The ratio of crazed,homicidal maniac to

 I know when we do our active shooter exercises, scenario on up and ask the question if anyone would like to have a gun, the answer is typically yes.  When faced with imminent harm, most people will want an equal or superior method of defense.

 So I think the issue isn't if people should have guns, but if that is the only answer to the problem of active shooters.

 Good guy with a gun has its place but to say that's the only answer is not accurate and this is why a lot of people end up in arguments that go nowhere.  

 While safe at home my argument is more people should carry guns, so there's ample defense against a lunatic.  Problem solved.

 While safe at home my argument is there should be less guns, less availability so I don't have to defend myself against a lunatic with a gun.  Problem solved.

 Both of those go nowhere.

Yes and no Eegore.

What path have we been on in this country?  We have more guns per capita than any country on the Planet.

You can see how that's worked out so far.

We lead the world in gun deaths by suicide and we're number 10 on the most overall per capita - in such great company as Colombia, Guatemala and El Salvador...

I say it's time to take a different tack.

Instead of "thoughts and prayers", how about common sense gun control?

Somehow it's common sense for the law abiding to be defenseless against criminals.

Even security is prevented from having weapons.

Watch the Jim Jefferys skit on guns and Americans.

If you want to "protect" yourself and need a gun - maybe you should think about another neighborhood/state.

"Instead of "thoughts and prayers", how about common sense gun control?"

 I've not offered thoughts and prayers.  The portion of my post indicating that more guns is not the single problem solving answer is intended to indicate that more avenues should be taken than singularly adding more guns to more citizens as a complete resolution to the problem.

 Also the portion of my post indicating that less availability of guns is not the single problem solving answer was meant to indicate that gun control is not a complete resolution to the problem.

 When someone says "Common sense gun control" I rarely get any information that doesn't already exist in firearm control laws today.  My question is what do you do to remove the millions of guns in circulation today?  How do you get those guns away from the legal owners that want to keep them, and the criminals that also want to keep them?

 To me this is like making heroine more illegal and expecting all the drug dealers with crates and crates of it to give it up and get money elsewhere.  Also by making it more illegal it will reduce addiction rates biologically in our brains, make high-school kids less influenced by media, and poor communities more affluent and capable of making high volumes of cash in more productive ways.  

 All we have to do is make more common sense heroine control laws.

Not much you can do to get them back.  I don't think we should anyway.

Common sense gun control is just that - control.  But control at the federal level.

 To me this is like making heroine more illegal and expecting all the drug dealers with crates and crates of it to give it up and get money elsewhere.

Terrible strawman Eegore.  The fact is, guns are legal, heroin is not.

I know you're astute and you can easily find out what I mean when I say "common sense gun control".

Also by making it more illegal it will reduce addiction rates biologically in our brains, make high-school kids less influenced by media, and poor communities more affluent and capable of making high volumes of cash in more productive ways.

Again, that's a strawman...

"I know you're astute and you can easily find out what I mean when I say "common sense gun control"."

 Actually I can't, I would like actual examples as I have never seen a social problem solved by common sense being used in the methodology without specifics utilized in the implementation of change.

 My point is that "common sense gun laws" is something is rarely answered with specifics, and when it is, the law already exists.

 So more laws, just like any other substance, item, method, action, or version thereof that is legal or illegal is not maintained in a way that results in less abuse by means of law alone.  

 How by making more gun laws will we get guns out of circulation?
 
 How by making more gun laws will we address mental illness?

 How by making more gun laws will we reduce the availability of guns on the street?

 How by making more gun laws will you protect yourself, or your family from someone with a gun?

 Just use common sense isn't an answer to that.

Sadly Eegore, I can't provide you with any examples here in the states because there have been no significant changes to the federal laws.

I can only point to extreme examples like Australia.

 My point is that "common sense gun laws" is something is rarely answered with specifics, and when it is, the law already exists.

But not at the federal level.  Some examples:

A national Permit to purchase.
Tort reform aimed at unsafe manufacturers.
Federally enforced denial criteria to include violent misdemeanors - closing any local/state loopholes

That's just three simple ones at the federal level that would make great strides.


 So more laws, just like any other substance, item, method, action, or version thereof that is legal or illegal is not maintained in a way that results in less abuse by means of law alone.  

 How by making more gun laws will we get guns out of circulation?

We won't - and that is not the intent.  The intent is to make owners and potential owners more accountable for what they have.
 
