They act like the police murder innocent people and get away with it but then say only the police should have guns. That doesn't really make a lot of sense. I think we should arm the proletariat!

"We don't want a COMPLETE gun ban, just everything except single shot shotguns and six shot revolvers."

Also, I've seen the vast majority of people on CE who support these bans say that only police should have "assault weapons" or high cap pistols. Which, like OP said, makes no fucking sense when these same people are supposedly in fear of the police.

The problem is it's one of the loudest here, and no one that carries it has the capacity to actually try and debate their position in good faith.

No, i think we shouldn't disarm citizens.

There's no need for citizens to have full auto weapons, I agree with this. Funny enough, they already can't own them despite everyone calling everything an "assault weapon" now.

I have noticed a lot of liberals are okay with the state monopolizing violence, even though that force they're arming historically has stood in the face of social progress. I get banning guns, but to keep the police armed is a fucking joke.

This is my opinion. In order to buy, own, or use someone else's gun you need to have a gun license. One of the requirements to get one should be a criminal background check (one that's more extensive and thorough than the ones we have now). And voluntarily submitting all mental health records should also be a requirement of getting a gun license. Once you get the license you must also sign a waiver stating you wont let anyone borrow or use your gun who doesn't have a license too. And if your gun is stolen you must report it immediately.

If you can do these simple things you can own an automatic assault rifle for all I care.

Just the fact that you'd need a license to own a gun is a blatant violation of the second amendment, just like issuing marriage licenses.

The fact that you need a license for something implies it's a privilege and not a right.

I anticipated this response but didn't expect it to come so soon.

Safety is more important than the second amendment. Someone who has committed crimes or is suicidal should not be able to present an I.D. and just get a gun.

I'm a progressive/leftist/whatever and never understood it. We got massive corruption in our government, the rich controlling everything, a wage gap that is ever widening abusive and murderous cops who are becoming more and more militarized and trigger happy, fascism/neo nazism/white supremacy on the rise with those types infiltrating the military and law enforcement, said folks carrying guns and trying to terrorize and intimidate non-Republicans, literal concentration camps, etc and they want to limit or ultimately erase the ability to fight against all that.

We got to fix all that first before we crack down on guns.

The right has the correct idea on guns for the most part, but they're a bunch of hypocritical sheep who support the tyranny they are supposedly against. The views on guns here are totally backwards.

You can have a fully automatic weapon if you pay for the stamp, give up some of your 4th amendment rights, and are willing pay out of the ass and fill out tons of paperwork

Some FFL dealers can even "make" (drill third hole) fully automatic weapons and them be legal.

That is the problem with gun laws in America period. If you have enough money you can do whatever you want with guns including concealing them in NYC or Chicago. Pay off the cops and you're good to go. Anthony Cumia has been toting a pistol in NYC for over 20 years. A normal person gets 5 years in prison for that

also, registration of firearms is also to keep track of them, such as in the event one is recovered or found to have been used in a crime. hence why filing off serial numbers is very naughty

Someone with a felony record would be red flagged during the required background check. Mental illness is protected from red flagging by HIPAA.

If the average citizen cannot access guns the police have less reason to have a fear-violence response. If the police have less of a reason to respond with violence, people would be more receptive to genuine criticisms against them.

Depends on the state, currently. HIPAA can be modified

No it isn't, your false sense of security does nothing but pester the overwhelming majority of gun owners. In fact, the fact that you know so little about how gun sales in this country to the point you think it's just an issue of showing an id and they'll sell you anything.

You know those agents in charge of enforcing the laws currently on the book are responsible for countless gun deaths, and your brilliant idea is to give them more power.

Gun control has historically been racist in it's implementation which is the biggest hurdle for liberals to implement it.

So yes when someone says only cops should have high powered weaponry it makes me feel like people are insensitive to minority groups that are disproportionately affected by police violence.

A little inconvenience to you isn't as important as people's lives, sorry. No one is trying to take your guns or make the police more powerful. We just want to keep guns out of the wrong hands and the cost is a little inconvenience to good gun owners like yourself.

As someone who believes in repeal of the 2nd I believe that police should also lose that priveledge. Special units would still have guns but just rank and file members would not.

Since we aren't really to put down our murder sticks I would suggest insurance on every weapon. A monthly premium would be paid. Then if the the weapon was used to hurt someone there would be a fund set up to recompense them. Police officers would also be required to carry this insurance although the monthly premiums might be defeated by the city they work in.

Tell that to Randy Weaver after the ATF and FBI caused the deaths of his wife and son, and a U.S. Marshal over a 17inch shotgun barrel (that they made.)
And maybe you should look up the Waco Siege and the ATF gunwalking scandal.

Insurance on every weapon would make them impossible to own for some law-abiding Americans, which violates the 2A.

And how many confrontations are going to happen when they have to go out into the streets and take guns away from people? Sure, you have the rich old people that think they need a gun in every room to be safe, but you also have young men holding guns in order to be protected while on the streets of Chicago or New York. How many more police shootings would happen when you go and try to take those guns away from those old people and those young men?

As a so-called SJW, "assault weapons" are just guns that look scarier than others. There is no real logic to that line of argument.

I'm totally cool with gun ownership. I just like background checks and maybe some purchase limits and mental wellness checks.

I would also love to see him sign up to be a police officer in Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago, ATL, Baltimore, LA etc etc without a gun lol.

If you took away the "rank and file" officers' guns they would all be like "fuck that I'm not going to poor neighborhoods" or they would quit.

A Mossberg Maverick 88 is $150 new and $100 used . If every gun was $800 maybe you'd have a point. A lot of AR-15s aren't even $800.

Your plan is to revive a Jim Crow law. that empowers an agency known for abuse of power and willynilly opinion changes that create felony offenses overnight.
For what? Maybe 30k~36k deaths per year, 2/3s of which are suicide (to which there are still countless other methods) and a good portion of the rest are gang related with stolen weapons. There also wouldn't be anything stopping some random lunatic since Sandy Hooks was stolen weapons and nobody else failed a background check.

Even Canada's recent shooting was done with guns he didn't buy legally, yet Canada is still abusing their Health and Safety commission's powers to ban "assault weapons".
