(2,158 posts)Before they can do that they will have to create a registry; who are you, how many guns, what kind, where are they? The MAGAts will go bat shit crazy. It is what they have always feared. Up until recently I never believed the right-wing story about needing to have guns to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. Now I'm not so sure. I think the wanton murder of Alex Pretti while exercising his Second Amendment rights opened alot of eyes.

I remember when "Obama is going to stop the mfg of ammo!!!!" & the price for 9mm got as high as almost $2 a round. Idiot MAGAs were buying everything they could at those high prices. Now you can get it for about .25.
Idiots.

(38,334 posts)I don't want one. I am afraid I'd shoot myself accidentally or, more likely, deliberately.

(22,296 posts)Truth be told, I'm more afraid that I'd accidentally shoot myself or someone else than I am of anything else, because I am such a freaking klutz. But either way, me + a gun would be a very unsafe combination.

(3,474 posts)I'm in my 80's. Born and reared in a crossroads cotton picking town in rural South Mississippi. Grew up with a .22 cal rifle shooting squirrels and garfish when I visited my Cajun cousins on Bayou LaFourche.
Lifelong FDR New Deal Democrat. As a college student in Alabama in the 1960's I marched in Selma, Montgomery, and Birmingham and am still marching.
28 years a soldier.
I own guns but I don't make a fetish of them. Hunt, target shoot, keep varmints out of my garden.
But my response to Pam Bondi is simple: Molon labe, Sweetie, Molon labe

(3,530 posts)... my entire adult life (60+ years), and a little bit before that. I was even an NRA member when it was a responsible publication devoted to firearms safety. That was before Wayne LaPierre befouled it. I'm old, but I'm still an expert marksman.

(3,530 posts)... to the NRA with the help of the gun industry is a fucking obscenity.

(21,768 posts)was about hunter / firearm safety and nothing more. And Uncle Sam taught me to shoot very well. And dad. Accuracy, son, accuracy.

(350 posts)Several years ago a convicted felon was accused in Florida of illegally possessing firearms. He took it to court and won because the guns he owned were vintage
.older than fifty years. I have a rifle in superb condition that was used by Canada as their primary weapon during WW1. It uses a 30 caliber center fire shell. I wonder, if we ever reach that point, if the government would confiscate everything including black powder. Comments?

(9,305 posts)Wonderful guy, but heartily drank the MAGA kool-aid. Him - and his friends.
Used to forward me "those" emails we all got, generated by the Reich-wing nutbags. Or Russians. He and everyone of his friends (all of whom live in WEALTHY suburbia) went out and bought Glocks or similar to "protect their shit!" And brag they had all the guns, and libs like me, didn't. I took it as a threat.
One day I got pissed. I replied back that I'd bet that of every one of his fucking friends (and him), I was the only one to serve in the military (1st Infantry Div.), and had fired and qualified on more military shit than him and all of his friends - combined; that I was qualified on the Army's main battle tank and every weapon on it! I even fired a guided missile! And not just those Armor weapons, but most of the weapons carried by infantrymen.
And I wasn't the only one, you fucker!
Final: I don't have or want a gun. But just to piss him off I applied for a Concealed Carry permit!

(12,771 posts)With that said, my Dad taught us to shoot on the farm so we could keep predators away from our livestock.
If I had to, I could protect myself and my property. Good grief, I always said I would never own a gun....
