Here is where I draw the line on guns. (and I have guns). I can see having a pistol, shotgun, or rifle, but I can not see any reason whatsoever for anyone, outside law enforcement or military, to have assault weapons.

That POS in Vegas had an arsenal that no civilian needs or should have access to. Those guns are made to one thing only, spray as many people with bullets in the shortest amount of time possible. And then we allow them to buy those stupid bump stocks !

Hypothetically speaking, what if Congress our right bans all firearms and enforced it with vigor, door to door confiscations of known firearm owners, death penalty for owning a firearm, awards for people to snitch on secret firearm owners, diverting the military from oversees into the USA, etc.

Could be possible then? obviously the black market will always exist

That's called a civil war. Which side do you want to be on?

Well, for one thing, it would take eighty-two years.

You can make a gun with a 3D printer. What's the point of "gun control?"

I see know reason why civilians would need BUMP STOCKS to upgrade their guns to shoot at such a crazy speed.. So those should be banned, I believe. Even hunters should hone their craft so that they can shoot without blazing animals!


Stricter laws regarding selling guns including red flags for anyone who has purchased more than say 5 guns in a years period. Maybe those people should at least be screened to make sure they are legit and not crazy.


Anyone with a gun license should be subject to mandatory mental evaluation every few years... If the gun owner is on any mind altering medications they should be watched carefully or license revoked.


Just some ideas.. Maybe some of them are already laws, I have no idea. I admit that I know very little about guns or gun laws. Never owned one and never plan to. That said, I do not believe that all guns should be illegal. As long as we can tighten up the laws to at least avoid crazy people from stockpiling 30 guns and legally buying "add ons" that turn the legal weapons into mass killing machines.

Like what? I'd like to know what laws would prevent this! And what does curb mean? Less than 20 dead, less than 10?
