sending bullet fragments in all sorts of directions (including your ankles), and a bullet fired into the air will eventually return to earth, either at terminal velocity or with the refiling spin intact and at a much higher rate of speed.

Warning shots also fly in the face of another basic tenant: You are responsible for every round you shoot.

The only warning shot you should provide is a verbal,  "Stop or I will shoot"

As for the 3 teens.  They forfeited any notion of right to life by entering an occupied unknown dwelling as well as infringements upon the homeowner.
The homeowner was outnumbered which in of itself is a threat and greater chance of bodily harm.  They being teenagers is irrelevant, they chose their course of action of their own free will.

It is also a myth on loaded magazines for an extended period of time.  What weakens the spring is the constant compact/expand.

Nothing backwards about castle doctrine.  Castle doctrine is in line with the intent and tenets of the 2nd Amendment.  
Not my fault MN is backwards in regards to protection of self and property.  Then again it isn't surprising seeing as how MN is a nanny state and doesn't trust its citizens to protect themselves and require them to run away.  Some freedom you got there.
From my point of view what I posted is all legal in La. and nothing dangerous at all.
An unarmed assailant is still as much as a threat as an armed assailant.

Posted by Expatriate on Apr. 16 2020,6:14 pm
^^Minnesota's laws are a tad more stringent, but if you know them you can carry or defend your home while remaining legal.

On the warning shot you make a valid point, but I don't use 556/223 for home defense. I'd rather shoot a hole in the floor and kill my furnace than some dumb teenager.

Posted by Botto 82 on Apr. 17 2020,4:20 am
I was raised to believe that if you break into someone's home, you get what you get, the worst possible case there would be getting dead. It's not my fault that parenting has fallen off to such a ridiculously low level that people now think that there would be some justification for terrorizing someone by showing up unannounced in their space.

We are already down the rabbit hole with regard to being stripped of our First Amendment rights, namely the freedom to assemble. How long before these control freak loons on the Left start working on Second Amendment rights?

The Youtube title is a bit misleading.
The Floyd family is asking the UN to provide recommendations.
QUOTE
George Floyd’s family and his legal team released on Monday a letter they sent to the United Nations requesting recommendations for police reform in the U.S.

The group sent a letter on June 3 to one of the international body’s working groups asking for support for the end of the provision of military equipment and military-type training for police, the teaching of deescalation techniques, independent prosecutions and autopsies for “extrajudicial” police killings, and more.


The UN can recommend all they want, however the US can just give them the finger and nothing can be done about it.  
It is the US that is going to have to figure this out as this is our cross to bear.  Treaties or agreements with the UN cannot and DO NOT over ride the US Constitution or any of the articles therein.

2nd Amendment rights have already been unconstitutionally curtailed and regaled to an un-favored enumerated negative right to that of a privilege.
A 6-3 majority in the SCotUS doesn't mean anything if they keep denying cert on challenges to unconstitutional firearm laws.
With threats of "mandatory buy-backs" (read: confiscation), illegal administrative redefining of what constitutes a "machine gun" the threat to further damage 2nd Amendment rights is very real.

As to the ammo shortage, 7+ million new firearm owners have put a further strain on supply, ammo manufacturers just cannot keep up with demand, and thus the price goes up when ammo becomes available.
The same with powder/primers/bullets.  Unprocessed brass is still plentiful.

Easy, just don't comply with an unconstitutional law if hr 127 were able to make it and become law.
If competency and literacy tests along with a poll tax were found unconstitutional for the positive right to vote, I don't see how this would pass constitutional muster with an even higher bar of a negative right such as the 2nd Amendment, even if intermediate scrutiny were applied hr 127 still fails constitutional muster.

Well the banning of pot just made it the most readily available commodity in the country. A liquor store actually closes part of the day. Pot sales are '24/7' as the kids used to say.

To be honest, not a fan of the whole permit fiasco and asking permission to exercise an enumerated right or treat a negative right as a positive right.

Interestingly enough, police range time/proficiency is almost nil when qualifying and yet require everybody else to jump through hoops just to carry.  
The whole thing is a joke.

Here in La. you can open carry all day long, but if you want to conceal you have to get a permit.  
I too have seen my fair share of morons at the range and surprisingly enough those idiots tend to be those "professional ones" police and military.
And proficiency-wise from those in law enforcement well, suck, in either stationary or moving targets and that is at 10 to 20 yrds, at long distance shooting, they are even worse.

So when I hear those fateful words "only the police and military should have guns" those people have no clue what they are talking about and should be dismissed entirely.

Gun control is dead, while this POS bill may pass the house it will die in the senate.  Taxing people on background checks is only going to drive up the cost of firearms which will ultimately harm the poorer people, then to add insult to injury and further victim blame, making a person a criminal for their firearm(s) being stolen.

This is just another double taxation scheme and unconstitutional.
The best bet is to repeal the NICS, the whole BGC is unconstitutional.

Well a firearm is a tool.  It's better to have a firearm on hand than being on the phone with 911.  
I've also noticed that people who don't want to take responsibility for their own safety will always denigrate those who do and try to pigeon hole it as 'unhip or uncool' as some sort of moralistic uppity holier than thou attitude.

no that's why you need a gun.

1) the entirety of that 'proposal' seems extreme and over the top.  

2) does it have a  chance of being passed?

3) even if it doesn't pass, and it won't, Marty gets to look good as a hard on guns guy. And people that need to look very pro gun will look good as well. call that the pro wrestling aspect of politics.

it's like on FOX NEWS when they bring up Bernie Sanders proposals and get the viewers in a tizzy. it's not like those things are going to get anywhere.

2) who are these middleman wanna be NRA people anyway? just what the world needs more consultants.

maybe that why Waltz isn't responding because: he's probably had to kowtow to the NRA his entire life as a politician and doesn't feel like giving the 500 member You Tubers more status then they deserve.


3) bet Cabellas and all the other outdoors related commerce in  the state doesn't like Marty's proposal. hah

gotta admit though: having a license of some sort, replete with a skills requirement would be nice. so when people want to whip out the guns in population dense areas, the shooters can just shoot each other and not everything but that. hah

also think all these people who want to run out and get conceal permits. it's good for the folks who make money off of them, that's about it.

You’re one of those people that think the 2nd amendment is about hunting? I suppose you are, seems most idle minded twits (Gropey Joe) think that

Here, let’s refresh that close-minded thinking of yours, you’ll notice there’s a comma in there, realize it dipshit.