 How by making more gun laws will we address mental illness?

No, of course not.  However putting back the regulation that the trump administration took away (H.J. Res 40) - the regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun - would be a step in the right direction.

 How by making more gun laws will we reduce the availability of guns on the street?

By making those who own them, more accountable.  Again, I have to ask - how's the current system working?

 How by making more gun laws will you protect yourself, or your family from someone with a gun?

Well, I actually do own guns.  But to think that I own them for personal protection is kind of absurd.  I like to shoot.  Just like probably 99% of all gun owners.

I go back to Jim Jefferies - even though he's a comedian, he's got great points about gun ownership.

I mean, are you really that paranoid that you're going to face someone in your own home that wants to kill you?  What kind of person are you?  Where the hell do you live?  In a country of 300 million people, how many are being killed in their homes by guns from a home invasion scenario?

That kind of paranoia is being taught to the rabid "from my cold, dead hands" gun owners.  It's complete BS.  I'm surprised that someone with your obvious intelligence can't see through that and is swallowing the pablum of the likes of the nra.

And again, I'm not abdicating that we "go get the guns" like Australia, but what we've done so far in this country has done no good, has it?

 Just use common sense isn't an answer to that.


No, but common sense gun laws are.

 If you link an article that I feel has an incorrect assessment of a topic does that make you dishonest?  If an article you link is inaccurate does that mean you lied, or does that mean you want me to read the article?

What would be great would be for the people who have been pushing against guns in the hands of average people to realize that those are the same American citizens who make up society. The vast majority are good natured, nice people. They are actually class mates of the cops. There is no special DNA that makes cops. Regular folks who want to carry and can demonstrate safe carry and marksmanship are as able to stop a bad guy as a cop. The higher the percentage of people who are armed, the less likely a nutjob with a gun will last more than a few seconds.
And once the nutjobs figure out that there is no place where they can have a room full of defenseless targets, you'll see a major drop off in nutjobs trying to get their names on the news.
The next one is out there, planning on killing people. But keep people defenseless, demand everyone be vulnerable, deny them the right to defend themselves, because you care.

You guys are talking yourselves to death.

How was your County, or State, 150 years ago, in 1870?
In those days it was "freebie guns for all" - yet how many actually carried, and how many gun-related deaths?

I'm ready to wager that, regardless of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood films, the Wild West was possibly more peaceful than current day Detroit or Los Angeles.

When I visited, I never ventured out after dark, unless accompanied by local hosts, especially in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Ridgecrest, CA, and Flagstaff, AZ, were our only exceptions.

There was an instantaneous response from the government and the result is palpable. 42% decrease in gun deaths.

"It's an obvious and simple solution."

 I'm not sure its simple, legally arming teachers in some states is not easily done.  Creating the tax structure to pay for the hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition annually, training centers and safety protocols will take time.  Some states have the ability to allow certain teachers to carry firearms and amounts to less than one percent of total faculty, making the programs usefulness very limited.

 If we are going to embrace mass distribution of firearms we need programs similar to military or organized law enforcement training and logistics.  

 Just saying carry moar gunz does't change the complexity of mass firearm distribution, safety and training.

Title: Re: Good Guys With Guns

A national Permit to purchase.

 I'd be interested in hearing more about how this works.

Tort reform aimed at unsafe manufacturers.

 If someone uses a Colt brand firearm in a gang shooting is Colt an unsafe manufacturer?  How does manufacturing apply to firearm usage, for instance when Ford recalls a vehicle its a manufacturing defect, but if a guy mows down 800 children with a Ford they can not recall that model for defect.

Federally enforced denial criteria to include violent misdemeanors - closing any local/state loopholes

 I think a similar standard should take effect, but enforcing it would be a challenge.  The manpower for auditing alone would be in the millions of dollars.

"I mean, are you really that paranoid that you're going to face someone in your own home that wants to kill you?  What kind of person are you?  Where the hell do you live?  In a country of 300 million people, how many are being killed in their homes by guns from a home invasion scenario?"

 It depends on ones line of work I guess.  For instance I don't feel paranoid of a home invasion, but if I have the option to protect myself I will do so to the best of my ability and not rely on someone else to do it for me.  Kind of how I like to make my money.  In a 1 mile radius around my home in town in 2018 there were 6 home invasions, one murder in the home (beat to death with a hammer) 4 stolen vehicles, 9 arrests and I live in a normal lower crime area.  

