Gun control in the US

Building your own gun from parts is nothing new, I'd imagime existing laws meant for that would cover 3D printing.

If Orange County Choppers can machine up a bike, it should be no trouble tooling a gun.

A Texas woman was arrested after she attempted to shoot a loose puppy that had run into the street, and accidentally struck her 5-year-old son in the abdomen, the Houston Police Department announced on Tuesday.

According to HPD, officers responding to reports of a shooting at Dunham Road on Saturday learned that 24-year-old Angelia Mia Vargas used a "small caliber pistol" to fire three shots "at a puppy running loose across the street."

One of those bullets apparently ricocheted and struck her child.

Oh Texas...

They're also about to make it easier for most anyone to open-carry: "Legislation to remove the requirement that anyone who carries a handgun in public must be trained and licensed by the state is just one step from becoming law." -snip

Gun control in the US should be done by shooting every person in the US, with a gun. Then nobody has a gun

Hopefully this is mocking the nihilism inherent in anti gun proliferation sentiment and not actual nihilism.

That's terrifying.

Bah. Why should anyone be trained and licensed to carry a gun out in public.

I support some gun control like no fly, no buy.

People who are deemed to be a danger unable to own guns.

Among other things.

Don't assault them and they won't shoot you.

He was assaulted after he already shot someone in the back of the head like a little *****.

I really hope the murderer Kyle Rittenhouse gets over 60 years of prison time and no early parole.

The person who supplied him the gun has charges now too.

Yeah, Whirly had posted it a few days ago, a (then) 19yo man decided it was a good idea to give a 17yo an assault rifle so they could go play as vigilantes. I hope he gets over 60 years too as an accomplice to the murders and attempted murders.

From a pragmatic point of view.

A few things stand out to me:

1. The whites have a lot of guns.

2. The strictest gun laws tend to be in places with a high minority population.

So Hawaii with its 60% Asian population, diverse places like New York City, all have very strict laws.

There's a disparate impact on who gets guns easier.

Add in the fact police are not considered reliable protection, and targeted killers usually bring guns..

I just wonder why you can't lobby for stronger gun control laws, AND maybe encourage vulnerable populations to arm themselves for their own protection?

I mean, you can do both. Go after guns, while also dealing with a reality that they are out there, and they'll probably be used against you. Why make it easy by disarming yourselves and let them have all the guns?

Stronger gun control laws means taking way guns that are better designed for people protecting themselves against not only criminals and terrorists but also tyrannical governments. Being armed with only shotguns, pistols, BB/pellet guns, and squirt guns does not help when fighting against superior and well armed numbers.

F*** gun control.

Well said.

Why did G1 Megatron turn into a gun?

Well, the reason Tom Griffin and Joe Bacal gave in one of the bonus featurettes of the Shout Factory sets is that when they got the toys, they basically thought about what kids would think, and because kids loved cars, they made those the good guys. Planes, not everyone is sure about planes, so they made them the bad guy henchmen.

As for the gun toy they imported, they just reasoned, and I'm quoting Mr. Bacal's words directly that featurette:

"Guns... guns are not good, that'll be the head bad guy."

So yeah, the nature of guns as an offensive weapon, a death-dealing tool, was the reason why they decided to make Megs a gun.

As for in-universe... no idea.

Pretty ironic when he became by far one of the most popular Transformers of all time. 🙂

If you don't live in the U.S. then you should STFU about lecturing us on getting stronger gun control laws. Mind your own country's god**** business and keep your noses out of ours.

Bottom line is we have an inalienable right to make sure we can keep adequately protecting ourselves. You don't like our 2nd amendment? Too bad and tough shit because it's here to stay so piss off.
