You know few private sellers are gonna bother to go to a gun store and pay the 50 bucks or so for what would be a legal transfer under that proposed legislation?

You get that for the price of a nice AR15 you can get a hobby CNC mill with the capability of turning a block of aluminum into a functioning AR15 receiver? You know that the rest of the parts (including full-auto specific parts) are legally not firearms and can be bought and sold online 24/7?

Please enlighten us... this legislation will make the world a safer place how exactly?
If your GOP can't fix the problem and only has a load of excuses as in your post here, the problem will be fixed by those who replace the impotent GOP.

Not many on the left really cares about the kids, or their lost lives. Its really all about control.
Tell a stadium full of high school students that 2500 teenagers a year die from texting while distracted. That's 8 a day.
Then ask then to give up their phones so they can save lives and make a real difference.
What would they do?
LOL, heck, what would their parents do?

It's not about the lives saved...
Same can be said about gun CONTROl. It has nothing to do about lives being saved

There are laws in most states against texting and driving. Now back on topic, what does the GOP propose to fix the problem of gun violence in our country?

That doesn't answer the question.

How does banning the future sale of new weapons that will still be around legally in huge numbers and can already be made at home make America safer!?

Adults amazed that the left are allowing children to dictate the rules. THAT is how ignorant they are of what is actually happening.
Wow...the paranoia of the right knows absolutely no bounds. Everything is a conspiracy. Geez you guys are unhinged.

You might as well try and persuade me that fighting fire with petrol is a good idea! lol.
And it's MY right to call you out on your hypocrisy "Johnny Foreigner". You still can't come to grips with the fact that the UK is one of THEE most violent countries in the world. THAT "my friend" of which you are not, is the shameful truth of violent crime "over there". "Johnny Foreigner" keeps on repeating the same old crap ad nauseam. But that's okay violent crime is okay with "Johnny Foreigner" as long as no one is killed. I hope to Christ that one day "Johnny Foreigner" becomes a victim of a violent crime and "Johnny Foreigner's" only option is to call some unarmed bobbies to his aid. By the time they arrive "Johnny Foreigner" will have either been beaten to a pulp or maybe even stabbed to death? LOL.

It's about time that "Johnny Foreigner" get his own house in order before "Johnny Foreigner" make any comments about what goes on over here. Obviously "Johnny Foreigner" has no idea of how to solve the problems within his own country or there wouldn't be any violent crime over there, now would there be "Johnny Foreigner"? If "Johnny Foreigner" were so God damn smart then "Johnny Foreigner's" government would just come to "Johnny Foreigner" for all the answers. Why even have a government when "Johnny Foreigner" knows how to solve everything?

I already answered your stupid little question in a previous post:
Quote:
I don't have an answer for your stupid questions "Johnny Foreigner". If I did I would be some kind of God or the wealthiest person on earth of which I am neither. Neither does "Johnny Foreigner" for that matter other than advocating that American citizens of which "Johnny Foreigner" IS NOT, give up their individual civil liberties. People have been murdering each other since the beginning of mankind. Because of a lack of individual civil liberties governments have been doing the same to their own people for centuries. WHAT PLANET ARE YOU LIVING ON "JOHNNY FOREIGNER"? LOL. No amount of gun control laws will ever change any of that.

Why don't you just get off of your self righteous soap box "Johnny Foreigner"? It's not going to change a God damn thing as long as there are evil people in this world and there always will be no matter how loud "Johnny Foreigner" screams and stamps his petty little feet. That's reality "Johnny Foreigner". Rendering people defenseless in the face of evil can only make matters worse. Other than a call to 911 the government will not be there to protect anyone. As a matter of fact our Supreme Court on 6/27/2005 has already ruled that they have no duty to protect anyone. All they can do is arrive and investigate after a crime has been committed and hope to catch the perpetrator unless the perpetrator hasn't already killed themselves or been taken out by another individual with MY GOD A GUN!

You still haven't addressed mine, Why is that "Johnny Foreigner"?

How 'bout this one?
As to how "Johnny Foreigner" would like it if someone barged into "Johnny Foreigner's" home uninvited, and demand that "Johnny Foreigner" decorate "Johnny Foreigner's" home and run "Johnny Foreigner's" household to their liking? Because that's exactly what "Johnny Foreigner" is doing on this forum. Yet "Johnny Foreigner" can't figure out why some people resent that?

Or this one:
How would "Johnny Foreigner" like it if "Johnny Foreigner's" government one day decided that all of the reading materials within "Johnny Foreigner's" home were declared contraband and that "Johnny Foreigner" will be charged with a felony? That's what gun control advocates such as "Johnny Foreigner" are demanding only instead of reading materials it's lawfully owned guns and the relinquishing of a number of Constitutionally guaranteed rights. Specifically the 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Arguably the 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th Amendments as well.

My God you really do have a cement head as I've got to keep on copying and pasting from my previous post and nothing seems to penetrate?

I know. Once your side is done, I'll be locked in a "re-education" camp out in the Nevada desert counting my rib bones and wondering what they did with the bodies of my dead children.
