Thread: It was only partially about gun control

    It was only partially about gun control

    I didn't have the stomach to watch the Obama speech but, based on the summary below that has been floating around the internet, it was only partially about gun control. The list reads like the goal is a database, where a bureaucrat is in charge of what would qualify someone to be flagged. I assume that it could be used for more than background checks for gun purchases.

    Props to tangent4ron paul for his/her prediction on 1-11-2013:
    Assault weapons ban - the trojan horse will never happen. as planned.

    The "reasonable compromise":
    Mental health checks will be enacted. The criteria for this will be given to an unelected, and uncountable panel who will squeeze down the criteria till just about no one but the thugs can own a gun.

    Ammo records. Buy a certain cal, you most probably have that gun. The slow beginning of registration and confiscation.

    Registering weapons... nuff said...

    ban on high capacity magazines (or in liberal: "clips")

    Other REALLY, REALLY bad stuff!...

    The whole thing is just stupid. As Acala so aptly stated in his "Gun Control Rant":

    The Sandy Hook shooter murdered his mother, stole her lawfully owned gun, and killed a bunch of children with it. Exactly what kind of gun law would have prevented this tragedy? Since he didn't purchase the gun, but stole it, no controls on purchasing, no licensing requirement, no background check, would have stopped him. Even a complete ban on future sales of such weapons would not have stopped the killing since he stole an existing weapon rather than buying a new one. So EVERY law being proposed in the wake of the shooting would have failed to prevent the shooting. This is typical for legislation based entirely on emotion. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...n-control-rant
    NOTHING is going to stop the criminal or the criminally insane except another armed person or persons. Why is this SOOOOOOoooooo freakin hard to grasp???
