[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So  much of this argument is about whether the regulations of guns on the set were strict enough and enforced.

YET, we have virtually no regulation of guns on the streets we walk everyday.

So, yes, it would be great if people who work on movie sets were safe. But those of you arguing that responsible gun use requires rules and training....why don't we require that out in public, which has children and drunk people and angry people....

I am all for controlling how guns are used, but more concerned about schools and malls than movie sets.

Before you ask how this is relevant, it is all people who went to work and got shot to death. [/quote]

“YET, we have virtually no regulation of guns on the streets we walk everyday.”

If you seriously believe there is “virtually no regulation” of firearms, whether generally or “on the streets we walk [sic] everyday,” you may be the most appallingly ignorant human being in creation.

Okay, so we get that you have consumed the NRA's kool aid. And you probably believe what you are saying.

Here are some FACTS:

I am done debating someone who spouts opinions. Bye

So you’re “done” because you’re completely insecure in your ignorance?  Because the opinion/advocacy pieces you cite to as “FACTS” might not hold water?

Let’s “consume” some actual facts. About DC. You know, where we walk the streets [sic] “everyday.”

DC has at least the following gun laws (laid out in the DC Code):

1. All firearms must be registered. 
2. Unlawful to possess unregistered firearm. 
3. Unlawful to possess ammunition without registered firearm. 
4. Lengthy list of banned long guns by name and/or characteristics. 
5. Specified list of handguns allowed -- no "Saturday Night Specials."
6. Unlawful to carry firearm openly. 
7. Unlawful to carry pistol without a license.
8. Training with actual target exam required for license. 
9. Places where licensed pistol can be carried highly restricted. 
10. Ammunition carried with licensed pistol extremely limited. 
11. No open or vehicular long gun carry. 
12. No possession of firearms or ammunition by minors, prohibited persons (felons, drug users, violent mentally ill).
13. No private sale of firearms.
14. Prepurchase safety training. 
15. Background check on all purchases. 
16. Longstanding (at least the 1970's) limit to 10 round magazine capacity. 
17. Negligent firearm use unlawful 
18. Criminal firearm use unlawful. 
19. Use of firearm in crime of violence, drug crime, etc., unlawful.

This is hardly “no regulation.”  You genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. And you know it.
