You make a reasoned argument for common sense law. "I've shot (pun intended) my mouth off regarding my views on the need for reasonable gun control laws, basically supporting universal background checks, gun registration, a chain of custody record of ownership and standardization of the myriad state laws. I believe they should apply to both FFL dealer purchases and subsequent private sales." This is exactly the import of the referendum Washington voters just passed by 60%+. Our legislature is too weak to take it up so the citizens have done it for themselves. You would not believe the apoplexy demonstrated by gun owners here. You'd have thought they were being castrated while their kids were deep fat fried by "liberals." Common sense laws covering the sale of weapons needs to happen in this country, otherwise there's no chance of holding idiots, assholes and scumbags responsible for those same guns leaking into the hands of criminals. Background checks on every gun sale will help stem the flow of legal weapons into criminal hands. It's not a panacea, just a step along the way to a safer citizenry. Thanks for voicing your opinion. Unfortunately, Richard, in posting what he did, was not following the Republican/Conservative/Libertarian official line here, and just about every member of that clique attacked his post and then attacked Richard personally, several with increasing nastiness. That I am sure was one of the reasons he's bailed from what is left of rec.boats, at least bailed for a while. Not a surprise. There is no amount of common sense that'll allow the partisans to see the merits of tighter control. The number of incidents happening nationwide doesn't have an affect of them. More guns is always the answer. I've been reading Harvard's school of public health studies about the effect guns have in western cultures. Quite edifying. More guns = more death, more intimidation, more violence and death of women, more child death and injury, etc. It's pretty clear, some folks just don't want to see it. You guys are funny. Is this how your tea parties are, a bunch of lying assholes patting each other on the back, and blaming everything on anyone who isn't in the room.... lol. |
