Semi automatic to automatic? Is that like getting half a stiffy? And he did all that damage with a floppy... just think of how many kids he could have murdered with a proper hard on. I bet Republicans get stiff just thinking about it.

I don't really understand what that question means.

You seem to be asking. Do I have any limits on what restrictions I would say no towards? Lots of them. For one, I don't think we really need to ban anything.

If you saw gun deaths fall towards the background noise of other deaths. I'd care a lot less about it. If guns were present in a manner that didn't have ramifications for others, like police having to use significantly different tactics than many other countries, I wouldn't care. I don't have any ideology about wanting to ban guns or anything like that. I own a lot of them. I also know that I'm interested enough in the hobby and the safety and disrupting the fetishism culture that if I were required to maintain competency with my weapons in order to bring them outside of my home, then I would do that.

Suppressors are unlikely to increase the amount of successful gun crimes anything significant and should probably not be NFAd. They have enough benefits to take the gamble and see what happens.

For whatever reason, the minimal hoop of enhanced background check and a small safety and legal course results in CHL holders being a self-selected bunch that are safer than the average Joe In gun ownership. So let's expand that. Not go to the opposite direction.

At the end of the day, a great majority of gun killings are done with impulsive moves that are transient. It is coupling of intent with means.
The means are probably significantly safer in the hands of those who took the subject seriously, invested time and energy into it And are browbeat into disrupting the fetishism and Billy badass bullshit that many gun owners carry.

Causes of murder in the US:
Firearms14,415
Cutting/Piercing1,781
Suffocation502
Striking217
Poisoning135
Fire/Burning131
Drowning44
Motor vehicle27
Fall5
Other/Unspecified2,105


It's simply isn't true that if you reduce firearm murders they will just convert to other murders. And so that's what I care about.

I apologize if I didn't word the question clearly. I'm basically saying "You're the king of the universe and remembering that the second amendment exists and the firearms serve purposes beyond killing people. What would you do to fix the American gun violence problem. Be as detailed as you want, but you only get one kick at the can."

If putting a gun next to somebody in homicidal or suicidal crisis did not impact their likelihood of acting on those tendencies or completing the act, then I would agree with you. But it does. As long as we put our head in the sands on this as ideologues that we will not fix the problem.

Okay, so you're in favor of red flag laws.

There's probably some compromise to be had there. I would suspect that they mostly only help rampage mass shootings and suicide prevention.
Most gun related homicides are because a gun was brought to an argument, very often interpersonal.
