Now, come one. All of us agree on this stuff. This is no-nonsense regulation. Everyone agrees on it, even the more moderate libertarians (but not the anarchists).


What are your thoughts on this? Am I just whining or is this a legit stupid thing?

Robtard
McConnell is a piece of trash and right now he's likely weighing the pros/cons of going against the gun lobby and some of his constituents vs the rest of the country.

Not that I think it will happen, but it would be hilarious if he's voted out in 2020.

McConnell looks and sounds like an Alzheimers-ridden raisin who is only holding the country back in the domain of everything.

I think both those bills are reasonable unless of course, I'm missing some wonky amendments in them.

I read the article, it lists some of the reasons why Republicans don't want this. How do you feel about those? One guy talks about how it could potentially take a month to get a firearm.

Heck. Why don't we just get rid of the Bill of Rights all together...I mean the Left hates it so much...and we don't want to Upset the Poor Widdle Fee Fee's of the CryBaby Lefties....Now Do WE!?

Surtur
I'm just going to be blunt about the reality of the situation: you can pass all the laws you want. The only tactic that would make any significant difference is to radically change our culture or to somehow take the hundreds of millions of guns people own.

Mass shootings have been going down since 2016. These tragedies send people into a frenzy. Should we try to tighten background checks and all that? Yes, but I don't know if we'll see any significant impact.

Flyattractor
Well that is what the Progressive Left wants to do. THEY WANT to Radically Change Our Culture.

So last year we had 340 mass shootings in a country with over 330 million people and over 300 million guns.

This is how it defines mass shootings:

"FOUR or more shot and/or killed in a single event , at the same general time and location not including the shooter."

And no, you won't use this an excuse to weasel out. My point is correct, mass shootings have gone down. You won't shrug this off because you decide to define it differently. I have never thought a mass shooting required deaths. Never.

If 10 people get shot and none die it's still a mass shooting.

I'm legit baffled how Rob thinks people generally wouldn't consider 5 people getting shot, but surviving as a mass shooting.

That's like saying acts of terrorism require death. If a suicide bomber sets off a bomb and he only manages to injure some people, it's still an act of terrorism and it would be silly not to include it among stats when it comes to acts of terrorism.

You're talking about the FBI deciding to apply the definition of mass murder to mass shootings. But it's batshit insane to say if I shoot 100 people and none die it's not a mass shooting.

I'm okay with it taking a month to get a firearm. But closer to 10 days is better. I think a cap (haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! pun!) of 20 days wait should be in place to prevent states from abusing the second amendment with super long wait times.

Mass Shooting Events are increasing in frequency while deaths are going down.



I personally believe this is due to monitoring and prevention doing better to stop these events quickly before the bodies pile high.

There's nothing wrong with waiting 30d ays for a gun in the general sense.

It could potentially stop that rare would-be mass murderer from doing their thing as they could come to their senses between those 30 days.

That might be true in some cases, some instances. In other instances, it will just push illegally obtained firearms into more easily obtainable illegal manners. More surreptitiously obtained arms.

Prohibitions don't work. They only work for criminals to monetize crime. \

And, still, others with mental health issues will stew and become worse. Having more time to devise and think of better ways to kill people is not a good idea.

Also, and lastly, most of these shooters use guns that don't belong to them or are guns obtained illegally. Meaning, more regulations will not stop this fewer than 1% of our annual homicides.

Because they should report that to the police or use less-lethal options until then.

I absolutely don't have a problem with the bills and 30 days supposed to be the outside range of waiting. That said there are a lot of rural areas where getting police protection isn't really an option.

My family has land way up and out in Montana and I can promise you without a gun to protect yourself someone could kill/eat you bury/poop you (out) and no one would even know until the mail was overflowing.

It shows how large the US is in regards to how urban areas function vs rural and why not all policies work for all states effectively.

Surtur
What if someone can prove they are in actual danger? Should there be a way to fast track it? Come on guys. I'm imagining someone living in one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago being in danger and having to wait 30 days.

When I say danger I don't mean just living in a bad area. Little kids have been murdered by drug dealers over stuff their parents did. They will target families.

I do not live in one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago, I have said this. My neighborhood has gotten increasingly worse over the years, but it's no ghetto. The worst places here look like demilitarized zones.

Lets say you have a mother a father and a kid. The father gets mixed up in crime and gangs. Gets killed. Sometimes these gangs will target the families in retaliation as well. The mother wants to get a gun to protect herself and child. She should wait 30 days?

