Compromise-ish

[Levetti]

I don't like the idea of compromising our rights away any more than the rest of you here, but can there be win-win legislation? Or at least wins for us, while tricking the gun grabbers into thinking they got a win? The get Johnny a safe thread got me thinking damn I wish I had a nice safe. So how about this idea...

The protect our kids legislation, which grants tax breaks of up to $25,000 for child proof firearm storage. This legislation will allow for $25,000 to be spent at the discretion of the firearm owner in any way they see fit to protect their firearms from children and/or theft. This will stop children and thieves from having access to firearms, which in turn would reduce violence/mass shootings.

What do you think? Can you think of any other ideas that could trick the government into paying for more cool gun stuff for us at the expense of the gun grabbers? The suppressor legislation was kind of in this mold.

No different than any other tax break. 8% will qualify

 

[Greenbug]

They can kiss my arse for 8%, not willing to give up rights when I am a responsible gun owner already.

As someone who is 16 and wishes to buy a gun at 18 but the current idea is to raise the age to 21, I think it would be a good idea to let them raise the age, but when you turn 17 you can start a program where you can take a certain number of classes on firearm handling, safety, etc. and have 6 +/- range days with an instructor to display the knowledge. If you complete the course then you get a mental health test and if you pass that you get a license which would allow you to purchase firearms as they currently are 18LG/21HG. Then you have to renew the card as long as you are below 21 and own firearms every year by having a single range day to check retention and a mental health test. That way it would keep young potential shooters from getting guns but would allow somebody like me who wishes to purchase a gun at 18. Irresponsible people don't get the card, responsible people do. Just an idea though.

Government when it comes to tax breaks

 

[Camelfilter]

A firearms owner/prospective purchaser should never have to prove mental stability to do so. Way too vague, and far too easy to corrupt.

How many mental health folk (from counselors up to Psychologists) would deem a person suspect simply for wanting to own firearms?

Nope.

The onus should be on the "system" (healthcare, law enforcement etc) to prove an unworthy person mentally unstable AFTER proper charges etc.

 

[GOG]

No.

 

[308]

Compromise means I demand, under penalty of law everyone on this forum owes me $100

But if you all pay by the end of the day today, I will drop it to $50

Great deal...right?

 

[Gator Monroe]

Only if it 100% precludes no Perma Ban ever no matter what

Requiring Special tests to exercise an inalienable right?....Let me ponder this......NO

Hmmm. Basic sentence structure. There/Their/They're. Two/To/Too. The capslock key, where and when.
Let's give it a try on the First Amendment------

Heck, I might even be in favor of limiting the round count per post on exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for correcting me and making me a better person.

DB--I had no intention of "correcting you"---or anybody. Sorry if it sounded that way. It
was just a poke at "Testing to exercise rights" in my usual sarcasm tainted style.

 

[Medic!]

I structured a sentence once.

It were bad.

 

[Gator Monroe]

Grammar Fascists ...

 

[mkwerx]

Nope

No compromising with the antis, their idea of compromise is we take some rights away now, the rest tomorrow. They never give and we never get.

 

[coyote223]

They keep showing that they don't want a compromise. Just look at the bills they keep introducing. They want the whole pie, not a piece,,,
