[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a ban on semi-automatics aaide, why do so many of you have problems with banning large capacity magazines? [/quote]

Because law-abiding shooters who use their guns to shoot at targets at a gun range don't want to spend all their range time reloading magazines when they could be shooting. It's the same concept as getting a big bucket of balls at the declining range instead of the three that come in the box.

It's not nearly as nefarious as gun control advocates make it sound.[/quote]

Then you should be required to A) be licensed to operate a firearm through a federeally approved training course, B) register your firearms with ATF (and re-register every 1-2 years like you do with a car), and C) register as an FFL if you want to sell your gun to a third party so that you have the legal obligation to conduct a federal background check OR agree that you must sell your firearm(s) to an FFL who is required to run a background check before they can re-sell it.  Anyone in possession of a firearm who does not have every single one of these things should be penalized with a HEAVY fine and/or a misdemeanor offense for repeat offenders.   I also personally think that gun owners should be required to purchase a gun safe and provide proof of purchase in order to maintain a license, the same way you have to prove you have car insurance in order to renew your car registration. These are common sense laws that in NO WAY impinge on your rights to own firearm(s) for sport.  You can still own a fucking arsenal and go shoot your crazy heart out every damn day.  This is exactly what we do with vehicles.  We don't just let any idiot operate a 2-ton piece of machinery, and we shouldn't just let any idiot own and operate firearms.  The amazing number of loopholes people can use to purchase guns without a background check is insane and wrong.[/quote]

I agree with every one of these suggestions, and would even go further in some instances.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that any of these would have prevented Orlando.[/quote]
