I think that keeping a close eye on the df's out there that have access to weapons would be a much more affective approach than trying to gather up peoples assault weapons. But I don 't think thats going to happen.
Really? Keeping an eye on me? Whatever for? I'm a banker, live fairly clean, been president of my school board, ran a bond levy for my kids school, hobby farmer, good father and husband, I have proposed legislation and saw it passed, even shook the governor's hand after she signed it. Pillar of the community, I am. No really, I am. How often, either openly or behind the scenes have I helped folks here and asked for nothing in return? More than probably 99% of the folks here. Don't mean to brag. It is just the facts.
When you need help protecting your rights, let me know. Oh wait, keeping you apprised of the situation at hand, and letting you know that you may wish to stock up on your 16rd mags before they are legislated out of reach might be considered being helpful. Also, as a bit of safety advice, bedside table or a quick safe would be a better option than under your pillow. Would hate to see a ND take out a fellow fisherman..
Take care, I wish you well.
None of my comments went meant to be directed at you Dog. Sorry if it sounded like that. I was refering to peope who have real mental illness and access to weapons, like the kid in Conneticut. The kid was obviously competely crazy and his mom has all these guns available to him. I'm not saying she shouldn't have the right to own those guns. But that is a situation that needs very close monitoring by mental health and others at a minimum.
You say that the high capacity mags don't matter but then you tell me to run out and stock up on them before its too late?
And you don't need to worry about my safety...the "under my pillow" comment was meant as figuratively not literaly.
You mentioned murder statistics in New York in an earlier post and how the majority were commited without guns. But every recent mass killing has been commited with semi-automatic weapons and that is what people are worried about. Mass shootings resulting in mass killings.
Sorry about me misunderstanding because to me df = dogfish. Possibly you meant dumb fuk? If that's the case, no harm, no foul.
On the high capacity mag issue, that is just me being courteous and helpful, as I usually am here. Do you see me laying into people here, as others do? No. Good luck finding some. I've had a bitch of a time finding 13rd XD .45 mags.
There was a guy who just shot his girlfriend while camping this week where he placed his pistol under his pillow, and it went off. (ND = negligent discharge) Glad to know you are safer than that. I was concerned because of your limited firearms experience.
Again, you and I differ on what effective legislation is. With NY passing a ban on these rifles after 5 total rifles were used, again no breakdown on what types of rifles, in 774 murders, I just don't see a logical correlation between the two actions. Legislation should not be proposed based upon emotion. Trotting those kids out on stage, pure showmanship.
Todd, let's review your stance after we see Diane's bill, and others, hit the media on Tuesday. There were a lot of shocked NewYorkers on Tuesday when they went to go shoot a round of trap, only to find that a background check was required to buy any sort of ammo, including trap and skeet rounds. They thought that since they were Fudds (as in Elmer Fudd), and had no need for evil black rifles that the legislation didn't apply to them. Turkey hunters who use shotguns with pistol grips, and target shooters with thumbhole stocks also were hit, quite unexpectedly. The devil is in the details, interpretation, and implementation.
Are you coming to the march on the State Capital on Saturday? Hope to see you there since you are also a gun owner. Just got the approval for another can on Monday, the .22LR one. Should have the stamp and can in hand by Friday or Tuesday. Offer still stands for a little shooting quiet.
