Well, you also make the point that the gov. Run privileges, are full of un-needed regulation and excess work. Like you describe having to "obtain" all these items to operate a motor vehicle. But, like many have said its a right, owning a gun not a gov. Run privilege. Its also not that easy to go in and "grab" a gun from Wal-Mart. A few of my friends have tried to obtain guns, and got denied. They were denied because in the background checks, they were subjected to, just like everyone else. Came up with medication he was taking, and previous therapy in mental health. I think that's how the system should work, and it did. He cannot get approved for purchase.

And I don't know what kind of Heroin addicts you have in your area, but here, they use their money for more Heroin, not hand cannons. I do understand what you are getting at though. More regulation, and it might keep a few from getting guns. But realistically, it just makes it more difficult for people that conform to your regulation to get one. The REAL "Crazies" and "Drug Addicts buying guns" WILL get them many other ways. They are criminals. They do not care you made more restrictions, they are criminals.

Lmao wow

Every country has mental health issues. Its only here in the US that we sell guns to every Tom, Dick and Harry and as a result thousands with mental health issues get guns every year and go on shooting sprees. Its a completely broken system!

Im super PRO-GUN...... but not for every asshole in this country to have.

I can go to a Wal-Mart, give them my driver’s license, purchase a gun, and walk out. No questions asked, no training, no nothing. Free and clear. Thats awesome! Except for the innocent victims who are killed by these ppl who should never have had a gun to begin with but with no vetting process thats impossible to predict which is why we need guns to protect ourselves. Its a catch-22.

Yet if I wanna obtain a DRIVERS LICENSE and buy a car, I have to go through lessons in a classroom for which I paid for, lessons from behind the wheel with a driving instructor for which I paid for, a year of supervised driving with a learner’s permit, a written test, a visual test, and a driving test for which I all paid for.

And to own and operate a car, I have to register that vehicle with the DMV and maintain insurance and if I dont maintain insurance and use it I get arrested and I have to re-new my license every few years and if I dont adhere to these RULES my right to drive is suspended or revoked.

Here are some COMMON SENSE gun laws that Japan has: (I know, some states require some of these but very few)

1.) All day classroom training and u have to pass a written exam to pass. These are held once a month.

2.) Must pass a shooting range course. (Imagine that, u have to demonstrate ur can actually hit a target..... amazing)

3.) Then off to the hospital for a mental health test and a DRUG test! (Wow, imagine that they actually make sure their new gun owners aren't Heroin addicts or fruit loops off their meds. Amazing.... smfh).

4.) Then a rigorous background check.

5.) Police inspect ur guns once a year so ya know u didnt give it to Bubba to go rob the 7-Eleven smh.

6.) Re-take the written and shooting exam every (3) years.

Excellent example except...have you seen the dipshits on the ****ing roads? Do you see the government taking their cars from them, even after several cases of drunk driving then? Stupid people are stupid, until you can wrap your head around that and realize government intervention cannot and will not prevent it, keep your mouth shut. Same goes for everything including the internet or power tools.

Are you seriously a LEO? If so that's scary AF. Like someone else said, the dogs will always do what their masters tell them.

First off and as a LEO you should know this, driving is a privilege not a right. Owning a gun is a right.

Second, yes you can go to a gun store and if you are not a criminal you can buy a firearm.

But how exactly are you going to determine who is a pre-criminal?

By who's standards do we determine what makes a criminal?

You obviously lack the foresight to see how those who determine, and the standards they use would be used against the 99.9% law abiding citizens. That's alarming especially considering you're a LEO.

Imagine your logic being applied to all of our God giving rights.
The 1st amendment. Your right to free speech can only be utilized if you are well vetted and regulated by "us".
The 4th amendment. Your right to illegal searches only applies if you are well vetted and regulated by "us".
You have a very piss poor understanding of rights and how they work.

As for tragedies, you as a LEO, I'm betting have pulled more dead people out of cars than you have seen killed from firearms. Now if you want to go on about tougher regulations and testing requirements to obtains a DL I'm all in.

And fyi anyone that says "I'm pro-gun, but" isn't pro-gun at all.

I agree 100%

Let anyone and everyone have a gun. Don't vet anyone. Let things work themselves out. And when someone you love dies to gun violence, you can come back to this thread and edit your post.

Have a good day.

This is one of those politician speeches that sounds nice on the surface, but when you get down to the details, there's some major issues with it.

The driver's license analogy is a bad one for what you're suggesting. You need a driver's license to operate on public roads. You can drive and operate whatever you want on your own property. If you want to concealed carry out in the public, there's already a licensing process as you suggest. And even if you were to effect this, look at how many unlicensed drivers are running around and killing/injuring people. It doesn't stop them at all.

