You can face 10 years in prison for cutting a shotgun or rifle barrel below an arbitrary length, ...
Excellent point and the common advice is to make sure the barrel and overall length is about 1/4 of inch longer than required. If you are one millimeter off you are opening yourself up to jail.
As an aside , our local paper prints the police blotter and every week
there are several people who have their guns stolen during house break-ins.
Many just have their guns laying around
in their house or their car with easy access for thieves.
Granted ,a gun cabinet is not the hardest thing to break into but it should
cut down on amount of easily stolen guns.
Can we just deny these idiots the right to go out and buy another one?
A lot of stolen guns in circulation ,keep your gun under lock and key.
California just made stealing a firearm under $1000 a petty crime. They also burdened legal gun owners with a whole laundry list of stupidity layered on top of existing laws. Why would we make the biggest crime a petty crime all the while saddling the law abiding with more laws that could easily make them a felon? It's absurd some of these laws.

If someone breaks into someones garage, steals a car and kills someone with it do you blame the car owner?
There is reasonable limits to where liability begins and ends. If someone were to leave their car running outside a convenience store, that car is stolen and involved in a homicide the person that owns the car has some responsibility. Similarly if someone were to walk into a bathroom and leave their gun on the toilet top they have some responsibility.
If that gun or car is sitting in the garage or house there should be no responsibility.

Oh really? Did I say Brazil? You think we get our guns from Brazil instead of the other way around? Brazil that great manufacturing giant of the south who obviously provides our guns somehow? What's the last manufacturer you heard of? Feijoida e Pato?
Of the 8,622 firearms seized by Rio de Janeiro´s military police in 2014, over 68% were manufactured by Brazilian (government-subsidized) firms including Taurus, Rossi, IMBEL and CBC. Most of these were purchased, gifted or stolen in Brazil.

I'm a hardcore, tree-hugging liberal. I'm also a big fan of guns. Yes folks, a gun-loving liberal. I know many of you like to think that everybody fits into a box. But I own multiple assault rifles, shotguns, and pistols.
I am totally fine with gun laws as they are, though I would definitely be in favor of stricter background checks, and limited access to people with a history of mental illness....though didn't Trump recently sign something that loosened the laws for mentally ill people?
Not sure about Florida but you can own a cannon elsewhere. I'm not sure what the rules and regulations are.
Generally speaking my thoughts on this are pretty simple, if law enforcement can justify it so can the citizen. A cannon would not fall into that category but on the other hand it's not exactly something you can easily hide.
Black powder muzzle loader??? Fire away Griddly! Breach loader, fireing shells? Jump through the hoops, shell out the money and one of these too can be yours!!!!
Common sense..... When this issue came about those on the do not fly list one bill would have banned them from purchasing a gun for three days, permanently with a court order. Sound reasonable?
This was the GOP bill and backed by the NRA, with a few votes from Democrats it would have passed. If someone on the list obtains guns and carries out an attack we can in fact blame the anti gun activists that resulted in no law because of their all or nothing attitude.
OP reads like those "I am a conservative, but I have a problem with conservative principals" posts, which is to say... they aren't what they claim and this post is nothing more than a means to bring credibility to their initial argument (ie I am one of you, so you should respect me because I am like you and understand!) in order to promote the actual antithesis position of what the OP claims to be of.
More typical BS antics, more smoke and mirrors, more lies and garbage.
