re: #263 TedStriker

I’m sorry, I respect you, but I think you’re going in the extreme opposite direction as the RWNJs who are spinning all of this to pitch that their “black rifles” be untouched.

AR-pattern, AK-pattern, and other “assault” rifles should be hobbled, if not banned outright, for civilian sale and use, because there’s just no good reason for civilians to have that kind of firepower on tap. But to hobble antique firearms that were designed specifically for civilian use (or even WWII/Korean War rifles like the M1 and Garand) just wouldn’t be right and it wouldn’t solve a damned thing with what’s been going on the past few years or more.

Here is my original post on the subject:

“Treat all autoloading guns like machine guns. Register them with the ATF and make them subject to a $250 transfer fee for any sale, just like machine guns. That’s already law that has passed Constitutional muster. Pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Make the maximum capacity of any gun six rounds. Ban any clip or magazine with a capacity of greater than six rounds except for licensed gun ranges where you can go and rent a high-cap clip to get your jollies. Pistols and semi-auto rifles would be limited to six round clips. Shotguns and pump-action rifles would be required to have plugs to limit the capacity of the gun to six rounds.

This isn’t taking away your guns. This is common sense.

Institute a trade program, funded by the Feds, to replace larger clips with smaller capacity clips. Cheap. No hardship.

This bullshit has got to end.”

I don’t think that’s unreasonable. We can agree to disagree.

Night, Lizards. Sweet scaly dreams.
