Active shooter in Las Vegas

[TSA]

I've been told gun control only stops good people from getting guns. So in the event a buyback was implemented, are all these illegal gun owners by definition bad people?

I think this will be predictably bogged down in pissy technicalities and jargon whoring, so tell us what you want to happen with gun laws and/or regulations after 58 were murdered and 500+ wounded by one senior citizen for no apparent reason.

lol
Ban certain types of guns!
Which kind?
Don't get into pissy technicalities

[Pavlov]

You asked me what I think should be done, I didn't come into this thread crying about bumpfire stocks because I knew people at the concert. This is literally the first mass shooting we've ever seen with a bumpfire stock, were you constantly writing your representatives asking for them to be banned before this happened? Did you do anything to get them confiscated before this happened? They've been around for years.

I'm not a gun nut so I didn't know about them. I'm glad you have revealed your threshold for considering any regulation at all -- something actually has to be used in a very high profile mass murder that isn't gang related nor domestic violence. Squeaky wheel legislation.

Why would they bother registering if they think it's the first step to confiscation like the propaganda always says?

Already said not everyone would register. Confiscation is too reactionary and too expensive to implement.

Personal nuclear weapons haven't killed one person.

Are personal nuclear weapons in common use?

I never said anything about banning certain types of guns.

Whenever a gun nut starts scoffing at general terms that normal people use, I think it's time to avoid the inevitable morass.

mods need to put ducks on a time out for pedo posting. i know ST lets a lot of go but that right there is demonic. 2 week ban should do the trick.

How expensive? Give me a ballpark number.

Are personal nuclear weapons in common use?

They are already banned tbh. See what the law did there?

Seems like Obama's ATF was in the same boat I am, these have been legal for years.

People close to the investigation said that in the weeks before the attack, Paddock transferred a large amount of money – something close to $100,000 – to someone in the Philippines, possibly his girlfriend.

I thought it's also alleged he had huge gambling debts.
What's the deal?

Dunno, but cheaper than registration.

They are already banned tbh. See what the law did there?

You think it's the law that is holding the common civilian back from owning nuclear weapons?

[TSA]

*ding*

Why didn't Obama's ATF ban them before this shooting occurred? It was obvious to anyone the bumpfire stocks could cause a lot of damage if one wanted to open fire on a group of people.

where is the chart showing lobbying by ALL gun/ammo mfrs? NRA is their marketing/propaganda/inflammatory/fear-mongering division, but they do their own lobbying, no doubt

[Pavlov]

Dunno

O

You think it's the law that is holding the common civilian back from owning nuclear weapons?

Dirty bombs? I'd have to say yes at this point. Stephen Paddock was a common civilian before Sunday; now you want his toys registered.

Moot.

Who needs these? Paddock could've bought as many as he wanted under your registration plan. Everyone still dies.

Let's back up, why did ducks start talking about peeing on 13 YO girls

id put him up there with Fabbs as one of the weirdest mother ers on this site, so this would explain a lot

I only pointed out that if government shouldn’t control guns, then they definitely shouldn’t control where people go to the bathroom. Out of nowhere ducks replies saying he wants to pee on my imaginary 13 year old daughter

He was only 64, therefore not a senior citizen. You can’t even get your facts straight! Your argument is invalid.

[monosylab1k]

so you think I should pee infront of your 13 year old daughter?

NEVER FORGET

[monosylab1k]

You should stop pretending to care about Chicago gang violence, no one is buying it.

Unless you have an idea for a solution to curb gang violence. Is it more guns for gangs?

The only way to stop a bad gang with guns is a good gang with guns

Moot.

Who needs these? Paddock could've bought as many as he wanted under your registration plan. Everyone still dies.

Why didn’t Paddock buy an assault rifle? Why has an assault rifle never been used in a mass murder in the US?

I just hope spurraider21 isn’t in criminal law.
