What exactly is common sense gun laws?

[Thor]

The only common sense legislation would be that which eliminated laws restricting our gun owning rights. We have rights to own guns, they have no right to take them, or for the anti's to live in a gun free environment.

But then again reading comprehension is not their strong point. Just as freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion.

 

[femurphy77]

Any law that results in the anti gunners getting their way; you lose your rights; is considered "common sense" gun laws. Another euphemism is called "compromise".

As said above, "common sense gun laws" is just a marketing tool to advance their agenda of confiscation. They're so full of s**t they stink every time they open their mouths. I called NPR once to refute some propaganda and was asked "well don't you think there are ANY reasonable gun laws?" When I pointed out that the NRA lobbied 3 years for an electronic records check system, before the anti gun lobby and their cronies in congress would accept it in any way, shape, or form, the response was "well...thanks...abda, abda, that's all folks!". They're NOT looking for their "honest conversation" in search of reasonable solutions.

That they think "gun free zones" are common sense gun laws when virtually every massacre happens in one, is proof that they're either liars pushing an agenda or they're "libtards" who have no business discussing public policy.

They might not have thought this through, but if they ever do manage to disarm the public, they'll have to regroup in their "war on guns" and support real common sense policies like securing the border in order to keep the narco cartels from flooding the country with AKs and other latin American civil war surplus

Yesterday, a gunman in California killed his wife, 2 neighbors, then went on a rampage and attacked a school before being killed in a police shootout. He had been ordered to surrender all his guns last April, yet the neighbors often heard him shooting. He violated a bunch of laws including recent rulings against him. We can't have "common sense gun laws" for those in our society who have no common sense. It's like trying to reason with a person who suffers from dementia or Alzheimers.

It's like having a Universal Background Check that doesn't violate your personal information or add your name to somebody's list of gun owners that can be hacked or used against you. Right now, a LTCH is about as close as it gets.

On a similar note, why does a NICS check include the firearm? Shouldn't a FFL run a NICS check on the gun when it comes in?

It's a phrase that focus-grouped well and means whatever you want it to mean. It also allows the anti-2As screech and bellow words that mean absolutely nothing.

Disarming you is not the end goal. The end goal is to take your right to defend yourself. To make it illegal to defend yourself. To be able to jail you for self defense. To take being in fear for your life away as justification for defense and as a legal defense for your actions. Or as a friend said,"[FONT=&quot]The gun angle is a distraction to the real agenda...eliminating self defense as a legal construct. That is the end game, after all."[/FONT]

 

[Bennettjh]

Any law to erode our rights. Just a little but here and there...

 

[bollerman]

I would debate "Common Sense Gun Laws" by asking, "Why don't we come up with Common Sense Violence Laws?" Or, I love it when they say that the founders could not have envisioned the firearms we have today. But, I think the first semi-automatic ( or automatic?) firearm was patented in the 1780's-ish. I retort with, nor could they have envisioned the tv's or computers we use for free speech. So, Mr/Mrs Progressive, if you want Common Sense Firearm Laws, I want Common Sense Truth In News Media Laws.

Sorry for not getting that historical fact straight right away, brain on low batt......-------

I thought I noticed a shift a couple of months ago by the anti's from using the term "common sense" to using the term "reasonable" gun laws. Same goals, just refining the sales pitch.

My same thoughts from another thread:

Common sense gun laws:

1). Remove suppressor legislation. I show them information regarding hearing damage and how suppressors are used in Europe.
2). Remove SBR legislation. I show them a picture of an AR pistol with a sig brace and a SBR.....and show how silly BATFE is.
3). Remove the Hughes Amendment to allow full auto firearms for public sale manufactured after 1968. I show them the legal path for owning full auto firearms and how silly it is to basically only allow rich people to own them.

That’s the conversation I start when they say they want compromise and “common sense” gun laws.....lets start there. Otherwise, it’s not really compromise, and it’s not really common sense.....it’s just them wanting to take away another piece of our already quite small cake. AND I WANT MY ****ING CAKE BACK! Personally, I’m done listening to anything they have to say about gun control until they listen as well.

 

[Leadeye]

Here are a couple I'm in favor of:
- Not allowing violent felons to have guns.
- Not allowing violent crazy people to have guns.

I can probably come up with more, and probably not as confiscatory as what the Founding Fathers accepted.

Back in the day we used to hang violent felons and lock up violent crazy people in asylums. That was considered common sense.

I think I finally figure it out, common sense gun law. No politician who is against the private ownership of firearms (any) will be allowed themselves, nor their family members to own firearms, as well as their security personnel.

 

[Ark]

The liberals consider it common sense that only police and military have weapons. That is their end goal. Occasionally one slips and admits it publicly

IMO if you vote for a Dem, you are voting for someone who supports disarming you. Yes, there are rare exceptions.

As a lefty, it boggles my mind to hear Democrats express outrage over wrongful police killings, then turn around and demand everyone be disarmed and the state be granted a monopoly on violence. Like, bro, you just said the state can't be trusted with a monopoly on violence because they use it to shoot black/poor people for no reason. Which is it?

 

[LCSOSgt11]

There are no such things as "common sense" gun laws. Any laws will be followed by the law abiding. Criminals could care less. I would suggest the term "common sense" is lost in this modern era of politics, much less the vast majority of politicians understanding the term.

 

[KittySlayer]

Any laws will be followed by the law abiding.

Yet I hear rumors that INGO forums would merge with a boating forum if any form of confiscation became law.

 

[88E30M50]

To me, common sense gun law would be pretty simple. Allow unrestricted gun ownership, but hold people that misuse them accountable for their actions. If someone commits a crime that is dependent on the use of a gun, bar them from gun ownership for 10 years of good behavior. If they go 10 years without any sort of incarceration or legal issues, then their gun rights are restored. If they abuse gun ownership again, they lose the right to own a gun for another 10 years.

If they use the gun in the commission of a crime, they get special treatment in jail. During whatever sentence they serve, they either lose social privileges or serve time under hard labor.

That's how I see common sense gun law.

I thought it was a Scuba forum that specialized in murky water retrieval.

Agreed!

Only common sense law, don't matter what law they come up with only law abiding people follow the law. The bads guys, rapist, murders and the like don't care about law.
