Biden going after semi-automatics?

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

You know I'm immune to that sh17; right? Anyway, Regulations, yes, confiscation, no. Whats an assault rifle?

If you accept that guns are here to stay as any intelligent person would concede,

A fore-grip: Wouldn't you want someone who uses their firearm in self defense to have better control so they don't hit an unintended target?
Flashlight: Same as above, and, if you deploy a firearm for self-defense, a light is a must in terms of identifying ones target.
Red dot: Same as above.
Muzzle Comp; for better control in recoil mitigation, same as above.
Adjustable stock; same as above
Pistol grip: same as above.

All of those contribute to better accuracy that, if you're inclined to employ a firearm, will ensure that you hit your intended target and only your intended target.

I agree that it should be a national law to have to keep all firearms in a locked up.
I agree that no one should be allowed to carry a firearm outside of their property.
I agree in existing laws that make it a greater crime if you have a firearm in your possession.

Whats an assault rifle? ANYTHING semi auto over 5 round magazine, ANY AND ALL if you can't protect your damn self or Kill bambi with anything more than 5 shots you need to practice more.

I agree that it should be a national law to have to keep all firearms in a locked up. Of course I agree, but then you can't use the home defense argument. If it's locked in a safe and cracky home invades you at 3:00 am and your not laying in your bed with your holster on then it's no use as a defense weapon.

The gun safe can be beside your bed. It takes only seconds to enter the unlock code. You'd have the home invader dead to rights before he even got half way through the bedroom window. You could have five rounds in him before he hit the floor.

Except it's dark, and the person sneaking in the window is probably your daughter returning from a midnight sojourn...

I love this 90% of the people either
A) Just don't have the guts to pull the trigger
B) Don't have the training to hit the target
C) Having a gun in a home you are 80% more likely to shoot yourself, or someone you know or love.

Those are just the facts man so live out your Charles Bronson gun lust wet dream but it's not factual
I sleep like a log cracky would be in and out with my TV before I even rolled over in my sleep.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

So you would abolish roughly 80% of the firearms out there? Would you buy them back at fair market value before the ban effected prices? How long do you think it will take to get all of those guns? How much will it cost? Are you banning shotguns, revolvers, or lever-guns? most/many carry over 5 rounds.

ME I would abolish 100% of these silly 13 century bang bangs tools of death you all hold so dear.
Leave the guns for the military and possibly the police. I've lived nearly 60 years on this earth and never once felt that a gun would make my life 1% better.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

the oil industry has been and remains a critical part of ours and the world's economy

same same medical industry

guns and ammo, not so much

Yes, but why?

The oil industry remains a critical part because we are reluctant to change. Oil powers engines, but we can work to make it a smaller share. Oil provides plastics, but we have alternatives that biodegrade. Oil is critical because we allow it to be and we allow it to be because it claims to create jobs despite the fact that it was established back as far as Bill Clinton that renewables create more jobs.

The medical industry has put the insurance companies between us and the doctors. We all need insurance, so they have the money to fight meaningful change.

It's not just that the gun industry is small. They use their disposable income well to buy the politics they want. It is worse that we feed wealth to companies that they use to pervert the politics that we need to improve the quality of our lives.

And that is why I do not own a gun.

There are ways to deliver health care for far less cost, affordable by all, no bankruptcies need to occur.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

I don't hold them dear, as I've said a million times here, I'd have them all gone if I were king of the world. Reality is more powerful than yours and my hopes and dreams. Sorry about your luck.

Reality is more Americans want more responsible gun legislation. The fact that our elected official, mostly on the right, are working against what their constituents want, and are in bed with the NRA tells me all I need to know.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

Lol, you can be as offensive as you please, it won't change the fact that you won't get your way, certainly not in your lifetime?

Pssssssssst Mike, this a silly little forum dedicated mostly to the love and care of woodenboats NO ONE HERE THINKS THEY ARE GOING TO GET THEIR WAY IN ANY LIFETIME. But I can express my views just as anyone can.

i should like to commend you for becoming the absolute master of stating the obvious

[Joe (SoCal)]

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

And I'm one of them. But take that too far, like a ban on semi-autos, and you've lost your majority. People want guns locked up, red flag laws, and universal background checks for all gun sales, but not a ban.

I totally agree with that and I would be happy with that.

BUT WHAT I WAN'T is to melt ALL guns, and criminalize all possession of all firearms, with huge fines and prison for offenders. Yea I'm not gonna get that but hey no harm in dreaming.

[Joe (SoCal)]

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

Yeah, but you're being a douche about it.

Are you new here ?