“A well regulated militia(well regulated meaning prepared and supplied) being necessary for the security of a free state (here it comes now, the “kicker”), (note the comma) the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

It’s morons such as yourself that are are intellectually lazy or misguided (I’m thinking a bit of both in your case) as to the 2nd.

think it's interesting how you deride my hunting comment.

yet somehow stylish coutre like gun accoutrements are so much more on point and representative of accurate Constitutional interpretation.

seems like from what you've been showing us here: the victim role has been adopted by the so called Constitutional defenders as well.

also was seeing the claim that your real or imagined and made up persecutors employ some type of 'virtue' signaling. real popular term on the internet.

but from personal observation. reading the online arguing over quite a long. from several different online venues: see similar signaling from punky gun proponents as well.

you like to bait people who don't like guns. apparently it is part of being in the punky gun advocate club. and again, more often than not it is predicated on being persecuted.

easy to follow example might be Ted Nugent. when you hear him talk he always seems to tell us how people don't like what he does. he's persecuted.

would say that to a degree this entire thread is a form of both things: the baiting and the being the victim.

point of all this is:

think it's easy to latch on to the cliff notes version of The United States Magna Carta (Constitution), specifically the Second Amendment, and sell snake oil in front of it.

got nothing against guns. have had people from outside the United States tell me we need to get rid of our guns. told them. .  no we don't. . then direct them to The United States Constitution.

couldn't care less if victimized ol' Ted Nugget hunts. he needs to come to Southern South Central Minnesota and clear out some of the deer. carcasses every hundred feet on the interstates.

so signal away. tell us all about your SIG Sauer , quote Ayn Rand, doesn't bother me.

good luck!

WHAT DOES KAREN MEAN?

Karen is a pejorative slang term for an obnoxious, angry, entitled, and often racist middle-aged white woman who uses her privilege to get her way or police other people’s behaviors.

As featured in memes, Karen is generally stereotyped as having a blonde bob haircut, asking to speak to retail and restaurant managers to voice complaints or make demands, and being an anti-vaxx , Generation X soccer mom.

In 2020, Karen spread as a label used to call out white women who were captured in viral videos engaging in what are widely seen as racist acts.

If someone feels the need to own a gun then they should be able to own a gun as long as they follow the rules, don’t have a violent history, are mentally stable and take and pass safety classes.

There should be a country wide data base that all sellers can use to verify the buyer is eligible to purchase the gun (background check, completion of classes, etc.)

All in all this shouldn’t be as big of an arguing point in America that it has become.  The groups who only want to divide us are the ones pushing both extremes.  

Stop the nonsense.  No rational person or anyone who can truly make the decision  is “coming for your guns”.  And again no rational person or anyone who can truly make the decision is calling for any person to get any type of weaponry they want.

Sadly far too many people allow themselves to get tricked into believing the extreme narrative on both sides for near every topic is what the majority want and are going to get

Unless us rational majority stop playing their game of divide and conquer and stop believing and spreading their lies we all have lost

So.. In order to exercise a negative enumerated right a person should take and pass a test?  I don't think negative rights work that way and would make it a privilege.

A database, you mean the NICS that the FBI uses when a person buys a firearm from an FFL?  Hmm, I think there was this unconstitutional law passed back in the 90's called the brady bill.  Imagine a process in which turns due process on it's head and compels a person to testify against the themselves just to exercise an enumerated right.

Well considering there have been politicians and candidates that have espoused a desire to "come for the guns" but you are right they aren't rational.

The only side that is irrational in this whole issue are the anti gun quacks and their quack factory organizations.  If you wanna see unhinged look no further than karens demand action, everyclown, brady bunch anti gun orgs.

Good post GD, yes it seems someone hasn’t done a lick of research, all the Karen would have to research is form 4473.

It’s terrible when knee jerk Assclowns spew misinformation.

Posted by was1 on Apr. 03 2022,10:33 am
Well as should be obvious from my post I’m not a gun owner.  I don’t hunt and I’m not scared of society nor that the “big bad government” is going to oppress me, even though it has to many people throughout its short history, but that’s a whole different topic.

Read the about the form SB mentioned. Thanks for pointing that out. (See that’s how a discussion and sharing of ideas/beliefs should work on this site)

With guns do you really believe anyone, no matter their situation, should be allowed to own one (or many)?  Do you believe there should be no age limit?  Should people who have documented sever mental health issues have guns?   Should violent criminals?  There are a lot of things that should be thought of as common sense with this but far too many just want to shout “my rights”

Same ones shouting that also want to ignore other rights in the Bill of Rights when they don’t fit their view point (freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom to assemble, other “persona freedoms” like the right to chose, all get lost in the arguments)

There are also politicians who believe
- Israel causes our forest fires with lasers
- the Republican Party leaders have coke fueled sex parties
- we should be on Putins side
- you can’t decide your sexuality until you are 21
The list of dumb things individual politicians is endless

Sad that GD only sees this as one way, his.  No middle ground.  No exceptions.

Is there really no need for any regulation at all regarding this right?

Hey, if you don’t want to own a gun that’s ok, just don’t bitch about others exercise their RIGHT. and this the very essence of our right, that of self protection. Crime is rampant now in the bigger cities but it’s moving to the suburbs and rural. Who the f”ck are you to say I can’t defend myself?

I can just about guess what you’ll blabber next, the cops will protect you. It seems that the cops are being phased out by the left, Minneapolis has violence intervention teams, how dumb is that?

< https://www2.minneapolismn.gov/governm....iatives >

The cops response time now is abysmal

< https://www.startribune.com/respons....6758713 >

This most likely since their numbers have reduced from an authorized 800+ to around 280, north side average strength from 4pm to 4am is about 7-8 cops now. ( this I know because I work in North Minneapolis and talk to cops now and then about breakins.

And this all comes from pedocratic leadership

The 4473 form I mentioned? Meant for pantywaists like you so you feel better, total obstructions of rights. Who gets to decide who is allowed to own a gun and who is not.
Hopefully, not assclowns like the poster I quote.

Israel causes forest fires with lasers? :crazy:

Posted by was1 on Apr. 03 2022,12:13 pm
Where did I compline about it??
Where did I say you could defend yourself?

Much of the violence and other police calls comes about due to mental health issues.  Communities should be ADDING resources to help the police respond and deal with such situations.  NOT taking money away from, or reducing the number of, police officers.  

Rising response times are inexcusable and as your article shows, sadly has been going on for years.

So again, there should be no requirements at all to owning a gun?  Do you honestly believe that?  That there at a minimum shouldn’t be a training requirement?  Do you really want to be out and about with unstable and in trained people with guns?

