I am not going to register my firearms. Derek V
-
No. Derek V
-
How are you going to prove that Glock was mine? There are no records. This is my point about the universal background check being required. Unless you have a database that shows who owns what firearms, you cannot prove that firearm ever belonged to me (or whomever). Derek V
-
You keep missing my point. Without a gun registry that proves who bought what guns, you are not going to convict anyone. I have several firearms without serial numbers, legally. No worries. And I agree that things should be and could be better. More police in higher crime areas. I know that taxes would have to go up to pay for it, but I would vote yes for that. More money for mental health. Free health insurance. I am for these things and they would help. Derek V

I don't have a solution. I know that gun control, short of all guns going away, except military and police, won't make much difference. Derek V
-
No, because criminals are not going to install your GPS device. Or they will remove them. See above for some changes I am for. My stance is NOT, "'unless it's instantly and 100% perfect I'm not willing to accept any change'. " Derek V
-
What other evidence? No, it isn't. The only complete solution is to confiscate all firearms and ban the sell or possession of them. You accused me of; "Also, thanks for proving what I suspected all along. You aren't interested in making any changes at all." Now you are moving the goalposts. I offered changes I am for and now you complain that it "it is not a complete solution." Derek V

I can't recall a single instance of someone using an AAD to defend themselves from an attacker. Maybe John can inform us. This is really getting silly. Can we please stop this? Derek V

If you could ensure that 100% of the guns in the US were outfitted with this technology and couldn't be bypassed, I would be all for it. But that just isn't possible. Derek V
-
I would need more details, but sure. Derek V
-
And which of these laws/procedures(?) would prevent someone from using their firearms(s) to commit murder? Derek V
-
And no matter how many times you say I want the "right to be able to shoot in a school", doesn't make it any more true. Derek V
-
You are not going to prosecute anyone with only the word of a criminal that is getting a reduced sentence in exchange. You keep missing my point. You have to be able to prove they sold the firearm. Innocent until proven guilty. Wrong. I think we should ban bump stocks. I think we should increase the funding for the NICS system so that the 72-hour law is never used. I think the 72-hour law should be doubled to 144 hours. I think that states and the military should ensure that anyone that should not pass the NICs background check be put on the list within 24 hours. This is just off the top of my head. Derek V
-
If you say so. Derek V
-
No, it isn't. In your example, why would the bad guy tell the investigator where they got the firearm? For a reduced sentence? OK, now you go to the person they named and they say they didn't sell them the gun. Now what? You are moving the goal post. from freedom to constitutionally protected freedom...... Again, goalposts.

You must be a really bad, paranoid, and fearful skydiver to have a Cypres in your rig. Derek V
-
It is not enforceable unless you track who owns which guns in a database. Derek V
-
Do you have your cell phone settings so that it is disabled while you are in a moving vehicle? Do you have a breathalyzer/immobilizer installed in your vehicle(s)? Do you have a device that limits your vehicle's top speed to the speed limit? Don't want to give up your right to get drunk and do 110-mph through the playground while checking facebook? When I play by your rules, the game gets MUCH easier........ Derek V
-
You will never get 100% of the guns to have your GPS/trigger interrupter installed. Is that number similar to the percentage of skydivers ACTUALLY saved by their AAD? Derek V
-
Have you ever been wrong? Derek V
-
to defend myself. Derek V

A- Without 100% gun registration, that law is not enforcable. It is not a self-fulfilling prophecy. B- The freedom to loan a friend a rifle to take hunting or the range. The freedom to go buy an 11+ round magazine. When the ASW ban was law, and you could only buy 10-rounds or less magazines, people switched form 9mm to .45. Not exactly the result they were looking for.

We have that in Colorado. It is not enforceable. We have the NICS background check. The military is getting it's act together. That system needs to be improved so that anyone that should not be allowed to purchase a firearm is placed on that list very quickly. Also, it needs to be staffed well enough that the 72-hour rule is never used. As for a mental health database, how does one get put on it? Ho does one get removed from it? Remember, you are denying someone's constitutional right, do not take it lightly. The ATF already does spot checks of FFL dealers. And how would you enforce this? Much easier to take away rights from everyone (what is the percentage of law abiding vs. non-law abiding gun owners?) than address the issue. We could put breathalyzers in every vehicle. We could require manufacturers to make vehicles that cannot exceed the speed limit. We don't. Why? Derek V
-
Well, you did think that the Colorado universal background check would be enforceable. Derek V
-
OK! How? Derek V
