"Regulate" does NOT mean "take them away"


 
Just sayin'

And the slippery slope argument is always one for the desperate

Okay you damn meth head, how about we "regulate" abortion?

6. Psych Evals every year to keep your guns sounds good

And a generous buy-back program for those who don't pass the psych eval

11. Hire government Psychiatrists

Specifically for the job...pay them with the fees collected in registration

And yes, I think they should be taxed at least 200%

The gunfans always say it's a mental health problem - so why not do the obvious thing and keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill?

Anything less (or more) just becomes a feel good bill

If it's too expensive, then don't buiy one

There is no time that one ever NEEDS a gun

30. Look, we can do this a lot of ways without Psychiatrists

Have them design the test, train ATF workers, etc...

You are nitpicking on details - all just to make sure psychopaths can once again kill indiscriminately.

I don't know why you gunfans want that, but it makes me think most gun owners REALLY ARE the anti-social psychos we make them out to be...

Dude, you wouldn't know how to think if your life depended on it.

33. I don't know if that's possible

Australia did it - if we considered it, we would have to study how they did it

But whatever we do, it starts with an empirical study

You can study all you want, there is a thing called the Constitution that doesn't allow it.

34. An alternative to guns for self defense

http://www.extremely-sharp.com/throwing-knives/

Throwing Knives

"Knife throwing is an art that takes much practice but can be a huge amount of fun. Throwing knives are almost always one-piece rather than the traditional knives that have a handle manufactured separately from the blade and attached later. Many throwing knives are double-edged and can be used as fighting knives, for self defense, if necessary."

----------------------------------------------------------

Still deadly and valid for personal defense, but you are not endangering anyone more than 15 to 20 feet away.

Know what Tav?

When the government you wish for does what it always does and comes to haul leeches and miscreants like you off to places you don`t care to dream about you will be the first begging for someone with a gun to stop them.

There is a reason leftists need an unarmed populace.

Yes it DOES mean that. Regulation can be used as a means to deny gun ownership as so evidenced in the quotes from the very thread.

Obama intends to use regulation to make it near impossible to own a gun.

The term "regulate", in the 1700's referred to controlled, accurate fire to a point of aim.
The term persisted into the 1940's where it was superseded by "harmonized". (fighter aircraft)
Sorry, I can't give a link. Just things I've learned over many years.

Yep.....

and every statistical category of violent crime went,  wait for it pill popper,.....


....up.  

The opposite of down, as in downers.  The typical result of government meddling.  Increased crime, as in increased dosage of LSD.  Go ahead and take a few hits and we'll discuss the gun bans in Chicago, Detroit and New York.  We'll discuss black on black predatory crime enabled and supported by the Church of Liberal Progressive Fundamentalism and their weekly sermon of plantation vote buying.  We'll discuss how every single policy cooked up by the elitist ivy pinheads fails. every. f*cking. time.

When you have returned from your coma, we'll discuss what a utter waste of flesh you are.  Yes, there will be a quiz and no, an empirical study is not going to be done.  Do you and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers know why?  Empirical data is that which is derived from observation.  Every observation not done on mescaline, has proven legal gun ownership reduces crime.  Sometimes, to near zero.

 :stoner:

No, I don't want a hit.