And yes there are current sitting member in the US congress who have said our wild fires are caused by Israel shooting space lasers at us.

Why is it so difficult for you to have a conversation sans insults and name calling. And out right lying about someone posted even when you quote the post?

Is there really no need for any regulation at all regarding this right?

Christ on a noodle pogo stick, you are just all over the place complete with red herrings and strawman arguments.

The sole purpose of a negative right is the exercise thereof without infringement as these rights are natural rights as in they have existed well before established govts and the rule of man.
The Bill of Rights is a mixture of negative and positive rights, the first two are obviously negative rights which is why their importance was deliberately placed first.

Q: Do I think that anyone should be (your word) "allowed" no matter their situation to own one or many?
A: Yes.  The 2nd Amendment clearly enumerates "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"  Firearms falls under the descriptor of arms.  Being "allowed" is an infringement as it dictates that one must need permission to exercise a right that is by default a natural right.  Gun control laws are based on the premise of being "allowed" and targeted towards minority groups and people of lesser means.  Gun control laws by their very nature are racist and classicist.
Think for a moment and determine, would you apply the same unconstitutional firearm laws that infringe upon the 2nd Amendment and apply those to any of the 1st Amendment enumerations?  

Q: Do I believe there should be no age limit?
A: No there shouldn't be an age limit, age does not necessarily indicate wisdom or logical thinking.  A natural right is bestowed the moment they are born.  It is through up bringing and instruction that hones a person's responsibility in exercising their rights.

Q: Should people who have documented severe mental health issues have guns?
A: Depends, not all mental health issues are a danger to themselves or others, why would you deny a person's right to own a tool that would aid in their defense.  So called "mental health"  people have been targets of attacks because people suck and think emotionally instead of logically.
If someone is a danger to themselves and or others then it is up to the courts to adjudicate said person as a prohibited person.  One size fits all laws are not the answer in regards to "mental health" issues.

Q: Should violent criminals?
A: If a criminal is so violent then why release that person from prison?
The fact of the matter is that a person no matter their past still has the right to self defense and that also includes access to the same very tools available in modern society.  Sure the courts can adjudicate a person as prohibited to buy, possess or have access to firearms which said rulings are backed by legislative passed laws, but in all reality they are just words on paper as time and time again has been shown releasing violent criminals back into society have detrimental effects as they slip back into their old norms and no gun control law is going to stop that.  Full stop.

Don’t think I was all over as I was following along and responding to SB post.

We will have to agree to disagree. The world has changed greatly in the last 230 years.  With that change comes potential need to reevaluate things.  Based on your answers you have no problem with say a 6 year old having a handgun.

I also agree that not all mental health is the same

We all know our criminal justice system is broken and people get out of jail when they shouldn’t.  And a criminal will get a gun regardless of any laws that are passed.  Is a possible hinderance to their obtaining guns some type of gun control/registry system?  Again, not trying to take peoples gun or rights away but people with guns have taken a lot of people rights away from them

While the world has changed, the hearts and minds of man have not.  This applies not only to the individual but to govt as well..
Natural rights are timeless they apply the same today.  Self defense is a natural right, access to tools that aid in self defense is a given and understood as part of that natural right.

I don't have a problem with a 6yr old having a handgun/pistol/side arm/rifle/shotgun.  A 6yr old can be just as competent in being safe and in firing a firearm as an adult, it boils down to education/instruction/training and recognizing the maturity level of each child and adjusting from there.  There are youth 3 gun competitions and many of them start very young.

Gun control and or registries don't work and can never provide a level of safety.  Registered firearms can NEVER prevent their misuse, the sole purpose of a registry is about eventual confiscation, period.
Gun control hinders the majority of the people who go about their day and puts up road blocks to access tools they need to defend themselves.  Criminals get their firearms via theft, very seldom is it due to straw-purchasing or private sales.
The problem isn't the right itself or the access to firearms, the problem lays at the feet of our elected officials going the lazy route instead of doing the hard long road of dealing with crime.  Limiting rights only hurts the public and emboldens the criminal.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Comes down to training and responsibilities.  But if there is no requirement for either than we have what we have now, untrained people with deadly weapons.

100% agree on crime and not dealing with it

We need more judges to get crimes prosecuted and tried much more quickly.  
And sadly we probably need more jails so criminals are not released early because they need their spot for someone new

Biggest problem is our elected “leaders” are too busy name calling and stopping anything the “other side” proposes, no matter what it is.  It’s not about doing what is right and best for the good of all it’s all about “me” and “my funders”.

Biggest problem is our elected “leaders” are too busy name calling and stopping anything the “other side” proposes, no matter what it is.  It’s not about doing what is right and best for the good of all it’s all about “me” and “my funders”.

You keep getting hung up on "untrained people with deadly weapons."
A firearm isn't all that difficult to use, its a pretty basic point and click type apparatus.  Any person with a modicum level of intelligence can operate a firearm pretty proficiently in a short amount of time.
Do I think people should get additional firearm training?  Absolutely, but at their insistence and not at the insistence of govt.  I'd even be in favor of a tax-credit type system for additional firearm training.  Even better would be to introduce firearm training into the school system, as a student advances through the grades the firearm training become more in-depth.

We spend all kinds of time and resources in training students; to cook, drive, practice safe sex, etc., and yet firearm education/training is verboten, especially in a country founded on the use of firearms and enshrined as an enumerated negative right, it really makes no sense and it is illogical to not train students on firearm safety, maintenance and laws.
However it is ultimately for the previous generation to train/educate the younger generation in the use of firearms and I think that it is what is sorely missing today, families not taking the time to educate their children and leaving it up to some person and institution to do all of that.

Remember the next time you hear a study on "firearms" touted on the evening news it's most likely junk science.  Something I've known for a long time and now seems lefty anti gun RAND corp is backing up the junk science claim, which surprised me.
< Junk Science: RAND Finds only 123 of 27,900 Gun Control Studies Meet Rigorous Scientific Standards >
QUOTE
There has been a massive research effort going back decades to determine whether gun control measures work. A 2020 analysis by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research organization, parsed the results of 27,900 research publications on the effectiveness of gun control laws. From this vast body of work, the RAND authors found only 123 studies, or 0.4 percent, that tested the effects rigorously. Some of the other 27,777 studies may have been useful for non-empirical discussions, but many others were deeply flawed.

We took a look at the significance of the 123 rigorous empirical studies and what they actually say about the efficacy of gun control laws.