As to your question, I'm not talking about situations where you just live in a bad neighborhood. I'm talking about a specific threat on a persons life. So yes, if there are people who specifically want to do me harm I don't wanna wait 30 damn days.

I don't think a month is unreasonable at all. The idea of them taking their time to do a thorough background check is comforting.

Having just gone through the process of getting my first ever passport, they could do it similar to that. Have a month be like the worst case scenario, and if you pay more, you could have it expedited. With a passport, the baseline is about 3 months from the time you do all the paperwork to when you get it, but you can pay to get that time down to a few weeks, and you can pay even more to get it down to like 10 days. Could do the same with guns.

Because you likely were, as you've on multiple occasions have said that you need a gun to protect yourself from potential gang shootings.

If someone feels their life is in immediate danger due to a specific known threat, they should call the police instead of going to the gun store, or at least before going. That's just sensible.

So, like passports you'd only have to do the long background check once every 10 or so years?

Gangs are in a lot of neighborhoods unfortunately, not just the worst of the worst.

And again: ideally going to the police would help, but that is not always the case.

Sure. Even less, as how I understand it, once you have a passport it's pretty quick and easy to get it renewed. Once you pass a full and thorough background check for buying a gun a quicker one every 10-20 years would probably be fine .

That would be reasonable, though I'd probably have it every couple of years. After all, if you passed the extended background check in July of 2019. future checks would only have to cover the time after July 2019.

True. Good point.

Robtard
If it's not for every new gun purchase, then it potentially bypasses people who committed a felony (or any other crime that would prohibit someone from owning a gun) after already passing and the main purpose of these checks is to catch the people most likely to commit a gun related crime.

The only way to combat corruption is:

1. Expose illegal corruption
2. Make legal corruption, illegal

Support the Anti-Corruption Act, work with your local politicians to get it passed at the local level. Notify the FBI and your state police when you see corruption within the CPD. Make sure you have evidence.




Making changes requires work. You cannot just claim someone is corrupt and expect the corruption to stop. Look at all the people with TDS: almost none of them are changing anything and are just whining.



But I do think the government should put a cap on the paperwork processing periods and it cannot exceed 20 days.

I hate to be a party pooper (man, these puns are so spicy that even Thai people can't handle them) but I have some bad news for you: I could kill you and your entire family before any of you could grab your guns even if your guns were under your pillow. And I'm not anywhere close to a professional. All it takes is a little bit of planning and then execution (damn...I am thoroughly impressed with myself. I need a moment. I have to pat myself on the back a bit more for the puns).

If someone wants to kill you, they will kill you. The probability that you will be attacked out in the country is many times lower than in a city, however. Within 20 feet, a gun is not the best weapon to defend yourself. Inside of a home, if you are more than 20 feet away from an invader, you're just in a terribly crappy situation.

This 30 day shit would probably hurt minorities the most.

How would a black single mother living in the ghetto begin the process of exposing the deep corruption that is seeded throughout this city?

I covered this already.

None. Absolutely none in the last forever that I can see.

The Texas Church shooter should have been stopped by the existing gun laws from getting the guns he used to kill people, by the way. We don't need more laws (we actually need a federal law that raises the standards and requires all states to have a minimum standard in place). We need to enforce the laws we already have, implement universal healthcare that also offers mental healthcare, and start encouraging our children to seek professional help for their mental problems.

Lets say you have a mother a father and a kid. The father gets mixed up in crime and gangs. Gets killed. Sometimes these gangs will target the families in retaliation as well. The mother wants to get a gun to protect herself and child. She should wait 30 days?

No. Not at all.

That's a stupid decision by the mother and she will fail horribly to protect herself and her surviving child.

She should be put into protective custody and quietly moved to another location for her safety.



Let me be more clear: I have done the speed run targeting shooting. I'm really damn good. I would get my ass shot to swiss cheese in the mother's scenario if I was in her position as long as it was a 'surprise clean-up hit.' This is not the movies. If a gang of killers who have killed people are targeting you, you will die unless you sneak kill them first (all their entire gang). You can't John Wick your way through those scenarios.

Surtur
Again dude, yeah maybe she should be put in protective custody but...I mean, this is the CPD lol.

I don't think a month is unreasonable at all. The idea of them taking their time to do a thorough background check is comforting.