Now let's go point by point.

1.) I've taken these so called courses. They're not going to do anything if they're mandated. It was over 40 hours of "don't look down the barrel and don't point it at people, you idiot." The test was more of the same. it didn't really do anything. All it did was take money out of my pocket and waste my time, essentially just a barrier to entry to the poor.

2.) To what end is this going to help anything? It's not even going to stop NDs.

3.) Do you want the government determining what suitable mental health is? It's purely subjective. If your political beliefs don't align with theirs, should you be classified as mentally ill and denied the right to a firearm? And the drug test, we don't even drug test for other government services.

4.) Rigorous background check...you mean like NICS which already exists and is mandated?

5.) Goodbye, fourth amendment rights. Canada has this. It also mandates that firearms and ammunition must be stored in separate safes, anchored to the structure, in separate rooms. You know, making the point of home defense completely and totally impossible.

Basically all those things make ownership more onerous and infringe upon your rights, without demonstrating any means of really being effective. But they make it look like you're doing something- the politician's specialty.

I'm surprised you didn't include red flag laws, which in theory might be more effective, but also completely throw out due process, which is kind of the core of your rights and the criminal justice system.

Okay, but if that happens and you get upset at the government for your family member's murder then that would be an illogical response. Your problem should lie with the person that murdered them, not the government or anyone else, and it likely would lie there if they had committed the murder with a knife or hammer or something else unregulated, but because it is a firearm you all the sudden become illogical and blame the government and the pro-gun advocates?

if you have a felony conviction than you have pretty much lost some important rights, including the 2A. if a psyche doctor feels someone is a serious risk to society they can contact the police about it. these are already two important safeguards in place. "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed"

someone else mentioned a friend who was blocked from buying a gun because they take medication iirc.. ill be all the cash in my wallet (not much) that there are plenty of LEOs on anti-depressants and other prescription drugs that have the ability to carry 24-7. prescription meds for mental issues are prescribed by a treating physician, who has the ability to report said person to the police if they genuinely feel their patient is a credible/serious threat to themselves and/or others. if they were to blanket ban everyone because they take meds then you would have a whole lot of people not taking them for that reason. should we ban every single veteran who has ptsd? are all of them a risk to society? im sure plenty of LEOs have it too from crazy shit theyve dealt with. should they lose their ability to carry a weapon? eventually they start adding all kind of reasons to be included in the "banned" group and we end up like other countries where practically nobody can own them (unless youre rich or connected).

i was watching a documentary about buying a gun, legally, in mexico. there is ONE gun store in the entire country (per this documentary) and its on a military base. after months and mountains of paperwork you finally are permitted to go that base/store to buy a weapon. it takes hours to get in and get out. i dont recall if it was expensive, but it was a major pita. one guy who was a business owner was waiting at the store to get his gun for a few hours already. he said he could have easily walked into a back alley and purchased a handgun off someone for a few hundred bucks but he wanted to do it legally. what a great system they have there. heavily regulated and restricted. meanwhile, they have literal war in the streets with rpgs, machine guns and grenades lol.

Its called no personal accountability for his future or that of his loved ones. No bulb going off in his head pointing at training himself and or equipping himself (or loved ones) with the tools / skills necessary to survive evil.... Nope... Just lay there like a mark, waiting on the government to take care of that for him... while he is perfectly content wearing his face diaper and getting anal swabs from said government!

Lmao...

Oh My God!, I didn't think about that! My family! Think of the children (makes faggoty liberal body gesture to virtue signal to the world I'm a woke cuck).

Just kidding. I'll teach my kids, family & friends to not be useless ****s tethered to their fragile emotions and use reason to react to whatever life throws at them.
But you do you, and I'll do me, ok?

"Common sense gun control" is how you lose your 2a rights.

If he didn't kill them with a gun, he would have used a knife. If he didn't use a knife, then a bat....rinse, repeat.

The problem with "selective gun control" for those "who shouldn't have them" is the fact that eventually, you are the one they decide shouldn't have them.

A very good friend of mine who I have known over 50yrs works at that clinic and was actually on duty. Was actually shot at thru window on his way out along with another employee and 4 other people including a small child. His phone, wallet, keys etc were left in his office and it took a few days to get them back. His car was left in parking lot and FBI/Sheriff refused to allow him to get it. One bomb was set off within 20' of his office. He says tons of damage inside building.

Liberalism is the mental health issue. You can't indoctrinate people with the notion that the alternative liberal lifestyles are normal and that everyone on the abnormal left is a victim without having people snap.

It still baffles me that people think stricter gun laws are going to prevent people from doing bad things with guns legally or illegally. You would need to eliminate all gun production world wide and then some.
