guns are (were) a state issue, but the Feds should be helping by suppressing guns illegally entering them
illegally entering them
If a state bans certain weapons, importing them would be illegal... The Feds have jurisdiction over interstate commerce so they should be helping the state by cracking down on those guns crossing the state line. Kinda like pot, states that legalized it are scrutinized by the Feds for exporters.
I disagree but I think ammosexual is hilarious.It's not going to just kill them, it's just going to do what needs to be done to ensure public safety as all the ammosexuals act out their silly fantasies of standing up against tyranny. I honestly do think it may come to that - the discourse around the issue is so poisoned by gun industry propaganda that there is no way to let off the steam in a productive way. They're creating a society where the problems with guns being everywhere are obvious, and eventually that built-up pressure will be let loose, but the ammosexuals aren't going to like what happens then. If they had more than few brain cells to rub together they'd yield now to get a seat at the table for a policy solution to this problem. As is the solution is going to be done by people like me who have no patience with pro-gun crap and think the 2nd amendment should just be trashed.
In the period after the civil war, when guns were probably in 85% of homes, we had numerous and regular violence especially in areas where there was social discord.I disagree but I think ammosexual is hilarious.
I find it very interesting that when we had a society with huge numbers of veterans and lots of households with guns we had a more democratic outcome, and now, with household ownership of guns reaching new lows, and the number of trained killers among masses reaching also new lows, we have an untouchable ruling elite unchallenged by the electoral process.
Hm, and reconstruction was one of the fairest legislative pushes for its time. Good catch.In the period after the civil war, when guns were probably in 85% of homes, we had numerous and regular violence especially in areas where there was social discord.
I suggest a wall and make Kansas pay for it !
The Feds cant even stop the import of Fenytal thats killing tens of thousands but you think the Feds can crackdown gun running ?
Iam sure that they already thought of this idea its just impractical.
How do you mean that ?
(Do not understand it )
As Berserker said, the Feds should be helping the states enforce their laws. For example: If AR-15s are banned in, say,California, but not in Arizona, there's not really anything in place to stop someone in California from going to Arizona, buying an AR-15 and bringing it back to California.
The bad faith arguments just keep coming up!
Guns are much harder to hide but are mostly legal, why would they have already thought it impractical? They're trying to keep pot from leaving states where its legal, the fact they dont catch it all dont matter. But going by your argument, wouldn't banning guns not only fail but result in more violence as a new, large black market is created?
That's not what the polls say. 60% of Americans call for stricter laws covering the sale of arms, only 5% of Americans ask them to be less strict.
That's the case since at least 1991, and probably even before. This didn't prevent the supreme court to actually make gun laws less strict, despite the public opinion, after the DC vs Heller case in 2008.
Gun laws continue to be less strict and less strict in the US, allowing now to get an AR-15 shipped online by Amazon in less than 2 days anywhere in the country. But according to the graph below, there's never been more than 14% of Americans actually asking for sales of guns to become less strict!
I'm all for accountability, but how would it have prevented Florida shooting? Vegas shooting? As a matter of fact, any mass shooting?
The very least would be to ban military style weapons such as AR-15 from public reach. And yes, I know it won't happen with Republicans holding the Congress, but the accountability proposal wouldn't happen with Republicans holding the Congress as well.
This entire aside is nothing but gibberish.
The FBI doesn't exist to enforce state laws anyway.
Who cares about Amazon?
If you are from Florida then you can also get to a gun show in no more than a few hours drive

Not renewing the 1994 assault weapons ban was a failure of epic proportion. I guess congress was too distracted with the ACA at the time.
How is the pot crackdown working out ? Lots of succesful intercepts for pot smuggling at state borders ?
Easier said then done
Might as well accpet that the tree of liberty is feed with the blood of school kids fromtime to time.monthly.
