No, locking your guns prevents their use. A locked gun is a hazard if someone surprises you. Again, there is no regulation of cars on private property there cannot be any regulation of guns on private property including locks.
Now when you want to take it off private property, it's subject to regulation like automobiles. Perhaps some licenses etc.
And I am sure the killer of the 20 children appreciated his mother not locking her guns up.
They weren't purchased via a "loophole," they were purchased from a guy who BROKE THE LAW to sell to these kids. That's a crime, not a loophole.
He didn't sell them out of his trunk, he had a table at a gun show that was not regulated. Yes he broke the law, what is the point of having a law with no enforcement.
Do we know if they were locked or not? I hadn't heard anything about that. I don't think we have any idea (yet) what went on in that house.
Agreed.
And even if they were locked up, he probably had easy access to a key. After all she had trained both her sons in gun shooting and took them to shooting ranges---it's unlikely she prevented Adam's access to guns.
Yep, that will get rid of the problem. Because no one ever kills any one else with any weapon other than a gun, right? Eliminate the guns and we'll have a peaceful society with no violence. Crazy people unable to find a gun will just sigh wistfully, wishing for the old days when the only weapon capable of causing harm or death, a gun, wasn't illegal, and give up the idea of killing people. They won't pick up a knife, or a gallon of gasoline, or the keys to their car, because they'll have no idea that those can be, and have been repeatedly in the past, deadly weapons.
Your point is: they will kill us anyway so lets let them have the guns to do it quickly!
True colors come out. You want the only ones in possession of weapons to be a Statist Central Government that abuses and targets those whom exercise their freedom of speech.
Didn't I hear the National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre suggest we limit our rights of free speech? Didn't he suggest limiting media, movies, songs, and video games? Doesn't the NRA respect our 1st amendment?
The NRA wants a registry for the mentally ill --- but not a registry for gun nuts like Nancy Lanza amassing a stockpile of weapons and ammunition.
Lets say you did have registry of gunowners. Although automatically you show your true colors by calling US a "gun nut". To you just because someone has guns they are automatically a "nut" nevermind they coUld be sane and gentle people in fact.
But what would you do with a registry registering say me or some other members here that are pro gun and outspoken , What would you do with such a registry? I think you would badger and intrude on us is what I think you would do with it. But please tell me....
Your interpretation of "stockpile" would seemingly be a slippery slop itself.
Some kind of regulation of people like Nancy Lanza who are stockpiling weapons.
More funding for mental health services.
Parents controlling the amount of violent video games their boys are playing (an average of 13 hours a week).
Fewer guns in whos hands. You anti gunners decide?
Ban on which guns? the scary looking type?
Education? It seems you need more education, you dont even know what an assault rifle is from an assault.
How many guns make a stockpile? how many rounds is hoarding?
Agreed more mental heath services, liberalism is a sick mind.
Turn off the TV, Teach them self control. As a kid I did alot of plinking on the ranch with a 22, didnt make me a killer. Just a very good shot.