The answer: nothing. The 123 studies that met RAND’s criteria may have been the best of the 27,900 that were analyzed, but they still had serious statistical defects, such as a lack of controls, too many parameters or hypotheses for the data, undisclosed data, erroneous data, misspecified models, and other problems.

…Tellingly, the studies that have gotten the most media or legislative attention aren’t among the 123 that met RAND’s approval. The best studies made claims that were too mild, tenuous, and qualified to satisfy partisans and sensationalist media outlets. It was the worst studies, with the most outrageous claims, that made headlines.

agree not difficult to use, although I dont have a gun, I have shot them.  I guess, more along the lines of safe use and how to use under stress/pressure.  I know a few people how are conceal/carry and even with the trainings and such they have had, I would not trust them to properly and accurately use it in a situation where they felt threatened.  Not sure how you could ever train someone how to properly and accurately use say when they are being attacked/assaulted.  

And we could have a very long thread about what the schools should be teaching and how it should happen.  I agree gun safety would be a good topic.  There are many that would be very good but our entire education system has turned into a "teach to the standardized test" because that is what the school districts and teachers are judged off of.  One good thing that I have seen coming from the COVID school from home is that most colleges/universities have done away with the ACT/SAT test scoring being a part of the acceptance process.  I dont believe in standardized testing, but i do understand the need to somehow judge not only the students level of learning but also the teacher/school systems ability to teach it.  but, like I said, all for a different thread.

as far as studies, in our current day and age of 24 hour news, social media, etc. far too many "studies" are pushed out far before they have been reviewed by peers in the field.  It's been going on for way too long and has been a part of the whole "don't trust the system" movement.  news sources and such need to stop worrying about being first and worry more about being accurate and neutral.

I'll let you in on a little clue, even the most well trained will mess up under pressure, it's human nature.  On average the everyday people of the gun have more trigger time than that of police and to make matters even better usually score higher percentage wise in shots on target than police, whereas for police a hit rate of 70% is required to be considered passing, while in the same vein lots of states require a hit rate above 80% in order to pass conceal carry requirements. 
In engagements, concealed/open carry people have better restraint than police, whereas police will automatically go to gun then sort it out later.

The idea that there are professional people out there operating at a John Wick level is a fantasy.

I feel your fear/apprehension of the average Joe and Jane carrier is misplaced and quite hesitant to have a bit of faith in your fellow countryman.

Posted by was1 on Apr. 04 2022,7:05 pm
I am saddened to learn from you that police require a lower hit rate.  That is something that should be changed

Completely agree in the police being much quicker to draw their weapon.  My assumption there is that they are trained to do so.  However that can elevate the “suspect” which just leads to more problems, in my opinion. Better deescalation training is needed

If all the people who I know who conceal carry had the knowledge and experience I believe you have based on this I would be much more trusting of them all. I’m not saying I don’t trust or have faith in my fellow countryman, just some.

I do think having nation wide discussions like this, based on facts and real experiences, without the “feelings” and emotions would go a long way in taming the hysteria around “gun control” and would maybe call people and start to bridge some of the divide not only on this issue but others as well

Thanks again for the levelheaded comments and factual information.

^^ Cops go to their gun more because they wanna come home at the end of their shift, they have a lower “hit” rate because they are typical human beings, lazy, lack of practice, I’ve shot with a lot of cops over the years, most of them, well, they get most of their shots on the paper. :blush:

Your “lack of trust”? First of all, your neighbor is not there for your protection, second, it’s none of your business if they are carrying or not, if you feel unsafe you should probably carry yourself.

I agree, “without emotions or feelings” read the 2nd amendment again, think about it, then read it again, it’s pretty straightforward and absolute, the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

It’s a good thing that crime and shootings never happen in a “red” state or a city with a R mayor.  Amazing how it’s only in cities run by dems.  A shooting would never happen in a good red R run community where people can carry guns snd not even need to go through the hassle of getting a permit. And if something unfortunately were to happen all those good gun carrying people would stop it.  (Yes sarcasm)

"Ghost gun" is such a stupid moniker for what it really is, homebuilt.  
Homebuilt firearms were a thing before the founding of this country and it is nothing that is new or a recent phenomenon.  All of this hoopla over something such as this only further points to the fact of ever encroaching govt overreach and desire to control what a citizen does, rights be damned.

Good thing that isn't what was said.  However the larger democrat run cities have consistently had higher crime rates than the national average.

The other issue is even self defensive shootings that end up in the death of the attacker gets placed into a generic homicide category.  So when it gets reported that homicides have increased X% from the previous year just be aware that it also includes self defensive shootings.

Why should one have to hide something, isn't this victim blaming?
Gets kinda old in how it is the owners responsibility to make sure theft doesn't occur and then when a theft does occur even after an owner takes measures it still isn't enough and still gets blamed.
How about people shouldn't take things that aren't theirs.

FPC, GOA, 2ndAF and a few other groups have already filed challenges to this new rule as the BATFe(ARBF) lacks the authority to change a legislatively passed defined set of firearm definitions of what is or is not a receiver, an 80% is definitely NOT a firearm receiver, nor is it "readily" convertible into a receiver.

What is interesting, the BATFe(ARBF) actually put a defined set of hours in what they considered "readily" convertible for these 80% blocks of metal at 8hrs.  How did they determine 8hrs?  Well on average, a person who has the tools and fairly handy takes them 8hrs to complete just the finishing of the 80% to 100%, that doesn't include adding the fire control, safety, etc.

So in other words, we taxpayers paid for a BATFe(ARBF) lackey to finish most likely multiple 80% hunks of metal.

Just like kit cars, its for the hobbyist who likes to hand build something or perhaps people like me who did it just so they can say I built one.

don't know if can really explain it to people who don't see it.

people watched Jimmy Bakker on TV and sent him money.

guess if you feel that it is something that you get something from. . .

not going to argue that the quick fix have to say something to the public in regard to shootings that politicians partake in isn't greatly flawed. to put it mildly.

just don't see You Tube content providers as being much help. . .

it's like 24 hour news you are beholden to having to put out news and fill space and attract viewers. (content providers have to fill their space as well)

guess we all know where that got us.

now we just have shit news period.

Yeah that article is full of BS and completely ignores the history of the 2nd Amendment from realization to draft to ratification.

The supreme court has consistently upheld the right to keep and bear arms as an individual right, it wasn't until the US v. Miller where a remark was made that a sawed off shotgun wasn't part of a militia's set of tools and therefore could be regulated.   McReynolds was under heavy pressure from the fdr admin to keep the nfa, after lower courts struck down the nfa as being unconstitutional.  So McReynolds and the rest of the court tried to walk a fine line in upholding the right of the individual and keeping the administrative state happy.   Due to this ruling is where anti gun forces latched on to the collective theory of the 2nd Amendment being connected to a militia.  

