  • Humans are animals and some people seem to like killing them. By all means, let's mandate licensing and insurance to own guns. No one seems to have a problem with those being requirements for cars.

    Billions of dollars have been and are being spent to make cars less likely to kill people. But they have actual uses outside destroying things, unlike guns.

  • Great, you've identified that there are going to be edge cases in what I said in a non-binding web forum. My point was that if your guns are stolen and you don't notice or report it until the police show up weeks or months later you don't fall under the "responsible gun owner" label that everyone loves to throw around.

    Don't play dumb dude, we all know what guns are designed for regardless of your own personal use. You can just as easily put holes in paper from a distance with BB or airsoft guns that are significantly less lethal.

  • And then when there's yet another mass shooting they'll jump up and down about how we don't need new laws because the person was already legally barred from owning them and we just need to enforce the laws that are already on the books.

    If it's used to commit a crime before you report it, there should be huge penalties. And if you're just falsifying police statements, that's already a crime.

  • God forbid we get guns off the streets or out of the hands of criminals.

    I'd be much happier if they were doing it for guns instead of marijuana like they have for the last several decades.

    What makes you think it would be abused any more than warrants are right now?

  • If you jump straight to shooting when cops show up to take your toys, it's a pretty good bet you never should have had them in the first place.

    If you "lost" it they should tear your fucking house apart with a warrant to make sure it's really gone.
