The American Gun Rights Thread Vol. 3

[second sight]

One group, the Michael Bloomberg-helmed Everytown for Gun Safety, has provided recommendations to the White House


how bad could it be?

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

I doubt any of what I've read will make a difference in my life. Unless somehow I need to liquidate the arsenal and something requires me to start a business and file taxes because of it.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

I don't see the problem with conducting research. What am I overlooking?

But when it comes to what is, statistically, one of the most important public-health threats in the country — guns — this powerful institution is effectively impotent. That’s because the NRA decided that the CDC shouldn’t be allowed to fund gun research, and successfully bullied Congress into codifying this sentiment into law. The American Psychological Association recounts the story: In 1996 the NRA, furious about a 1993 New England Journal of Medicinearticle on the risks of gun ownership, successfully pushed for the passage of a budget amendment that yanked $2.6 million from the CDC — exactly what it had been spending on gun research — and banned the agency from disbursing any funds toward research that could be construed as supporting gun control. While not an official, outright ban, the CDC has interpreted it that way — its administrators have little appetite for hearings or “investigations” from NRA-funded congresspeople — and since then its gun-related research efforts have dwindled to basically nothing. (Former Representative Jay Dickey, for whom the so-called Dickey Amendment is named, has subsequently expressed regret about his role in this episode.)

This seems all for show.

Or maybe not?

Too bad he can't fight that stupid Seattle gun and ammo tax that will shortly become law up there . . .

This question should probably be a separate thread.

At the same time they are calling for infringements on the Second Amendment (as per-capita homicides and gun accidents hit record lows), the vast majority of these politicians are hypocritically receiving publicly-funded armed security to protect their lives. Should these public servants, so intent on disarming the citizenry and stripping their constituents of practical self defense, be allowed security armed with the same firearms they would take away from constituents?

Or should they be restricted to security armed with less-lethal means such as tasers and chemical sprays, forced to live as they would have those they represent live?

I never got why people needed to own machine guns. I have never needed to own any weapon. I guess that because my hand speed and power are enough. Criminals probably walk by my house and hear the sounds of me hitting the punching bag in my basement and say "no thanks". But I can understand why some people would want a weapon for protection... But not sure you need one that shoots 200 rounds a minute.. But im fine with people owning hunting weapons, exc...

These are banned in Germany. No joke.

How many homicides from automatic weapons are there per year in America? Do you have any idea? But keep hitting that punching bag - hopefully that speed and power lasts into your 60's, 70's and beyond. Also, as a side note why are cars able to go 150mph+? I've never needed to go that fast. But I'm fine with people driving small cars that do not exceed 75mph.

I have a van but do not drive. I have a driver ... It has a tub in the back that I use to ice my body down after a hard workout while he drives me from gym to gym or home after a long day of hitting pads..

If you have the money to go through all the shit to get on and keep it plus the money for the ammo they are a real blast to shoot.

So people collect and shoot them for the fun of it.

Plus you can get even more fun shit to shoot provided you got the money.

Isn't it something like two uses of NFA weapons in like 50 years or something?
