It also inhibits someone from privately reselling bulk buys to street thugs. It accomplishes something that paper pushing can't.

Food for thought;

2,174 deaths of american soldiers in Afghanistan from 2001-2012

8,908 murders in Illinois from 2001-2011

Guns aren't the problem, it's the people who use them

Well last night i had my gun safe open...i was pleading with my guns not to shoot somebody. I guess they listened, because not a single one of my EBR's even so much as moved on their own, let alone shot anybody.

The whole enchilada rolled up in one sentence.

How about:
1. Use a gun in a crime = death sentence
2. Sell guns illegally to gang bangers = death sentence
etc...

This should make the far left's head spin

Soon it will also be illegal to question or confront the Democrats on any agenda.

So I burn more gas (contributing to more air pollution, BTW), spend more on each gun and get a background check done 12 times rather than just one time.....the only folks that law helps are oil companies who sell more gas, government employees who get more overtime checking the same guy out 12 times rather than 1, and maybe the gun dealer who makes more selling 12 guns individually instead of as a package deal for a discount.

This is no different than Pubs passing laws harassing women seeking abortions. We did that here in TX, forcing doctors to do a sonogram (sp?) and to make the doctors play the sound of the baby's heartbeat to those abortion seeking women. Will this stop the woman from getting her abortion? No. Will it harass that woman? Absolutely.

Limiting gun buyers to one gun a month is exactly the same kind of deal.....harassment that achieves nothing except more government jobs enforcing a law just for the sake of having a law.
So Bill, I assume you want no new laws on gun control what so ever?

Because that is the only way to assure that you get the strictest gun control laws down the road.

No no no. Gun violence is bad. Other violence is perfectly OK.

Now most of the guns used to kill people in DC are purchased from states farther south.

We need federal laws.
And an administration that does not supply Mexican drug dealers with the same weapons they are trying to prevent law-abiding US citizens from owning.

I have to agree with Bill. The laws we have now haven't stopped the criminals.

Why are you failing to address the real problem? Access to guns IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

That's exactly right. I don't see any compromise on that issue. Of course, as a libertarian, I feel that way about lots of things. Coincidentally, as a Libertarian, I'm used to losing, whether it is foreign policy, welfare, guns, drugs, seat belt laws, alcohol laws, smoking bans, whatever. Just don't ask me to voluntarily vote to give up my rights and freedoms, or, for that matter, the rights and freedoms of others.

You may be, no, you probably are right that even more gun control up to and including mass grabbing by govt. will occur. I still won't voluntarily walk to the collection center, nor will I voluntarily vote for those who will vote to set up those collection centers.

And I do understand that you are not promulgating or promoting gun grabbing, just giving the (valid, IMHO) opinion that grabbing and curtailing of gun rights will happen, sooner or later.

The difference between the right and left.

Right = Everyone has a right to an opinion
