37. The law is already there

Dec 2012

All that changes is execution of the law and the executive branch determines how to execute.

Loopholes were written into the law by pro gun folk and gun corporations. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2012 #1
There aren't loopholes under the NFA RomneyLies Dec 2012 #2
A very elegant idea. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2012 #9
The laws was written by pro-control lawmakers krispos42 Dec 2012 #61
True, but these laws are often amended in the process of going through the house and Senate. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2012 #62
that's my point. krispos42 Dec 2012 #73
Those weren't loopholes. Those were the details of an assault weapon ban. Kennah Dec 2012 #64
Why treat a revolver differently wercal Dec 2012 #3
six shots max in a revolver, and harder to reload than a magazine. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #4
Oh really. geckosfeet Dec 2012 #15
You're right wercal Dec 2012 #29
You make a compelling argument to oinclude revolvers, too RomneyLies Dec 2012 #31
Well,, that really wasn't the argument at all. The point was you were wrong. geckosfeet Dec 2012 #33
I'm not ignorant about guns. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #42
Knowing revolvers come in a variety capacities is basic firearms knowledge. Kurska Dec 2012 #51
They're fine unless you want to make an argument against them n/t RomneyLies Dec 2012 #55
I can reload a six shot revolver in about the same time it takes to eject a magazine and shove byeya Dec 2012 #83
Okay, you've convinced me RomneyLies Dec 2012 #84
During the course of my career I've had three coworkers shot to death while they were byeya Dec 2012 #87
What is bad public policy is to make weapons available that can kill pnwmom Dec 2012 #52
So, basically you are saying we should ban all guns. renie408 Dec 2012 #5
Nah, he's saying revolvers and pump action weapons should be the same as automatic weapons RomneyLies Dec 2012 #6
Works for me. :) renie408 Dec 2012 #8
I have said several times that the harder gun nuts argue renie408 Dec 2012 #7
The gun nuts have made it clear, the NFA is our only answer RomneyLies Dec 2012 #12
Details have to be fine tuned but I'm okay with it. former-republican Dec 2012 #10
? Some people can fire revolvers as fast as a semi-auto. bluerum Dec 2012 #11
Then we treat revolvers and pump action weapons the same as automatic weapons under the NFA RomneyLies Dec 2012 #13
Oh jeez. More bad policy based on poor information. Just what we need. geckosfeet Dec 2012 #17
Brilliant policy based upon the arguments of the pro-gunners themselves n/t RomneyLies Dec 2012 #18
Quite simply, semi-auto's are NOT automatic. It defies reality to call them or treat them as such. geckosfeet Dec 2012 #24
Yeah, right. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #26
Geeze! Dyedinthewoolliberal Dec 2012 #34
Hence why the pro-gun peole are right and we must treat them identically to automatic weapons. n/t RomneyLies Dec 2012 #38
+1 nt laundry_queen Dec 2012 #58
Wow. You posted a video. Cool. geckosfeet Dec 2012 #35
The NFA solution terrifies you, doesn't it? n/t RomneyLies Dec 2012 #40
No. Your ignorance of the constitution, laws of the land and firearms does. geckosfeet Dec 2012 #66
Just keep hugging those guns RomneyLies Dec 2012 #67

"I hope it'll never happen" RomneyLies Dec 2012 #16
Oh, and another thing RomneyLies Dec 2012 #21
Obama's not going to do that. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #22
"I hope Obama's not going to do that." RomneyLies Dec 2012 #27
Yes, that too. Thank you for fixing that. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #32
I was only saying semiautomatic weapons, which clearly have the firepower to be included RomneyLies Dec 2012 #36
The end game is over before it begins. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #45
You hope that, don't you? But your own arguments point clearly to this being the only way. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #46
The ban on full autos had been working splendidly well. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #49
Wish all yo want, it's coming. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #50
I don't need to wish or do anything. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #54
Cool, we;ll kinow where to come to pick up your semiautomatic weapons RomneyLies Dec 2012 #56
Yay! I'll make cookies! NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #76
Oh it won't be me RomneyLies Dec 2012 #78
You'll be sorry. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #81
Oh for fucks face nadinbrzezinski Dec 2012 #65
Exactly. Ban that cartridge and you make useless the 1911 and NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #74
So you are going to take on the government with that AR-15? nadinbrzezinski Dec 2012 #77
Nadin, you miss the point. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #80
Then get on board with the answer. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #86
I can get on board with FFL required for transfers, yes. NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #88
Not requiring licensing for the millions of existing guns is a deal breaker for me RomneyLies Dec 2012 #93
Point by point nadinbrzezinski Dec 2012 #89
Well NYC_SKP Dec 2012 #90
Again point by point nadinbrzezinski Dec 2012 #92
Wait a minute here. Ikonoklast Dec 2012 #91

So you want to reopen the NFA registry? clffrdjk Dec 2012 #57
great discussion! frylock Dec 2012 #60
I think it needs to be something this side of NFA Kennah Dec 2012 #63
No, the pro-gun people have shown. Nothing new will work. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #68
If we could add semiautos to NFA, then we could build a middle ground limitation Kennah Dec 2012 #94
reinstate and eliminate the loopholes....easy...p.s. you're welcome. spanone Dec 2012 #70
No no, the gun-huggers have made it clear since '94. You cannot eliminate the loopholes. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #72
It's actually going to work the other way around , Thank you for supporting that former-republican Dec 2012 #75
Dream on. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #85
That's the only way the NRA and gun enthusiasts will support reclassification of semi autos former-republican Dec 2012 #95