 To say having a gun for personal protection is paranoia and also saying we need to look at ways to lower gun violence is an interesting stance.  One is acknowledging that gun violence is on the rise and dangerous all while saying that considering protection is paranoid.  Its like saying that locking your vehicle doors is paranoid because there's millions and millions of cars that will never get broken into.

Title: Re: Good Guys With Guns
Post by WebsterMark on 11/13/18 at 08:45:51

Tort reform aimed at unsafe manufacturers.   Any judge seriously considering this should be disbarred.

National Permit.   Given Obama's use of the IRS as a political tool, the idea of a national permitting database is a scary prospect. There's no way it wouldn't be abused. Remember, SS#'s were originally for one thing, tracking earnings history. But now, they are defacto national ID#. I decline to give mine for anything except SS business. For a long time, Missouri has SS # as DL#, but that's been changed. Absolute certainty a national permit database would be abused.

If you want to really analyze gun crimes, begin separating by perpetrators with previous arrests and convictions of violent crimes. The idea is to find a way to not include gang bangers and other criminals shooting each other. Let's admit what we all know. In St Louis for example, if I remove 3 or so zip codes from the crime stats, we might be as safe as a gunless England. Most violent gun crime is situated in a couple areas of any major metropolitan areas. Trying to find a solution that works for those areas, the type of area where I live and rural areas is probably not possible.

"I mean, are you really that paranoid that you're going to face someone in your own home that wants to kill you?  What kind of person are you?  Where the hell do you live?  In a country of 300 million people, how many are being killed in their homes by guns from a home invasion scenario?"

 It depends on ones line of work I guess.  For instance I don't feel paranoid of a home invasion, but if I have the option to protect myself I will do so to the best of my ability and not rely on someone else to do it for me.  Kind of how I like to make my money.  In a 1 mile radius around my home in town in 2018 there were 6 home invasions, one murder in the home (beat to death with a hammer) 4 stolen vehicles, 9 arrests and I live in a normal lower crime area.  

I'd have to disagree with that, given what you just stated.

 To say having a gun for personal protection is paranoia and also saying we need to look at ways to lower gun violence is an interesting stance.  One is acknowledging that gun violence is on the rise and dangerous all while saying that considering protection is paranoid.  Its like saying that locking your vehicle doors is paranoid because there's millions and millions of cars that will never get broken into.


Somewhat true I suppose.  However, one is precautionary and the other is reactionary in that you physically have to wield a gun at a perpetrator and pull a trigger.  Locking a car or a house is far less confrontational and takes practically zero effort.

Suffice it to say, there should be more responsibility on the gun owner or potential gun owner at the federal level.

Tort reform aimed at unsafe manufacturers.

 If someone uses a Colt brand firearm in a gang shooting is Colt an unsafe manufacturer?  How does manufacturing apply to firearm usage, for instance when Ford recalls a vehicle its a manufacturing defect, but if a guy mows down 800 children with a Ford they can not recall that model for defect.

That's not really the intent.  The manufacturers that sell indiscriminately are more the target.
Mfr's sell to licensed distributors, so how is that indiscriminate?
Furthermore, equating a vehicle mfg defect with illegal use is a poor analogy.

 My owning a gun has never killed anyone either.  If I have the option to lock my doors to my house I do, its safer, does that make me paranoid?

 If I have the option to install a pull rod iron security door I do, its safer, does installing a security door make me paranoid?

 If I can own a firearm and also use that firearm when not hunting to aid in home defense I do, its safer, does owning a gun and using it for home defense make me paranoid?

 At what point are we crossing the line to mental illness?  

 As for the attack dog and trunk monkey chasing somebody running away then that's still illegal.  Shooting someone with a hammer intent on crushing my skull like the guy down the street from me is not illegal.  I certainly don't plan on using my own hammer in a duel waiting for law enforcement to arrive and save my life for me.

 I agree.  We've run thousands of active firearm simulations over the years and among many of the common themes is that people typically miss their intended target when under duress.  Things really change when its not a piece of paper at the end of a corridor.

OK, fine, let me rephrase... my locking a door can never kill anyone.  The gun's only purpose is to destroy anything that it's pointed at.  Period.  There is no other reason to keep it for "protection".

 If I have the option to install a pull rod iron security door I do, its safer, does installing a security door make me paranoid?

Yes, as a matter of fact, it does.

