• We have lots & lots of gun nuts here. I hate them.

    Want a hunting rifle? Fine. Just one.

    Want a hand gun? Must prove a need and can have one 6 shot revolver.

    Weapons fully registered with owner finger printed with renewal every 5 years.

    Ammo? 10 rounds for rifle. 12 for revolver. All brass brought in to buy new ammo. Each purchase requires finger print confirmation.

    Fuck anyone that doesn’t like it.

      Look, gun politics aside, there is a legitimate reason to have more than one hunting rifle.

      30-06 is great for hunting deer, but would be an extremely poor choice for hunting squirrels and raccoons, considering that there would be very little edible material left.

          Tough shit. Learn to bow hunt.

          You realize that’s like trying to tell someone to pick up their newly purchased big ticket item from the store using a bicycle, right?

          I get you’re trying to limit the use of guns by limiting the availability of guns and their ammo, but where you drew the line is too extrene/limiting.

          At that point you might as well just be honest about it and try to make guns illegal.

          • Nope. Take it or leave it. I’d even consider allowing multi hunting weapons, eg: shot gun season.

            But, only one long gun in the home at a time. The other must be stored at an official gun locker place, eg: police station, gun club, gun sales store, armory… Finger print ID to swap out which long gun you want.

              Just repeating myself at this point, but …

              At that point you might as well just be honest about it and try to make guns illegal.

              And for the record, I am pro gun control, but what you’re advocating is too extreme to be practical and workable.

      I’m astonished that you’re smart enough to remember to breathe, much less able to read and type.

      How, exactly, do you think that you get good with a firearm, good enough to be safe, good enough to ethically hunt? Do you have this pants-on-head retarded idea that you can shoot ten shots, total, and suddenly know what you’re doing well enough to not gut-shot a deer? Do you think that 12 shots through a revolver is enough to be competent? Do you understand how ejection systems in rifles work, and that you simply don’t recover all of your brass?

      On a short day at the range, I’ll go through about 100 rounds. I’ve been to an IDPA match that had a minimum round count of 120, and a Gun Run match that required a minimum of 50 rifle, and 60 pistol rounds.

      Beyond this - what other civil rights are you willing to accept restrictions on based on need? Do you really need to vote? Do you need to have free speech? Would you be okay limiting all of your online comments to just 12, and having to delete all comments before you could post anything new? Perhaps you should have to demonstrate need in order to not have your house searched by the police, or to plead the 5th?

      Fuck anyone that wants free speech, voting, religion, or the right to not have their teeth shoved in by cops, amiright?
