It said "Regulate guns, not drag" but I used a paint marker to make it say "Don't regulate guns, drag."

The benefits of any "sensible" gun regulations would be far more effectively and less abusably achieved through just... normal social safety nets and stuff.
The choice to kill comes before the choice of weapon. Anyone dedicated to ending lives will find an implement to do so (knives, acid, nail bombs, motor vehicles, bow and arrows, etc. etc. etc.), so the only truly effective way to stop violence is to actually prevent violence.
Remove or solve the factors driving people to make the choice to kill, and gun violence solves itself.

Well yeah I've been saying for years that gun deaths are largely a problem of men being insane and also gang warfare due to poverty and the resulting drug trade. But things like denying guns to people convicted of domestic violence and having waiting periods are good ideas.

u/Wolffe_In_The_Dark BCM Bisexual 10d ago edited 10d ago
Yeah but those are a part of existing gun regs.
The point is we don't need any more, we need to get rid of most of what we already have and refine the little we keep.

We don't have those regulations in every state
Edit: I stated a fact. I just same-day purchased a firearm for the third* time in my life a couple months ago, and not all domestic violence charges are felonies. Do your research folks. Don't instinctively trust everything you read.

Waiting periods and banning convicted felons for life are Federal law, the States don't get a say in that part.

Huh? Waiting periods aren't federal law, and I was talking about specifically DV offenders, not all felons. This is either bad faith engagement, a misreading of what I said, and/or the accidental spreading of misinformation.

They might be referring to the Brady act or the safer communities act

Didn't they do away with the waiting period when digital background checks became a thing?

u/BlahajBlaster mountain dew blahaj blaster 9d ago
Yes, unless you get a delay
It's possible that has changed in the past few years though

I never said you couldn't have that. I just think it's okay to make someone wait a few days for it. And I don't think people who beat their partners or children should be allowed to own guns.

As someone with deep anarchist tendencies, even an anarchist society has governance and a justice system.

Who gets to pick who gets to own a gun? California has proven that doesn't work. Their gun regulation is based on Racism. But in today's political environment, would anyone posting in here be allowed to own a gun?

I can 3d print a gun. Gun control will never work. All gun laws are infringement and will be used to abuse minorities. Please change

Thanks for posting /u/TrumpIsAPedoFr! Please make sure your post adheres to the rules. Please name any firearms or accessories featured in this post to help out our newer members. Please report comments that break the rules, and don't respond to negativity with negativity.
The rules of firearm safety are paramount. Keep these in mind at all times while handling a firearm for any reason. Guns are not toys and it is best to not refer to them as such.
It is the belief of the mod team that your best option for defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun such as a Glock or CZ. Defensive firearms should have a light, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger. A red dot or etched optic are ideal for new shooters but don't forget to practice your backup irons!