Yes, it does.

If your intent is ONLY self protection, then yes, you're paranoid.

Eegore, I'm not saying that all paranoia is bad either.  To think you don't need to take any precautions in life is folly.  But how far do you take it?  I know a guy that sleeps with a Bowie knife under his pillow - literally.  I knew a woman that dated a "rent-a-cop" that slept with a gun in the headboard.  She came in late one night and he freaked out and nearly blew her head off.  Where do we draw that line of 'enough is enough'?

My point is - the way that most people who fervently defend the Second Amendment argue that owning guns is a right that should rarely (if ever) be challenged.

I disagree.  

There was a conversation on here about other Amendments being (gasp) amended because they didn't reflect modern times.

Same with the Second.

 So if locking doors is a paranoid is it fair to say that most people in America suffer from mental illness?

 My understanding of paranoia is that it is the creation of a non-validated fear that prevents one from performing normal tasks without anxiety.  

 When I lock my doors I am not doing so out of anxiety or fear, I do it because its safer.  Like seatbelts I am not in fear of flying through my window to the point that I think every oncoming car is going to collide with me causing inordinate fear of traffic and related anxiety or other physiological changes caused by paranoia.  

 Its just safer to wear a seatbelt, but by your logic it paranoia because I did it exclusively for self protection.  So installing a security camera doorbell that allows me to see whos outside before I open the door is a sign of mental illness.

I don’t agree with that scenario.

Look at it, realistically.
Don’t be just saying it to install,  FEAR, in peoples minds.

Dark movie theater.
Seats 300,
their are 150 people in 'their'.
8 are ‘good guys with guns’.

Your, pure FEAR Planting,
‘Assumes’, the bad guy with a gun, KNOWS, who, and exactly where, the 8 people, (out of 150), are in a dark theater. And shoots them First !

The only way, your, FEAR  Planting scenario would work.
Is if their are ONLY, 8 people in the theater,
(and each of the 8 had a gun)

It has been said, their is a big difference between paper, and defensive, shooting.

I believe, (have not seen any study/poll on the subject), that the people, that cannot differentiate between paper/defensive shooting, are the same people, that do not have a clue, what that extra pedal on the floor of a car is for.

I asked:

 If I can install a security camera doorbell and a home alarm I do, its safer, does having a camera and security system make me paranoid?

You stated:

Yes, it does.

 So by installing a security camera doorbell I am paranoid.  Paranoia is a mental illness according to DSM (DSM-5 301.0 ) and is classifiable because of the following:

"a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual [which] is associated with present distress ... or disability ... or with a significant increased risk of suffering"

 So security camera doorbells = paranoia, or in other words a facilitating example of mental illness.  

 Or its safer.  The line isn't thin, its literally definable based off of decades of categorized criteria.  If home security devices are compelling evidence of mental disorder why are they not part of the DSM?

 Maybe because safety and preparedness isn't the only measurable criteria for evaluating mental illness, but by your logic it is.

 My assessment is that people without consistent adrenal based target acquisition training will rapidly fire upon targets without accuracy or often times immediate recollection of the expanse of time, target, or resource usage during a life threatening event.

 People without consistent training tend to pull the trigger 3 times before realizing their weapon has emptied, when under duress.  This information I have collected working over the past 11 years at various FLETC and other training facilities worldwide.

 A crowded theatre of 300 people with one active shooter gaining access from one of 3 public accessible entry points will experience return fire, however of the 8 additional active shooters it is very possible that due to adrenaline alone that bystanders will be hit.

 I see firearms equivocal to automobiles in this scenario.  More cars on the road doesn't mean there will absolutely be more vehicle fatalities, but historically that is what has happened.  More guns introduced randomly into a crowd of people in a restricted place doesn't mean there absolutely will be more firearm related fatalities, but there is little evidence that suggests otherwise.

Yep, agree.

Their are, LOTS, of variants in that.

Working in/with a FLETC, (Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers) environment. Does, NOT, mean, that is the best. Not by a long shot. (Pun Intended)  LOL

I estimate, (in my experience), their are 60% of Civilians, (that Carry),  CAN outscore, and surpass, in a, adrenaline, shooting event, a, 'trained Police Officer'. 30% are just crap. 10%  close.  (+/- estimates)

And of course that varies in the physical location of those people.