In 2008 Scalia who wrote the majority of the decision references the US v. Miller ruling and points this fallacy out that has been allowed to run rampant.  Then in 2010 again it was pointed out that the right referenced in the 2nd Amendment refers to the individual as it does in the other enumerated rights contained in the Bill of Rights in the MacDonald case.

If Jack Miller hadn't unexpectedly died before the case went before the supreme court and then of course the lawyer representing Miller didn't bother any further, it was basically the govt arguing against itself before the court.  If Miller had lived the nfa would have most likely been struck down as unconstitutional.

thought it was a good read. .

the hijacking of the NRA

the misuse of out-of-context quotes adopted by the NRA

little bit of history on the use of guns in general in the country

see how REAGAN and SCALIA usher in the ERA of politicians dancing like trained monkeys to the beat of the NRA. .  and over the top gun advocacy

it showed me why you place SCALIA as some kind of smartest SUPREME COURT JUDGE of all time

of all the JUSTICES that ever 'stood' on the hallowed court.. .  only he could FINALLY clarify the ancient lexicon of the powdered wig donning authors. .  :rofl:

SUPREME indeed  :laugh:

but really what that article ultimately says is:

is that it was a long war of attrition to shape public opinion

and that's kind of how everything is isn't it?

all your suffragettes, equality battles. . . all were fought over time to achieve their success

the author goes on to say that people fighting their own modern-day go against 'today's grain' battles. . . are studying how the NRA battle was fought so they can get similar results

public opinion is really what shapes society isn't it?

look at gay clergy in churches

that doctrine was chiseled in stone

and much more ancient that your precious MAGNA CARTA only written on mere PARCHMENT

and not nearly as ancient. . .

Yes the pertinent facts were correct - gunman killed by women with pistol

Yet wrong date given and false accusation that it wasn’t in the media

< CBS >

And this was during the Texas killing of 19 kids on their school so not as news worthy

And only in your sick mind should that have been a bigger story than 19 children being massacred to such an extent they had to be IDed by their clothes and DNA

Posted by Self-Banished on Jun. 12 2022,9:58 pm
^^ yes, if the press deems it so. There are many tragic stories in the naked city, just look to Chicago every weekend.

Looks to be congress is coming up with the latest “feel good” legislation, no assault weapons ban, no magazine ban. At worst it’ll be an age limit and from the sounds of it even that is watered down. Also, a red flag law, confiscation without due process. Both will most likely be struck down by our current scotus.

Posted by Self-Banished on Sep. 12 2022,5:38 am
I was at a party this weekend and the subject of the state fair shooting comes up. A women, looked to be mid to late 50’s, very eloquent, stated the the shooter more than likely had a “plastic” gun. I explained to her that there is no such thing as a totally plastic gun, the receiver, bolt, barrel have to be steel this it would be picked up by the metal detectors at the gate. She was adamant, she stated there were all plastic guns and that they were called “ghost guns”. She caused me to think of the Kernal, easily swayed by TV and and other “news” outlet.

This is the problem we have, many people letting the main stream media doing their thinking for them, mindless morons. :dunce:

On the stupid new firearm code.  Banks don't have to adopt the new ISO merchant code. As that is all this is, it's just a merchant code, just like Academy is coded as a sports store.
What I can see is merchants that are just strictly firearms will just add fishing stuff and re-code as a sports store. Card companies still aren't going to know what a customers buys unless they call the merchant and inquire and a merchant could just lie and say so and so bought camping gear. Then you have people who just pay in cash, check or go to an ATM and withdraw cash using their credit card.

Then you also have hardware stores that also sell firearms or do FFL transfers and / or sell ammo, such stores ISO merchant code is still going to be hardware.

I mean sure, this could be just a first step into seeing a customers buying habits and what was bought, but at this time line item products aren't listed just the total sale.

On to the dimwit who thinks "ghost guns" are all plastic, all I can say is  :rofl: what a maroon.  Why anyone would think the news/politician is the place to get anything factual about firearms is beyond me.

Then onto the ridiculous info graphic point out the rise in "mass shootings" after permitless carry passed.  :rofl: correlation does not equal causation

Pressure and striking power is the main issue.  The plastic that is used to 3d print a lower, etc., cannot withstand the pressures of a fired round nor has the tensile strength to successfully strike a primer over and over again.  Then there is the need for springs, plastic makes terrible springs.

Now if one was making a gauss/rail gun then ya no problems there, however the issue with these right now is a lack of a high power energy cell small enough for continued use.

I think you could print a disposable single shot weapon pretty easily, and just use rubber bands as a spring. I personally wouldn't fire it, but it would likely work.

that gun that shot ABRAHAM LINCOLN wasn't much of a gun. although there was a piece in STRIB several years ago. that postulated that it may have been all the poking and and probing of the wound that ultimately did him in.

Boothe used a 44 caliber derringer, point blank did the trick.

Oswald however, used an Italian Carcano very arguably one of the worst weapons of its era. I’ve personally shot a couple examples and accuracy is pretty much non existent.

Fun fact.
.38 special has a lower chamber pressure than a .22lr

Posted by Liberal on Sep. 20 2022,8:37 pm
Chamber pressure would be the problem. I guess if it was bulky enough it could hold enough pressure to send the round down range but it would have very little force behind it, and the gun would most likely act like a plastic grenade in your hand. I wouldn't want to be on either side of it.

We are also learning he had called in a bomb threat against his mother, and despite this violent history was still able to get an AR-15. Meidas contributor Troy breaks down the violent online rhetoric and lax gun laws that are getting people killed in the U.S.
Remember SB ended every post with pedophilia or homophobic slurs....where did he pick this stuff up, it was obvious he had some frontal lobe damage so it wasn't his own tripe he was posting!

Hmm, I dunno.  So far the investigators in colorado who are investigating the matter have yet to determine the actual motivation for the shooting.
Just because some morons say it's related doesn't make it true, then again that is the state of news media in America, run with wild accusations and if anyone disagrees with said narrative you are a misinformer/racist/homophobe/transphobe/white supremacist, and on and on.

As to the inbred subhuman piece of dna trash getting his hands on a rifle, matters not if he wasn't adjudicated for his crimes last year.  This is what happens when you have woke soft on crime DA's that wont prosecute.

Also nothing wrong with slurs if they fit and if you think only people with a certain political slant like SB are the only types to use slurs, well bless your lil heart.

