Gun Culture 2.0 article, interesting proposal

[Cleck]

Now as the article begins, there's 5% on each side of this side who won't like this article. I thought it was an interesting proposal

Interesting Take on “The Path Forward on Guns”

Talks about going with a Swiss-style NICS/background check, classifying suppressors as Class 1 firearms, getting rid of barrel restrictions and treating shorter ones more like handguns, mental health/danger to self/others clause, etc.

It's not perfect, but I think it's close to common sense. I like the classifying things as handguns, since if you can pass a permit background check in NYS, then you can have whatever (kinda), which I've always said.

I consider myself the 90% in the middle, but am interested to hear what some of you think. I'm sure I know what some may think, but I'd like to hear the rest

I expected to be in the 5%. Surprisingly, that plan is a net win for us. It's also a pipe dream.

The lefties and RINOs will never agree to that - especially they'll never agree to forcing NY into such a national standard. Hell, we should've gotten silencers and/or reciprocity in the most recent omnibus. Instead they gave NY (and every other state) even more incentive to name people as prohibited without due process.

Look, we've tried being the nice, reasonable, responsible and willing to negotiate side before. We've gotten fucked in the ass for it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

There's never been give and take with gun rights in this country. Its only been take and take.

Although many of the points in this article are "reasonable" and "common sense" I agree with @ManrisFrack and @togmaster that it is totally unworkable, as the left has proven (over and over) that their goal is total disarmament of anyone not under their direct and absolute control. This is how we got to this point; we try to be reasonable, and they never give up their totalitarian goals.

Right now the left feels they have the upper hand on gun control. ... They are getting so bold as to say ..We need to get rid of the 2nd... The ONLY thing that will put them in their place ......The ballot box for the next 2 elections ...

Never seen a give here, only the takes. My position has become more hardened and protective as a result. They owe us.

FUDD ... shall not infringe .. ... a shooter that was stopped by resource officer .. was it was his shot or not that stopped it .. who cares .. the kid wasn't going past him .. he stole his dads/moms pistol .. underage to begin with to have one .. so how did that background check work out ..
"mental health/danger to self/others clause, etc. " how is that working on MS13 or any other gang ..

lets pass a law .. thou shall not kill .. thats not on the book .. Murder is .. but you know they may not understand that word ..
what is the other 2 words that overrides this .. self protection ... then you can if needed to save your ass and kids and friends ..

nics = feels good ..
full auto ban = feels good
pistol permits = feels good

all fail .. unmoral humans don't give a damn .. they don't get thou shall not kill ..

be a FUDD = SLAVE .. give up your upper hand defending yourself / family /friend / stranger ..
