Gun Control

[377OHMS]

In the city of Los Angeles there has been a ban on magazines that hold over 10 rounds that has been in place for some time. That ban made it illegal to purchase or sell larger magazines but you could still legally own them if you obtained them before the ban or if you simply found them or they were gifted to you.

They just came out last week and banned even the grandfathered larger magazines basically making tens of thousands of people in LA criminals in that they are now in violation of local law.

It is, to my thinking, a type of de facto confiscation.

Some time ago in NYC, certain types of long guns were required to be registered. They were later outlawed. Unfortunate for those who believed the registration promise that said weapons would never be outlawed.

answer my question:

why does a 7 yr old need to be fully versed in firearm mechanics?

and, isn't that sending the wrong message?

Good question, actually I don't think every 7 year young kid should be a gunsmith[fully versed];
but since most 7 year young kids can read, good time to learn gun safely + guns.That is wisdom + thanks for the question............................................................

Maybe we wouldn't have so many accidents where one kid shoots another if the schools took a tenth of the time they devote to sex ed and devoted it to gun safety. Every kid should be taught how a gun works, how to determine if it is loaded or safe and the four basic rules of gun safety.

they can't even do math but now add gun 101 to the curriculum?? maybe we should expand to 10hrs of classroom per day to accommodate this???

Why is that?

 

[jimmiebarton]

Why is that?

off the top my head the culture reveres machismo over intellect, for starters.

every kid wants to be a first responder, or a football player. what kidsays, i want to be a mathematician? like there's no glory in that?

Gun buyback plans are too expensive according to some...

Violence committed with guns leads to significant public health and economic costs. Phillip J. Cook estimated that such violence costs $100 billion annually in the United States.[3]

100 billion dollars would buy a lot of handguns and assault firearms, which should be banned.
