Highlight:

The Pro gun arguments are compelling and absolutely correct. The AWB was riddled with loopholes [View all] RomneyLies Dec 2012 OP

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

"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

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

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
