Current gun laws are enforced. What evidence do you have that they are not?
Why does any citizen need a large capacity magazine and speed loader?
Why does any citizen need an assault weapon (that is a weapon designed to kill many humans as rapidly as possible?
Not all felons are violent, some crimes of violence are misdemeanors (assault, battery, domestic violence, even ADW is a wobbler).
Background checks aren't extensive, if a license is required, I would have the offender printed and the prints be placed separately from criminal records, and recorded solely to notify the licensing agency if and when the licensee come to the attention of law enforcement. At that time the license could be suspended pending further information. If the information reveals the offender committed a serious violent felony, and act of domestic violence, etc.
Gun laws....in Chicago....they don't prosecute gun crimes.....the guys who shot up a park last year had gun crimes in their backgrounds but were given boot camps instead of long prison sentences due to weapons charges....
Magazines, speed loaders and assault weapons....first, they haven't broken the law, 2nd, the citizens need to have access to the basic weapon of the U.S. infantry....to keep the government from turning on the people...
Now this is funny ^^^. You really don't think through anything, do you?
The background check for the Santa Barbara killer....he had one done for each of the 3 weapons he bought.....the 8-9,000 gun murders a year.....current background checks didn't stop them....and stolen guns or guns bought for gang members by girlfriends and family members won't be stopped by background checks either....
You see the world as black and white, thus you cannot understand that background checks do not equate to a vetting such as done with police candidates. That thefts could be reduced if the gun owner did not safely store his or her guns, making the gun owner culpable both civilly and criminally for harm done with a weapon poorly stored and easily stolen might be effective.
Criminals do not get permits, licenses....only law abiding citizens do.....again.....how does that stop any crime.....
A criminal would be someone who didn't get a license, or one previously convicted of certain crimes. Any person who provided a gun to an unlicensed individual in any manner would lose their license and suffer criminal penalties as well as be civilly liable for any harm done to any person or their property.
We don't live in a movie where we can predict what each person will do before they do it.
When someone breaks the law with a gun...arrest them and prosecute them for the gun crime...put them away for a long, long time......that is effective gun control.....
"Use a gun, go to prison", and use of a gun enhancements are in effect in CA. and have been for years.
And more on Magazine limits.....the killer at Santa Barbara....used legally mandated 10 round magazines...the limits didn't stop him....
So, other killers/mass murderers have used larger capacity mags and speed loaders to do their thing. Why does an average citizen need to rapidly fire a dozen or more rounds?
The Sandy Hook shooter...changed magazines frequently, using combat reloading techniques so magazine limits wouldn't have mattered or stopped him.....
Once situation proves nothing, a shooter will need to pause, maybe take his eyes off of the targets and thus give some people a chance to run away or time to charge the Sob
Also...he had pistols with him....so taking away an the AR-15 wouldn't have saved any lives.....
You don't know that
magazine limits, gun bans....pointless and only punish the very people who don't abuse them....