"Working in/with a FLETC, (Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers) environment"

 FLETC are the locations, not the people, we have also used Pendleton, Ft Carson, Ft Lewis, Frontsight NV, and I don't know how many NRA locations, but FLETC provides the best resources and are the most common locations as Simunition can be shipped and stored direct.

 Law enforcement typically score higher regarding accurate target acquisition and impact, active military second, civilians age 24-32 score third, retired military with 1-10 years out is usually last in the list among people who regularly interact with firearms. The highest scores by a long shot are Air Marshalls, they train a reliable method consistently designed for close-quarter accurate shots.  Even though its designed for close quarters it translates easily to mid-range application, so well in fact the Navy is now looking into it.

 Everyone says they can handle it until the rounds start flying their direction, people are shoving them and knocking them to the ground, and lighting is altered during the event.

B. Is installed in a Intensive BB program, and is taught ALL the fundamentals, and practices, practices, practices, practices, etc…

In 6 months, B, will OUT SCORE, A, in FT’s. By 10-20%.

For the last 6 months, B, has had no further training or practice.
A. has just done the Pick up games.

A will OUT SCORE, B, in FT’s. By 10-20%.

So the same with Firearms training.
A person, (Law Enforcement Officer), JUST, coming out of a intensive firearms course, will score high.
Yet without continual training, practice, their skill will quickly degrade to below, the, ‘Civilian’,  who, ‘Just Has It’.  
And a civilian, who, ‘just has it’, will totally beat the pants off a, ‘trained’, LEO, who favors Donuts over Bullets.
Every Time!

Who do, YOU, want armed and protecting you.
A ‘Donuts’ filled cop, who hasn’t had any firearm training in YEARS.
Or a Skilled, Civilian ?

LET, the skilled, teachers, janitors, principals, be armed.
They are there, the, ‘cops’ are NOT.

"Who do, YOU, want armed and protecting you.

 A skilled civilian if my only choice is a cop that hadn't had firearm training in years, which in most jurisdictions I am aware of is illegal, annual competency is the standard but some do more.  However annual training doesn't mean skill improvement.

 There is no way to get firearms exclusively in the hands of civilians that "have it" as its just pure chance.  A gun can end up in the hands of someone with bad vision, there's no eye exam to own a gun, or heavily consumes narcotics, there's no drug test to own a gun, or someone who has low competency, there's no skill test to have a gun.

 So lets just hope that janitor is competent, visually acute, capable of handling stress and doesn't consume narcotics to alleviate that back pain of his.  Maybe he just "has it".  Lets just hope all 8 of those guys in a crowded theatre operate above average with firearms and not like the average person.

 Also by selecting someone who "has it" is selecting someone who performs Above Average which means statistically there are considerably fewer people operating in the "has it" range of competency because if everyone operated that way they would cease to be Above and just be Average.  

 Who would YOU rather have protecting you - a civilian that scores high at the range that's never been in a fight, let alone shot at, and is legally blind, or a cop that receives monthly competency drills, has had multiple attempts on his life and is competent in firearm safety?

 Anyone can rig the selections by creating hypothetical situations that favor their view of an argument.

The bottom line to this is simple: If you're one of those people stuck in a room with a madman pounding on the door to get in, my guess is all of us at that point would want the option of having a gun. If you were in a theater and shots rang out and you had no easy way out, you'd want a gun. Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns every day.

And I hate it when the I read crap like this only happens in the US. Fist off, that's crap but more importantly, there are a lot of things that only happen in the US, the vast majority of which are good.  Crime overall is down.

As bad as these random mass shootings are, they are random and infrequent. Certainly not incidents to make a nationwide legislation from knowing full well in advance the perpetrators will ignore whatever policy you put into place.

I don't trust a government with 100% of my personal safety and my obligation to protect those in my house.

I asked:

 If I can install a security camera doorbell and a home alarm I do, its safer, does having a camera and security system make me paranoid?

You stated:

Yes, it does.

 So by installing a security camera doorbell I am paranoid.  Paranoia is a mental illness according to DSM (DSM-5 301.0 ) and is classifiable because of the following:

"a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual [which] is associated with present distress ... or disability ... or with a significant increased risk of suffering"

 So security camera doorbells = paranoia, or in other words a facilitating example of mental illness.  

 Or its safer.  The line isn't thin, its literally definable based off of decades of categorized criteria.  If home security devices are compelling evidence of mental disorder why are they not part of the DSM?

