Mainecat Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) In 1934, Congress passed and President Roosevelt signed the National Firearms Act (NFA), which didn’t outlaw even one single gun. Instead, it put a tax on automatic weapons, sawed-off shotguns, and a variety of other weapons of war. That’s all it took to stop the slaughter...None of the weapons listed in the NFA are “illegal.” But they are under control...To be eligible to pay the tax, you must first acquire a Federal Firearms License...Step one is to fill out an application with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which you can find here. You pay a fee that can range from $30 to $3000 (most are $200 for fully automatic weapons, a number that hasn’t changed since 1934), provide a photo, and submit your fingerprints...After you’ve been checked out, you’ll be called in for an in-person interview with an ATF Industry Operations Investigator, who will vet you for ownership of your very own fully automatic machine gun...There were no gun buy-back programs back in the 1930s, and nobody went door-to-door confiscating guns....But once everybody understood that it was illegal to sell or possess an automatic or sawed-off weapon of war without first getting a license and paying the tax, they simply started to disappear from the American scene (outside of licensed shooting ranges like today). https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/national-firearms-act Edited May 8, 2023 by Mainecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 The founding fathers are rolling in their graves watching America twist their words from the 1700's to claim a right to kill fellow citizens. It's almost as bad as people clinging to the bible because it works for their personal beliefs. Until Americans can ALL admit there is a gun problem not a mental health problem nothing will change. Every Country in the world has people with serious mental issues. America takes it to a whole other level. Why is that?? Muh rights!!!!

SkisNH Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Evil people will find a way to kill...if it's not an ar15 it's a remmington woodsmaster. If we take away guns, they will use knives. If we take away the knives they will use arson. If we take away fire they will use a car....and so on. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many legal gun owners in this country? 80-90 million.... Why infringe on their rights when it's 200 people fucking it up. I don't know the answer, but I'm not giving up my weapons. I've done nothing wrong. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I would think it would be easier in an elementary situation which is what is being discussed and probably lead to a lot more deaths, knifes aren't that loud when used, easier to conceal than a rifle..

I don't. I'd have no issue attacking someone with a knife if I was unarmed to defend the masses. If they have a gun that's different story.

And no, I do not speak from experience, but I have it directly from those who have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the fuck is gun control going to stop killings. You’d have to be a god damned absolute retard to think it will. Either eliminate every single gun or leave them all alone. A sawed off 12ga and a bag full of buckshot is 10x more dangerous than an AR 15 Edited May 8, 2023 by f7ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technically 1 gun per person would satisfy that. See what I did there. 39 minutes ago, SkisNH said: Evil people will find a way to kill...if it's not an ar15 it's a remmington woodsmaster.

Sure carry 10 4 shot magazines and hope that POS doesn't jam up on the first shot. As for the rest I guess that's why there is mass killings daily all over the world from cars,knives, fire. Great point!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a cruel shitty world.
