Try obtaining a ccw here in CA.What plethora of regulations? If anything they are less regulated now. More places allow open carry and concealed weapon permits are easier to get. I can get a handgun in two weeks just like I could back in1991. I can't get a 15 round magazine in calif. Anymore.
I don't worship guns, you silly little man; why I don't even own one, but I believe you do. No?rubato wrote:What plethora of regulations? If anything they are less regulated now.

And since when are security guards guaranteed the ability to buy an m-16?
You worship guns and treat them like sacred objects.
Sounds painful. Did y'all run out of space in your gun safes?...dales wrote: We as an extended family own gunz up the wazoo!
An Islamic preacher who has called for gay people to be executed gave sermons in Orlando just weeks before the Pulse nightclub massacre.
Farrokh Sekaleshfar - a British-born doctor and Muslim scholar - has gained a following by urging Muslims to 'get rid of' homosexuals.
And in April, he took his speech titled 'How to deal with the phenomenon of homosexuality' to the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, just outside Orlando, Florida.
Two months later, 29-year-old Omar Mateen carried out the worst massacre in US history by opening fire on a gay club in the same city.
Mateen's father has said he believes the attack was motivated by his son's homophobia.
Y'know, I always thought the suffix "-phobia" meant "fear" ... like in arachnophobia, agoraphobia, acrophobia, claustrophobia, orphidiophobia, or even triskaidekaphobia. But this seems to go much further, past the bounds of fear to the outright despising of homosexuals. I feel we need a new word.Gob wrote:Mateen's father has said he believes the attack was motivated by his son's homophobia.
An Italian Roman Catholic bishop gave a homily last Sunday saying the same thing. Are we going to start turning back Catholics at the border in case one of them decides to put the bishop's words into action?An Islamic preacher who has called for gay people to be executed gave sermons in Orlando just weeks before the Pulse nightclub massacre.

Do you mean fully automatic, or do you think all guns should require reloading after each single shot like my grandfather's .22 Winchester? My son will probably pass that 112 year old gun on to one of his children. None have hit the age at which him or me first shot it.MajGenl.Meade wrote: OTOH, I think I'd be fine with a ban on semi-automatic pistols and long arms.
No need to go from one extreme to the other; there are other ways to get a second round into the chamber than a gas or spring recoil and return that happens each time (and as fast as) one pulls the trigger. There's bolt action like on the German Mauser K98k rifles of WWII or my own Marlin .22, lever action like on the Winchester carbines found in the saddle scabbards of just about every western movie ever made, or pump action like the old Remington model 870s. And yes, there's still always "break open and reload" like the old sporting shotguns of the British aristocracy of the 19th and early 20th century.MGMcAnick wrote:Do you mean fully automatic, or do you think all guns should require reloading after each single shot like my grandfather's .22 Winchester?

We're not "gun nuts" but we do own a few. I've never bought a gun. All three of my guns were inherited.

As I have repeatedly said, the point is exactly to change it. By now, the entire fucking country should be so fucking sick and fucking tired of fucking gun crimes to finally get up on their fucking hind legs and shout E-FUCKING-NOUGH!!!!!MajGenl.Meade wrote:That may be so, Guin. But thus far, owning guns is a right and I doubt that will change (much).
