Pressure cookers are still legal, even after the Boston Marathon, with absolutely no national discussion of a ban, or licensing being required.
We have many ineffective gun laws on the books already, that are constantly undermined. And there will always be people willing to give absolutely no fucks about laws preventing them from doing horrible evils, which are almost always already illegal anyway.
And only requires a simple fix.
But, hey, why not just condemn all gun owners as potential criminals and go from there.
But hey, Bill Maher pointed something out in his final monologue last night.
It seems that a Democrat recently introduced a bill to make it mandatory for car makers to put motion detectors with a warning light and buzzer in cars to warn parents they left their kid in the back seat.
He then went on to speak on the simple fact that Dems have a nasty habit of wanting more regulations, instead of fixing the ones that we already have, without mentioning guns, but mentioning the EPA and other agencies and minor issues.
He closed with it is beginning to be perceived as the Republicans are the party of freedom and the Dems are the party that wants to micromanage peoples' lives.
He cited the democrat proposed and passed law that requires every business in California to post a sign that basically warns that in the vicinity of any business in California, substances may be found that have been linked to cancer in lab animals.
And he said, "that is the reason we ended up with an EPA director that does not care about the environment."
While I am not a big fan of his, I have to agree that he is right. The democrat party went from defending the rights of all Americans, and pushing for laws that, while did regulate some aspects, did not curtail, or eliminate the rights of Americans.
Ask any NRA member and they will agree, gun violence is a problem.
However, because we do not agree that we need more regulations before the obvious, glaring problem with the one is fixed, we need more, stricter laws. And because we are vocally opposed to new laws before the issues of the present ones are addressed, we are anti gun law.
Then you have groups like Gun Owners of America that openly advocate not banning bump stocks (the NRA has no problem banning them) and the complete repeal of all gun regulations with no gun laws replacing them.
And those groups are gaining strength because more and more gun owners are getting tired of being demonized by anti gun proponents for the actions of people that do not even make up a tenth of a percent of gun owners.
And then there are those on this board who use the same terms as the anti gun groups, and then when called on it, posts something to the effect she is not categorizing all gun owners with those terms, and in her very next post, she uses the general anti gun terms again.
The very terms that basically paint every legal, law abiding gun owner as a maniac waiting for a target.
Shit I already get phone calls from feds when I buy a few tons of fertilizer the same day I buy a tank of diesel, but have yet to hear from the feds when I make a bulk purchase of ammo.
Hell I got curious earlier this year to see what happened when I bought 200 pounds of gun powder.
No calls, no visits, nothing.
And done right, you can make a damn big hole with 200 pounds of gun powder.
