Another school shooting

[CNS]

I inherited a 16 gauge and have never had any bullets for it and why the eff can't you sell a gun on craigslist and do any of you gun people want to buy it?

How registered is it?  Like, a lot?

The loaning thing is completely unreasonable.   

There are so many guns in the population now, and guns last so long, that doing anything now to limit who has them is all but unenforceable except post-crime, which is meaningless because these school shooters are all killing themselves.

I'm not saying limit them - I'm suggesting we register all transactions. If a gun is used in a crime and you didn't report missing or register its transfer, you should face criminal consequences.

I know a several ppl that have inherited guns, don't use them, and may not even think to look for them if they were robbed and a bunch of other stuff was taken.  Criminals? 

In my theoretical system, reporting the theft would get them off the hook for future bad things done with those guns.

If they didn't report and the gun was used to murder schoolchildren? Then yes, they should face some sort of criminal charge. Even if you inherit guns, you should be responsible enough to notice they've been stolen.

we've collectively decided, as a country, that the occasional massacre is okay with us. It's the price we're willing to pay for our precious Second Amendment freedoms. We're content to forfeit the lives of a few dozen schoolkids a year as long as we get to keep our guns. The people have spoken...

given that we've all agreed, if only by our passive acquiescence, not to keep this from happening, can we please quit pretending to care? Let's just skip the histrionics this time: no pro forma shock, condolence photo ops, somber speeches, flags at half-mast, meaningless noises from liberals about legislation, meaningless counter-noises from the NRA about armed guards in elementary schools. Why bother going through the motions of soul-searching when we know very well there's nothing to search? If we can't be brave we might at least be honest: when we see the familiar helicopter shots of ambulances outside a school, the clusters of classmates hugging, the sobbing parents being led away, the makeshift shrines of candles and plush toys, instead of looking stricken or covering our mouths or saying "Oh my God" or "How horrible," let's just all look each other in the eye and say: "crap happens."

i agree with this, even though the writer doesn't.

Is it a double barrel in good condition?  I'm interested.

make possession legal
make selling illegal

the only way to get new guns is for manufacturers to give them away (lol)

[SkinnyBenny]

--make possession of one gun legal only if it's super registered, and you pass a shitload of mental health tests, and you wait for like two months, and you can't transfer it to anyone else, and it isn't a weapon capable of shooting 26 little kids in the face.
--everything else is crazy illegal and you spend an insane amount of time in jail if caught with one.

I mean if we're being honest, no civilian really needs more than one gun. Sorry to kill all your weirdo gun boners. Yep, I said it. Boom, roasted.

[SkinnyBenny]

"But SkinnyBenny I hunt and have 57 different guns for that. How will I ever kill all these different types of animals so I can have weird heads to hang from my wall to freak everyone out?" Dunno. Try it with your one gun. I'll let you choose which one. But if that doesn't work then maybe wrestle them with your bare hands and then if you can kill them that way then go for it, I guess?

[SkinnyBenny]

"But SkinnyBenny what about all the different types of handguns I need to protect my family?" Don't know. Whatever you use to hunt large animals would probably work here.  Angry, shotgun-toting farmer dads of hot farmer daughters seem to have this one figured out.

[SkinnyBenny]

"Hey but what if we need to form a militia against a rogue government?"  Probably not gonna happen. I mean that was written like 900 years ago. Be real. What's far more likely is that someone's going to use that type of weaponry to go into an elementary school and massacre 25 little kids.

[SkinnyBenny]

"But SB what will I take into Chipotle to show off how badass I am?" Beats me. Your one gun and...a slightly bigger camouflage hat this time?

I'll send him drawings of parts of guns and bullets over the span of months. So that way he can put them together at night and fap.

A war on guns would reduce guns about as much as the war on drugs reduced drugs. Its a fine ideal SB, but no.

this is what i mean. Sorry anti gun zealots. You cant win

then there shouldn't be a war on guns.

the NRA should propose a 5% tax on gun sales with the revenue going to mental health care. instead they will do the "more guns are needed" rigamarole because conservative media has convinced them that liberals are serious about confiscating 270 millions guns.

[SdK]

I don't think the purpose of anyone recently is to say that guns should be reduced, just that being an irresponsible owner should have more consequences.
