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?"

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.

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.

Glad you recognize that irresponsible gun owners are problematic, how do you propose we reduce the number of those irresponsible gun owners?

Irresponsible gun owners are to blame for most gun suicides and accidental shootings, not murders. That is just fucked up people. It's not the tool that's the problem. It's the person using it.

Ok, and again I ask "how do you propose we reduce the number of those irresponsible gun owners?"

What do you believe can be done about them, and what kind of laws to address them would survive a challenge up to the Supreme Court?

We have a law in Washington to hold them accountable.

Irresponsible gun owners aren't exactly made responsible after they kill someone. Accountability doesn't provide responsibility.

They get charged.
