Biden Calls for (yet another) Assault Weapons Ban Following N Carolina Shooting. It's the gun's fault, not the shooter's (crime, Chicago)

HOWEVER, the US government has a long history of modifying the law from how it was originally intended. Just look at social security or the Native Americans. Given that, I wouldn't trust them one bit for any more additional power over Constitutional rights.
Is it one to one matching or could it be applied to other possibilities. My LE researcher credentials should clear me for what I do but then again, outside my circle, who knows what I am. Would my research into school shootings, targeting school children, Entebbe, Beslan, Tactical Diagraming, etc, etc, etc...set off the alarms to someone to have them come "knocking on my door"?
There is something to always looking over your shoulder. I ordered my book, "Terror at Beslan" at a slightly higher price than from another book seller at a slightly lower price because the latter one seemed a little too right wing for my tastes. That should they be raided, I didn't want my name on their mailing lists.
Paranoid or falling into being antisocial? Or is it just learning to watch your back? What may be a red flag to one person may just be good thinking to another.
Perhaps they do in a matter of speaking but they didn't pull the trigger, just as all those who voted for a politician who then hurts many thru his policies aren't accountable, either.....or should they? Be careful of the can of worms one opens.
Consider, it is inside your locked house to begin with. You get home and something happens where you need that gun, where your one ace in the hole is that you know where it is. Maybe it is an intruder in your home, maybe it is someone who followed you home.
Your one chance is to get to that gun first and turn around and engage......but it doesn't mean a darn thing if you have to take time getting it out of a safe first or even worse, the enemy has found your safe first and has disabled it from being open, so they have the only guns.
Now, granted, when it is just you, it is one thing, where it is a situation of "The Enemy Within", it is another. How one treats it from preventing children accidently shooting someone to something there for children to use for defence is a very tough problem.
The basic of it is that it is not clear across the board, PARTICULARLY when one is dealing with those with all the answers from 20/20 hindsight.
I am talking very specifically about minor children. The parents are responsible for supervising them, getting them access to proper medical care, taking them to counseling if necessary. They certainly should not be leaving weapons out where their troubled kids can gain access to them.
In Ethan Crumbley's case, his father bought the gun and ammo. His mother took him to the range to teach him how to use it and bragged on Facebook about giving her son the gun for Christmas. They were aware that their 15 year old son had been hallucinating, having problems at school (calls from the school, meetings with guidance), had been drinking alcohol...yet, they routinely left that kid at home alone with an accessible, loaded gun. That was not going to end well.
I don't know what the situation is with this Raleigh shooter but it's probably going to be something similar.
Adding: Apparently the Raleigh shooter's mom arrived home in a panic and didn't even waste time pulling into her driveway before stopping the car and running inside where she found her 16 year old son shot dead in the bathroom.

Why do people need to own an assault rifle. What’s the purpose
Because people like you and your hired far-left cohorts keep loosing criminals on the rest of us. Sometimes in large numbers, and we NEED to have the means to defend ourselves, our families, neighborhoods etc. Especially when the police usually don't show up until later. Often because you and your cohorts have defunded them, restricted them, vilified them, and generally prevented them from doing their jobs.
When a bunch of home invaders crash through my door at 3AM, I can't politely ask them to wait until the cops (maybe) show up to deal with them. **I** need to deal with them, right now, whether I like it or not.
Are there any other questions and confusions you have, that you need me to clear up for you?
Three of my grandkids own rifles (17, 13, 12). But we still have gun training here through the Scouts and 4 H. There is also a competitive shooting sports team for those under 21. A local 6 year old got a deer last fall. We have a youth deer hunting season. Kids are taught gun safety. We have had one gun murder in my county in 10 years.
Three years ago I bought a shotgun for my kids to use when we go skeet shooting
And I regularly take them to the shooting range to learn how to safely handle my firearms
I do keep them in a safe expect one which i keep near my bed with a combination lock on it
You are a responsible gun owner. I doubt that if one of your kids was experiencing a psychiatric problem that you would be leaving them alone with an accessible loaded weapon. Only a crap parent does something like that.
Skeet shooting is a perfectly fine sport, there is nothing wrong with a kid shooting targets at a gun range and learning about gun safety. Weapons should be kept in a gun safe when not in use.

Great to see this. I’ve also been shooting guns/targets for as long as can remember from a young child till present, was taught how to properly and safely use a gun, took a safety class, and my guns have always behaved, and I have very many of them. The ammo also behaves properly.

You think a home invasion is going to give you time to go unlock your safe? My kids know how to use every firearm we have. But then, they are not nut jobs either.
