Thread Name: BS: Shooting tragedies and guns
Subject: RE: BS: Shooting tragedies and guns
For the one millionth time, no one wants to ban all guns, gn-ze... That's never been talking point or goal of the folks who want saner gun laws... That is NRA propaganda that they use to try to paint sane people as lunatics...

Personally, I'm sick of reading "ban all guns"... It's bullshit and we don't need to be repeating NRA propaganda...

I mean, there are a lot of very reasonable and sane adults who want to see the following laws enacted:

1. Ban military style assault rifles even though they are sold a semi-automatic...

2. Ban high capacity magazines (clips) that hold over 10 rounds...

3. Close the gun-show loophole...

4. Require anyone who owns a pistol to register it and provide a "certificate of proficiency" to own it...

5. Invest what is needed for background checks to work in a timely manner, which it currently doesn't do...

6. Ban "open carry" of all handguns except for police... I don't want to go into a restaurant and have a dozen cowboy wnatabees come in with pistols strapped to their legs...

7. Create a 24 hour waiting period for the purchase of any gun...

These are reasonable...

Oh yeah... Before the usual cast of characters step up and say that we just can't enforce those laws let me say this: defeatism is not a debating point...