You always write in parables, the only thing we seem to agree on is this kid should have been red flagged and not allowed to purchase firearms.

My wife's sister and her husband live in a suburb of Colorado Springs so this is one city I have a little firsthand knowledge on...

Colorado Springs Votes overwhelmingly Republican so I doubt we'll find any "woke" DA's  that won't prosecute...just the opposite, when the Red Flag laws passed the El Paso County sheriff ( Colorado Springs ) said the law was unconstitutional and the Courts would strike it down! this place is GQP central..

Colorado Springs is home to Focus on the Family a fundamentalist Protestant organization founded by James Dobson, headquarters is a four building, 47-acre complex located off of Interstate 25 in northern Colorado Springs.. The group is one of a number of evangelical parachurch organizations..not really a congregational type church but more of a propagandist/political-wing of Religion, they had 1400 hundred employees at their peak...
The organization has referred to the LGBT rights movement as a "particularly evil lie of Satan"

Section 1. [624.7163] FIREARM AND AMMUNITION STORAGE
REQUIREMENTS.
Subdivision 1. Storage.

The owner of a firearm must take reasonable action to secure
the firearm when it is not carried or under the control of the owner or an authorized user.
For this purpose, reasonable action requires a firearm to be stored unloaded with a locking device and separately from its ammunition.

I think this is the section of the bill you are posting about SB..
yeah, the second paragraph needs to taken out or rewritten!
I've struck some wording to the point I'd find it acceptable.

What is it with inbred idiot politicians and their one size fits all "safe storage" BS laws?

Look, "safe storage" type laws have also been addressed in; Heller, McDonald and Bruen, and each time those types of laws have been struck down as unconstitutional.

Posted by Liberal on Feb. 27 2023,9:29 am
I've known one gun owner that keeps every single gun stored in a safe. His safe was actually built into the basement floor when the house was built.

Another guy I knew when I was younger had a father that put them everywhere. I remember the first time my friends and I watched a video there I looked down next to the chair I was sitting in and there was a .45 in the magazine rack. Then a friend went to get a glass of water and there was a handgun in the cupboard. Another time we were out there and a friend needed a phone book and when he opened the drawer there was handgun in there. My friend said his dad did it for protection because they lived in the country and he wanted fast access to them.

Even if 90% of gun owners were responsible owners that still leaves a shitload of people like my friend's dad.

Aside from the anecdotal story.  Is it your opinion that only people who lock up their firearms are considered responsible?
Posted by Expatriate on Feb. 27 2023,11:10 am
^^ Any guns kept in my main gun safe are stored unloaded.
The loaded gun on my nightstand has it's own pistol safe that is locked but accessible in seconds, but only to me.

Many years ago when I was still working on my education I had a couple of other guys that I shared a house with for economical reasons while going to school.

One of these guys would leave loaded guns all over the place it didn't bother me at the time, was used to dealing with loaded weapons.

We had some people over one Saturday, these were all people in there early to mid 20's the beer was sliding down pretty good.

One the guests finds one of my roommates pistols picks it up to look at it before anybody can say that's loaded he pulls the trigger! We were lucky that this inexperienced KID wasn't pointing that pistol at anyone or himself but he did put a hole in the ceiling!

Firearms aren't dangerous in the right hands but there's way too many stupid folks around.

It's a lesson I'll never forget...

Mandatory storage was addressed in Heller and found to be unconstitutional.
Red flag type laws were addressed in Bruen and also fail constitutional scrutiny.  Also with Bruen, a challenge on background checks could be argued since that also fails, text, history and tradition, let alone it compels a person to testify against oneself and compels speech.

On the storage I'm already compliant, with the exception of loaded.

Sales, I've only sold one gun in my lifetime actually it was a trade, that was back in the 1960's...

So if you sell a gun under the proposed law you'd have to get law enforcement approval that the person purchasing the firearm is eligible..

Being one of the only DFL state senators from a rural Minnesota district, Sen. Rob. Kupec, DFL-Moorhead, said he believes the safe-storage bill will have to undergo some changes if it hopes to make it through the Senate.

"From the little bit I've seen of (the bill) from the House, I have some concerns with the bill," said Kupec. "It's not just me. There are several members of the DFL caucus that have some concerns with the bill in its current form."

Posted by Grinning_Dragon on Mar. 10 2023,6:02 pm
Concern is one thing on safe storage laws, the other is the fact that safe storage laws are wholly unconstitutional, not to mention a whole bevy of supreme court rulings that severely limit govts (state and federal) ability to regulate private conduct within the home.

How someone decides to store their firearms in their home is beyond the reach and scope of the govt.

BGC are nothing more than security theater and can be argued that it is unconstitutional since it forces a person to testify against oneself along with compelled speech.

Saying a more enhanced BGC is going to solve the issue is nothing more than wishing a pile of crap in one hand is gold that the other hand can hold.

Subjecting Americans to more unconstitutional nonsense for a .004% problem is nothing more than cheap political points, lazy and just keeps kicking the can down the road at the cost of further infringements of enumerated rights and privileges.

The question that needs to be addressed is why this particular person targeted a Christian school(s) and wanted to die in the process.
This whole fiasco is pointing more and more to being a hate crime, while at the same time does seem suspiciously convenient that the issue surrounding the batfe(arbf) pistol brace nonsense and a supposed antigun nutball just so happened to be in Nash and got their 15 mins of bloviating antigun nonsense the day of the shooting.

After the ban(s) crime has been rising, two years after the ban their govt statistics showed a dramatic increase in criminal activity, homicides were up 20%

^^ the first? The third? The fourth? The fifth? I think you know where this goes.

But why not, let’s repeal the 2nd amendment .

“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”

Ahh, the living document argument.  Yeah, that isn't how enumerated rights work.  Enumerated rights wouldn't serve any purpose if they were changed due to the political winds blowing one way or another, in doing so makes enumerated rights privileges.  Enumerated rights are static until changed by the amendment process.

As to the 2nd being iron clad, a more apt descriptor would be that the amendment falls under strict scrutiny, which is pointed out at the end "shall not be infringed"  The Bruen decision addressed the strict scrutiny and ended the means balancing nonsense the lower courts were employing.

