TAKES 10 SECONDS ... DO IT AND PASS IT ON
Own a Gun?    Please Keep This Moving
Guess they were not happy with the poll results the first time, so USA today is running another one... Vote now
Attorney General, Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues. He does not believe the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro- gun folks you know. Hopefully these results will be published later this month. This upcoming year will become critical for gun owners with the Supreme Court's accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to bear arms.
Here's what you need to do:

First - vote on this one.
Second- Send it to other folks and have THEM vote - then we will see if the results get published.

They may succeed in limiting magazine capacities, but I cant see it going much further than that.

The NRA has a ton of lobbying power.

Gun control should be left up to the individual state to handle on what works best for their population. What applies to California definitely wont apply to Georgia.

For the record, my definition or gun control is a 1" MOA.

Notice that in 1992 the United States had a violent crime rate of 757.7 per 100,000. The murder and non-negligent manslaughter rate was 9.3 per 100,000. When you consider the numbers, we are talking an extremely small percentage.

Nearly 20 years later, would you think that the United States violent crime has increased or decreased, especially in light of the fact that there are hundreds of millions of guns in our country? If you said “increased,” you are wrong, dead wrong.

I can't believe the America we live in today.

Biden suggests White House could act without Congress as part of gun control plan:
The White House has sought to avoid prejudging what Biden's recommendations would be. But the vice president hinted Wednesday that executive action -- action by the president in which Congress would not have a say -- would indeed be involved.

"There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken," Biden said, adding "we haven't decided what that is yet."

You boys missing it?

Yeup, Saw a base model AR which used to run for around $650.00 tagged for $2475.00 yesterday when I went to get powder and bullets for Saturday. Reloading still isn't bad though. ;D  I got 500 rds of .40S&W for $50.00. Absolutely no .223 Rem to be had however, so I'm stuck with what I got for now.

Feinstein Pushes 150 'Gun Bans'; Reid Defeated

Obama's bagman in the U.S. Senate - Democrat Harry Reid - failed to come up with the 51-votes he needed to crush Republican opposition by eliminating the 'filibuster'.

This is huge, because if Reid had been successful, it would've allowed him to ram-through Obama's anti-gun crusade, amnesty for illegals, or any other liberal fantasy.

Senate Republicans would be virtually powerless to stop him.

In fact, away from the TV cameras, Reid gloated that it was his "Nuclear Option" to crush Republican opposition to Obama's radical Second Term agenda.

But because of thousands of phone calls, faxes, and emails in the 'eleventh hour' by patriots like you, Reid was dealt a major blow.

Instead of "nuking", Reid cut a face-saving deal with Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

Here's Reid's surrender on the filibuster:

"I'm not personally, at this stage, ready to get rid of the 60-vote threshold". 

That's because we beat him like a drum, deluging his fellow liberal Democrat senators with emails, faxes, and phone calls by thousands.

Senate Republicans - as long as they can keep some of their own members in line - have a fighting chance against Obama's radical Second Term agenda.

So on behalf of freedom-loving Americans everywhere, thank you.

In fact, we can't thank you enough, because today liberal Sen. Diane Feinstein and the Democrats introduced the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2013".

"Feinstein said the country's 'weak' gun laws allow massacres like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occur", reports The Daily Caller.

This, in the first salvo of expected new 'gun-control' schemes, Feinstein's bill would institute "a government ban on more than 150 types of firearms, including rifles, pistols and shotguns".

Here's what Feinstein says:

"Getting this bill signed into law will be an uphill battle, and I recognize that - but it's a battle worth having,"

Let's be clear about one thing: Obama doesn't want to control guns; he wants the government to confiscate, and then eliminate your Constitutional gun rights.

And if you don't own a firearm, remember, this is not just about 'guns'.

It's about protecting every single American freedom we love and cherish.

Because if we don't fight back now against Feinstein, Reid, and the Democrats with everything we've got in the Congress, there'll be nothing to stop Obama from inflicting his far-left agenda on America for the next four years.

We need to be tough, resolute, and to fight back like never before.

Today was a victory, because of your support in the "eleventh hour".

Reid lost because he could not get enough of his own liberal Democrat Senators to back him on a power grab.

So thank you for all that you did to help defeat Reid's so-called "Nuclear Option".

