I remodel an apartment Bldg and they want me to have like 37 exits to meet the fire code, and now we are going to 1 door at schools?!

This kid bought a gun, passed a background check. A few days later, bought another gun. Passed another background check. Buying 2 guns in such a short timeframe triggered some alarm, so ATF did their own background check. Passed that too. 3 background checks in a week, all passed. Red...

Why (& & when & how) did voluntary turn into mandatory in your scenario? Did we just make up a new fact pattern? That would never pass. What if every gun owner went into a movie theater and started unloading? What if the queen grows a ****? Is she now the king? See how this make-it-up-as-you-go...

Again, I believe the vast majority of gun owners have nothing to hide, and would have no issue with registering their firearms. I don't see any reason why they would not do so, and I saw no relevant retort from you... unless you consider "rewrite the whole constitution" to be relevant. It is...

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Frustrated onlookers urged police officers to charge into the Texas elementary school where a gunman’s rampage killed 19 children and two teachers, witnesses said Wednesday, as investigators worked to track the massacre that lasted upwards of 40 minutes and ended when the...

Because so many guns are not registered, or are not currently owned by, or in the possession of, the original owner. Registration is a way to take inventory of what is out there on said date. Again, are you really going back to the constitutional argument? It is a cop-out, IMO. We don't know...

I think most Americans, including gun owners, would disagree. Most people that own guns have nothing to hide. In fact, aren't most new purchases tracked already? Isn't that how guns are traced back to the purchaser? I don't really see why this would be an issue that is more important...

If it is voluntary, is it confiscation? Can't we just take those surrendered weapons and give them to the black ops middle eastern/african militias we are already arming, rather than giving them new **** paid for by the US taxpayer?

In my hypothetical, if Senator BenicioDelToro comes to Senator scrantoncane and says "I would support your bill if you would pull out the part about registering the guns," then Senator scrantoncane would say "you have a deal." And Senator scrantoncane would tell his contemporaries and...

I was shooting from the hip. Why did I lose you there? The inability of someone that disagrees (you, in this case) and can't "reach across the aisle" (as I put it) to air their grievances, is exactly what I was referring to in my post. Instead of saying "you had me until this", tell me why I...

Should we not continue cancer research because it won't prevent ALL cancer deaths, but merely SOME cancer deaths? (Just messing with you.. you love to answer a question with a rhetorical question :ROFLMAO:)

Here's one of my main issues: the inability of people to cross the aisle. I consider myself a left-leaning independent, but certainly a moderate/centrist. I belive there are things that both parties do right and do wrong. I can't help but feel that too many people's opinions are shaped by what...

Then why not legalize heroin, crack, grenades, etc? If the old “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument is applied, should everything just be free will? Or do pro-gun guys just shape the argument to fit their stance/agenda?

And you can build your own gun, even if we were to 100% outlaw all guns. The idea isn’t to stop it 100%; it is to make it as difficult as possible for these people to succeed.

These companies like FB and Apple don’t allow profiling, for (probably rightful) fear of a slippery slope.

Don’t you get flagged if you try to buy materials used to build a bomb? I can’t even buy Sudafed without showing my ID. oh come on. I’ve seen pictures of some of these shooters. In a life or death situation, let them have the knife. I’m slowing them down enough that, even if they get me, they...

I just posted something similar to this, but this is far more eloquently stated. You can't just start putting people on watchlists or going through their search histories. And even if you could, there wouldn't be enough staff to effectively monitor/do anything about it.

But isn't that what I just said? Hey, lets keep guns because he would've found another way anyways? Dog chasing its tail. Idk. Those red flag laws prevent known criminals and mentally ill from getting guns. But if you have no police record, what do they really do? I would also think that any...

But isn't the "criminals will get them anyways" argument just a cop-out to not do anything? Throw our arms up and say "we're ****ed anyways" or "fix mental health"? (As an aside, I would like to see how the nationwide segment of gun owners overlaps with people that would be okay with their...

I agree with you. However, I can respect the Federalist Society types that argue for the text of the Constitution to control. At some point, the legislature needs to do its job and take it out of the hands of the courts (who are tasked with trying to interpret the intent, as you stated). The...
