The intent was noble but enforcement difficult.<BR/><BR/>First, private tranactions weren't covered (as if they could be). Second, FBI conviction information is so inaccurate and incomplete that sometimes even convicted murderers don't have those convictions on their rap sheets. If some clerk didn't send a disposition report to the FBI (or comparable state agaency), then there's no conviction entered on the rap sheet.<BR/><BR/>I've seen this hundreds, if not thousands, of times.<BR/><BR/>Hard to propose new legislation when what we have now doesn't work.RAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928990342754680095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-87934449659652169392008-01-31T21:46:00.000-06:002008-01-31T21:46:00.000-06:00Dad, congratulations on twisting my words.

But they might be able to prevent a goblin or two from getting their grubby little goblin grips on a gun.<BR/><BR/>Trigger locks would save a handful of lives if Goblins aren't allowed to steal them from people and use them in a crime (this is dependent on competent engineers making a trigger lock that would render the trigger useless if broken off). They would also prevent some of the gun accidents. It is like a seat belt law. Yeah yeah I know I am trying to be a nanny. But you can't deny that seat belt laws are a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-24009805471198629082008-01-31T17:07:00.000-06:002008-01-31T17:07:00.000-06:00"given that the 2A specifically references 'militi..."given that the 2A specifically references 'militia,' which DOES use "weapons specifically designed to efficiently kill people," it's hard to understand your interpretation.<BR/><BR/>And both the 2nd and 5th Circuits agree with me (heh.)"<BR/><BR/>We will see if SCOTUS agrees with me when they discuss it on March 18, 2008 (District of Columbia, et al., Petitioners <BR/>v. <BR/>Dick Anthony Heller)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-72520484593491783162008-01-31T17:05:00.000-06:002008-01-31T17:05:00.000-06:00Actually, there is NO "ban" on full-auto weapons. ...Actually, there is NO "ban" on full-auto weapons.

With 100 million guns in the grips of citizens we can never start taking them away without endangering safety.<BR/><BR/>That does not mean that restrictions shouldn't have been in place. You need a special permit to buy a machine gun and you can't buy a bazooka. A sane government would have put severe restrictions on the manufacture and sale of hand guns generations ago.<BR/><BR/>We definitely have a right to own guns, but my reading of the constitution does not prevent restriction on ownership of weapons specifically designed to efficiently kill people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-82697296359761604252008-01-31T13:34:00.000-06:002008-01-31T13:34:00.000-06:00No problem-o, OS.First, you guys get all the illeg...No problem-o, OS.<BR/><BR/>First, you guys get all the illegals out.<BR/><BR/>THEN we'll talk about confiscating all the guns.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-5347861284160722112008-01-31T13:26:00.000-06:002008-01-31T13:26:00.000-06:00Constitution be damned, eh?
