So if you had to jump through your ass like that for any gun, it'd be fine.
Right?
So long as it's a well-technically-but-good-luck "ban" instead of an actual outright ban, you'd have no objections.
No...
Why don't you ask me straightforward questions instead of playing leapfrog with yourself and assuming what I'm going to say?
These ARE straightforward questions. It's a direct hypothetical about unavoidable results of what you're saying.
You don't want this gun law, on the basis that any gun law is bad.
Does that imply the anonymous sale of full-auto guns at corner stores? The word you are looking for is either Yes or No. There is third option. Either we can have laws against that... or we can't.
You're doing it again.
Sorry, if you can't converse like a normal human being then I can't interact with you.
"These are the obvious implications of the words you keep saying."
"Well stop doing that!"
I don't think you know what conversation looks like.
You are discussing laws about guns. Your stated position seems to be, we shouldn't have any. What the fuck is anyone supposed to say, in a conversation about that, besides addressing it directly?
Ok, goodbye.
Gonna block you now. You need to calm down.
Good riddance, poor troll.
For anyone more honest, stumbling across this thread:
We do restrict who owns which guns. Some entire classes of firearm are damn near banned.
If that's fine - then it can be applied to other guns. Like this law.
If that's not fine - the immediate implication is a free-for-all. Any gun, to anybody, anywhere. Like an Uzi in a gas station vending machine. Whether you want that scenario to be legal should not be a difficult soul-searching question. If you don't even want to deal with that possibility, in an online discussion, then don't propose changes that lead to dealing with it in real life.
