Are you for or against more gun regulations?

Question

hellionthesagereborn · Accepted Answer

By law every single gun regulation is illegal no exception. So no, the idea is as idiotically stupid as it is illegal (not that legality has ever stopped the government before).

Philyouup · Accepted Answer

I’m for back ground checks and waiting periods.

razelove · Answer

I don't think anyone is after your ruger 10/22 or tanning mask lol. I'm for dropping all the gun laws. I've thought and thought about it, and that's the only way to get actual "common sense" gun laws, those that want gun laws, and those that own guns are about equal, demand all gun laws be abolished on one side, unilaterally. New crew served machine guns on sale for $5000, no tax, no background check, no FFL.

Actually make the anti-gun side fight for once to keep a federal law rather than pass a new one. States already pass the gun legislation they think makes the most sense. If say you eliminate the tax and paperwork for silencers on a federal level, do you think every state is going to simply allow them to be sold unregulated? Same with machineguns, or crew served weapons. Actually it's cheaper now to go for illegal crew served weapons than ones sold in the US. Federal law has it so crew served machineguns made after 1980 can't be sold, whatever ones were owned then are the only ones in legal circulation, their price will continue to climb.

Buy a few in another country to simply ship back in barrels of cosmoline and you've brought back something for far cheaper than $10,000 which is about the starting point for machineguns. Anyway, nice picture, if somewhat confusing...

jgokgotit · Answer

I am against more gun regulations, with one exception. I do believe people should be taught how to handle, clean, properly load and fire a weapon. While waiting on the background check to return, the gun dealer could take 30 minutes to watch the person shoot the weapon they wish to purchase, fix any issues they see and show the customer how to properly clean and load the weapon. This would give the customer the basic familiarity with the weapon they need and help address any poor markmanship issues the customer may have picked up.

Beyond the tiny crash course I mentioned, I am against more gun regulations. The laws we have are already sufficient. Criminals are going to break the law, no matter the number of laws or the consequences of the laws. More laws will not change the nature of criminals. The background checks gun stores conduct (every state has some form of background check) are the same ones law enforcement can conduct. Changes in background checks will not prevent people slipping through the cracks. Also, making more regulations will only restrict the people who obey the law while putting them at a further disadvantage when defending themselves from criminals. The time to make gun regs would have been during the nation's founding. It is simply too late for gun regs to make a difference because the wrong hands already have the guns.

Well, say if i was an American born and raised (with my current logic intact here even), i'd be a constitutional Republican. In other words, by-the-book. If the constitution says a right to bear (or bare) arms, that's the law or even the supreme law. And the courts usually or are binded by that. Ah well. In my humble opinion. I'm against. Lol.

Vickymoore9 · Answer

I don’t think we need more gun regulations I think we should imposed the death penalty for people who commit a crime with a weapon on their body. I think we need to put people who are in possession of a fire arm illegally in federal prison for a life sentence. I think a minor in possession of a weapon should be in prison for 20 years no less and the owner of the weapon put in prison for life. You impose punishments like that your going to cure the root of gun violence. How many these little punks in Chicago and Detroit get busted with a gun and turned back around and out the door. The problem isn’t people who hunt and work a normal job and have a weapon for home protection. There is a reason we need guns in civilian hands and it’s to over throw a politicians who are destroying our country. That’s why democraps want to take away guns from citizen because they know we would take them out.

Roxxy99 · Answer

Against. We literally have hundreds of gun laws on the books already. They usually serve to disadvantage the law abiding citizen because criminals don’t follow gun regulations. They purchase guns illegally and use them as they see fit. If you think about it, what regulation has ever made a measurable difference with gun violence in this country?

Zeldaismyqueen · Answer

America needs way way more gun regulations. If you see this picture and not think that america has serious problem with guns and gun culture, then I think you are brainwashed:

matchrestore · Answer

For. The number of accidental deaths due to unsecured and loaded guns found by children should be enough to have people demanding regulations requiring that guns be locked up. If you're worried about quick access during a burglary, etc, there biometric locks for bedside self-defense weapons that don't require a key or code, just touching the latch. There is no excuse for leaving guns unsecured.

Massageman · Answer

There are far too many gun "control" laws NOW which do more to hinder lawful-gun-using citizens than to allow fair prosecution of the unlawful ones. They aren't enforced. Perhaps if the judges wouldn't let "first timers" - or second timers - or third timers- etc. off the proverbial hook, maybe illegal gun ownership might become less desirable. Chicago has (perhaps arguably) the most restrictive gun laws in the United States. Heck in 2015, gun shops in Chicago were outlawed. So of course what city in the US has the highest gun murder stats? Three guesses and the first two don't count.  Even Bullwinkle knows- funny how that works, huh?

