Why don't we do the same for firearms? (Here in California....) If you've had four tickets, no driver's license. Why don't we have a law saying "If you've been charged with assault and battery in the past four years, no firearms for you".
Why do we have to register our cars, but not weapons?
I'm just talking about some common sense laws here. The very first law we need to have is medical background check. No idea how to make it happen, but at the very least you should be sane to own a firearm. (Come to think of it we need the same law to drive a car.)
I never gave this much thought really.
I think this is a waste of time. It doesn't matter if you have one thirty round clip it's not much different three clips of ten rounds each. It's not like it takes thirty seconds to reload; It takes a few seconds to eject and ram a new clip in. Even with a handgun you can keep reloading all damn day long until everyone is dead.
The first law I would like to see is one about mental health. My wife works in healthcare, and all of the hospitals and doctors are hooked up these days via computer networks. Our government should be able to tap into these systems and see if you've seen a shrink recently or if you are on any medication that should be a problem. Privacy issues are no longer a concern; You wave your rights every time you see a doctor and you wave your rights during a background check to buy a firearm, same thing.

Having and riding a motorcycle is not a right guaranteed by the constitution of the United States, it is a privilege. Owning a firearm is a right. Fuck any politician to the murky depths of hell if they think they are above the constitution.
As far as screening for mental health, are you out of your fucking mind? Seriously Richard, love you, but that's nuts. Think about it, some shrink sitting in an office going thru 300 people a day determining their right to own a gun? Because if you want it to be just when they see a shrink, they will stop seeing a shrink to keep their guns.
Think of it this way, when we were kids, how many did you know that were on meds? Now ask your kid how many she knows, the Medical field is going to determine who gets a gun? They are drugging all our kids to line their pockets.
You do know that in this country you are like 5 times more likely to die from the misdiagnoses of a doctor than a gun shot?

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
