Yes, more laws please...that will definitely fix the problem. Because criminals and crazy people will take pause knowing those laws are on paper...

If the war on guns goes like the war on drugs we are all going to need bigger gun safes. I was once worried about the lefts gun confiscation scheme, but no longer. Canada gave up on just trying to register guns in a computer system and Canadians are a lot more inclined to respect laws they consider silly. And they would need to go search every house, in the country, because there is no computer records of who has what in the US. It would be physically impossible to go door to door and collect every gun. If you consider owners would meekly turn over their guns you are kidding yourself in several million cases. Maybe tens of millions of cases. Just never going to happen. Going door to door would take years if not decades and who is to say if those guns would remain in place very long. So rechecking would be needed in millions of houses which would extend it even longer. The entire military and law enforcement combined are not going to be large enough to do it.

As long as we have a Supreme Court filled with justices who interpret the Constitution based on what was intended and not what they think they ought to have done back then, based on the liberal agenda of today we should be OK. But what are they going to do if they ban guns and 25 million gun owner flat out refuse to comply? I learned years ago in the service to never give an order which is impossible to carry out. I do not think passing a law, which would be impossible to enforce, is going to work out well for them. Prohibition failed and they passed a Constitutional Amendment to try it and it still failed miserably. Just passing a law is not going to work at all. 300 million guns out there, estimated 10 million AR15 type guns. That genie is never going to be put back into the bottle.

I love the attempt to ban large capacity clips, like that would make a real difference. Fully loaded, large capacity clips, are more prone to feeding issues than multiple lower capacity clips. Plus the time difference between shooting 30 rounds out of one clip or 30 rounds out of three clips is almost zero. But it sounds good to people who do not know. It is a straw-man argument created to make them feel like they are accomplishing something. End of rant.

If the left is challenged with going door to door, there certainly might be a willingness on a selective basis for messaging. If they are willing to work at it for decades, haven't they already started. Isn't anyone who would've been one day underage, a criminal if they are in possession, but don't have a background check. I suppose the answer is no based on zip code, gang affiliation, and immigration status.

Isn't there a distinct effort to politicize the military and law enforcement. Aren't members who have expressed past leanings towards the right being purged. Isn't there plenty of registration available to document constitutionally taxing the ten plus round magazines that were sold with them. Aren't we much more likely to see letters in the mail and flags on background checks, rather than knocks on the door. All they need is an IT department?

Direct confiscation is not going to work. It will be continued sniping around the edges. It is a lot like their attempts to restrict free speech. They are restricting it by restricting “hate speech” first and they and only they get to define what is hate speech.

The fake gun control arguments has always we are restricting your ability to buy but not own. Background checks to use a clearly expressed right in the Constitution. You don’t have to pass a background check to assemble, to have freedom of the press or free speech that they don’t claim is hate speech. It is this one right they hate so much. Part ignorance, part hating guns for what a few do with them to break the law, part sheep being told what to hate. And no gun law is going to stop those who want to abuse them for criminal purposes. Hammers, bats and knives are just as good at deadly. A lot of this is the Hollywood education too many have. Too many movies show how easy it is to hit a small target while riding a horse over rough ground. It is damn near impossible in real life but they make it seem like everyone can. It is fake news. Same with the computer games. All fake.

There are 300 million plus guns, 10-15 million AR15 type guns. They are going to be guns in this country forever.

Lefty States like New York have done a marvelous job of reducing the credibility of our political voice, the National Rifle Association. That political voice and our 2nd Amendment are the difference between us and the rest of the world. It seems clear that some of our entrenched NRA leaders bear much of the blame for the present situation, but as gun owners we must all stick together in support of our last best Second Amendment political voice. Join, for life...Geo

I agree with the point of your post though no disputing that.
Steve

I realize that there is fluctuations in the timeline for the CBI background checks depending on the volume being processed. This is why I worded it as "at times up to two weeks" The system has cleared out and in the case of this shooter, it's looking like he recently acquired this weapon. It is still unclear whether he got the gun through the legal process or not. I guess we'll find this out as time goes on.

To answer some other questions; It's very easy to lie on a background check form as far as mental illness goes. We have medical privacy laws "HIPPA" that protects us from the need to share our personal medical history & prevents doctors from disclosing it as well. So if this shooter had seen a doctor for mental issues "Which is doubtful" his records of it wouldn't have been in the BATF's data base. Another oddity of background checks is the question about drug use including marijuana. Grass is legal in Colorado with pot shops everywhere these days, so it's fairly easy to presume that there's a bunch of gun buyers in Colorado lying on that question as well. The only way you would fail the background check system is if you were convicted of a drug crime and it was in the BATF's system.

+1. Well thought out and reasoned John. This is the reality that the Gov faces, even if just for registration.

And as I pointed out in another thread, before it was deleted, Sen. Manchin, thankfully, is already in opposition.

One of many good reasons here in MI was the fact that possessing a CPL (yes, I do indeed) meant that upon showing that at a gun show or Cabela's gun counter, that would waive the 4473 and the BS 'Stevie Nicks" checky-checky-- But last year, our dipstick lady Guv changed that-and delays in clearance proceedures are common-what a fubar.

Here's why I disagree with what KYJon said here... millions of gun owners around the world also thought it could never happen to them. Some resisted, but most quickly give in to authority. Just look at the number of people right here who are too meek to confront the supporters of anti-gun Democrats like nca225:

Even if you resisted, and decided to not comply, do you really wish to live in a country where you have to hide your guns because your government decides you no longer have that Constitutional Right??? KYJon is wrong about the Canadians giving up their Long Gun Registry. Quebec never complied with the law to get rid of it, so all of those records of long guns and their owners remain in the hands of an anti-gun Liberal Left Government.

nca225 is now pretending to be happy that Sen. Joe Manchin might vote against Biden's new anti-gun laws. nca225 is also pretending to agree with what KYJon said, including the fact that we now have a pro-2nd Amendment majority on the Supreme Court. But please don't forget that nca225 has consistently supported Democrat anti-gunners like Obama and Biden, and denigrated Trump and all of the pro-gun Conservative Supreme Court nominees. This is why I often advise not paying attention to what people say, but rather what they actually do. On this forum, it often takes some effort to see the truth. There are people here with an agenda to convince you all that the Democrats are not a threat to your gun ownership rights.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
