No guns in Chicago = War zone

Do you think anyone should be allowed to buy a machine gun without any check?

No shades of gray, if you are homesick go back.

I believe that if someone gets a form 4 Approved and pays their $200 stamp, that is good enough.

I don't really approve of the cost of the stamp, it should be FREE.

Do you, like JR, think a few massacres are the price others have to pay for your recreational gun use?

Well, it's not quite as simple as just filling out a form, is it?

You will need to be fingerprinted. These will be used to perform a comprehensive criminal background check on you.

You must have the signature of the Chief Law Enforcement (CLEO) officer that has jurisdiction over the municipality in which you live on the form 4. This could be the City Chief or the County Sheriff, for example. Then submit the form 4, CLEO signature, 2 fingerprint cards, 2 pictures, and wait for BATF to do its checking.

It must REALLY piss you off that Scalia wrote that gun ownership is not an unlimited right, and that prohibitions on certain persons and types of gun are quite legal.

THAT is a pretty good shade of grey.

Not a peep out of the conservatives when the Bush administration stomped over our other rights, but any suggestion from the SCOTUS that the 2nd is "not unlimited" and that existing restrictions are legal and they get all pissy.



so why is their hypocrisy worse than your's?

They both smell to me.


Do you think anyone should be allowed to buy a machine gun without any check? Or do you actually recognize shades of grey?

Until you can explain why Bush's moves to infringe on our rights to fight terrorism is bad, but sacrificing medical privacy rights in gun control is good, good evening to you. Vacation is coming soon and I have better uses for my time than herring laced hypocrisy.

JR's most recent posting, along with Ben Franklin, have a clue.


:D:D

Can't honestly answer the question, eh? Thought not.

I'd actually be ok with that provided I don't have to register my firearms. The government does not need to know which firearms I own.



Do they need to know which car you are driving? Provided your registrations system is the same like ours, you and your car are registered.

Why not doing the same with firearms? What to hide here?

Kind of hard regulating a well regulated militia if you don't know what arms they have.

Anyway, what are you afraid of? The Supremes just affirmed your (not unlimited) right to own a firearm, so confiscation is off the table.

That's EXACTLY what I'm suggesting. The law says nutcases may not buy guns. And I've proposed a way of enforcing it.



No you are not suggesting enforcing the current laws at all. You are suggesting NEW laws that in YOUR opinion are not intrusions into other people's rights.

While at the same time bitching up a storm about you losing YOUR rights in other areas. You are hypocritical in the fact you cry about your rights, but are willing to step on others rights.

After all, as Scalia told us, gun ownership is not an unlimited right.



And he listed a few cases such as criminals and the mentally ill. He DID also say nothing reasonable about a BAN....

Quote

You do realize you contradicted yourself within that one post, right?



Only contradiction is from your views...It is OK to step on gun owners rights, but not the rights of guys that have model rockets.

Quote

Let's hear YOUR ideas, Ron.



Actually enforce the current rules. We have enough gun laws on the books...We just don't follow them and no amount of additional regulations will fix that. The gun control act of 1968 was pretty good except the "sporting clause" part.

because I like my automatic. :P


Also our understanding of the 2nd Amendment differs. My understanding is we, the people, have the right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves from the well organized militia which is necessary to the security of a free state. Not because we, the people, are considered the militia.

not if you actually understand the meanings of those words.


Still can't honestly answer my very simple question.

Funny for a guy who is so quick to shout "EVASION" about others. Do I detect a double standard?:o:o

(Anyway, what happened to that vacation of yours that would prevent your further discussion - or was that just another excuse not to answer a simple question?)

I like it! Unique and fresh, with a distinct "we're fighting for our freedom against the evil government" angle.

But I greatly prefer the interpretation that we are only have a constitutional right to use bear arms, rather than ordinary human-designed arms. Once bears start making weapons, though, we're set.

Do you, like JR, think a few massacres are the price others have to pay for your recreational gun CAR use?



Here fixed it for you.

Lets ban cars!

>I see a difference here Bill. In the case of the car all you list is mainly to
>collect money, not control ownership.

You're kidding, right? Have you ever heard of:
-revoking a driver's license due to speeding or drunk drivingI think we were talking about cars not drivers
-liens being placed against a car's titlehas nothing to do with the ownership, just the loan
-safety and emissions requirements for registration

>Again, what you list here is not to control whether or not you can skydive

Try jumping into Washington, DC with a BASE rig and see whether or not the rules are in place to control where, when and how you skydive.seems a bit off the topic but if you say so

>most if not all of the regulation you list above it to make sure you are trained
>or put in place to collect money, not control whether or not you can own or
>participate.

As I have demonstrated, it is clearly both.



I think you stretch it a bit, but I can see where you are coming from. I just dont agree

STRAWMAN: No-one proposes banning guns.

I'm unaware of anyone with a history of mental problems buying a car in order to conduct a massacre. Perhaps you'll provide a cite.

On the other hand, guns seem to be a very popular choice with loonies.

But gun ownership is "not unlimited", and the Supremes have already given their seal of approval to restrictions. So your argument falls flat on it face.

Actually it is all the info you need. Enforce the current system means to enforce the current system.

Pretty simple really.

You just don't like it since you don't get to try and force feel good legislation on people.

I find it SO funny after you tried to ream me on the WL debate.

And they listed some of those restrictions.

1. Can't be a felon.
2. Can't be insane.
3. Can't carry in a court or school.

How many others did they list John?

No, but cars kill more people than guns in america, so using your tactics, and logic, we should ban cars, as they are dangerous.:P

How about Iraq? Any comments on how bad things are over there?

Beating the same silly strawman over and over again doesn't impress anyone with your debating skill. It's not even a clever strawman.

HOW. Stop evading the question. HOW will you identify the mentally disturbed potential purchaser?

Do you think a NICS check would be adequate for someone wanting to purchase a machine gun?
