Trump to take steps to ban bump stocks

[roamer_1]

I’ve only bought one used and it was from someone I knew very well and trusted its condition.  Otherwise, I agree.  There’s only one new weapon that ever gave me trouble.  Oddly enough, it was a revolver.  I found out later Rossi revolvers are known for timing issues.

I have no trouble buying used.  Condition is really easy to determine in guns, even on the fly. Optics, like I said, is a different story. I have been bit by optics.

Do you think there are groups of people who shouldn't be able to buy a gun?

Yes. Liberals.

[roamer_1]

Yes. Liberals.

NICE.

 

[LauraTXNM]

Yes. Liberals.

I shouldn't be able to protect myself?

[RoosGirl]

I shouldn't be able to protect myself?

Sure, but only with your hands, a knife, a hammer, a baseball bat or some other tool that does not have small projectiles exiting it at high speeds.

Asinine snarkiness duly noted.

I read a post earlier, but now I can't find it to share with you all.  Someone said in NC, you get a permit to buy a weapon from the sheriff: they run the background check, and you pay $5 for the permit.  You take that paper to the dealer and they complete the sale. 

If the LEO runs the background check, that seems to take care of asking private parties to do it.  This would make it easy for private sellers and dealers.

What do you all think of this?

Heh.  Why ;)?

[RoosGirl]

Asinine snarkiness duly noted.

It was neither asinine, nor snark.  You just are new enough that you cannot properly appreciate my unique brand of humor.

I do note that you seem intent on asking basically the same question, just in a different way.  To me the goal seems to be to try to get concession from those of us who are not inclined to give away our rights. Even. One. Little. Bit. But perhaps I am reading your intent wrong.

I was serious about people who self-identify as liberals not being allowed to purchase firearms.  Might as well skip to the chase and let them live the end-game they want to unload on all of us.  Besides that, it is fairly well documented that liberalism is a mental disorder.  Nobody wants mental degenerates to be in possession of firearms.  Right?

You know, when LEO cleans house of all those within its ranks that are even a molecule's width similar to the bleep ups in Broward I might pause for a second to think my way through how the above scenario would play out.  I'd still probably say "No." but I would at least think about it.

1) You are reading my intent wrong.
2) If I repeat questions, it's because I'm slow and don't understand. I've been appreciative of the people who are patient with me.
3) I don't want to confiscate people's guns; my family has had and still has guns. 
4) Just ignore me, please, since you know I'm mentally disordered.

You do know this is a conservative forum, right?  You're going to get some shit if you come in claiming to be a liberal.  You seem like a fair minded lady.  We'll work on your sense of humor.  ^-^

[roamer_1]

Because I do not want uncle nanny knowing what weapons I have, ever. period.
I will not comply with registration.

And it can't be black plastic either.

The NC story has nothing to do with registration, does it?  All it does is have the Sheriff run the NICS check instead of the store.

I don't care.
Do you really think they don't record the fact ?
Why would I do any such nonsense when I can easily avoid it, along with all its hoops?
Nope.

Awww... you have a soft spot for liberals.  That's so cute. Why don't you go find some church lady to bleep with, you seem to enjoy that so much.

What do you all think of this?

So in NC you have to ask permission to buy a handgun from the Sheriff? And you think this makes it easy?



Currently, in order to buy a handgun, whether from a licensed dealer or a private individual, North Carolinians are required to either A) obtain and present a pistol purchase permit from the sheriff of the county in which they reside, or B) obtain and present a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit.

[thackney]

But until we have laws again that keep serious murderers, rapists, and pedophiles on death row or in prison for life, I don't think they should be allowed to buy weapons again. 

Those whose crimes require them to be kept apart from society do not have the right to buy a weapon, they are in prison.

t's interesting -- I've seen (mostly) conservatives complain about Virginia giving felons their voting rights back.  Do you all see that as hypocritical?

Many states let felons get back the right to vote, including Texas.

Pursuant to Section 11.002 of the Texas Election Code (the "Code"), once a felon has successfully completed his or her punishment, including any term of incarceration, parole, supervision, period of probation, or has been pardoned, then that person is immediately eligible to register to vote.

[Elderberry]

Under Texas state law a convicted felon may possess a firearm in the residence, in which he lives, once five years have elapsed from the date his sentence was discharged.

He can't buy one(fails NICS), but he can possess one in his home.

[LauraTXNM]

So in NC you have to ask permission to buy a handgun from the Sheriff? And you think this makes it easy?

The idea was that it was cheaper and faster to get the background check that way.  The original NC poster seemed to think it was a good idea.  I'll try to find the original post again.

[LauraTXNM]

I don't care.

Ok, thanks!
