The Other 98%'s take on Firearms

[oniriggers]

I thought you might like to see this...........dont worry i included a lengthy comment about how We in Mass already do 90% of it all for a fundamental Right.

Short version of the response: "So anyone who's taken a test and obtained a license should be able to buy whatever they want, right? No AWB, no import restrictions, machine guns, 20mm Anti-tank rifles, the works? And licenses work across state lines?" That should shut 90% of them up.

Other than the "Title and tag at point of sale" the rest of the restrictions on cars are only if I want to use it on a public road. I can use it on private property and at the track without any of those other requirements. I can buy any car I want and can afford. Off of public roads, I can possess and operate any car I want without restriction, without a license, without insurance. I doubt guns will ever be as unregulated (at least in MA) as cars are.

Also training is not required, you can wait til 18 to just take the test, and health requirements is pretty much just a vision test.

My copy of the Bill of Rights must be out of date, I cannot seem to find the right to drive a car anywhere.

It's with the militia language.

Also and along with that point, aside from not being titled property, most firearms are, in most shall-issue states, regulated exactly this way - no permit to own, permit to carry outside of private property.

Liability insurance on each gun is retarded. What will they base it on? How often that particular gun is used in a crime? The caliber? Do they plan on banning certain cars of features of certain cars like built in GPS and Bluetooth technology?

They don't make you get any training for being a parent or require you to get a license for reproduction and that is bar none the most important job anyone can have.

Haha and that is even a joke...anyone remember the old folks thinking the brake was the gas and go crashing into walmarts, cars, and people?

And despite all that "great" regulation on driving, there were only 32,885 highway fatalities in 2011. Seems to be working.
