Is this that thing they call irony

Is this that thing they call irony

i can call it a few other things!!!

[gixxerboy1]

my god he isnt trying to take away everyone;s guns. I have no problem with a debate but lets be honest.
He is taking away everyone's guns like you want to be able to carry grenades and rbg's legally.

[bcaasdirty]

^^its worse on the state level (New York). If Cuomo gets his way the only 'legal' guns left will be muzzle loaders and single shots.

again, yes he is putting forward strict laws but lets not exaggerate. and OMG if it was true. What would happen, you wouldnt be able to work, feed your family, You would loose your house and robbers and rapist would over run your town

i was more or less talking about how he needs armed guards for life and changing the laws of previous presidents. what was wrong with the law before?

the point i was trying to make was he can protect his family with armed guards, why can't i?

Very solid point IMO.

presidents always could, just went back to the old law that was for life, now it was for 10 years. And you or I arent a target like an ex president. And i dont think his guards will be carrying ar-15's with 30 bullets in a clip

[JP-MAN]

anyone can protect their family with armed guards, will be expensive but anyone in the public can hire armed guards....

but i cannot take taxpayers money to do so

i agree we are not targets like the president

true, but i bet they will be yielding semi-auto weapons

Every president has had their secret service men for life. Reread the story Bush would be the first President affected by the NEW LAW/OLD LAW however you want to call it. Put it this way Jimmy Carter still has his. Sounds like ANOTHER person over reacting to anything Obama does. Its ok you only have 4 more years and then you can put the next moron in office.

[likelifting]

He'd take away our guns if he could, imo. In a NY second.

[cherrydrpepper]

Thatd be wierd to be SS. You probably know the names and locations of every skank hoe your prez has banged. Hell some of them may even have bastard children.

It was poor timing on the president IMO with all the gun talk

Jimmy Carter, hahahahaha

Unfortunately, I wish I was exaggerating with what is being proposed in my backwards state. Even pump action shotguns would be deemed illegal. I don't think (knocking on wood/keeping my fingers crosses) all that is being proposed will pass though. But crazier things have happened I guess.

Part of the proposed "new" gun laws would be to turn all non-legal firearms over to LE by 2015 with no compensation (or have gun welded shut), or automatically become a class B felon

[kelkel]

The 2nd amandment isn't going anywhere. The government may place restrictions on certain types of weapons but they cannot just "take" all your weapons. Part of the meaning of the amendment by our founding fathers is to give the people the ability to protect themselves from an overzealous government if the need arises.

[tdoe11]

Theyare trying to ban anything that can hold a clip. Very scary. They are NOT only going after the assault rifles they are constantly talking about. This means potentially banning everything with the acception of bolt action rifles and revolvers. With the current owners there will be grandfathering but you will not be able to pass your guns along as family airlooms. Everyone should do their homework, this is a big deal guys. It is our second amendment. All the people attempting the ban are protected daily by armed men. Why should we not be able I protect ourselves

where has anyone said that?


not to mention the government admits they cant round up the illegal immigrants. You really think they are going to come and round up your guns? Please use some common sense. Instead of the fear mongering BS

This is what they are proposing. Nothing like you are claiming

New York's top prosecutors are proposing new state laws they say will help curb gun crimes across the state.
In letters to the governor and legislative leaders, the District Attorneys Association advocates amending mental health laws, imposing stiffer penalties for gun crimes, banning all high-capacity magazines and restricting large quantity sales of firearms and ammunition.
The association, which includes all of the 62 counties' chief prosecutors, says criminal activity becomes exponentially more volatile when guns are present.

The group backs imposing a mandatory consecutive five-year sentence when a person commits a violent felony or drug crime while possessing a gun, require periodic renewals of handgun permits in every county and expressly authorize courts to remove guns and revoke licenses of people found mentally incapacitated.

[--->>405<<---]

personally i think this gun thing is a bunch of bullshit! im tired of hearing about it and tired of people arguing about it. personally i dont think they should be able to take away our guns but they are the freaking government and they can do whatever they want. to think they cant eventually make guns illegal is naive IMO. they can chip away and chip away.

[kelkel]

banning all high-capacity magazines Need that one defined more...


criminal activity becomes exponentially more volatile when guns are present. Obviously a brain surgeon wrote that part.