 Maybe because safety and preparedness isn't the only measurable criteria for evaluating mental illness, but by your logic it is.




LOL - do I need to hire a lawyer Eegore?

OK, for your sake, and because I respect you, I'll acquiesce.

Perhaps "paranoid" is too strong a word.

I'd say that "misplaced fear" is more accurate.

Let's face it - that misplaced fear is what drives far too many to own guns or other weapons with the express intent to maim or kill.  At least, that's been my experience.  

Feeling that, at any time, you'll be shot at or victimized in some way is no way to live.

So the argument that someone owns guns for the express purpose of protecting themselves is (to me) silly.

Take it however you want jog.

What kind of life is it to live in fear all the time?  Fear of the "invasion" on our southern border.  Fear of the Muslims "taking over".  Fear of the "big bad gubment" coming to take all your guns.  Fear of the "war on Christmas".  Fear of everything...

Enough.

Yeah, be cautious, don't be stupid - but don't turn it into something that it's not.

Don't try and tell me that there's a need for a "well regulated militia" to rise up against a "tyrannical government" in this day and age.  There just isn't.

."

 That makes more sense although I'm not sure I agree entirely.  I agree that feeling you may be victimized or shot is no way to live, but during my time in CA that was a normal, uncontrollable way of life for some people in the inner cities.  Unfortunate, but a measurable, factual risk.

 My mother was murdered in her home, it makes sense to me that even though she wasn't a hunter, a sport shooter, or even interested in guns that if she would have survived that she would today own a firearm for the express purpose of self protection.  

 I will however acknowledge that being killed within one's home is a very low risk that is most-likely going to get lower as security tech, like cellphone linked alarm/camera systems become more available to middle and lower class incomes.  

 Going back to what I said before about some of this outlook may depend on our line of work.  On the side I help volunteers learn how to be active assailants in civilian self defense programs.  As part of that preparation we listen to a 911 call of a woman being actively raped.  In that call she says she is on the phone with 911 and that police are on the way.  The assailant states clearly "I don't care." and proceeds to sexually assault her while she screams and begs him to stop.  He completes the assault and leaves before law enforcement arrive.

 Not one person including law enforcement staff that partake in this training exercise suggest she use a phone over a gun, but that's because of our line of work.  Due to consistent exposure to criminal behavior and victims of violence I think those people would lean more towards firearms as protection.

I'm very sorry to hear about your mother.  I now understand your point of view much better.

All the more reason I respect you, because you also see mine.

To be clear Eegore, I'm not, and never will, call for the banning of guns.  I'm not even calling for the banning of assault weapons (mostly because that's a BS term).  What I am calling for are tighter restrictions at the federal level and holding gun manufacturers to a higher standard.

As to the "paranoia" claim/statements I've made - I've seen far too many people with the constant mindset of self-protection.  Many of them border on full blown paranoia (in the clinical definition).  These were the same people that bought thousands of rounds of ammunition when Obama was elected.  Most of them thought Sharia law was coming and they needed to protect themselves.  I guess I simply don't understand nor have ever had that mindset.  Fortunately.

I want those manufacturers to ban sales to the "bad apple" dealers.  They should be more aware of who they sell to.  Then, they should be held accountable if they continue.

5% of the licensed resellers provide about 90% of the guns used in crimes.

And, yeah jog - tort reform.  Lawsuits against the gun industry could promote safety standards in the design of firearms and restrictions on the ways guns are marketed.

Works for tobacco and alcohol...

Furthermore, tracing a gun used in a crime back to a dealer does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing or negligence on the part of the dealer. Guns could have been bought by straw purchasers (people who obtain guns legally as a cover for someone else) or passed around the second-hand gun market before ending up in the hands of criminals.

Or stolen,,


Yeah, TT, it's the only stuff available, BUT you act like it's so telling.

It does.  The law effectively shields retailers from lawsuits, academic study and public scrutiny. It also keeps the spotlight off the relationship between rogue gun dealers and the black market in firearms.

(From the UL’s  Favorite UL sight)

And this:
The editor of the New York newspaper that created a furor by publishing the names and addresses of gun-permit owners suddenly is out of a job.
According to the Rockland Times, a competitor to the Gannett-owned Rockland County Journal News, editor Caryn McBride is among the casualties of a recent purge at the Journal News.

The report said 17 journalists were among a total of 26 staff members at the Journal News who were let go.

