That is not a solution to violent crime, nor does it put a burden on gun owners who have nothing to hide. Those who IMO should never be licensed to own, possess or have in their custody and control a gun:
Thus any licensed person who knowingly provides in any manner a gun to someone unlicensed would be added to the list of those who should never again own, possess or have in their custody and control a gun.
- Anyone convicted of a violent felony
- Anyone convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, child abuse or animal abuse
- Anyone convicted of misdemeanor assault, battery or threatens another with great bodily injury or death and has the means (a gun) to do so.
- Anyone found to be addicted AOD (alcohol or other drugs).
- Any one to be convicted of DUI on three or more occasions
- Anyone ever detained civilly as a danger to themselves or others
And your theory is that one thing criminals won't do is break the law and buy a gun illegally. On the other hand, by definition honest citizens don't break the law. So what you have done, Holmes, is agree with my op. You only want to restrict gun ownership for honest citizens, LOL. Thanks for playing, but you lost. Here's our board game version to take home with you. Don't go away mad, just go away.
LOL, liberals, classic
Then your post was irrelevant since that is the subject of the thread. So what is the purpose of licensing guns if you are not claiming that will stop criminals from getting them exactly, Holmes?My opinion included not a word which could be inferred by anyone who reads with comprehension that "criminals won't do is break the law and buy a gun illegally". That is one more logical fallacy (Straw Man), and I'm being kind. In fact it's a LIE.
What a dumb ass. Word parsing is such a great argument ... not ...Honest citizens break the law everyday (I hope that paradox isn't too abstract for you) and that is why we have penal codes. Speed and you get a ticket and a fine; steal and you get jail and a fine; sell a gun to an unlicensed person and you woujld lose your license and pay a fine.
I would like to seeguns restricted to honest, sane and sober citizens. I know that's not practical, not possible and I know the NRA and its members care only about their rights, not the rights of others; they will never stop falsely claiming the Second A. is sacrosanct. Heller was one vote short of proving this claim wrong.
Right, and your plan is to only restrict ownership for honest, sane and sober citizens
My plan was to demonstrate the fallacy of the loaded question. Your efforts to rebut my claim - easily verified by reading the link supplied - was to post several common logical fallacies (Straw Man, Red Herring and Ad Hominem).
I wrote I would like to see guns restricted to honest, sane and sober citizens. That would include the vast majority of citizens. Maybe you've been busted for too many DUI's, or threatened to harm or kill others, or been detained as a danger to others - and feel my opinion is too harsh? If so, tell us oh wise one, who should not own, possess or have in their custody or control a gun?
I would love to see society restricted to honest, sane and sober citizens by taking those who don't fit that description removed from society and either incarcerated or restricted to hospitals to get the mental health treatments they need, rather than letting them wander about suffering and creating problems for honest, sane and sober citizens.