Worth v. Harrington
QUOTE
In sum, the Commissioner’s reliance on statutes passed in the second half of the 19th century does not support his burden to show the age requirement in Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subd. 2(b)(2), is consistent with the nation’s history and tradition of firearm regulations as required by Bruen.

a. The Court declares that Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subd. 2(b)(2)’s requirement that a person must be at least 21 years of age to receive a permit to publicly carry a handgun in Minnesota violates the rights of individuals 18–20 years old to keep and bear arms protected by the Second and Fourteenth Amendments; and

b. Defendants are enjoined from enforcing the 21-year minimum-age requirement in Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subd. 2(b)(2), against the individual Plaintiffs and otherwise-qualified 18–20-year-olds;

Goose-steppin'-jackboot thugs aka batfe(arbf) got their unlawful frames and receiver rule tossed by a federal judge granting summary judgement and vacating the rule on 80% and kits.
QUOTE
In sum, there is a legal distinction between a weapon parts kit, which may be an aggregation of partially manufactured parts not subject to the agency’s regulatory authority, and a “weapon” which “may readily be completed [or] assembled . . . to expel a projectile.” 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3)(A). Defendants contend that drawing such a distinction will produce the absurd result whereby a person lawfully prohibited from possessing a firearm can obtain the necessary components and, given advances in technology, self-manufacture a firearm with relative ease and efficiency.86 Even if it is true that such an interpretation creates loopholes that as a policy matter should be avoided, it (sic) not the role of the judiciary to correct them. That is up to Congress. And until Congress enacts a different statute, the Court is bound to enforce the law as written. -judge o'connor


Statement by FPC
QUOTE

Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) announced that a federal judge has granted summary judgment for the plaintiffs in VanDerStok v. Garland, vacating the ATF’s “frame or receiver” rule and preventing the federal government from enforcing it. The opinion can be viewed at FPCLegal.org.

“This case presents the question of whether the federal government may lawfully regulate partially manufactured firearm components, related firearm products, and other tools and materials in keeping with the Gun Control Act of 1968,” wrote Federal District Court Judge Reed O’Connor in his Order. “Because the Court concludes that the government cannot regulate those items without violating federal law, the Court holds that the government’s recently enacted Final Rule… is unlawful agency action taken in excess of the ATF’s statutory jurisdiction. On this basis, the Court vacates the Final Rule.”

“We’re thrilled to see the Court agree that ATF’s Frame or Receiver Rule exceeds the agency’s congressionally limited authority,” said Cody J. Wisniewski, FPCAF’s Senior Attorney for Constitutional Litigation and FPC’s counsel in this case. “With this decision, the Court has properly struck down ATF’s Rule and ensured that it cannot enforce that which it never had the authority to publish in the first place.”

“This is a monumental victory against the tyrannical ATF. Firearms Policy Coalition and FPC Law have argued that this rogue agency has unlawfully attacked gun owners in this latest round of ‘rulemaking’ and we are grateful to see the Court agree,” said Richard Thomson, FPC’s Vice President of Communications. “We will not stop, however, with this latest victory. FPC and FPC Law will continue to bring these cases to put a stop to the immoral and unconstitutional actions of the disarmament regime.”

Plaintiffs in this case are two individuals, Tactical Machining, LLC, and FPC. FPCAF represents the Plaintiffs, alongside Mountain States Legal Foundation.

Individuals who would like to join the FPC Grassroots Army and support important pro-rights lawsuits and programs like these can sign up at JoinFPC.org. Individuals and organizations wanting to support charitable efforts in support of the restoration of Second Amendment and other natural rights can also make a tax-deductible donation to the FPC Action Foundation.

No.
There is no verification done by gva, gva pulls their data from media reports and social media, which said sources are terrible for initial data, gva also does not amend their initial findings when additional data becomes available.
gva is an anti gun propaganda group posing as a data aggregation group and has many times admitted to padding the stats to push for gun control.

It does matter.  Just because there are links doesn't make it true nor does those linked sources tell the full story.
For instance, the source you claiming includes the following:
   Self-defense

   Gang violence

   Violence related to drugs

   Contained residential or domestic disputes

   Controlled barricade/hostage situations

   Crossfire as a byproduct of another ongoing criminal act

   An action that appeared not to have put other people in peril

Those instances are included to pad the stats and make it appear worse.  It's dishonest and used to drive a political narrative of gun control.
As I have said before, the true current MCE is 22 so far for the year 2023.
Hell compare what you have against the FBI UCR.

Students For Trump Founder Arrested For Allegedly Hitting Girlfriend With Gun :dunce:

According to reports, one of the founders of the right wing group "Students for Trump" was arrested last week after he allegedly hit his girlfriend in the head with his pistol. Ryan Fournier was charged with two misdemeanor counts and will be appearing in front of a judge in early December. Fournier isn't the first founder of Students for Trump to be arrested, as the other co-founder was arrested several years ago for allegedly impersonating an attorney to bilk clients out of money. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Fuck tard
One who is incredibly stupid, beyond even that of a retard.

Many years ago, the average population of the fuck tard was thought to diminish over time due to the retarded fucking activities fuck tards often engage in (such as rolling a bowling ball down a slide into their testicles, potentially causing serious damage to them). However, this is not the case.

Through the invention of the internet (and websites such as youtube and 4chan), the fuck tard population has skyrocketed dramatically. Seeking fame among other fuck tards, many fuck tards will upload videos of themselves doing fucktarded things.

Other fuck tards may see these videos and decide to either 1.) recreate the fucktarded activity they had just seen or 2.) try to 1up the fuck tard for fuck tard street cred. The aforementioned fuck tard will also upload a video of himself engaging in whatever activity he decided upon.

In turn, this has lead to a shitstorm of fucktardation, the likes of which we have never before witnessed in history.
Lil fuck tard: Sup bromontana, you see that vid on youtube of that guy doing pull ups from that crane without any safety gear?

Fuck tard youngling: Yeah, it might be a good idea for us to try that ourselves

At the time of founding it was quite common for the adults to be armed and in some instances many locales had laws that required the carrying of arms of not only in schools but also churches.

In the grand scheme of things, such a law allowing the adult to carry in schools would satisfy the text, history and tradition as defined in Heller and Bruen.

So your solution is to just rely on two armed people when a force multiplier could be implemented.

Are police officer really that better trained?  Wearing an uniform and donning a tin badge does not an expert make and who's to say that people aren't going down by friendly fire by police?

As to MN laws working, well only to point that those who don't intend to harm are going to comply.
Police are used in schools around these parts.

With the number of school shootings I'd venture to say yes the police are training for this scenario. After the failure of the police response at Uvalde I'd say ALPD as well as police units across the country have picked up their game and have a new playbook.

I'm sure the school districts/teachers have some type of active shooter plan.

Tired over used cliche isn't even relevant here.
What I am proposing is an acceptable risk, giving the adult(s) a chance to fight back against a shitbrick.  Police cannot be everywhere nor can they be counted on being there in the nick of time when seconds count.