McBride and other executives then decided to hire armed guards to protect their property, the Times reported, “causing an uproar due to the perceived hypocrisy of the avowed anti-gun editors hiring gun-toting men.”
Two months ago, the White Plains-based newspaper admitted that the information it published was badly outdated. The paper acknowledged many people had a dot on their house, indicating there was a gun permit at that address, even though they didn’t own a gun.

The responses to the publication included the publication of a map showing “Where are the Journal News employees in your neighborhood?” The Times said a Clarkstown police report confirmed that armed security guards were hired for the Journal News.

The Times also reported that shortly after the publication of the map, authorities said burglars entered the home of one of the gun owners identified by the newspaper, and a gun safe that was on the premises was damaged in a robbery attempt.


https://www.wnd.com/2013/08/bang-editor-fired-after-publishing-gun-owner-map/

And this  UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflake.
"Below is a 446-page list of every licensed gun owner in New York City. I obtained it from the NYPD two-and-a-half years ago via a Freedom of Information Law request.”
“…could see the name and address of each pistol or revolver permit holder. Accompanying text states that inclusion does not necessarily mean that an individual owns a weapon, but had obtained a license…”


Again the the he/she called tt, that cannot read or comprehend.
Read this again, (or have someone read it to you)
These names do not necessarily mean that an individual owns a gun, but just had obtained a license.
Today, those are, state  records, which you can get, if you have a ’taint’ buddy that gives them to you.

And now all the Panty in a bunch people will yell,
“They Have The ‘Right’ to know”
Perfect examples of,  I can, You can’t.
(What,,,, the UL, Panty in a bunch crowd,
Forgot, about MY  ‘rights’)

HAY  tt, YOU own a gun,
(at least you have said so many times, or where you Lying again)
So, post your name, address, age, gender, etc.etc.etc !
No Problem, Right !
Or is this just another,
YOU can I  can’t
LOLOLOLOLOLOL

So for all the UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes.
The ’tracking’ of firearms, by LEO/etc. is Still the same as it was in 1968.
What has changed is,
the UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes,
are NOT allowed to harass law abiding Citizens !


Another example of the,
UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes,
'thinking'. they will make something better.
When in fact they SHUT OUT scientific study of a subject.
Because, they are, (supposedly), 'thinking',
about how to make things better.

It's the same as a Condo community.
Where NO BBQ's (open fires) are allowed within 25 feet of a building, and only in the back yard area.
Sounds Good, however the UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes, could not see, from the building to the property line, in the back, was 24 feet.

And that is basically what the, 'taints' have been doing to this Country, and want to do more.

"Below is a 446-page list of every licensed gun owner in New York City. I obtained it from the NYPD two-and-a-half years ago via a Freedom of Information Law request.”
“…could see the name and address of each pistol or revolver permit holder. Accompanying text states that inclusion does not necessarily mean that an individual owns a weapon, but had obtained a license…”


Again the the he/she called tt, that cannot read or comprehend.
Read this again, (or have someone read it to you)
These names do not necessarily mean that an individual owns a gun, but just had obtained a license.
Today, those are, state  records, which you can get, if you have a ’taint’ buddy that gives them to you.

And now all the Panty in a bunch people will yell,
“They Have The ‘Right’ to know”
Perfect examples of,  I can, You can’t.
(What,,,, the UL, Panty in a bunch crowd,
Forgot, about MY  ‘rights’)

HAY  tt, YOU own a gun,
(at least you have said so many times, or where you Lying again)
So, post your name, address, age, gender, etc.etc.etc !
No Problem, Right !
Or is this just another,
YOU can I  can’t
LOLOLOLOLOLOL

So for all the UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes.
The ’tracking’ of firearms, by LEO/etc. is Still the same as it was in 1968.
What has changed is,
the UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes,
are NOT allowed to harass law abiding Citizens !


Another example of the,
UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes,
'thinking'. they will make something better.
When in fact they SHUT OUT scientific study of a subject.
Because, they are, (supposedly), 'thinking',
about how to make things better.

It's the same as a Condo community.
Where NO BBQ's (open fires) are allowed within 25 feet of a building, and only in the back yard area.
Sounds Good, however the UL, Progressive, Panty in a bunch, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes, could not see, from the building to the property line, in the back, was 24 feet.

And that is basically what the, 'taints' have been doing to this Country, and want to do more.

So when you call me, ‘little fella’, it don’t  mater.
You just don’t know.