Now let's make Obama, Reid, Feinstein, and the Democrats rue the day they disgustingly blamed the slaughter at Sandy Hook on law-abiding gun owners everywhere.

How dare they.

Even if there's any anti gun legislation proposed, it'll be political suicide for most of the Dems to vote for it as the last time they voted for a ban, quite a few of them got bounced out of office in the following elections.

There's a great audio podcast about guns and gun control by Freakonomics guru Steven Leavitt here:  http://www.freakonomics.com/2013/02/14/how-to-think-about-guns-a-new-freakonomics-radio-podcast/

If you don't want to listen to it, he brings up some cogent facts:

1) Mass shootings are incredibly rare.  2/3 of gun deaths overall are suicides.

2) A swimming pool in a house is 100x more dangerous to a child than a gun.

3) Those to whom guns are repugnant, and therefore want to ban them, will almost always associate with people of the same opinion.  Therefore the chance that one of these people will be killed by a gun are extremely remote.

4) Gun buybacks are stupidly inefficient in reducing gun deaths

5) The only realistic political method to reduce gun crime is adding mandatory additional jail time for all crimes committed with a gun.

6) Overall deaths can be reduced more effectively by targeting automotive deaths than gun deaths.

The same economist did a study that shows that violent crime levels, which decreased sharply after 1980, were a result of Roe v Wade.

Requireing it, I think is just a bridge too far. The GOV just can't seem to get over trying to tell people what to do.
 
BUT, I personally do insure all of mine through my normal auto insurance company. Just for the sake of covering my own hide. Not to mention it only adds like $3 or $4 to my monthly premium so to me it's well worth it and I highly recommend it. Again though, telling people they HAVE to is just plane out Bull sh!t.

What do you guys think about the traitor signing this?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/26/cause-for-concern-will-un-arms-trade-treaty-trample-on-us-gun-rights/

Secretary of State John Kerry signed an international treaty on arms regulation Wednesday

According to the treaty, the international sale of weapons would be linked to the human rights records of buyers; it requires the countries that sign on to establish regulations for selling weapons. This has raised concern that the treaty could be used as an excuse to push new gun laws.

But the treaty also advocates keeping data of arms purchases, which the NRA and other groups say could be used as an international log to keep tabs on gun owners.

The record-keeping section in the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) encourages members to "maintain records of conventional arms covered under Article 2," which include battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, warships and small arms and light weapons.

Further, those records should be kept for a minimum of 10 years, the treaty states -- which NRA leader Wayne LaPierre has referred to as "nothing more than gun registration by a different name."

Because the treaty's language is so broad, LaPierre has said that "manufacturers of civilian shotguns would have to comply with the same regulatory process as a manufacturer of military attack helicopters."

Chris Cox, the executive director for the group's Institute for Legislative Action, says the treaty "threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme."

Georgia: Historic Victory for the Second Amendment

Shortly before midnight last night, within the last hour before adjournment of the 2014 legislative session, House Bill 60 was agreed to in the state House of Representatives by a 112-58 vote and sent to Governor Nathan Deal (R) for his expected signature into law.

As previously reported, HB 60, as amended, had multiple transformations throughout this year’s session, and at one point was in real trouble of being watered down beyond repair.  Thankfully, your activism through repeated phone calls, e-mails and visits to the Capitol carried the day.  Your gun rights were not only preserved this year, but were restored and advanced further than they ever have in the history of the Peach State.  This truly is an historic day for Georgia gun owners, shooters and sportsmen.

Upon the Governor’s signature, HB 60 will enact the following pro-gun reforms for all law-abiding gun owners in Georgia:

Remove fingerprinting for renewal of Weapons Carry Licenses (WCL).
Prohibit the state from creating and maintaining a database of WCL holders.
Create an absolute defense for the legal use of deadly force in the face of a violent attack.
Lower the age to obtain a concealed WCL for self-defense from 21 to 18 for active duty military, with specific training.
Allows for the use of firearm sound suppressors while hunting.
Repeal the unnecessary and duplicative state-required license for a firearms dealer, instead requiring only a Federal Firearms License (FFL).
Prohibit a ban on firearms in public housing, ensuring that the right to self-defense should not be infringed based on where one calls home.
Codify the ability to legally carry, with a WCL, in sterile/non-secure areas of airports.
Require reporting those persons who have been involuntarily hospitalized or have been adjudicated mentally deficient to the NICS system while also providing the ability for relief through an application process to the court system allowing for restoration of gun rights.
State that under a declared state of emergency, all law-abiding gun owners will not have their Second Amendment rights restricted or infringed by executive authority through Emergency Powers protection.
Strengthen current firearms preemption statutes through further clarification of the regulatory authority of local governments, excluding firearm discharge ordinances.
Remove the sweeping restrictions on legally carrying a firearm with a WCL in bars, leaving this decision to private property owners.
Allowing for churches to opt-in for legal carry with only a civil penalty of a $100 if a person happens to carry into a prohibited church unknowingly.

