Badger** Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) My wife and I will be going to my nephew's wedding in August down in North Carlina and she really wanted to drive and see the sites but we are still working out the details. I will be carrying a gun with me and I never thought I would ever be saying that. March I drove down to southern Illinois and I am pretty sure someone shot my truck and I still have not fixed the damage, I will get the truck fixed when I get back from the wedding. The truck was hit in the tailgate, at the time I was going 73 MPH when I heard the hit, it came in at about a 10-15 deg angle and across the face of the Ram logo then dug into the tailgate and ricocheted off. It's sad this country has come to this. Edited May 9, 2023 by Badger** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not vehicles. You alway point to guns. Common denominator is a person wanting to kill somebody. If that is their unfortunate plan they will find a method. If only we could ban them or at least put them on a registry so we know who they are. Maybe tax them more and write more laws to control them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up with the latest at the shopping mall. The school is old news FFS. I brought the school where all the faggot ass cops stood around for an hour while children were summarily and repeatedly executed under their nose.

XCR1250 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Even if they made it 100% illegal to own guns the bad guys will still keep theirs and it's pretty simple to 3D print almost anything including firearms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Guns are running like a Ponzi scheme. “I have one because he may have one” if stricter gun laws are not enacted soon down the road you will see a federal handgun ban. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 So you support making weapons WAY MORE accessible to a certain income classes? This is also a false narrative....all of these weapons still fall under this but today's gang violence makes that of the 20's and 30's minor in comparison. The US has historically had task forces and what not to go after organized crime and gangs and went after them hard. Gun laws had nothing to do with it. We don't do shit anymore. Maybe the FBI needs to start getting into stopping gangs again instead of raiding a former Presidents home for political reasons.

My BIL got hit by a stray bullet during hunting season back in 2007 coming down 53 northwest of Rice Lake. Hit the door of his Ram (Must be something about Rams!) so hard the mirror cracked. Bullet went through the door, hit the seat mount on the chassis, back into the door, out of the door through the plastic and I found the bullet laying on the floor under his nephews feet in the passenger seat. He said it sounded like the transfer case exploded. We all agreed, it was the MN plates... Edited May 9, 2023 by Mag6240 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you feel if a illegal immigrant killed a family member or how about one of your family died from the COVID vaccine? Would it change your opinion on those topics?

If people were using cars and running into crowds more you wouldn't be saying shit. Got a link to the 180 mass killings? Definitions on mass shootings are all over the place now. For example here is one that show 281 deaths. Be my guest and go thru those and look at some common denominators. The majority are inner city and likely gang related. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting Edited May 9, 2023 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 9, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 9, 2023 Considering the amount of firearms in the US I'd say we are low compared to many other countries in the world. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/mass-shootings-by-country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
