Or they could make pipe bombs and do it even faster than a gun...again its the killer that needs attention.
The US gov't already followed the train of thought in that article Paul. Once you could not buy semi automatic weapons with more than 5 rnds internal capacity (except handguns). It was incredibly unpopular because a lot of historic arms had to be altered and even some very small caliber weapons were altered.
Paul, when I was 19 I tried buying ammo for my .22LR Ruger 10/22 to go small game hunting. I did this every weekend all summer but suddenly I could not buy .22LR because it is used in pistols..HOWEVER, I could buy assault rifle ammo.. Likewise I could NOT buy a handgun regardless of caliber but COULD buy very lethal assault rifles..Now that I am over 21 I can do either. But isn't that just stupid?! The US gov't is completely incompetent at writing logical regs.
Not MORE gun control! Like taxes, FAA Regs, and healthcare regs, MORE is not better!!! They need to be 1) better enforced and 2) better written.
Throw away all the current gun control and start from scratch with modern high caliber semi-automatic high capacity assault rifles with the most regulation. It would be escalating legislation which would not harm small caliber plinkers (like my 10/22), hunting weapons, and historic guns (like M1 Garands). Again, MODERN assault rifles (like M4s, Sig556, AK-47, etc) are stupidly dangerous and should be regulated. Personally I say regulate WHO owns them and under what conditions rather than force alterations to the guns (like welding or cutting stuff on them). Mandatory physical alterations have destroyed countless historic pieces that ended up so badly altered they could not even end up in a museum.
This is not rocket science, it's just anti-gun people always scream "BAN!!!!" and pro-gun legislators are heavily against a ban. An outright Ban IS STUPID PERIOD. There is no logic behind an out-right ban, limitations and regulation sure, but bans NO.
A good way to piss off the gun community and guarantee strong opposition to any changes is to mention bans or physical alterations to guns. That WILL make all of us speak very loudly against any reform. But these 2 items are what is suggested the most. EVERY shooter and gun owner always can agree with more safety. If I have to get a psyc exam and background check to own an AR, I will gladly do it because THAT MAKES SENSE!!!! But I do not want the opportunity to own one taken away from me because of some anti-gun whiner in California. If that happens, then I want all their alcohol banned and taken away.
),and if they actualy DON'T have special needs it'd be even easier for them to get a gun.
