A NRA Member Makes Some Humble Suggestions on Gun Control

Few things exist on which there is more BS spoken than gun control.

It's highly unlikely, indeed almost impossible, that confiscating weapons like AR-15s or similar will do anything at all to combat killings, mass or otherwise, in the USA or anywhere else for that matter. People who are crazy enough to want to mass murder will, unfortunately, find a way.

You only have to look to Paris, where personal gun ownership is virtually illegal for private citizens and multiple dozens of people were murdered by jihadis at the Bataclan Theater and across the city, or Chicago, another supposedly gun-free zone, relatively anyway, where five were murdered and at least 29 wounded over the last weekend alone, for corroboration.

Things are a bit different when you can legally buy a rifle in some states without so much as a paper trail.

Maybe we should just legalize all drugs as well since people "will, unfortunately, find a way)

It's fine to reference other cities with strict gun laws but why not compare their gun related deaths to the US then? Ah, because that wouldn't suit your narrative.

that logic will provide reason to ban just about anything. Tread lightly

No matter what the Politian will not be included in these laws as usual. They will have their weapons and body guards while the Public will have no defense. The Politians should be made to install a security fence and alarm system with cameras around my property like they have if I cannot have a weapon of choice or tear their security down.

Yeah and here is want you do, WITHOUT GIVING UP RIGHTS... You make schools have bullet proof stuff, like windows and doors and have a guard or two... People only go where they know they can shoot someone and either attempt to get away or fight it out with cops... Funny you mentioned bombs, because the Boston bomber, which was fake by the way, you know false flag, used a pressure cooker to make a clamor pretty much, and I don't see anyone calling for the ban of pressure cookers or ball bearings... NO they went right for the guns even when it was a bomb not a gun... GUN RIGHTS only protect us and our other rights, plain and simple and if you can't see that the you actually want and are calling for slavery, and tyranny and oppression... The other main reason is to not have what the president of china just did, and made himself a dictator... Lets see if you can make a corrupt politician leave office without a gun...

Northwest Woodsman: Something just occurred to me. I’ll bet if a gun manufacturer developed and marketed a single shot rifle that looks exactly like an AR-15 Marxist democrats would still try to ban it because it looks scary.

Actually, Chicago is in a right-to-carry state. It's regulated, but legal. Not like Maryland where you have to have a reason, or everyone else is denied. I think just living in Chicago is a reason.

NEW Gun control laws are a waste of time. Criminals do not care about laws. If they did they wouldn't be criminals.Law abiding citizens should have the right to possess whatever type guns the criminals have.RED FLAG LAWS WILL BE ABUSED BY PISSED OFF FAMILY MEMBERS OR OTHERS.EXAMPLE-THE SHOOTING OF A OLD MAN BY POLICE AT 5:30 AM A FEW MONTHS AGO IN ANNAPOLIS.
