America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

[LoathedVermin72]

I just want the grenade launcher from Predator. Ban the rest.

If youre going to poach weaponry from Predator you have to go with active camo in my opinion.

I'll probably take the minigun in case I need to mow the lawn.

This was such a good post

From what my gun nut friends tell me, all guns, including handguns, are super easy to buy in Arizona.

The "gun show loophole" is used extensively here and gun dealers will happily make gun sales private and sell them "off-licence". Most gun dealers here have "agents" who act as private sellers. I believe Tucson (Give 'em back to Mexico!) is the only city in AZ that has passed specific "private seller" and gun show laws that requires being linked into universal background checks.

Also, as someone who has driven back and forth to Cali 60+ times in the last 15 years, I can say the chances of you having your car searched for guns is zero. Although to be fair, I'm white.

For those of you (especially those outside the US) who wonder why it's so tough for America to ban the gun, I thought this look t the NRA's power would help a bit.

all of you either rely too much on the gov't or think that guns could somehow take out a tank, or a jet.

here's the deal...

say the US bans "the gun"

that would require a gov't agency, with certain authority over who has guns. not only would this agency take all the guns, but it would be the only ones with the power to have guns.

so we would end up with a gov't that can not only do whatever the fuck it wants, you'd be giving up your rights to it. Remember there is a gun for every man, woman and child in the US....

when it comes to school and workplace shootings...ask yourself-who benefits from it?

Dude, if the government really wants to do whatever the fuck it wants to you, it already has the overwhelming power to do so, no matter how big an assload of guns you can amass.

On the nose

Isis wants an insane, medieval race war – and we’ve decided to give them one

What ISIS wants is irrelevant. They are a psychopathic death cult. Giving them what they want might be the solution. If death is what they want, give it to them if it will mean the end of them.

Agreed. This "Bombing them is exactly what they want!" argument is fucking stupid.

[dimejinky99]

Carpet bombing towns and rural villages in the vain hope that some IS troops are there isn't fucking stupid?

[Norah]

So you're for precise drone strikes then?

"I NEED A GUN IN CASE THE GOVERNMENT GETS TOO POWERFUL!"

"WHOA COOL, THE POLICE HAVE A TANK!"

It's really not though. We have been bombing, and its not working, and its not going to work. This is not 1943.

If a school shooter wants to commit suicide by cop, that doesn't mean the cops shouldn't oblige him.

I'm not saying bombing is the answer, just that ISIS "wanting it" is besides the point.

[stip]

It is the point. People saying ISIS wants this aren't talking about denying them a toy because they've been bad. Bombing is not likely to be effective (if it was we would have done it a long time ago) and is likely to legitimate the regime and help them recruit and inspire people like the San Bernadino terrorists

Kudos to the NYT.

"The New York Times is running an editorial on its front page on Saturday, the first time the paper has done so since 1920, calling for greater regulation on guns in the aftermath of a spate of mass shootings."
