GUNS

[applesauce]

In order to get a firearm where I live you have to:

Fill out a form and enclose $15 and send it off, get a background check and wait 30 days for it to come back.

Go pay $225 for a 2-day class, including transporting yourself out of the city to attend the second day of the class (firing ranges are illegal in the city-- except for the police of course).

Pass the class.

Pay $35 and fill out another form, be fingerprinted and photographed, wait for the background check, wait another 30 days.

Pay $15 for each firearm you bring into the city limits, with a max of 1 every 3 months.

Even after all of this, there is no concealed carry, a magazine limit of 12 rounds, and an assault weapons ban.

Yet, with all these laws, we had over 500 homicides last year.

Really, if there is anything to convince you that gun control doesn't fucking work...

Yet, with all these laws, we had over 500 homicides last year.

Which is more deaths than in Afghanistan last year (in terms of US forces).
Really, gun rights aren't about guns, it's about the right, and gun control is about control.
Read a book called 72 hours to animal, and see why ahead of financial and social collapse the powers that be want to confiscate weapons.
