Another Mass Shooting: It's Those Darn Video Games!

Re: Another Mass Shooting: It's Those Darn Video Games!

TFW you lay out an amazing predicate for why these guns should be banned because they're not useful for hunting nor are they reasonable for self defense.

I'm pretty sure a practiced revolver shooter could put out 41 rounds in 30 seconds*, and that would involve 6 reloads.

Revolver. (But again, heat would be an issue.)

So revolvers are not useful for self-defense?


*The world record is for 12 revolver shots (fire six shots, reload, fire six shots from 1 revolver) is under 3 seconds.

I've been thinking about getting one of those little small caliber purse pistols with a snub nose and a hair trigger. What does that say?

Weak wrist?

You sound like 90% of the gun nuts I've met in the last decade. Your guns are there to express what a powerful man you are. I find that sad.

I live where there are animals in the countryside that see you as a threat (in the case of momma moose), or prey*. That's why I carry.

I find target shooting relaxing as it forces me to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand. It's a recreational hobby for me.

I have my concealed carry permit because (a) I'm not an open carry fan, and (b) if it's not in my vault I want it under my control and not locked in a vehicle.


*Heck, the predators are going out of rural Cass County into subdivisions. That was under 2 miles from a sibling's house. Meow.

How about this, we get rid of the weapons of war that serve no purpose other than to paint the streets red and then we can have discussions about world class revolver shooters?

What processor do you use for those 30-50 feral hogs you bag?

[First Time, Long Time]

To turn milk jugs of water into confetti at a gun range. To create air holes in plywood at a gun range.

Or kill lots of people in a single go not at a gun range. Up to the user.


*ding*ding*ding*

So in other words...no need for it at all...just another phallic enhancement.

Sounds like we almost had another one today in Austin.

You have to carry because of a f-ing moose? Lol dude, just don’t get in between mama and babies and you’re fine. Give your balls a tug.

Heck, the park that has our main soccer complex has black bears all the time and nobody uses a gun.

Seriously, put the gun down and give your balls a tug.

“Won’t you think of the children” is not the PRO-GUN argument I would have expected, but here we are I suppose https://t.co/QGuOUnvcgP

Re: Another Mass Shooting: It's Those Darn Video Games!

Proposal to become law; some details I'm sure need to be ironed out, but here goes (and this is only part of what I desire in reform).

For Manufacturers:
As of June 1, 2019, whatever you are currently producing, you can continue to produce. However, any new designs/new guns in the works, all those plans must be scrapped.
You cannot enhance the weapons in production as far as performance. You can enhance safety features, however.
If you currently offer options for magazine size, the smallest one becomes the only option for purchase. (Model X can have a 9-, 15-, or 20-round mag, so 9-round stays, the rest go).
You can enhance weapons cosmetically (pearl handles, gold-plated, My Little Pony themed, etc), as long as the performance is not enhanced.

All of the above will be termed "Factory Standard." I chose a past date, so the manufacturers cannot change a bunch of stuff at the last minute to skirt the new regulations.

Now, for the gun owners/buyers:
ANY after-market modification is now illegal, cosmetic or otherwise. Whatever you bought from the manufacturer/shop/etc, that's how it's going to be, period. No exceptions (which eliminates all the what-ifs and what-abouts).
If you have a modified gun, which includes larger than Factory Standard magazines, you must revert your weapon back to Factory Standard specs.
If you cannot revert, weapon must be surrendered.***
Punishment (and I'm open for suggestions):
$1000/per weapon AND 100 hours of community service in a year's time.
$1000-$5000 AND 100 hours of community service in a year's time.

The reason for those punishments, is there's a better chance of getting the money, prisons are too crowded, so make them improve the community they live in.

***Now, about surrendering the weapon. Here's the chance for a buyback/exchange, etc. The manufacturers could score big points on this if they offer to take in the modified weapon, and replace it with the same/equivalent non-modified weapon. No one loses their guns, Factory Standard makes each model uniform in performance.

The above requires everyone to give a little, and they also get a little back. You now have limits on clip sizes, performance mods are gone, no "bigger better faster" gun will be produced (at least for the public; armed forces are obviously a different story).

Some people should never have kids. We got a few on here.
