    My thoughts.

    If you have mental health issues, you go on the NCIS list and fail a background. There needs to be a procedure to restore your rights in place.

    If you use a weapon in the commission of a crime, there is a mandatory minimum sentence imposed. Oh wait, we have that, but rarely utilized. Nor do we want to pay the freight on jails to house the offenders.

    If you are a domestic abuser, you lose your firearm ownership rights and are charged with a serious firearms violation if caught with a firearm. Oh wait, we have that law, but rarely utilized or enforced.

    States need to enact waiting periods. Oh wait, we have that.

    What about a new AWB or hi cap mag ban? Well, many states have done that with little effect on the problem.

    Wait, if you are addicted to drugs, lets make you a prohibited persons. What if we put a check box on the 4473 to ask if you are an addict, including MJ, which bans the sale to you. Oh wait, we've done that. Addicts simply ignore.

    What if we say you can't buy a gun for a prohibited person. Oh wait, we've done that.

    What if we make a law that says you can't shoot someone with a firearm? Have we done that yet?

    What if we make a law that says you can't murder someone with a firearm.......

    Paraphrased: Cops need to stop sucking at their jobs and we need to nationalize background checks and improve waiting periods. Glad we agree!

    Police chief trafficked over 200 fully automatic weapons, which he used his police exemption to obtain. Sentenced to probation and a fine.

    There’s gun/cop/justice problems in this country.

    otoh, i can only find one defensive shooting
    It's extremely rare for a civilian to shoot someone in self defense.

    Gun fags like to claim they used their gun in self defense all the time but that just means they supposedly waved it around, if that.

    I decided to switch to competition shooting with 45 ACP. To 9mm. - it’s just so much cheaper. I own multiple guns all purchased with a background check. Tomorrow I am going to go pay for an pickup my new compition pistol. I will have to fill out the background check. It will be instant. I’m not on drugs. I don’t have any felony convictions. I’m not on phyco drugs. So even though there are many who don’t like me or my world view. Why would you want to stop me from getting the new gun? I’m sure some new flags went up. I just took delivery in 750 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Just need the gun run it through

    Still contemplating buying a 45acp. PCC. I don’t need it. But it’s so cool

    Everyone I know has a PCC. Just because

    On Thursday, June 2, Houston Chronicle health reporter Julian Gill attempted to cover the funeral proceedings in Uvalde when he was met with resistance from a group of bikers, according to a San Antonio Express News report.

    Dozens of bikers from at least three clubs — Guardians of the Children, Thin Blue Line LEMC, and Marines MC — were assisting the police and firefighters in creating a boundary to prevent reporters from getting on the property.

    The blockade involved police officers and firefighters from Uvalde, Allen, Pearland, Conroe, and Lubbock. They made a perimeter around Rushing-Estes Knowles Mortuary, Sacred Heart Memorial Church, and the Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery and threatened to arrest reporters if they stepped near the cemetery grounds, the report says.
    Meanwhile in CO, rep Ken Buck has this to say.
    “In rural Colorado, an AR-15 is a gun of choice for killing raccoons before they get to our chickens,” Buck added. “It is the gun of choice for killing a fox, it is a gun that you control predators on your ranch, on your farm, on your property.”
    Obviously Rep. Buck has no idea of the Feral Hog problems facing this nation.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    How many of the 25 million ARs are owned by ranchers and chicken farmers?
    And why are they such shitty shots that they need a 30 round magazine?

    Seriously man, I wish you the best, but you had a uniquely unforgettable moment here with regards to a handgun, depression & drinking...having seen that, I sure as hell wouldn't sell you a gun. People here were legitimately scared for you, including me

    Not a phych exam. But when under physiatrist care and prescribed an antidepressant you’re flagged on an fll background check as not currently eligible to purchase a firearm. Going after someone’s exiting arsenal gets a bit tricky. But we should figure out a fair way to get that done

    I learned something then. That’s all I have to say. Not going to try and convince you how safe and stable I am. Even when not showing the best version of me. FYI. I really am that guy who walks into the store with a gun on my hip. No one is afraid. Unless you were up to no good

    You just never know. The waco who shot up LasVegas. Lived and hung out right here where I live. We sat in the same local bars and casinos. Federal agents everywhere. No one gave him a second look. But if someone had just looked a little bit. The man always seems to be looking at the wrong people

    why do you do that?

    How do you know no one is afraid of you?

    Nothing says “stable and approachable” like a gun on the hip at the Piggly Wiggly so why wouldn’t someone walk up to that complete stranger and give him a talking-to?

    seriously. I'd rather ban alcoholics and people who routinely drink to excess than the prozac crowd. irrational gun nuts avoiding mental treatment to keep their weapons - what could go wrong?

    Hopefully someone gives you a second look.

    Or the meds you clearly need.

    I do it because it’s my right and common place until not so long ago. So I did it because I can. Also some militant shit about having to get a license to conceal. You know. Need license to carry under my shirt? Fuck you I’ll just hang it off my belt and wait for Nevada to pass right to carry. That’s how I feel and I am not alone. You would be surprised how many positive conversations I have with people standing in the checkout line. And I have to tell them no I can’t take it out of the holster and show it to you it’s loaded and that would be rude. And I asked why don’t you do it? They are afraid. And the woman behind him taped her purse and and kinda winked at me. It’s the world we live in

    Sad to use this thread. But here it is. These are bad times. We are not safe. Buy a gun learn how to use. Practice often. Carry it with you everywhere you go. Trust your neighbors. Pretty much every one is decent. Safety in numbers when armed. Even when you don’t like your neighbors they won’t hurt you. But they will back you up. We’re Americans it’s how we roll

    Here's the narrative. Local disheveled man with years long substance abuse problem, reveals paranoid thoughts coupled with a persecution complex. Receives abnormal gratification by showcasing his 'power' thru displaying his arms in otherwise non-threatening public settings. Cold read analysis concludes that fire arms offer a sense of control which is fills the void in an otherwise rudderless life. Given constant alcohol relapses, he is likely wielding deadly weapons while intoxicated.

    Your posting history here is enough to have you put on a no gun ownership list.
