Black gun ban?


broken_line

Recommended Posts

There is no reason to concede anything. In fact, all it does is admit guilt and there is nothing to feel guilty about.

We give up 'X' this time and then what next time?

Or should we turn our yellow belly to the sky like you are advocating and just let'm take it?

People need to grow a spine.

Well said.

Trigger, +1.

I too, do not want to see any gun banned. This country is more secure because of the how we are armed.

However, gun owners such as ourselves will have to conceed something here. I feel large capacity clips is a sure thing, and tighter restrictions on who can buy Handguns and black guns, is likely.

The second amendment will always keep arms in our hands, but like everything in the U.S., restrictions will apply, as they probably should!

This kind of talk makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?

I think if gun owners start comparing guns to cigarettes, we will do way more damage to our image than good. I like the point about making a few easy concessions. Gun owners would probably get more support if we went to the table willing to talk instead of having our arms crossed.

I understand the 2nd amendment, and support it fully, but do I really need a rocket launcher? Under the 2nd amendment I should be able to have one right?

This is the scary part right here. Another shooting is inevitable, and they will be coming for more the next time around. Likely handguns or semi autos as their targets.

What "easy concessions" do you want to make? The AR platform is the most popular gun in American. You may not own one, but millions do. Ban those and large capacity magazines, and I can assure you handguns and all semi autos would be next.

The only concession I would make is to not allow dealers to sell at gunshows without doing a proper check. I still believe non dealer private citizens should be able to sell to one another without having to pay for the transfer. Unless you want police stations to do a free check for anyone, 24-7-365, I do not want the hassle and cost associated with selling a firearm to a friend or relative.

I think most rational, law abiding gun owners would be willing to concede to that jparrucci. I personally think private sales should have the same background check as store sales. If it keeps guns out of the hands of those that shouldn't have them, I'm game.

Because of people like Ufatz and AnyFish2 we are almost sure to lose some portion of our constitutionally guaranteed God given right to protect ourselves in the coming months. People who are so willing to drink the Obama coolaid and fall for the myth of the state knowing better are bound to give away the farm. Some may even think they are doing a good thing by doing so. So foolish and naive and idea to go along with any gun restriction, that those who do so deserve what they will end up with, no rights at all.

There is NO LEGITIMATE benefit to banning high capacity magazines, nor is there any legitimate reason to ban semi automatic weapons. The tool is not the problem, it is the use it is put to. The second amendment is the cornerstone against government oppression and tyranny. Without it, all others are meaningless and surely will fall.

The path this country is on disgusts me in so many ways. I hope something happens to get us back to what made us great before this current regime does more harm than we can repair.

Jparucci, In MN dealers are required by law to do the same check that they perform at their store when they sell at a gun show. IE they call in of the 4773 or whatever its called and be shown the permit to purchase or permit to carry if it is a handgun or A/R platform. Only private parties can sell without checking.

I have no problem with private citizens having to do a backround check ONLY if it is free and available same day

A link to the details of the proposed gun ban:

I would support a law that when you beat your 92 year old grandmother to death with a hammer, you execute that SOB. No trial, no prison, one bullet to the head. Or if you have a kid that has violent episodes, you keep your guns locked in a safe, dont go out to the range and teach him how to operate a semi auto rifle. All the laws in the world wont stop crazy people from being crazy. Its not on the gov't to tell us whats right\safe, its on us to change as a society.

". I too see no reason for high capacity clips. Nor do I see a benefit for AR's. Also, 50 cal? do we really need people having the capability to shot down a helo at 1000 yrds"

I have two .50 cals one is 120 years old and shoots a lead ball same as when the constitution was drafted. But saying 50 cal sure sounds scary just like in the movies.....

All because we NEED 30 round clips and can't just buy a run of the mill .223, it must be black and look tactical.

Sounds like you are telling me that you understand there is no difference between a .223 with a wood stock and one that is black so why should I give up the right to buy the one I want?

Dealers currently are not selling guns at gun shows without doing background checks.

Any FFL holder at a gun show is required to have you fill out a 4473 and the dealer calls NICS to do the instant background check.

The gun show loop hole is a myth created by The Brady Group and other liberal anti gun groups.

"The gun show loop hole is a myth created by The Brady Group and other liberal anti gun groups."

The gun show loop hole refers to private sales by non-FFL holders. The actual myth is that everyone knows what they're talking about when the discussion turns to gun control.

It's fairly obvious from this thread that many do not... wink

The "gun show loophole" is a misnomer, because the intent of closing the "loophole" is to regulate all sales of firearms between private parties, which incidently happens to include sales between private parties at gun shows.

Quote:
Beginning in the early 2000s, gun shows became controversial in the United States.[4][5] Those concerned about these events claim that American gun shows are a primary source of illegally trafficked firearms, both within the United States and abroad.[6][7] Those supporting gun shows include gun clubs and their membership, especially the National Rifle Association, and their response has been massive because they feel their Second Amendment rights are being jeopardized.[8][9]

U.S. federal law requires persons engaged in interstate firearm commerce, or those who are "engaged in the business" of dealing firearms, to hold a Federal Firearms License and perform background checks through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System maintained by the FBI prior to transferring a firearm. Under the terms of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, however, individuals "not engaged in the business" of dealing firearms, or who only make "occasional" sales within their state of residence, are under no requirement to conduct background checks on purchasers or maintain records of sale (although even private sellers are forbidden under federal law from selling firearms to persons they have reason to believe are felons or otherwise prohibited from purchasing firearms).

