Firstly, I never said "local gun store." That's Dave's illiteration

allow it to happen. Besides, we wouldn't want to restrict Cheney from

And that part is wrong...gun shows should be required to do background
checks, etc. just like any other gun dealer. And buying a gun should
require more than a valid driver's license. I have no qualms about gun
buyers having to prove their citizenship and a clean background
check...I just have problems with the stance that guns cause these

He used a hunting weapon...that would not be inclusive in what we're

That part is the important part that needs to be fixed. It's a hoax
perpetuated by the extreme right gun-toting that people who want
regulation want a complete ban or "blame" guns. Sure, there are people
on the extreme edge that advocate that, but that's unrealistic and
never going to happen.

Actually you can. But it's not quite that simple. You have to pass a
rigorous FBI background check which takes about 6 to 9 months. And you have
to pay for a Federal permit to own such a weapon. The permit, last I knew,
cost around $400 in fees, tax, and msc. charges per gun. You can also buy
almost any gun with a silencer as well, if you are willing to pay the fees
and can pass the same background check. What's truly interesting is that
those guns never get used in the commission of a crime. It's all the
illegally-circulating ones that do.

We have tons of gun control. The 1968 Gun Control Act, for example, and
myriad others, both at the state and federal level. When I was a kid, you
could mail order virtually any gun, including WWII Lugers and P38s, if you
were 18 or older.

1) Yes, you could conceivably buy a machine gun--more likely a submachine
gun--at a gun show, but you'd have to jump through the same set of hoops as
if you'd bought it from a licensed gun dealer. $400 federal tax, fees,
etc., permit, 6-9 month waiting period, extremely extensive FBI background
check etc.

2) You can't buy fully automatic weapons from a private seller without
transacting the sale through an FFL dealer with the above provisions. It's
illegal to do otherwise, thanks to gun control laws. So does it happen?
Probably. What does that tell you about gun control laws?

Why have any laws at all, Max. They all get broken. Making murder a
criminal offense doesn't stop all murders from happening as far as I
can tell. So why make it a crime?


So it's all or nothing with you. people will always break the law so
making something illegal does not abolish the problem forever. It
only restricts those who are law abiding from taking those actions.
Making gun ownership illegal will only stop law abiding citizens from
owning them, not criminals. Criminals are the one that break the law
so it would do nothing to solve the problem.

First I never said we should just have completely unfettered access to

we have instead of adding more laws to the mix. The ones we have are
adequate but not enforced 100%. I also see this as a very exceptional
case that should not spark an over emotional response into doing
something that would hurt more people than it would help. There is no
evidence that banning guns will stop violent crimes. I am not saying
we should just let eveyrone have all the guns they want. I never did

You continue to claim that I am in favor of banning guns. I'm not. Please
feel free to repost where I said that.

I am in favor of reducing the number of guns on the streets and of making it
very difficult for their purchase. The current laws do not rise to that
level. The assault rife ban is a case in point. It didn't go far enough, and
as someone else pointed out, was about what the weapon looked like, rather
than what it could actually do.

Nope... when was the last time you were in a gun show that there
wasn't someone dealing under the table?

I haven't been to a gun show for quite a while, but I've NEVER seen
anyone
deal below the table. Everything is closely scrutinized and the players
are
above board. Now--when was the last time you were at a gun show--ever.

Therefore, it must be true. Last year.

2) You can't buy fully automatic weapons from a private seller without
transacting the sale through an FFL dealer with the above provisions.
It's
illegal to do otherwise, thanks to gun control laws. So does it
happen?
Probably. What does that tell you about gun control laws?

Sure. It's illegal. I'm sure no one breaks the law.

No legally obtained full-auto weapons have ever been used in the
commission
of a crime.

Has nothing to do with my comment.


Halliburton does.

You're a stockholder?


No, but I believe Karl (Achtung!) Rove is.

Oh gee...let me think. How about a gun show? Nah, that would never
happen.

1) Yes, you could conceivably buy a machine gun--more likely a
submachine
gun--at a gun show, but you'd have to jump through the same set of
hoops
as
if you'd bought it from a licensed gun dealer. $400 federal tax,
fees,
etc., permit, 6-9 month waiting period, extremely extensive FBI
background
check etc.

Why have any laws at all, Max. They all get broken. Making

murder a
criminal offense doesn't stop all murders from happening

as far as I
can tell. So why make it a crime?



Laws were meant to be broken.
