Bikes have a lane, build one for drunk drivers. Have it on the outside and drop it six inches so it works like a gutterball in bowling.
You might be the person on here that I would hesitate to let have a gun. You have some dark, violent thoughts sometimes... and I'm fairly conservative, so a lot of them are about people like me
I guess crazy non-RPG owners are just going to have to come up with a way to 3d print their launchers and use their skills to make rockets. In your example though, where are you getting the ammunition? Can't get gun powder on the open market. Can't buy ammunition from stores that sell them without a permit showing you own a gun and are licensed to do so. I guess you can smelt your own metal to make casings and fill them with rocks? I'd also like to point out the lengths you are willing to go to make sure you can have a gun in your possession and how INSANE it sounds when you type it out. You are willing to buy a 3-D printer to make AK-47 parts so you can....do what exactly?
And there are significant parts of the country saying it's ridiculous an 18 year old kid was able to acquire 2 AR-15's without a passing glance. If it's the case they don't want to follow the rules for gun ownership, maybe they shouldn't own a gun...
Its just innocent hyperbole. Like when somebody in a video game chat says “I’m gonna shoot up an elementary school.”
I'm still processing that you think the idea of 100,000,000 gun owners should fully be on board with random home inspections by govt officials is a valid idea. And now is when you say the idea of an 18 year old kid was able to acquire 2 AR-15's without a passing glance is baffling to you.
You should ask the people who are actually GOING to do that, I have no interest in making firearms, I make robotic cells. But considering it was that easy for me to come up with that goofy idea, people should be worried. If you know how to run an upright mill and a lathe, you can build virtually anything you want, right down to the insanely complex gears that turn a Rolex watch.
I told you that you're one of my favorite people for telling that guy to eat his date's frozen cat. I'll always look at you favorably.
Favorably or not, if you give me a gun it won't be a week before you're reading LA Times articles about a crazed cyclist shooting out the back windshields of cars who pass too close.
Just like I'm worried about people who make meth in their bathtubs. The idea isn't to make society this picture perfect, no crime, no death, no murder utopia. There are going to be people who do crazy things which defy logical, rational thought. My biggest objection is we aren't even doing the bare minimum. Our response to a continuous growing problem is to pretend it doesn't exist or pretend there is zero we can do to help curb it or anything we try to do to curb it is useless because it won't eliminate the problem 100%. Honestly, I heard the exact same arguments as to why we couldn't do anything about Covid and how everything is infringing on my rights and how this that and everything else. We were asking people to do the BARE MINIMUM and even that was too difficult.
Based on the federal requirements for gun ownership, some of which I've stated earlier in this thread we could start to implement.
Is this your way of asking to borrow one? I don't normally loan them out, but like I said, favorite people.
Okay, what exactly qualifies as mental illness? You do realize that the DSM-V has designated obesity as a mental disorder, right? Where do LGBT... people fall on this mental health scale? Because with the way that legislation has been going in this country, it wouldn't surprise me if some states start using that as a way to start limiting the rights of some people. I'd like to hear your take on this. Purely for entertainment purposes of course, because I think we all know that nothing is going to happen.
I'm well aware nothing is going to happen. It's unfortunate, but it's reality. To be honest, I'm not as much into the mental health aspects of gun ownership as I am putting in other measures. I don't think there are some definitive lines you can draw about a persons mental state which you can put on a clipboard and if you get 3 wrong you are disqualified. I will say though, suicide attempts, specific diagnosis from a licensed professional, and at the least mental health training and support to own a firearm would probably be close to what I would think should be in place. I'm not completely hard lined on this either. I could be swayed in any direction to fine tune something which is more effective. I also think domestic violence charges should be a serious disqualifier for home gun ownership as well. Not sure if that falls under a mental health or mental disorder, but I could see a link there.