I agree with the rest....

[gixxerboy1]

above....

the governor in an interview said clips over 9. (responding to the first bold)

dont know how to respond to the second part

i dont think they should ban guns, but there should be some type of limits, back ground checks, reasonable stuff. But i guess whats reasonable to one isnt to another

[likelifting]

[--->>405<<---]

the whole thing is ridiculous. common sense should tell anyone not making clips that carry more than 9 rounds isnt gonna do any good. so what.. they shoot 9 people, or put 9 rounds in 4 people and pop the clip out and put another one in.. cmon man.. u cant stop people from killing people.

but i suppose people think well we can make it harder for em? so lets chip away at the freedom of everyone else so nutjob x can only kill 13 people instead of 23.. yeh thats a great idea!

whats gonna happen 5 yrs from now when all these impotent "feel good cuz we did something" laws are in place and some a-hole kills 10 people with a 9mm that holds 8 rounds? we gonna decrease the capacity to 6 rounds then?

its a dang B.S. idea..

Unfortunately that maybe sooner than later.

I agree with that too and am fine with Biden and the task force coming up with new recommendations (except they're currently investigating the role video games have in violent crime??).

But passing an unconstitutional executive order that wouldn't have to go through congress is horse shlt. Maybe it won't happen and is just more fear mongering but I can understand why gun advocates would be pissed right the fvck off about it.

And I agree with 405 I'm sooo sick of hearing about it. The gd media sensationalizes everything and reports half truths and exaggerations just to incite both sides.

looks like we'll be gettin hella deals on firearms in the surrounding states if it passes

if your 1 of those 10 people that survive i would think so.
I agree you arent going to stop anything, but yes make it harder. Really are your freedoms infringed that much because your gun could only hold 9 bullets?
We have free speech too, but there are limits set to that. And that hasnt turned into a slippery slop

[jasc]

to limit clips to 9 rounds would be assinine (sp?).. hell a standard 9mm glock holds 15

[gixxerboy1]

to limit clips to 9 rounds would be assinine (sp?).. hell a standard 9mm glock holds 15

honestly didnt know that.
but asking you as a gun person was a realistic number you feel like you would need in 1 clip?

Have you seen the saiga 12 with the 30 round drum? There's some YouTube vids on it.....amazing the damage that thing can do in less than 10 seconds.

i have to walk down the street just like everyone else. if its my time to die its my time to die..

as for the bold i think that logic is dangerous.. how bout this.. is my safety increased that much more cuz nutjob x can only carry a gun "Legally" that holds 9 bullets?? how bout the fact that the lunatic is hell bent on wreaking havoc and gets an ar 15 on the black market? i dont suppose the fact that hes using an illegal firearm is gonna be much of a deterrent.

but to answer ur question YES my freedoms are infringed that much cuz my gun can only hold 9 rounds when right now i can have one that holds 30.. meanwhile sicko number 1537 is naked in his abandoned schoolbus makeshift house in montana polishing his bullets and planning the next mass killing.. probably laughing at all the bleeding heart liberal morons who actually believe limiting our access to guns is gonna do some good!

[Zodiac82]

im neither here nor there but definitely agree with Gixx on compacity of a gun....ppl who are law abiding citizens shouldnt have a problem with a gun that holds 9,8, or 5 rounds....ur not lookin to harm others then it shouldnt matter

[jasc]

honestly didnt know that.
but asking you as a gun person was a realistic number you feel like you would need in 1 clip?

15 would be plenty imo. It's a good number for the range and more than enough for home protection. I personally see no need for 30+ round clips. Even when using an AR at the range I usually only load about 10 rounds anyway.

[gixxerboy1]

u shouldnt pass laws based on hypotheticals.. i have to walk down the street just like everyone else. if its my time to die its my time to die..

arent those all hypotheticals

and if your that worried stay out of Montana

[--->>405<<---]

LOL yeh thats why i deleted the hypothetical part.. i suppose i let emotion get in the way of my logic. i think most laws are passed based on hypotheticals.. (duh) LOL..

the reason i have a problem with it isnt cuz i think i need a gun that holds 50 bullets, its because i think the logic behind passing the restrictions is flawed and it is giving the government a bigger foot in the door to limit our freedoms and its not gonna do any freaking good!
