Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gun control: Surge in support, new poll shows. 62% want to ban high capacity magazines [View all]safeinOhio
(32,858 posts)42. I've seen as many guns trade hands
in the parking lot of gun shows as inside. Then there are the ones sold in classified ads and yard sales. I'm for ALL handguns sales requiring background checks. Ones sold without a check should be a felony. No it won't stop every one, just lots of them.
With the latest shootings and all the bull crap I hear everyday from assholes about an armed revolution against Obama, I'm now in favor of the same for any semi-auto rifle too.
Laws against kiddy porn have driven it underground, way underground. I'm sure that along with enforcement have made it much less prevalent. Would be the same for certain firearms.

OP
Have you ever purchased a firearm? You must pass a background check when purchasing one

Fine NRA analogy, except the gun nuts are closer to wolves than sheep, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, they could've just as easily used something else, like lawn furniture, maybe

So your view on gun control runs counter to President Obama's, VP Biden's, and ex-Pres Clinton's
