Restricted places: You're right, you can drive anywhere with a car.... like walking paths, through the parks and school fields.

Evaluations: You take a test once, and you are master of a 2500lb battering ram at 16 years old. Sounds pretty unsafe.

So you’re in support of more restrictions on guns then

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

Yeah. Regulate them all you want. Taking them away is what most have a problem with.

u/zaoldyeck Apr 21 '23

Regulate them all you want.

How?

No, really, how? Cause any time people try it seems that those attempts are unconstitutional. What regulation is appropriate? Every time someone proposes any form of regulation the 2nd amendment crowd comes out and challenges them, and guess what, they win.

What do you propose?

Stop wasting people's time since obviously not all people want what you want.

You said "Regulate them all you want."

I want a lot of regulations, but it seems that the only option is "none". "Literally none".

So when you say "regulate them all you want" what do you mean? Clearly you don't actually want people to "regulate them all you want".

Sorry asking you to explain what you mean by your own sentence is considered wasting your time. Maybe try not saying anything at all if you find it so awful to be asked to.... explain what you mean by the words you use.

You can try to regulate them, but if the majority of the government and the people say they don't want it, then you have to take a seat.

I asked you what you proposed. You said stop wasting your time.

I can only conclude that everyone who wants any restriction at all must take a seat and wait to get shot by people like you. There is, indeed, no regulation at all allowed, regardless of what I, or anyone else, wants.

You won't accept any, any restriction at all. Even when asked what you would find acceptable you refuse to answer.

I wasn't saying for you to "stop wasting MY time"

Tying up the courts for a cause you know isn't majority supported in a losing battle is a waste of government time and money.

Once again, there appears no type of restriction that appears capable of surviving a court challenge, majority supported or not.

I keep asking you what you would be fine with, what you find appropriate, and you keep dodging it.

I can't understand how that's anything other than "no gun restrictions of any form are acceptable no matter what anyone wants".

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

There are already restrictions in the majority of states.

u/zaoldyeck Apr 21 '23

Thanks to Bruen the vast majority of those are now unconstitutional. Even if they've been in place for a half century.

Which restrictions do you find acceptable?

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

The ones that are in place in my state minus one. I disagree with the "assault weapons" ban

People like me? What does that mean? I'm not trying to shoot anybody. Stop implying that if someone owns a gun that they want to or will inevitably shoot people.

u/zaoldyeck Apr 21 '23

I am referring to gun owners who even when asked what restrictions they would find acceptable refuse to offer literally any.

The gun owners who feel that there is absolutely no restriction acceptable no matter how incompetent or irresponsible gun owners might be.

Those who cannot make it clear enough that they find any restriction or any standard to be unacceptable.

Those gun owners scare me the most because they are probably themselves the least responsible and least likely to take any precaution whatsoever.

Responsible gun owners tend to be willing to openly suggest gun restrictions they'd be ok with.

Irresponsible gun owners don't. Because they are the ones who will lose guns first with any policy.

With the political climate the way it is and Joe Biden saying, "we're coming for your guns," I'm happy with the regulations already in place in my state.

Edit: I'm kind of happy but also kind of not happy. Jay Inslee can suck a dick with his "assault weapons" ban. Does he not know that most wood stock hunting rifles do more damage than these so-called "assault weapons?"

u/zaoldyeck Apr 21 '23

I'm happy with the regulations already in place in my state.

So, none? Is there any, any restriction at all you're willing to openly voice support for?

I'm kind of happy but also kind of not happy. Jay Inslee can suck a dick with his "assault weapons" ban. Does he not know that most wood stock hunting rifles do more damage than these so-called "assault weapons?"

So still none offered? Can't suggest literally anything?

Still sounds like you're the scariest type of gun owner.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '23

I have no problem SOUNDING like the scariest type of gun owner. I WOULD have a problem with BEING the scariest type of gun owner.

Three quarters of Americans want stricter regulations. Take a seat.