Background checks take seconds. It is just a database query. It shouldn't take that long.

For security clearances, I've had to request my background check get done. Years ago, it took 30 seconds. This is Oklahoma, a state not known for it's up-to-date infrastructure.

The only other element to a background check is the credit check. That also takes seconds. Reality is, a background check should take a few minutes and there is no excuse for it to take more than 10 days. The waiting period is to make people consider shooting up something in anger. That's legit, though.

Having just gone through the process of getting my first ever passport, they could do it similar to that. Have a month be like the worst case scenario, and if you pay more, you could have it expedited. With a passport, the baseline is about 3 months from the time you do all the paperwork to when you get it, but you can pay to get that time down to a few weeks, and you can pay even more to get it down to like 10 days. Could do the same with guns.

I remember that. It doesn't need to take that long. The USCIS is so backlogged and running such an out of date process that it takes them that long. It should take seconds to complete it and then whatever snail mail takes to get it. It's one of the things on my "agenda" to get fixed.

This is something I've talked about, before. Democrats don't realize that they are still parading about the same bullshit racist talking points that they did over 150 years ago - anything to disarm black people is a good idea to Democrats.


Disarm black people, make them dependent upon you to survive, have a built in voter base. This is almost a direct paraphrase of what Johnson said the Democratic party's strategy was. You think I'm joking?

Here's the wonderful LBJ write up from MSNBC about his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement and what a giant racist piece of crap he is:

If I can convince you to take off of work, join me at the speed-run range - I am legendary and I missed my calling as a room-clearer. It's like I was born to run through rooms killing people with direct headshots.


Glad I didn't join the military - I don't want to kill anyone.

Even their heroes are racist.

This is like the time I watched every single episode of sons of anarchy and was like "who am I supposed to be rooting for?".

Jax. You're supposed to be rooting for Jax. He's supposed to be the one truly righteous person in the show. He starts out being a gang-banger. Then learns to grow up and mature. Then has to make some hard decisions. Then learns he wants a good life for his son.

You should have liked that scene. His ex wife, who was a junky, was ruining his kid's life and using the sexist system to take his son away and potentially cause harm to his son.


It was about men's rights and a man taking justice into his own hands to get a druggy out of his son's life. smile

I loved the scene, but Jax is legit a murderer tho, has killed innocents.

The animals man which is why I stated eat and poop you out, black bears, grizzly bears, coyotes, wolves, mountain lions, moose, loose bulls. You clearly put too much thought into that tactical exercise, large animals are a threat in Montana. No matter how careful you are they will inevitably be drawn to food or live stock.

Yep he did. You remember how Opie died? He killed the cop who made it happen, but also murdered his wife(who yes, was innocent).

And his ex wife had been clean for years and done nothing wrong when he stuck a heroin needle in her.

That's not an innocent. He killed a murderer. And Tig shot Sookie, not Jax. Jax beat Mackey to death with the globe.

Also, the wife, correctly so, was shooting at them with a shotgun when they invaded the home to kill Mackey.

You left out the part where Wendy tried to blackmail Jax and Tara to let her come back into Abel's life at the threat of getting Abel removed from Tara and Jax. After, of course, she moved away for years before magically showing back up to get partial custody of her son that she smoked meth with while she was pregnant with Abel. There was bad blood between them when she left and very bad blood between them when she came back.

Sure, we as the audience are made to feel sympathetic to Wendy but she was playing the gangster B.S. stuff, too.

Jax made the right decision to end himself because he knew he was bad news for Abel and Thomas. He wanted to end the cycle like his father tried to do but Jax ended up back "in he club" and the system.

Surtur
I guess my memory is foggy, but Wendy had a point. Abel shouldn't have been around Jax.

And remember the reason Jax has to die? He killed that other members son after manipulating him.

Surtur
Also hold up the wife killing was at a time when Jax was in charge. He didn't give a shit about what Tig did. He didn't scold him or anything so. He didn't pull the trigger, but he brought psychopaths and murderers to that home.

So he's still a piece of shit who condones the murder of innocents, at the very least.

That's leftist logic.

He didn't order it and he didn't do it. At no point was Jax on board with killing Mackey's wife. It wasn't even discussed. Just Tig being a bit crazy. Possibly due to Sookie shooting at them with a shotgun.

Surtur
Jax said nothing to Tig about "that was wrong".

I think the leader of a murderous gang shares some responsibility when he brings them to go on a murder.