Iron_Man · Answer

I’m for having handguns and rifles for home protection but I’m not for caring around guns concealed weapons and carrying guns in your car because one little argument turns into death. I’d rather fight with your bare fist and live to fight another day. I hear news reports all the time somebody’s shooting somebody in the streets over a dispute a parking dispute or at the drive-through at McDonald’s etc etc over little arguments. You don’t shoot people over little arguments or anything else for that matter

slatyb · Answer

In the US? For. To buy a gun people should have to take a safety course and get a license. Then they should have to prove that they have secure gun storage in their home. Then they can buy a gun. This will at least slow down the angry young men.

Jjpayne · Answer

Nice pic! I'm impartial to it. I understand the pride and right to guns but I also acknowledge that they are dangerous too and she be used properly and respectfully

Anpu23 · Answer

The only gun regulation I support is a national registry of those opposed to gun regulations. Readily available to anyone looking for an easy victim. I suppose that might change a few peoples minds...

worldscolide · Answer

I for background checks... But that is it, no other regulation needed.

The_Maphio · Answer

As I have already stated, guns shouldn't be regulated any more than what they are, but discipline about their usage should be taught by schools and/or government. Once again I urge you to take a look at the Swiss' method and see how well it could work for a country of wannabe Rambos such as the US.
But that's too much government for the land of the free I suppose, so I don't really care if they don't.

Floppy2112 · Answer

Yup. Gun laws are meant to oppress. Why do the cities with the most gun restrictions, highest gun crimes rates? ‘ cause gun laws don’t work. They do the opposite of make people safe.

Elliegirl · Answer

I’m against more regulations. I actually wouldn’t be opposed to less gun regulations.

cth96190 · Answer

I am against. In the case of the USA, all gun laws are unconstitutional. The meaning of “... shall not be infringed” is clear.

exitseven · Answer

Where I live there is a law that gives a mandatory jail sentence for possession of an unregistered firearm. This law is never enforced because it is mostly gang bangers who get arrested for it and it would be racist to put them in jail.
If they won't enforce the laws we already have then we do not need any new ones.

najekim · Answer

There are way too many useless "gun control" laws out there all ready. They're all ignored by criminals anyway.

If you want good and effective laws, repeal all "gun control" laws since the 2nd Amendment and let the firearm owners come up with them since 90% of laws were made because of political knee-jerk reactions to unfortunate events that had nothing to do with firearms themselves.

MasterOfReality · Answer

Against. Guns are not the problem. Mental health and our society are the problem. Actually, they don’t enforce the laws that are on the books as it is. And actually, we are allowed anything available to the military per the 2A. All “laws” restricting them are in fact, unconstitutional. The purpose of the 2A is as recourse for a tyrannical government. Hunting, self protection, etc are great side benefits, but this is the primary reason for the 2A.

jerdanro · Answer

Just an side. That picture is sexy as hell. I think we have plenty of regulations. We need to get better at enforcement.

Leavesbound · Answer

I think that for the most part we have enough regulations for guns. However we might want to start regulating some people.

DocJones · Answer

Against. Putting more restrictions on law abiding gun owners isn't going to stop the criminals from using guns illegally. Hell banning guns won't stop the criminals. Also more discussion should be directed at what makes someone decide to go nutso and shoot a bunch of people.

msc545 · Answer

Against. It won't change anything at all, except that it will cost more money.

HawkPerception · Answer

I'm born and raised in Canada. I believe there we should allow guns though... provided age restrictions are in effect and everyone is PSYCHOLOGICALLY TESTED beforehand.

Grond21 · Answer

Against them. They never do what they are promised to do. They only hamstring good people from protecting themselves

Shihab91 · Answer

I don't live in the USA but I guess yes however more importantly people must change because even with law there still will be illegal ways to get a gun

vald9inches · Answer

I am personally against more gun regulations. I would hate to see the US become a dictatorship because they took everyone's guns away

Steinkopf · Answer

Less (Germany). Switzerland has liberal gun laws and don't have any issues. Shootings seem to be an American thing.

zagor · Answer

The people are the problem, not the guns. You could always rent a truck and kill as many people as you could shoot by ramming a crowd.

blondfrog · Answer

We should just lock them away against mentally unstable people. Try telling that to a republican though and they will still say no everyone should have rights to guns.