This resounding victory must first and foremost be credited to our members, who tirelessly worked to ensure that passage of this bill was possible.  We also thank the following state lawmakers who went above and beyond this year and were critical in seeing this bill through to the end.  The NRA’s gratitude cannot be conveyed enough to the below state legislators for their unwavering support:

- House Speaker David Ralston (R-7)
- Representative Rick Jasperse (R-11), original bill sponsor
- Representative Alan Powell (R-32)
- Representative John Meadows (R-5)
- Representative Jay Roberts (R-155)
- Representative Mandi Ballinger (R-23)
- Representative Dusty Hightower (R-68)
- Representative Stephen Allison (R-8)
- President Pro Tem David Shafer (R-48)
- Senator Bill Heath (R-31), original bill sponsor
- Senator Tyler Harper (R-7)
- Senator Butch Miller (R-49)
- Senator Jeff Mullis (R-53)
- Senator Ross Tolleson (R-20)
- Senator Mike Dugan (R-30)
- Senator Jack Murphy (R-27)
- Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle

These elected men and women were critical to the passage of this important and significant pro-gun legislative package, not only with their votes but also with their outspoken support and actions throughout the entire 2014 session.  Your NRA would also like to thank the pro-gun group, Georgia Carry, for working alongside us to get this bill passed and sent to Governor Deal for his signature.

While we fully expect Governor Deal to sign HB 60 into law, please contact the Governor and politely ask that HB 60 receive his signature in the coming days.  Governor Deal can be reached at (404) 656-1776 and by e-mail here.

Please stay tuned to your e-mail inbox and www.nraila.org for further updates.

Guns in a bar & church?

The way I see it is, guns & alcohol do NOT mix. Sure it's fun to get lite & shoot at some targets AT HOME. But in a bar, come on. That's asking for trouble.

God will protect you in church & if not, I guess it's time to meet the maker. The only exception is if your church handles snakes. In those churches, it should be mandatory to carry.  //LMAO//

I've never seen therefore understood the logic behind that position.  Conceal carry folks aren't the folks to be concerned about. 

There is nothing to stop a convicted felon, from bringing a gun into a bar or a church, and when he pulls it I want there to be more than one conceal carry permit holder armed to take care of the problem.

The illegal action is the problem, and the legal action by responsible conceal carry holders is part of the solution.

Title: Re: Re: Gun Control Info Thread
Post by: clark123456 on March 23, 2014, 11:29:19 AM
I'll take a shot at the logic (pun intended), for keeping guns out of bars, regardless of a license.  The belief, as silly as it is, is that alcohol, which is served at bars, among other places, can hinder a normal person's self control (I have never seen this before (*rolling eyes* while thinking back to Pat O'Briens' in New Orleans twenty years ago)); therefore, if a non-criminal is carrying a gun, it is possible for the person to lose self control, after alcohol consumption at the bar, and shoot something or someone. 

Applied to Doug's logic, there is an opportunity for a greater number of people to lose self control and shoot something or someone.

I'm sure some people believe there is an opportunity for a greater number of people to have self control and apply their control to the criminal who is not exhibiting self control.
Title: Re: Re: Gun Control Info Thread
Post by: DOUG on March 23, 2014, 01:41:16 PM
You were slower than I thought lol.

No logic in that as it is based on a false principal that a conceal carry guy would ever have enough to drink to improperly react while carrying. Folks that carry are the most responsible folks in society.

The liberal mind does not trust the individual to make the right decisions and believes they or a society can make better decisions for others, and therefore freedom is lost a little at a time. 

