Government cannot require any activity related to ALL firearm transfers, without being able to follow through and monitor it after it was mandated...to monitor any activity, such as a background check, the government has to know that a transfer actually took place...in order to do that...
By your logic ordinary citizens should NOT be allowed to carry either, since they can get "beat down by punks ". Just rely on the police & "security guards" to get there. But its been proven, when ordinary good people are allowed to carry, crime GOES DOWN. The "beat down" scenario that you...
It seems that some conservatives may be leaning towards universal background checks, which we know can only be enforced by registering all firearms in the USA. The usual analogy is "cars are registered, so why not guns?"
Here are some reasons why this is a false analogy:
1. A car is a public...
I believe they do have over 1.5 million members, and are growing. IMHO, GOA is the purest supporter of 2A.
NRA has had a checkered past about 30 or so years ago, but I have faith in the current leadership, they stood firm after Sandy Hook. And they have been continually pushing right-to-carry...
Folks, just remember Wayne La Pierre stood firm after Sandy Hook.
Enforcing NICs is not a bad thing. If it is done with due process.
I love the GOA and my next best thing is the NRA.
They are the only 2 orgs that understand that universal background checks are an excuse for gun registration...
Thanks, we need to call or email once a week, not just WH but specially our senators and congressmen. Let them know they will feel political repercussions in the primary season if they give in to any anti RKBA laws.
Yes, we need to PUSH our legislators to actually become pro-active in taking care of this problem:
1. Introduce legislation that makes it illegal to make a school a "gun-gree" zone.
2. Make it harder to prescribe psychotropic drugs to children that cause homicidal ideation.
You are right, the...
It's best not to over-analyze. People did that with concealed carry as well...saying it will become the wild west, etc etc. Yet, CC is there in all states to some degree, and people carry daily in crowded places, prevent over 1.5 million crimes a year, and there is no panicked or hysterical...
Email is great. But calling on the phone seems to work the best.
During the sandy hook aftermath, many of us called once a week at least to our rep and senators in the US congress. Calling the WH was a waste of time in those days.
Now, I am emailing once a week, and calling once a week...
The problem can be easily solved with 2 things:
1. Remove the artificial designation of schools as gun-free zones, this only prevents good people who can prevent a mass shooting from being there.
2. Reduce the prescription of psychotropic drugs to children, because they cause homicidal...
The problem is that now the mass shooting seems to have reached a point where the anti RKBA are smelling blood and think they can really start eating away at 2A.
I have had many independent people tell me that it's time for us 2Aers to do something, or the system will "over-correct" and people...
It's time to go on offense to take care of this problem.
Banning ARs or restricting them will not do it, since the next nut job will use a pump shotgun, or a semi auto shotgun.
What is needed is real legislation, while we have the legislature and the white house.
We need to start calling our...
Kimmel is an elitist, opportunist, spoilt metro sexual slob.
They will never learn. Taking people's guns away is a vote loser.
Time to start calling our congressmen and senators again, as well as the White house comment line.
The only 2 things that will prevent mas shootings are the...
WE can call the White House comment line and leave a comment. I did it today. Please consider doing it.
I got this message below from the GOA.
It’s only been a week since the heartbreaking school shooting in Florida, but anti-gun activists and politicians have already begun yet another...
