Glad you clarified that was said by a gun control opponent, because it certainly doesn’t apply to the average right winger as it pertains to brown people seeking shelter in this country as is their legal right. In that case, they loooove doing I neffective but obscene things.
Well, it’s a start: New York has banned the manufacture, sale or possession of 3D-printed guns last week.
Definitely not the surest bet I’ve heard of. And even if it would ultimately turn out to be just a handful - still ominously shitty.
Got an annoying “this item can’t be shipped to this address” message.
DrDeth is an idiot. I can’t stand to see his posts, even on issues where we agree. I’ve only got three Dopers blocked, and he’s one of them.
If they want guns to bring down an out of control government, they should have started about 2 years ago.
I just ordered one without a problem (Thanks for the link, Bo). Were you shipping to a P O box or something like that? Maybe they have certain shipping restrictions.
I hope it isn’t because I’m one them varmint Canadians.
(ah yes - just saw another bothersome message saying “This item does not ship to Victoria, Canada”)
Oh fuck, buddy, eh. There’s more of you around here than you can throw a snowball at.
yep. He’s a willfully ignorant cunt.
In a thread that literally starts out “Stop lying. Stop with the fucking lies”, you post that bullshit?
The vast majority of people are too fucking lazy to do anything as complicated as learning how to manufacture their own guns&ammo. If they can’t drive to the store and buy it, they’ll just do without.
How many people grow their own marijuana? How many cook their own meth? Almost none, and the information on how to do both those things is at least as easy to find as how to make guns and ammo.
So, that looks like a pretty small minority of gun owners to me, though to be fair, I could only read down to where they said “millions” before it kicked me out for the paywall. There are hundreds of millions of gun owners. What percentage of gun owners load their own ammo, do you think?
What is the difference between a gun owner, and a gun enthusiast, in your opinion?
I’m just impressed that a thread with a racial epithet in the title can stick around this long.
You must think gardeners and card-players are monsters.
What I hate about the internet is that I can never tell if this is sincere ignorance or deliberate trolling.
You believe that over 2/3 of the country are gun owners?
You might want to do a bit of research, instead of spouting off stats you think you heard on the news.
You start taking away ammo, from gun owners the number of gun owners that start doing their own reloading will swell.
Given the training and expertise of a majority of gun owners, that could prove to be [Artie Johnson]verrrry interesting…but shtupid.[/AJ]
Swelling from 1% to 3% is a 200% increase!! Panic, I say! Panic!
I’ll tell you a little secret: I’m an optimist. I’m going to assume that the bulk of people who roll their own bullets are not petty criminals or psychotic fucks. Okay, admittedly, you have to be a little bit insane to do that, especially nowadays, but I suspect it’s mostly limited to serious hobbyists. Of which only, oh, half of which are actually evil monsters desperate to murder people. At a guess, I mean.
So while I freely admit that it wouldn’t utterly eliminate the problem of criminals and deranged psychopaths murdering people with their guns, putting strict controls on ammo should probably make a rather significant dent.
Did you bother to read your own cite?
So about 1 in 9. Not quite a majority.
Not to mention that it doesn’t go bad. Neither do guns, really, but we have to start somewhere. It needs to start with guns.
I’m the odd moderate perhaps. I own 12 guns. All inherited in one way or another. Haven’t shot in a while. I do enjoy target shooting so I purchased a very high quality air rifle. $600. The specialized air compressor for it (3000psi) ran another $600. It’s very, very quiet. I have no neighbors, but don’t want shots to echo around the valley. I can hear the guys sighting in their rifles from a mile away. I can put holes in paper from our deck while my wife doesn’t even hear it inside.
