What most here do not understand is that in politics It’s a very slippery slope. Any gun legislation is designed to appear reasonable at first sight. These laws will have provisions that will evolve over time becoming more and more onerous and prohibitive once they are on the books.Once the public allows even the simplest laws that hinder ownership or use it lays the foundation for more egregious changes later on. It’s best to fight every attempt the left tries because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure… Don’t forget the NFA was unconstitutional when it was… Read more »
People kill people not guns,this is all nonsense, What’s next knives and axes,pepper spray, Every one of these politicians is protected by people with guns, but you your on your own against violent criminals,and don’t shoot them as they rob and rape your family or friends you will be the one going to prison,Fuck all these libertard demoncrats,they are all enemies of the country period.
I was born in Maine. Grew up around guns and hunting. I fully support the right of law abiding, non-mentally ill people to own firearms. That said, whoever wrote this article is just a delusionally knee-jerk, reactionary extremist. Every single one of these bills is a common sense law. Most are designed to protect kids from killing themselves with dads unlocked gun. Anyone who takes issue with making patents lock up their guns so their kids dont accidenty shoot themselves, is an ideological psychopath. Not to mention that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with prohibiting dangerous people from owning firearms!!! It… Read more »
So, Sachesi, under your version of the self defense law, if three thugs with baseball bats approach an old man and state that they’re going to bust him up, he’s not allowed to use a handgun to defend himself. Your law clearly states that “Only in the case of imitate (sp) protection from certain death shall lethal protection be justified” If a thug with a gun approaches an innocent husband, his wife and minor child in public, and states that he just wants to murder the wife and child, and has no ill will toward the husband, the husband is… Read more »
This is a good thing, we need more of this. This is what the Gun law should be. Step 1- Gun “school” and written exam- You should be required to take a course on gun safety and how to use a gun correctly, that is 7 days 1-2 hours per day. From how to load, to how to shoot, unload, keep locked up safely, and about actual gun laws, and self defense laws. On the 7th day you are given a test and must get 90% or higher. Step 2- Gun training- You should then be required to prove that… Read more »

This one doesn’t sound at all, “anti-gun”. We have it in SC and it speeds up the process of buying a gun from a FFL dealer for the dealer and the customer. Instead of having to wait for NICS check, along with whatever delays and computer glitches, they call State Law Enforcement Division and ascertain that your permit is valid. If so, your sale moves forward, immediately.
