    Strict background checks are fine, but limiting an everyday, sane, law following person's right to own guns is bullshit.

    Yes. What law was proposed in the last 7 years that has limited sometimes right to own a gun?

    It bans the type of guns a person can carry.

    Um no. No law at the federal level proposed that.

    It does not do that. It only banned future sales of certain weapons. Like the Brady bill. It does not limit what you can carry that you previously owned.

    And you are welcome.

    I support mandatory gun licenses, but all weapons should be legal as long as you are trained to operate them and not crazy. If you have to pass a safety class to drive a car I think you should have to pass a gun safety class to own a firearm. And hey, more tax revenue for the man, so they should be happy. And probably a mental health screening, but how do you get it administered fairly without politics influencing the results? That is the question.

    So since it ONLY restricts future purchases, that makes it ok? Again, it restricts the guns everyday, sane, law following citizens can purchase.

    I am completely for strict background checks. But if someone passes those checks, they should be able to buy whatever they want.

    If you can't see that restrictions on future gun purchases are a violation of the 2nd amendment, then you really are nuts.

    I was mostly with you until the end. The Brady bill was not ruled unconstitutional (and it lapsed 10 years later). Not to mention the laws that restrict fully automatic weapons.

    That being said, would you support everything else on that list if the gun ban were taken off?

    Why do more laws need to be passed for law abiding people to follow?

    What teal or imagined benefit do I receive?

    They want all the guns. So does Hondo. He's too gutless to say it. At ozone admitted it. So did some WaPo editorialist this week

    What's so bad about a gun free society?
