Another school shooting, multiple fatalities

[bae]

Correct, but I wanted to also make it clear about shipping already owned, or family owned/inherited firearms. Sorry for the confusion, been on 13 hour days this week and getting ready for another 6 of those.

I had to do this when clearing out my grandfather’s estate, I had to bring a printout of that regulation and walk the postal people through it. When the counter clerk looked up in the large post office and unthinkingly yelled down to his supervisor at the far end “he’s got guns, I need help”, the clerk and I both paused, then moved very very slowly :-)

The Germans wanted to ban these shotguns for use in war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_1897

So im sure that if there is a will, there is a way for someone to kill if they chose. They will find a tool to get the job done.

You didn’t answer my question

i do own a modern sporting rifle if that was your question. It functions the same as my BAR 7mm mag that I bought to go elk hunting.

Ive shot it at the range also, but it’s not as accurate as some of my other rifles.

And im not concerned about anyone coming to get me or whatever you were wondering about.

I’m much more concerned by teens driving while looking at their phones. We should require that their phones are disabled if they are traveling over 5 mph. That would save many more lives than a ban on scary looking rifles.

I think we should ban the sale of cell phones to people under the age of 21. Apparently 11 children a day die from texting-and-driving. http://www.textinganddrivingsafety.c...-driving-stats

Heck, we probably shouldn’t be letting teens/children drive at all, so no licenses until 21 too!

And they obviously aren’t mature enough to vote.

Regardless of what you are shooting, if it is game or targets I have no problem. Stockpiling in your case does not seem paranoid or odd. I just wondered of the type of guns you use are similar to the ones that can take out a crowd from a high window or multiple students quickly. I have never held or shot a gun and I have no idea what any of them are
I think that is why we have so many problems. I have no clue about guns. Like I said the second amendment I believe should stay in place, perhaps with some clarification when deeded.
The crazy either Ban All Guns or the NRA saying Obama or Hillary means the end of the second amendment are the extreme positions. I don’t think either of these extremes is where we will end up.

Agree about the phones. There should be a lockout above a few MPH. But then what about a passenger?
also, driving and eye tests once you reach 80, more severe penalties for drunk driving, nothing extreme, just safety.

in some states kids younger than that drive farm equipment. Raising the age to 21 might pose problems for teens who hold jobs though.

I have firearms I inherited from elderly relatives that would be quite suitable for engaging multiple targets rapidly, and capable of extended periods of continuous fire. They were made in the 1800s.

I also have a Colt Gatling gun from 1877 that would be quite efficient at such things. They cost $50k-$100k these days, and each round fired costs about $1, so at full speed it’d run you about $1k/minute to fire. The effective range is perhaps 1500 yards. I am unaware of any being used in criminal acts recently.

Raising the age for rifles to 21 poses similar issues for rural residents. My daughter had her first rifle at 10 or so. At my very rural high school, we were able to check out our rifles from the school storage lockers when we went out to do our ranch chores.

The beauty of our Constitution is that it grants no rights, it limits government's ability to violate your inherent rights. Once you start clarifying I'm afraid all inherent rights then become privileges, available only to our overseers.
