[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the liberal arguments are based on emotion and talking points. They have zero understanding about firearms. I showed libs pictures of 3006, .308win and .223 next to each other and asked them which one would they ban. They all say 3006, and have no idea the smallest one, the .223 is the one the ar-15 uses[/quote]

I care about rifle wounds because they are most difficult to survive, especially for kids. Working in healthcare, it's very clear people survive handgun wounds (unless to brain/heart of course) far easier than rifle wounds.

I care about guns in general because even if criminals turn to knives, at least I won't have to check my sleeping child anymore to ensure a bullet didn't penetrate their window (and yes, I've had to check my sleeping child due to gun shots in my alley and know of neighbors who found bullets that penetrated windows). At least fewer bystanders caught in targeted drive by shootings; you have to be up close and personal to get a knife wound in. [/quote]

Might want to move?[/quote]

We will be because we have the means to. Others don't. Regardless, your comment deflects from the actual point which is that gun crime and knife crime are not the same in terms of bystander risk to communities impacted by violence and cracking down on straw purchase and trafficking in red states WOULD actually help on this front. Limit bulk purchases, require only one weapon purchase per time period (worked to reduce straw purchases in VA). Stop deflecting. [/quote]

The take the guns out of the hands of criminals in the neighborhood using raids, sweeps, stop and frisk

That's running around putting bandaids on the bleed.  We need to stop the SUPPLY CHAIN.[/quote]

But you’re not willing to do both, of course[/quote]

I am, and I will repeat it.

[quote]How about we MANDATE a hard requirement on background checks for EVERY transfer of ownership of a gun to INCLUDE anyone diagnosed with mental illness to include depression (given the millions of gun suicides) and including anyone with a history of domestic or workplace violence or anger management issues and that EVERY TRANSFER goes into a PERSISTENT SEARCHABLE database. And, any "lost" or "stolen" gun must be reported IMMEDIATELY along with facing consequences for not properly storing or securing your gun. And anyone not complying gets an immediate felony and jail time.

From there on out, every gun used in a crime that is recovered on the streets is traced back to where it came from and the person who possessed it supplied it gets a mandatory felony and jail time.

Doing that would shut down a HUGE percentage of the problems and stop a lot of the fcking around that's contributing to our gun violence epidemic.[/quote]

I am a gun owner, and I am willing to do this.  Because, I am a RESPONSIBLE gun owner who actually cares about doing something about gun violence.
If YOU aren't willing to do that then it's YOU who is the problem.[/quote]