Example for off roading.  The forest service felt that the usera could not maintain Tellico and cut us all out and never gave us a chance.

A conservative mind believes he is responsible for himself and his.  A liberal mind believes he is reasonable for everyone but himself.

In Virginia we were allowed to open carry without a permit, so long as you aren't legally permitted from doing so (felon etc). You had to have a permit to conceal carry, which you could basically do online. We could carry in bars, church's, etc.

Here I understand you need a permit to carry open or concealed. Still waiting to get my drivers license to start that process. Too bad Va and Ga can't see eye to eye.

I see open carry all the time. It's just people trying show off. I have never under stood open carry out in public when your running errands. I totally would open carry say out in the woods but in my opinion I don't want people knowing i am carrying

some open carry because they do not have a WCL but still want to exercise their 2nd right.
You still have to have a WCL to open carry. I do open carry. Thugs go for the easy mark. If they see a gun on your side they go somewhere else.

Sorry... I stand corrected, you DO need a WCL to open carry. My bad!

  As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago,  IL,  Gun Ban, I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a  civilized society.
    Interesting take and one you don't hear much... Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter.....
"The Gun Is Civilization"
By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
    Human beings only have two  ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force.
     Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.
    In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion.  Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
    When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force.  You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
    The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
    There are plenty of  people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations.  These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job.
    That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat - it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.
    People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
    Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury.  This argument is fallacious in several ways.
    Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
    People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones  don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst.
    The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
    The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter.  It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.
    When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone.   The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded.
    I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid.   It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation... And that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
    So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced.
    God Bless America
 Maj. L. Caudill USMC  (Ret.)

So the Sandy Hook commission is in and all they recommend more gun control.

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/03/robert-farago/sandy-hook-advisory-commission-releases-its-final-report/

Sandy Hook Advisory Commission Releases Its Final Report: 18 Gun Control Recommenations
By Robert Farago on March 6, 2015
Sandy Hook Elementary

Whenever a government agency releases information on a Friday afternoon you can bet that they’re trying to downplay bad or unpopular news. In the case of the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission’s 277-page final report, the document is roughly the same as the draft released last month – aside from 18 gun control recommendations (listed below). In the main, the report remains anti-gun in extremis. Before any discussion of Adam Lanza’s obvious untreated mental illness, it launches into a rant against gun ownership in general and “assault weapons” in specific. Like this [paragraph breaks added] . . .


United States civilians own or possess in excess of 300 million guns: as of 2009, they owned or possessed approximately 114 million handguns, million rifles and 86 million shotguns. The incidence of gun ownership/possession in the United States nearly one gun on average for every resident—is the highest in the world. Most guns are lawfully owned by law abiding persons who use them for recreational activities, such as hunting and target practice, and/or for self-defense. However, many guns are owned or possessed illegally or, even if legal, are used for unlawful purposes.

Beyond the sheer number of guns in the United States, the lethality of readily available firearms and ammunition continues to increase. The connection between the extent of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School and the lethality [their emphasis] of weapons used in the attack on the school is self-evident and beyond dispute.

The Commission is deeply concerned about the proliferation, throughout the civilian population, of weapons that were specifically designed for military use during wartime. ―Assault weapons‖ like the AR-15, as well as large capacity magazines often used with those weapons, have no legitimate place in the civilian population. The Commission finds that the cost to society of easy civilian access to assault weapons and large capacity magazines vastly outweighs the benefits of civilian ownership.

By contrast, the Commission finds that the significant benefit to society from eliminating civilian ownership and possession of assault weapons and large capacity magazines can be realized with only a minimal burden on persons who want to hunt, engage in target practice or use weapons for self-defense. They remain free to engage in those activities with a vast array of long guns and handguns.

In short, the Commission‘s first goal is simply to limit the possession and use of weapons designed for wartime use to members of our military services and law enforcement personnel.

And there I was thinking that the goal of the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission was to recommend effective ways to avoid or combat future school shootings. ‘Cause this ain’t it. It’s like trying to ban cars to eliminate drunk driving.

It gets worse. Instead of directly addressing the educational, social services and mental health systems’ repeated, abject and decade-long failure to address Adam Lanza’s obvious psychosis, the report makes general statements on how to improve these systems.

