Because it's amusing to me how easy it is for someone with little knowledge to shoot holes in the arguments of the most hard core gun nuts. Plus it helps me understand how we have devolved to the point we now find ourselves.
While it does nothing for weapons already out for the most part I dont know why biometrics arent being pushed by the left. Literally tying a weapon to its owner is a powerful and interesting technology and Ive always wondered why the left doesnt push harder on it.
See, your gun knowledge is deluding you into thinking that your opinion is correct. How many deer rifles have been used in mass casualty events in the last 5 years? The last thing you desire is a reasonable debate. It's much easier to hide behind your superior knowledge of guns and use that as a basis to convince yourself that your opinions are more valid.
the left doesn't want them safer. They want them gone.
For that faction I agree with you. But if any of them want serious debate Id like to hear proposals on it. If a method to retrofit the technology is found Id probably pay to do it.
I am 100% for responsible gun ownership and could get behind stuff like this if done correctly. But they just ignore it time after time...🤔
Would be a good step but it would also have pitfalls.
Very difficult to fix a culture problem with laws and/or technology.
Dont disagree at all. But hell it should at least be discussed. At least its a new approach.
And yeah any technology can be defeated in cases like this. Maybe thats the reason, in the end its added expense with neblible impact. But I see so little on the topic ever brought up.
Yet another typical liberal response...
"We need to do SOMETHING!"
Doing something for the sake of doing something got us the Patriot Act.
That is absolutely an apples and oranges comparison. The patriot act and my suggestion are completely different.
Granted both are intended to make America safer for our families and friends. Of course if you are oppose to a safer America, tell me what you'd propose rather than just making an unconstructive statement.
I tried debating this issue with you months age when I first came to the political forum. I realized quickly that my lack of gun knowledge (especially compared to yours) was going to delegitimize my opinions and positions in the minds of most.
Many posters on here have spent lots of time building the case to support their beliefs. There is nothing I, nor anyone else can say to change their opinion.
Off the cuff, I would say ban everything but basic hunting rifles and shotguns. Maybe have some special process that is very well regulated where people can get a handgun. I would ban anything that has the capability of firing multiple rounds in a short period of time. I would put a limit on the number of guns that could be purchased in a given time frame. I know nothing about ammunition, but anything that can penetrate armor should probably be banned. Anything designed to cause great damage to the body (and is not legitimately used for hunting) should probably be banned.
