Why do a majority of non gun owners get to say anything about gun ownership???

Like abortion???

Quoted:
When the Dems get in power again, they'll ban new sales, and make it illegal to sell, transfer, or inherit existing guns.  Once the current owner dies, you're required to turn them in for destruction.  And they'll require registration, so it can be enforced.

And they'll make current ownership difficult for existing owners.   Illegal to take across state lines, yearly registration fees, etc.

Sure, there will be plenty that are off the radar at first, but it will dwindle.  3D printing may offset that, if you can get around the required programming in all 3D printers to refuse to print gun parts. But you'll have to keep them hidden.

There is always a way to try to cram the genie back in the bottle.

I hope Anderson and PSA keep selling all the low cost low quality items they possibly can.  I want to see these numbers going up, up, up, up for this exact reason.

Ban all semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns; only revolvers, bolt-action rifles and double-barrel shotguns would be legal.

Offer twice the MSRP of any newly banned weapon ($2K for an AR or AK; same for a high-end semi-auto pistol or rifle).  If there are 15-million AR/AK platforms, that would work out to $30-billion (how much did we spend on the Iraq war)?

The folks who own these things -- in the bush-belt, the bubba-belt, the bible-belt, the venison-belt, the fenatnyl belt -- they could probably use the cash to buy/replace all their banned weapons with some really nice hunting rifles, revolvers and shotguns, and still come away with lots of money in their pocket.

Bolt-action rifles, revolvers and double-barrel shotguns don't take high-capacity magazines; after two, four or six shots, you need to reload.  No bolt-action rifle, revolver or double-barrel shotguns are capable of producing the kind of carnage we've seen in Columbine, Orlando, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, El Paso or Dayton.

And here's the beauty of it: nobody's right to keep and bear arms would be infringed.  People would be prevented from buying and/or owning semiautomatic firearms the same way they are prevented from buying or owning hand grenades, mortars and Stinger surface-to-air missiles.

There would be a one-year grace period to sell the newly banned guns back.  After that time, you face time.

Common sense gun control -- what's wrong with that?"

We as a nation cured ourselves of slavery, at great cost and with residual problems but we did it.  We can cure ourselves of this blood lust by calling out these weapons for what they are and expressing our disgust as a society for those without the moral courage to act decisively to get these murder weapons out of our society.  We should no longer tolerate the very idea of supporting weapons for mass murder, it should become as repugnant as child sexual abuse, just totally unacceptable in civil society."

Sure, military style weapons will be here in the long term.  But outlawing their manufacturing and promoting buy-back programs can make a significant dent in their numbers. That alone will save lives.

And sure, cultural changes are needed too.  Remember when smoking cigarettes was considered "cool?"  Then it wasn't, and rates dropped markedly.  What if the same thing happened with guns?

For instance, if women refused to date men who are
gun-focused (that would include all who have assault type weapons). That might help.  Let's face it: the shooters are overwhelmingly male.  These gun guys typically have arsenals and often wouldn't think about leaving home without "packing heat." Shun them.  Yes, it's no magic bullet, but it might prevent a few tragedies."

My take:  Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.  So, shoot  your AR's all you want, there's plenty more where they came from.

Yes today AR's are the most popular type of gun sold I believe. The irony of it is they weren't very popular at all until they tried to ban them. The banners created a monster, let pandora out of her box so to say and there is no going back.

This has to be one of the dumbest things they do (and that's out of a huge pile of other dumb stuff they do).

Every time they bleat about a ban, literally millions more semi-autos fly off the gun store wall...

I think a railgun could be done at home, thing what a BB running at 20 or 30 thousand feet per second would do to a target, even limited life the shots it would shoot would mist a target.
