When asked his opinion about citizens owning sporting rifles,
Dayton Police Chief Richard S. Biehl said it was “problematic.” I disagree.
I disagree because I do not believe there is anything “problematic” about
me or any other law abiding responsible citizen owning such a rifle.
And therein lies the problem with gun control or gun “safety”
or whatever Libs are calling it these days.
It is always pointed at restricting the rights of law abiding citizens*.
*NOTE: By the way, we've already tried an "assault weapons" ban. Remember? It failed miserably.
On 9-11 when 19 “peace loving” Muslim terrorists killed nearly
3,000 Americans using passenger airliners, no one seriously considered banning such
aircraft*. Instead the effort was
directed at keeping lunatics from boarding such aircraft. So why is it when a crazy uses a sporting
rifle to kill Americans the kneejerk reaction of Libs is to ban the rifle
instead of keeping such instruments out of the hands of lunatics?
*NOTE: Nor do look to ban trucks, knives, accelerates, acids or any other weapon of choice of terrorist Muslims to inflict chaos on the public.
How is it possible to keep such guns out of the hands of
lunatics? Simple, universal background
checks (UBC)*. The problem with the UBC
is that Demo-Dopes insist on using the system as a means of registration and
possible future confiscation by a socialist government - which most Demo-Dopes
also advocate.
*NOTE: The UBC
is only as good as the info that put into the system. The VA Tech shooter was certifiably crazy as
a loon, but because of “medical privacy” I suppose, that information was never
entered into the NCIS system. The TX church shooter was a wife beater and
discharged from the Air Force with a bad conduct discharge facts that the AF
never entered into the NCIS system. SO
as the old saying goes, garbage in, garbage out.
One remedy is a free NICS background check for all privately
transferred guns or closing gunshow loophole.
The check can be completed by a licensed firearms dealer who is
reimbursed by the government for the effort and time or by allowing private
citizens access to the NICS system. The
record of any UBC can be kept in most cases no more than 24 hours with all records
of a legal transfer being destroyed in no later than 90 days*.
*NOTE: While NICS is forbidden by to keep these
records for more than 24 hour/90 days, FFL dealers, who initiate the bulk of
UBC, are required to keep the form that supports the NICS UBC for 20
years. There’s your gun registration Mr.
& Mrs. America. Those FFL forms
should have a life expectancy no longer than the NCIS records.

To Lex's point. The CDC reports yearly gun deaths as 32,000.
Accidental as 1000, around 3 percent
Non-Gang Related as 2000 , 6 percent
Gang Related as 9000, 34 percent
Suicides as 20,000, 57 percent
And long guns, rifles? They are used in 300 of the yearly homicides.
The first rule to solving a problem is understanding the problem. Without emotion or preconceived notions. Without understanding the problems it is likely any efforts to solve them will have no affect or have negative affects.
The above facts seem to always be ignored in media and with the politicians.
