Legal for Hunting. Legal to Own.
#GunControlNow . If it's not appropriate for hunting food it's not appropriate to own. The Dept. of fish and game in each state should give the criteria.
Why is this important?
Considering unchecked gun ownership in the U.S. has reached an Everest level we need some slippery slope to get back to sanity. Las Vegas is just the latest example of our allowing an out of control gun culture in our country.
Here is my personal stance on civilian owned firearms and their ammunition. If it's not appropriate for hunting food it's not appropriate to own. Period. What is legal in each state for hunting should dictate the criteria for firearms and their ammunition as being legal for civilian ownership only.
It's simplistic enough that anyone can understand it. It speaks to the tradition of the 2nd amendment for self preservation. And using that simple template they could go down the list of available firearms and ammunition saying Yes or No to each one. The Dept. of game and fishing in each state could give the criteria. They limit what can and can't be used in hunting.
The GOP, and limply the NRA, is coming forward with banning Bump Stocks. Yay. Yiippie. When we get specific we only open the door for innovation. Someone right now is drawing up plans for a device that will do the exact same thing but won't fall under the definition of a Bump Stock. This is their way of appeasing since the conversation of #GunControl has entered the world of Country Music.
The NRA is only 5 million members strong. So why do they carry so much power? Because they can mobilize those 5 million members in an instant to express their one and only message. NO! And they think about guns 24/7.
On the other side is a variety of nuanced arguments powered by an apathetic grouping of people. The vast majority of which do not own even one firearm. People who only think about the devastating affect of firearms in our society when a tragedy happens.
If you want to play with military grade weapons then join the military. Otherwise the ATF should be rounding these things up. More people have died due to civilian gun use since 1965 in the U.S. than in all our wars combined. 3% of Americans own 50% of the firearms. What civilian needs an arsenal? And for what reason? #GunControlNow
A stance as simple as "NO!" is one that is difficult to fight. Gun Control has a much greater level of support than a lack of Gun Control. I believe how we gain ground on the other side of that argument of "No!" is to become less nuanced. Less varied. And less apathetic. #GunControlNow
Tell Congress to craft a bill of legalization for civilian ownership of firearms based on the principle of 'What is legal in each state for hunting will dictate the criteria for firearms and their ammunition as being legal for civilian ownership only.'