By saying that they should hunker down and just wait is nothing more than creating a target rich environment and is currently the status quo.
Face it, gun free zones are a failure, were designed to be a failure all in the name of illusionary safety.  Instead of feeling safe actually give the tools that will enable being safe.

Dumb.  Guess MN felt left out when other leftist shithole states have unconstitutionally banned common firearms, so they gotta get in on the infringements.

However, it does look like the 8th circuit is going to shoot down MN unconstitutional law barring 18-20yr olds from conceal carry.

Pretty sure that's how exercising an enumerated right works as rights do not require govt permission to exercise.

Good.  Isn't any of the govts business in how private individuals lawfully conduct a transaction.  Then there is the whole fact that such sales are codified within the FOPA86 Act.
Also within the FOPA86 Act; language was included to prohibit registries at the local, state and federal level.  Registries only serve one purpose, eventual confiscation.

@ GD
Yeah, I meant couldn't, isn't the motto of our police to protect and serve, but whatever, I understand what you're saying! But I'd think the court ruling you refer to is more about protecting law enforcement from liability.

The Second Amendment is probably one of the most debated Amendments.

Ratified December 15th 1791
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What does well regulated mean, the only thing that separates well regulated is commas.

From 1994 to 2004 they had a ban on what they labeled Federal Assault Weapons Ban which ban manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms also as certain ammunition magazines that were defined as large capacity.

Some firearms were banned completely, other manufacturers skirted the law by dropping the Flash Deflector/Suppressor and the bayonet lug.The next time I fear it'll be a real ban!

Again, I'm not for any PROHIBITION or excessive regulation but a pistol in every pocket doesn't seem to be working out. We have to have regulation to preserve our Second Amendment rights.

We're actually on the same side, I'm just willing to except regulation.
We have to stop all this senseless slaughter.  

As to my Red State comment I'll included Pew Research Center study of gun deaths, unfortunately they include suicides.

Maybe I'd want to kill myself too if I lived in a RED State..LOL

Maybe you want to kill yourself? Minnesota is currently considering an assisted suicide bill.

And on another note, I’m currently bidding on a piece of equipment with a backhoe, c’mon up comrade Dick Whistle, if I win, I’ll show it to you😁

Posted by Grinning_Dragon on Feb. 17 2024,9:39 am
CastleRock, Warren etc. are all cases where the holding in the supreme court held that there is no constitutional obligation that police have to protect the public and held that the role of police is protection of govt interests.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to a free state, "  this inclusion in the prefatory clause is about being ready, equipped when called up for muster.  Since the people were to bring their own musket, ball and powder.
Further explained in the Militia Act of 1792.  The prefatory has no holding or bearing on the objective right it self which belongs to the people.

94AWB, facially and as applied was unconstitutional, just because the supreme court never took on a challenge of said unconstitutional law doesn't mean the supreme court was in agreement.
In 2008, the holding in Heller(handguns) ruled that firearms in possession for common lawful purposes cannot be banned and that it is the people who decide what is common use and not the govt, further in Heller Scailia also held that arms that it might be possible to ban certain arms if they were deemed "dangerous and unusual".   Notice the usage of "possible" and the "and".

So in other words in Heller, commonly possessed arms cannot be banned and the test to determine the ability to ban is based on the conjunctive test of "dangerous and unusual"
AR/AK/MCX, etc. type arms are very in common use since there are millions of these arms in possession by the people, so those arms do no meet the "unusual" portion of the test "dangerous and unusual"

Bruen, which is Heller 2.0 and cites Heller in the ruling 34 times further explained Heller that it is govts burden of proof to justify a modern day ban in using historical analogs from the time of founding and that correct time period is 1791.

Constitutional rights are not subject to polling data and shows desperation in an attempt to interest balance a negative enumerated right, when said enumerated right is already an interest balance.

However
States that have adopted permit-less carry have seen a drop in crimes in the 6%-10%+ range in the more populated cities, the often cried out of "wild west" just isn't bearing out.  As I've said before, democrat controlled cities are where the highest homicide rate is going to occur, so it's disingenuous to assume because it's a "red" state it must be because of "lax firearm laws".
What is also missing from such polling nonsense is the number of times a year crimes are prevented by an estimated 2.5million times a year.  The positive uses of personally carried arms dwarfs the criminally misused.


Sorry but stating, "I am for the 2nd Amendment, but..." puts you into the fudd gun grabber category.

QUOTE
A principal source of errors and injustice are false ideas of utility. For example: that legislator has false ideas of utility who considers particular more than general conveniences, who had rather command the sentiments of mankind than excite them, who dares say to reason, "Be thou a slave;" who would sacrifice a thousand real advantages to the fear of an imaginary or trifling inconvenience; who would deprive men of the use of fire for fear of their being burnt, and of water for fear of their being drowned; and who knows of no means of preventing evil but by destroying it.
The laws of this nature are those which forbid to wear arms, disarming those only who are not disposed to commit the crime which the laws mean to prevent. Can it be supposed, that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity, and the most important of the code, will respect the less considerable and arbitrary injunctions, the violation of which is so easy, and of so little comparative importance? Does not the execution of this law deprive the subject of that personal liberty, so dear to mankind and to the wise legislator? and does it not subject the innocent to all the disagreeable circumstances that should only fall on the guilty? It certainly makes the situation of the assaulted worse, and of the assailants better, and rather encourages than prevents murder, as it requires less courage to attack unarmed than armed persons.
- Ceasare Beccaria

The passage above from his "On Crimes and Punishment" published in 1764, heavily influenced the language during drafting of the 2nd Amendment, combined with lessons learned from King Alfred circa 600AD along with the writings of Blackstone's "Rights of Englishmen" and the importance of an armed populace.

That woman is an idiot, goes off on a tangent that had nothing to do with the facts of the case and just rattled off BS interest balancing nonsense.
So the verdict was,  wlp and wilson phillips have to pay back a lil over 6mil combined to the nra and there maybe an overseer appointed by the court.

The other thing, the nra hasn't really been a big player for quite a few decades, after all they have been called Negotiating Rights Away for a long time now.

The new big dog(s) is currently the SAF and the NSSF, followed up by GOA, FPC and NAGR.

Quite telling when certain youtube biological mistakes are omitting the outcome of the trial.

No.  But I was a member until the passage of the unconstitutional awb 94, switched over to GOA and recently added FPC.

Also to note.  Tomorrow, oral arguments begin at the supreme court in Cargil v. batfe(arbf)
