We have about as many limits on guns as people like me find tolerable. You have to be specially licensed to sell guns commercially. You have to pass a background check to buy a gun from a commercial dealer. You have to go through a special process to own a suppressor, short-barreled shotgun, short-barreled rifle or exotic firearm. In many states, you have to be specially licensed to carry a loaded, concealed handgun out in public.
I was at the FREEDOM NOW CONFERENCE this weekend and one of the speakers said that GUN VIOLENCE is a made up word. and that HUMAN VIOLENCE is the proper term to use. and that is because a GUN IS JUST A TOOL USED BY A HUMAN TO CAUSE THE VIOLENCE. So the term HUMAN VIOLENCE would be a BETTER TERM.
Since none of the common sense gun control efforts are neither common nor make sense, I have trouble with many of the restrictions. As said under another thread, the forest is eliminated one tree at a time.
I think it is time for this thread to be revisited, in light of all the recent events.
We are already past the line of too many (IMO) limits/restrictions, so I say NO MORE.
No more bullshit laws that only help make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens.
No more limits which hurt the people trying to defend themselves and their families.

With respect to the 2A, it’s akin to the frog in the water pot. They just keep turning it up slowly.
While I can appreciate some reasonable restrictions, like automatics not being permitted, I have to agree that the real issue IS truly mankind and his proclivity for violence. How and with what instrument is used seems entirely not a factor. In GB, where they have removed firearms rights for years, they’re seeing many more knife attacks. Personally, I’d much rather deal with a guy threatening the public with a handgun than a knife.
