@critialcloudkicker Happy birthday. :)

@critialcloudkicker Firearms have been illegally manufactured with crude tools for years in Pakistan's Khyber Pass region. The unfortunate truth of the matter is that criminals are always going to find a way to get arms.

@critialcloudkicker The Swiss are conscripted into mandatory military service, and I believe they are regularly required to requalify in marksmanship tests. Granted, the Swiss don't have a belligerent foreign policy as the US does (I am not against conscription in principle). It would be nice to see a less belligerent "Swiss" approach over here. Even without conscription, it would be nice to see people enroll in gun training, safety, etc.

Uh-oh. The truck have started to move!

@l1ghtsword Same here.
-
@critialcloudkicker Goodnight. :)

@critialcloudkicker That's odd. Excessive litigation isn't always required to get such paranoia to spread.
-
@critialcloudkicker The mentally defective, felons, etc. are already prohibited from owning firearms per US federal law. While I don't believe that domestic abusers, violent felons, etc. can be trusted with firearms, they can still find illegal ways to acquire them if they are determined enough. It is illegal to knowingly lie on a Form 4473 (ATF NICS background check). However, those who do as such are rarely prosecuted. That needs to change. Additionally, I don't think it would hurt for us to become a bit more "Swiss" and have mandatory firearm training. Income inequality and a lack of access to quality healthcare (including the mental type) are serious issues as well.
-
@critialcloudkicker Regardless of the reasons why violent crime in the US has been dropping, the fact is that guns don't cause such crime; Feinstein, Obama, et. al. have no logical case for a gun ban (aside from the viewpoint of an oligarchy not wanting those they exploit to have guns). If people want to restrict my access to arms, they need to bring some evidence to the table. I don't trust a capitalist oligarchy to decide who gets to have guns and who doesn't get to have them.
-
@critialcloudkicker Hm. No lawsuits, but still morbid paranoia and lots of public screaming and such.
-
@nerthos If civilization collapses, I probably have bigger problems than a lack of ammunition infrastructure and such. Not to mention that infrastructure is also required for batteries, capacitors, transformers, etc.
-
@critialcloudkicker I personally prefer (and practice) concealed carry. If I had to use a firearm in self-defense, I would prefer the assailant not to know about me carrying it until it is already pointed at him. The increased gun sales thing is due to the NRA: they intentionally spread panic about a gun ban that isn't likely to happen in order to get more money for themselves (more dues paying members) and the manufacturers on whose behalf they lobby (more demand = higher prices). Interestingly, US crime rates have been dropping in spite of more people carrying guns.