Those seeking to close the "Gun Show Loophole" argue that it provides convicted felons and other prohibited purchasers (i.e., domestic abusers, substance abusers, those who have been adjudicated as "mental defectives," etc.) with opportunities to evade background checks, as they can easily buy firearms from private sellers with no accountability or oversight.

Use of the "Gun Show Loophole" has been advocated by terrorists. In the summer of 2011, Adam Yahiye Gadah declared that "America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms." He also incorrectly claimed that, "You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card," Gadah urged Western extremists to follow this path. Subsequent news analysis indicated that individuals could not actually buy a fully automatic assault rifle at gun shows, although purchases of semi-automatic handguns and extended magazines remain legal without a criminal background check.[10][11]

The term "Gun Show Loophole" has been contentious with gun rights advocates, however. They claim there is no "loophole," only a long-standing tradition of free commerce between private parties that heretofore has not been restricted in the context of secondary, intrastate firearm sales.[12][13] Furthermore, they argue that the term "Gun Show Loophole" is misleading, as private firearm sellers are not required to perform background checks regardless of location—whether they are at a gun show, a flea market, their home, or anywhere else. They also challenge federal jurisdiction in intrastate transactions between private parties, which they argue exceeds the federal power created by the Commerce Clause.[14]

In July 2009, Representatives Michael Castle and Carolyn McCarthy introduced the Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2009 (H.R. 2324)[15] in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sen. Frank Lautenberg introduced similar legislation, the "Gun Show Background Check Act of 2009"(S. 843), in the U.S. Senate. As of October 2009, the House version of the bill had 35 co-sponsors (mostly Democrats) and the Senate version had 15 co-sponsors, all Democrats.

Presently, 17 states regulate private firearm sales at gun shows. Seven states require background checks on all gun sales at gun shows (California, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Oregon, New York, Illinois and Colorado). Four states (Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) require background checks on all handgun, but not long gun, purchasers at gun shows. Six states require individuals to obtain a permit to purchase handguns that involves a background check (Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Iowa, Nebraska). Certain counties in Florida require background checks on all private sales of handguns at gun shows. The remaining 33 states do not restrict private, intrastate sales of firearms at gun shows in any manner.[16][17]

The information contained in the entire article is interesting and should be reviewed by anyone interested in gun shows and the issue of private sales. The article has links to the source materials so it is possible to tell where the information and 'facts' came from.

It is a hard concept to consider when discussing gun control, but the use of data and facts helps weed out some of the emotional B. as in B and S. as in S.

So it sounds like there is not a gun show loophole at all. I do not want private citizens to have to jump through those hoops to sell a firearm to a friend or family member. Again, IF you want to regulate sales.between citizens, it better be free and same day.

The "gun show loophole" is first of all a "label" that folks apply to sales between private parties in or near gun shows. Those sales like any private party sale, are not required to go through an FFL and thus are not subject to a NICS check. The Wikipedia article that I put a link to details a variety of studies which show links between gun show sales, regulated and unregulated, where the weapon ends up being used in a crime.

There are suggestions and proposals that all private sales be subject to a NICS check which I believe would require that an FFL be involved. I believe most FFL's would require payment of some fee to cover their time. I also believe that one of the issues is that the FFL would then have to add each gun to his inventory books. This may create some paperwork issues for the FFL and may also create some liabilities, but I am not sure about that.

When talking about the so-called "gun show loop hole" it would also be helpful to know exactly how many guns purchased from a gun show are used in the commission of a crime each year. I'm betting that number is very low.

Collection of data regarding private sales is impossible to collect. By definition there is no data which shows a gun that was bought at a private sale. As for the guns purchased from FFL's that were later found to be either a crime gun or one that was purchased illegally, go to the link I posted above and read the details and if you are so inclined check out the reports via the footnotes.

There is no loop hole.

Private Face to Face transactions can take place anywhere you want not just at Beef Jerky and Fake WWII Nazi memorabilia shows masquerading as gun shows.

As someone who has conducted close to 200 Face to Face gun transactions in the last 13 years I can assure you that I have never sold a gun to a prohibited person. I have copies of the individual's DL, Carry Permit/Permit to Purchase and a signed Bill of Sale.

I have purchased more guns via private sale than I have by filling out a 4473.

Rum,

I can assure you that while you have done more than required by the law in conducting a private sale but you have not ruled out the possibility of selling to a prohibited person. A person's status with respect to the right to possess a firearm is not proven by their producing a DL, or a carry permit. Their status can most accurately be determined by access to court case data and police arrest records. That information is altered hundreds of times a day across Minnesota for hundreds of people,and I suspect hundreds of thousands of times across the country. Running a NICS check will give you relatively timely data from across the country.

If you chose to expand your inquiry to help determine if someone is prohibited you can at least access court record data for Minnesota here -

You could sew up all these loop holes and it will not make a difference when a bad guy wants a gun

Exactly, why can't these fools called politicians see the obvious like the majority of us can..........a hidden agenda?

This last shooting took place because of irresponsible and border line reckless parenting not some "loop hole". But for some reason everyone is talking about loop holes, you can't make it up!

Its also a joke that they call these guns Assult rifles ,when in fact every gun is a assult rifle, and if a pepper shacker is used to kill someone now that item has become an assult weapon.

What happens to all the ruger 10/22's that have been converted to look like a black gun?

The Shooter in the latest shooting (Spangler, the ambush shooter in New York) had some other person buy a gun for him. How does this law stop that?

IT WILL NOT.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