Rather than mine A.L.‘s life and interactions with particular mental health systems for insights into how those systems can better serve the state‘s children, however, the Commission had a different charge. It was tasked to study the systems themselves . . .

While discerning no clear answers to the question of what role A.L.‘s behavioral health challenges played in the violence he ultimately inflicted, the Commission nonetheless turns its attention to what we have learned about the role of mental disorder in violent events.

That’s like saying instead of examining the commanders’ and soldiers’ actions during a disastrous battle we should examine our military as a whole. Epic. Fail. No really. The Commission didn’t even try to address the central issues of active shooter prevention and, most importantly, appropriate reaction.

The Commission contends that, while it is not yet possible to prevent such events from taking place or to insulate people from the suffering that ensues, there is much that governments, schools and other institutions can do to facilitate an effective and humane response.

“Safe School Design” is all well and good, but institutionalizing Lanza or firing a bullet into his brain as he approached the school would have been extremely effective at preventing the Sandy Hook mass shooting. Sigh. I didn’t expect much from this politically correct exercise in post-facto security theater, but I sure hoped for more. Here are their inevitable, regrettable gun control proposals, none of which would have prevented Lanza’s onslaught.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 1. Mandatory background checks on the sale or transfer of any firearm, including long guns, at private and gun show sales. Status: Recommendation accepted and adopted by P.A. 13-3, § 1.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2. Require registration, including a certificate of registration, for every firearm. This certificate of registration should be issued subsequent to the completion of a background check and is separate and distinct from a permit to carry.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 3. Require firearms permits to be renewed on a regular basis. This renewal process should include a test of firearms handling capacity as well as an understanding of applicable laws and regulations. Status: Not adopted.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 4. Institute a ban on the sale, possession, or use of any magazine or ammunition feeding device in excess of 10 rounds except for military and police use. In proposing this recommendation, the Commission recognized that certain sporting events at times involve the use of higher capacity magazines. However, the consensus of the Commission was that the spirit of sportsmanship can be maintained with lower capacity magazines.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 5. Institute a ban on the possession or sale of all armor-piercing and incendiary bullets, regardless of caliber. First-time offenses should be classified as a Class D Felony.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 6. Allow ammunition purchases only for registered firearms.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 7. Evaluate best practices for determining the regulation or prohibition of the sale and purchase of ammunition via the Internet.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 8. Evaluate the effectiveness of federal law in limiting the purchase of firearms via the Internet to only those individuals who have passed the appropriate background screening.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 9. Limit the amount of ammunition that can be purchased at any given time.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 10. Prohibit the possession, sale or transfer of any firearm capable of firing more than 10 rounds without reloading. This prohibition would extend to military-style firearms as well as handguns. Law enforcement and military would be exempt from this ban.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 11. Require that trigger locks must be provided at the time of sale or transfer of any firearm

RECOMMENDATION NO. 12. Require that the state develop and update a ―best practices‖ manual and require that all firearms in a home be stored in a locked container and adhere to these best practices; with current minimum standards featuring a tamper-resistant mechanical lock or other safety (including biometric) device when they are not under the owner’s direct control or supervision. The owner should also be directly responsible for securing any key used to gain access to the locked container.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 13. Require non-residents seeking to purchase a firearm or ammunition in the State of Connecticut to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility and conform to all other regulations applicable to Connecticut residents.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 14. Require gun clubs to report any negligent or reckless behavior with a firearm, or illegal possession of any firearm or magazine, to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Commissioner of Public Safety, and local law enforcement.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 15. Requiring promoters of gun shows to receive a permit from the Chief of Police or Chief Elected Official as well as provide notice to the Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 16. Require that any shell casing for ammunition sold or possessed in Connecticut have a serial number laser etched on it for tracing purposes.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 17. Any person seeking a license to sell, purchase or carry any type of firearm in the state should be required to pass a suitability screening process.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 18. To allow, at a judge’s discretion, the opportunity to temporarily remove any firearms, ammunition, and carry permits from a person who is the subject of an ex parte restraining order, civil protection order or family violence protective order, at the time of the issuance of that order. The Commission believes that the time period between the ex parte request and the issuance of a full restraining order, civil protection order or family violence protective order, constitutes a period of critical danger, one that must be recognized under law and addressed via judicial discretion.

