Please please please. It's fewer guns, not less guns. Carry on.

Age discrimination is a real thing in Germany (where I live), but as yet there's no real solution. Once someone hits a certain age he or she just grows roots and stays put and glides to retirement.

Keep posting please, @oldschooler. That is all.

I like him better when he's throwing touchdown passes.

The odds are set based on how people are betting. It's not Vegas, it's the bettors.

he'd also like to show us his tax returns!

Shhhhhhhh

amnesty for giving them back; make the penalty for using a gun in a crime bad enough that people will think twice.

Here's something I posted in 2012 with a few new ideas Step 1: define "responsible gun ownership." To have a gun license you must: attend serious safety/training courses score adequately on a difficult written test (law, safe gun handling, first aid) score adequately on a difficult practical test (weapon proficiency, safe gun handling, first aid) these difficult tests must be impossible to pass without substantial preparation psych evaluation says ok pay fees re-test every five years senility or inability to control your weapons loses you your license no license? no gun. you may sell it to a licensed individual or the feds will buy it back with money from step 2 Step 2: tax the crap out of new guns, bullets, and bullet-making materials; use the money for a buyback-program Step 3: re-fund basic gun research (not ballistics research) Step 4: all guns must be insured Step 5: failing to responsibly own your gun makes you a liable accomplice if your weapon is used in a crime or simply liable if discharged accidentally. I don't care if it was stolen; you need to be responsible with this shit. Get a safe; get bars on your windows; it's your responsibility to ensure your guns don't get used for crime. Step 6: using a loaded or unloaded firearm to commit a crime gets you some ridiculous minimum sentence...I dunno, 20 or 30 years. Using an unlicensed gun to commit a crime adds a LOT to the sentence. Step 7: make room in the prisons by releasing minor drug offenders Step 8: pimpslap anyone who says "criminals simply won't follow these rules." Criminals don't follow the law by definition, idiot. Just because some assholes drive without a license, should we eliminate the driving license requirement? FUCK NO. None of this can happen at the federal level nor at the state level without a constitutional amendment, though. So don't worry, gun lovers.

Moar GUNS is the answer. https://mattbors.com/blog/2013/01/23/gun-safety-with-harry-hollow-point/

I'm not sure why you think I'm on the democrats' side. But by all means, keep praying.

I was thinking more along the lines of, "doing something is better than doing nothing."