I have stated my age, many times.
And reading my posts, one could conclude/affirm my age by the content/references/etc in my posts.  
The same as gender.
So keep saying, ‘little fellow’, it, don’t bother me at all.
Because, you simply, Don’t Know !

Yet I see, me, calling you, ‘he/she’
greatly bothers you.

I know you have said your gender is male,
but by your posts/reactions/comments,
and by your constantly Lying in your posts.
(Lying, is eliminating Facts or manipulating Facts, on Purpose)
I simply don’t know what your gender is.
So I will continue calling you, ‘he/she’.

mn - feel free to call me anything you'd like.  Call me he/she, call me a snowflake, UL, whatever.  All that does is show everyone what a little, petty boy you are.  Little.  Tiny.  Nothing.

You see, I don't really care what you say.  It all looks like what I posted above - jiberish that you can't quite make sense of.

The funniest thing is though, is that you think it's important.  You think that it actually represents your point of view in a good way.  You think it makes sense!

Unintentionally funny is what you are.

Like I said - you represent the conservatives and republicans on here very well.  I'm sure they're happy you're on their side.

:D

Thanks for making yet another Friday a good one for me!

Keep up the great work!

Oh - and bless your heart.

I do have an answer - my sincerest apologies vers - your comment didn't catch my attention.  Talk to mn about that - maybe put some all caps or bold type up...lol

I'm not talking about anything that granular.  Statistic firms conduct research on cars all the time.  They don't get detailed sales numbers of actual driver's information.

Thanks to the Tiahrt Amendment, the gun industry is now shielded from the public via the ATF from disclosing their sales.  This prevents any ral statistics from being gathered for academic purposes or litigation.

It's a smokescreen brought to you by the nra.

The US has more guns per-capita than any other country on the Planet.  I guess it's silly to think that we should maybe have the toughest oversight...

So you would absolve the g men their responsibility to regulate those licensed dealers who are on the 5% list?
And their responsibility to go after the strawmen?

 No, just unnecessary and hindering to creating well designed studies and programs to prevent illegal distribution of firearms to begin with, among other beneficial programs related to gun-violence prevention.

 Someone already said it is the same as vehicle, or pretty much any other technology used in the US.  The item can be studied without using my personal information.

In a room full of people with guns and shots being fired by some,... how do the "good" people identify the other good people?...
MAGA hats?.... ::)
The likelihood of them identifying each other as bad guys is pretty great.  


How do the police identify the bad guy?...

More guns will just make things worse.

Well one, 'common sense' way would be:
Who, is shooting at me ?  Who has a gun in a inappropriate place?  Who is shooting at who ?

The likelihood of them identifying each other as bad guys is pretty great.  
(I believe you mean, 'them', 'as a good guy/gal with a gun'.
And, 'each other' as other, 'as a good guy/gal with a gun' people.)

With that in mind. (Never been in a situation where in a theater/restaurant/school, and a 'bad' guy started randomly shooting at people.  
I do believe the first reaction would be to hide/barricade. Then access the situation. Then determine if I should leave/retreat/engage. And those decisions would be made by, 'common sense', and experience.

Bot, remember, their is no one, even suggesting that you, give up your right to be, defenseless.
Their is none saying you, 'have to', defend yourself.

How do the police identify the bad guy?...
People that point a gun at them !

I believe that was because of the 'gun-grabbers', efforts.
which they tried all sorts of ways to 'ban' guns.
By making them, un-popular.
Didn't that amendment come about, because the anti-gunners were filling all sorts of frivolous lawsuits ?

Which when many of the gun grabbers saw what happened, they tried to do a end run around the Fed law, then saw how it totally backfired, when people did it With State stats.

Nothing changed as to LEO's 'tracking' a firearm.

The item can be studied without using my personal information.
Yea it can. The amendment can be added to, if it needs to be.

The problem is the, 'Anti-Gunners', want YOUR name, address, etc.
Just for 'owning' or applying for a FOID card/permit and not owning a firearm. As it was said "easy as going the FOIA request route to get that info"

Numbers, made/imported/sold, firearm/s used in a crime, what kind of crime, firearms used in accidents/suicide, and a whole bunch more.
How are any of those affected ?
Their are other agency's keeping those records.

The big deal is, does,
Bot or tt, want their name published,
their address published,
their phone number/s published
The number of, and kinds of guns, published ?

I know I don't.