10 round mags except for military and law enforcement - you can just carry more mags  but the cops will reload less
Limit the amount of ammo - just go to multiple stores, send your friends etc
Locks and storage - you cannot enforce what goes on inside a person's home
Serial numbers on the cases can be filed off just like on a gun.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it makes sense.  Looks like a botched drill.

IF they couldn't have bought a gun they would have used their RC car bomb anyway. Wene somone wants do harm they will find a way. They still got to die for their belief. "Give me your tired poor huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the hopeless, tempest-toosed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" If gun control is such a concern shouldn't we be just as concerned about who we allow in our country to become Americans. It seems that some of the people coming here now are not coming to embrace the qualities, traditions, and principles that America stands for. They don't want to become an American they want to live in America, partake of our freedoms and prosperity, and try to impose their culture on our way of life.

they have been going full force since it happend.     walked in on a conversation during lunch in the break room, and a few guys where saying how does a CC permit help in this situation.   I mentioned when someone is shooting from a distance with high ground, cover or escape is the best defensive move, but had the idiot be at ground level in the crowd.  pretty sure things would be different, thats why a CC is useful.   this guy passed several back ground checks, ...  heck even a seal said, u dont have to be good from that high up to rack up a good kill rate.. just spray...   

apparently, the guy in the room below called when the glass was broken.. . an hour later it was over.  they are now saying when a security gard approached the door he got shot, and shortly after that he killed himself, but still took .... police a while to get to the room. 

the seal said maybe someone with a sniper rifle could have helped,but thats all conjecture at this point.   the guy had alot of $$$ and been stocking up guns was on some kind of anti depressent drugs.  who knows.  im sure they will find some more reasons.   

I just think it funny the libtards that think banning guns would prevent any of this.  "fake-news" .

Seriously though, if the alleged gunman had wanted to kill anyone, let alone hunderds all he had to do is walk/drive 500 feet to the airport, get in one of his TWO planes & nose dive in the crowd.
If the plane was packed with ammonia nitrate & full of fuel he could have killed hundreds. But he chose to use guns instead.

No theories on types of guns. Police say they found 11 semi auto ar type rifles with bumpfire stocks. I believe i heard originally they were .223 and .308. The distance ive heard is 300 to 400 yards. Neither of these rounds would have any issues with that distance. Why is something not adding up? For a crowd that size its probably equivalent to shooting a 10x10 wall at 25 yards. 
Title: Re: Gun Control Info Thread

The distance was 445 yards. Its been said a .22 can be lethal at that range. I can personally hit a 10 inch plate @ 300 yards & open sights on a gun that was brand new to me.
I could definitely hit 60+ targets out of 22k @ 450 yards spraying a AR with a bump fire or crank fire apparatus.
Its very doable & I am a shitty shot.

The distance was 445 yards. Its been said a .22 can be lethal at that range. I can personally hit a 10 inch plate @ 300 yards & open sights on a gun that was brand new to me.
I could definitely hit 60+ targets out of 22k @ 450 yards spraying a AR with a bump fire or crank fire apparatus.
Its very doable & I am a shitty shot.
Yep...that's what I've heard, too ~450.  Kell said a quarter mile, but she was wrong.

Enjoy a few words of tactical firearm wisdom:

- Don’t forget, incoming fire has the right of way.

- I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

- If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That’s ridiculous. If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid about.

- Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets.

- I may get killed with my own gun, but he’s going to have to beat me to death with it, cause it’s going to be empty.

- The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

- Shoot what’s available, as long as it’s available, until something else becomes available.

- When you reload in low light encounters, don’t put your flashlight in your back pocket… If you light yourself up, you’ll look like an angel or the tooth fairy…and you’re going to be one of them pretty soon.

- Don’t shoot fast, shoot good.

- You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it.

- Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

- An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

Thats ok, instead of reading and knowing the fact that they even ran the story, knowing its hanging by a thread.  NRA is not going anywhere, if it was, u would see it on more stations and get more traction, but my Ignorance, tells me to not be sucked into obscure news i read from a site thats know for leaning so far to the crazy side that most if not all of the storys are so liberal its past being funny.    being ignorant is not about reading something, its about spending time to understand an obscure news story that no other creditable site is making this like OMG! this is news. . tends to lean its crap from a site that has a long history of running crap.  it works both ways.  FOX can do the same thing as can other leaning sites..   i did read it, but made a call based on other factors.   i didnt think i needed to explain my self.  i will try and be more helpful in the future so as not to confuse u.  ;)

Sorry, but hate all you want. The bumpstocks are the dumbest shit on earth and shouldve never been produced or sold to begin with, even though there is zero proof the shooter in vegas even had one. The govt shouldve spent the time to change the law pertaining to them and make them NFA IMO, not just a simple ban. BUT..  Dont be Nay-Trumpers (thats some simple bandwagon BS) just because he is giving the Dems and snowflakes one little win, he had to do something to shut them up for the time being. I hardly call this a shift from right to left, more of a pressure release.  If anything, blame the NRA for not spending money the way they should and lobbying like they used to with a hard stance against taking anything guns rights related.  Lets just enjoy our rights we still have while we still have them for the next couple years and stop with all the bullshit party division and be AMERICANS again.

Being detained & having your property seized before a crime occurs seems to go against the constitution.

Very well said Justin.

Trump also said on camera pertaining to the new red flag laws,
"take the guns first & then go thru the due process ".

Being detained & having your property seized before a crime occurs seems to go against the constitution.
If you can believe it, Trump changed his position on that statement pretty soon after he said it.  I know, unbelievable, but true.

I agree to an extent. and we are all Americans. The surprise for me was that this was started under Obama's watch and continued and signed off on by Trumps. Which is odd because he's done everything he could to remove Obama's influence.
Obama did more for gun sales than Trump. Under Trump sales have fallen because everyone feels safer. I'm sure the gun industry is secretly pulling for another Democrat to drive sales back up.

Sorry, but hate all you want. The bumpstocks are the dumbest shit on earth and shouldve never been produced or sold to begin with, even though there is zero proof the shooter in vegas even had one. The govt shouldve spent the time to change the law pertaining to them and make them NFA IMO, not just a simple ban. BUT..  Dont be Nay-Trumpers (thats some simple bandwagon BS) just because he is giving the Dems and snowflakes one little win, he had to do something to shut them up for the time being. I hardly call this a shift from right to left, more of a pressure release.  If anything, blame the NRA for not spending money the way they should and lobbying like they used to with a hard stance against taking anything guns rights related.  Lets just enjoy our rights we still have while we still have them for the next couple years and stop with all the bullshit party division and be AMERICANS again.



I agree with 99% of what you said.

The 1% is, in crime scene photos, that’s a bumpstock on that rifle on the floor.

They are stupid and I don’t own one because of that so I’m not upset about the item itself, rather the principle, potentially slippery slope, and lack of anything from the NRA.  Join GOA if you want to protect your 2A rights.

Saw a video of a fat guy bouncing the rifle off his stomach. Same effect, but without owning an illegal mod

I stand corrected, I hadnt searched honestly. I will say this, you can do the exact same thing, function wise, without a bump stock if you know how to hold the rifle, and its even easier with an AK.

Agreed.  Here’s the one I built in Vegas couple months ago and had some upgrades done.  Unfortunately it was lost in a recent boating accident...

Ouch...Texas gunman had been ruled 'mentally unfit' to buy firearms, used loophole on background check: report

https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-odessa-gunman-mentally-unfit-buy-firearms-gun-law-loophole-background-check

The suspected mass shooter, Seth Aaron Ator, 36, appeared to have taken advantage of a loophole in federal gun law by purchasing the AR-type assault rifle used in the rampage at a private person-to-person gun sale, effectively bypassing a background check. Under Texas state law, background checks are not required in private sales, according to the Texas Tribune.

It's not the law, but in my opinion a seller should only be selling to those who are able to buy/currently have a ccw or equivalent license

I know in the sate of Georgia if you sell to known felons or "those known to not legally posses firearms" you can be held liable. An Alpharetta police Sargent is spending prison time for it..

For the average seller though, there is no way to know for sure if someone will pass a background check.  The cop in Alpharetta was trafficing guns to known felons.  If I sell a gun to @patman and I have no idea he is a convicted felon, I cannot be held liable. 

I’ve sold many guns over the years.  Back in the day if you wanted to sell a gun, you put a classified ad in the newspaper.  If I didn’t get a good vibe from the buyer, I didn’t sell it.  I usually made them show me their driver’s license and wrote down their information.  I still have them all in a file.
