The Gun Control Debate Thread

[fortsbest]

Short answer yes it would go into effect until overturned explicitly. Longer answer, there are probably tons of legal maneuvers over my head that would prevent it from taking effect with an active challenge pending. Longest answer, you can expect mass citizen open disobedience of the law given that there is such a recent Supreme Court decision declaring it blatantly unconstitutional; the disobedience being openly flaunted on the logic that the statute is clearly on its face invalid, and anyone prosecuted under it would probably cite the decision.

Given Trump’s vast remaking of the federal courts with conservative after conservative, lots of these defendants if not most of them are going to encounter judges who overrule the ban.

They can pass all the bills of this type they want. None of them would pass the Senate. Might not even get brought up for consideration.

Do they not realize that the gun has to be sent to an FFL where the background check is done, or are the willfully lying?

I'd bet she's willfully lying, notice no one in the media is fact checking her

This is such a fucking load of shit. I wish somebody in the media would have the balls to call shit like this out. Buying a gun on line actually requires two background checks. At least in North Dakota. And I'd bet it's the same all around the country.

For example, if I want to buy a gun on line from Scheels, I place my order and provide my information. Also, naming the nearest FFL I'd like the gun sent to. As it's AGAINST THE LAW TO MAIL A FIREARM DIRECTLY. The selling party will run a background check, and if everything checks out, will then finalize the purchase and send the gun to the FFL nearest to you. Once they receive the firearm, they will also run a background check on the person that bought it before they can release it to them. AS REQUIRED BY LAW. So yeah, two fucking background checks to buy a gun on line.

They must know the truth, but continue to spew out blatant lies while being unchecked. To brainwash and sway the simple minded.

Some of the media does call them out. They just aren't the media that all of the brain-numb idiots watch.

How hard would it be to dry up the gunpowder industry? Seems to me that if you wanted to neutralize guns of any type the most reasonable approach would be to work on the stuff rhat makes guns lethal. No gun powder no bullets no matter what the caliber, or automation. It would be like taking the uranium components from the nuclear weapons.

I dont know how you could ever round up all the guns but maybe you could round up all the gunpowder industry. Just a thought.

Keep that shit under wraps, LT. Nobody better start cutting my gun powder trees down or I'm pointing the finger at YOU!

Did you know it's perfectly legal to make your own gunpowder as long as you don't sell it

It is now but if you were going to eradicate it it would then be illegal.

So you get yours from trees huh? Does it turn to red and yellow in the autum?

It's black, LT. My gun powder is black when I harvest my trees. It never changes colors. Even in Autumn.

Well you know what they say. Keep your powder seeds dry.

And just like prohibition I'm sure everyone would follow this.


This is a ridiculous proposal though, It would never pass. The left would never even propose this, it doesn't accomplish what they want which is to disarm the populace

Yeah I guess so. But with prohibition you could make booze from things you could grow at home. I’m not sure what the various compounds of “gun power” are but I would imagine it has to be mined and processed then mixed and refined. This comes through the manufacturing process and requires sophisticated machinery and equipment to produce. A considerable sophisticated process from fermenting corn and wheat. Anyhow to me it’s an interesting thought and may be a more potentially successful way of dealing with making a shooter less society except for military issue. Be advised however I am not for getting rid of arms but if I were I would probably take this approach. Just something to ponder while waiting for the official start of pro football.
