1. Prohibition doesn't work.

A healthy society is one where people can look at things like alcohol without killing themselves with it.

It's like trickle down.

This shit only works from the bottom up.


But having said that, in situations like the one we're in, alternatives to the best way may be needed. I honestly think there's no going back now. And I'm not even going to repeat myself because my answer to most of our problems comes back to the one thing I mention most. Rats in a cage.

Also, if I were faced with fixing the problem, I'd start with the things Bernie Sanders is talking about:
Income equality
Free tuition
Health care for all

This stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.

34. I do not see the ideas proposed in the OP as "prohibition".

Very strict regulation, yes.

But one can still own and use handguns with the proposal.

Let's not straw man this one.

2. Second Amendment

The courts aren't braindead. That is constructively a ban on guns and a violation of the 2A.

Public opposition to handguns ban at record high 74%

27. How many new prisons are you prepared to build for inner city youth?

Step 9 is going to demand you build a lot more...and not just for inner city youth though since that is where most of the gun violence occurs, you likely will be filling them up and need more.
DUmmies want Gulags.  :mental:

How about this?  If you commit any crime involving any gun, even stealing the gun, it's a mandatory federal felony and 20 years in the federal pen?

That would be turn out to be considered racist after a shitload more blacks were sentenced to prison.

If they started with #9, they could do away with the other 8.

The whacko fringe of the Democrats will come out of the woodwork on this issue... This issue has driven a wedge in the Democratic party forever, and hopefully this continues.  While I question how anyone can logically claim to be a "Pro Gun Democrat"... there's a lot of them out there, and I'd prefer Hitlery and Bernie keep screaming about the need for new gun control, as it will just drive the wedge deeper.

40. Maybe if a license was required for possession...

other trainers would find it profitable and a bunch of companies would spring up. Obviously, some would be better than others.
snip...

Don't look now, but a DUmmie is supporting a free market...  :yahoo:

It's already being done.  It's called a CCW permit...  :thatsright:

A CCW only deals w/ carrying a concealed weapon.  DUmmies want a license to keep a gun in the home... (ie.. Registration)

Weekend at Bernies is from a state where there has been Constitutional carry for quite some time.  How do they reconcile that?   :yawn:

Step 1: Get off the recreational chemicals.

Step 2: Reintroduce yourself to reality (from which you've been a stranger for most of your life!).

Illinois has basically had that law for decades by requiring firearm owners to have a FOID card. It hasn't done much to stop the thugs in Chicago and E. St. Louis from killing each other.

These types of violence are horrible and I, like most everyone else hates to see them, but to come to the point of offering up some of this kneejerk BULLSHIT because .00000003% of our population (if I did the math correctly) was shot, is just stupid.

99.999999% of firearms owners did not break the law, and I'll be damned if I'm for penalizing them for the .000001% who did.

Illinois's FOID card is the best example yet that gun owner ID's, registration, etc.. does absolutely nothing to combat gun crime.... as criminals have zero interest in registering their arms, or obtaining them legally.

Exactly. The only way to combat gun crimes is to make the penalties so harsh that they aren't worth it. 

Mass murders on the other hand, can not be stopped by banning and confiscating guns.  There are other more gruesome ways of accomplishing the same result.

Take gun owners money, en masse, nationwide, large scale, and then use it against them?

I'm sure nobody would see that as a declaration of war. ::)
