No, not this decade. A century later, who knows? Did anybody really think the Nazi's would ever be

starving millions of Jews in death camps?

Did anybody ever think that the nazis, for all the uplifting talk, really meant to dominate and destroy?

Would anybody ever have have thought that Stalin would starve out millions of Ukrainians? Did anybody

ever think that Mao would cause millions and millions to be killed?

Did anybody think that Putin the scum, would invade the Ukraine just recently? Does anybody think he wants to resurrect the soviet union type of control over surrounding countries again? He said, in 2010, that

the great mistake they made, was dissolving the soviet union, and giving those countries their freedom.

And now, Crimea is their prize. Did you see that coming, Chris? The world is becoming a more dangerous,

smaller place all the time.

Well, the world had better damn good and well watch Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and other countries

very, very closely. Did you miss the Russian outrage over us putting DEFENSIVE missile systems

in place in Poland and a few other countries?

Because they wouldn't be able to instill fear and control over those countries again in the "near" future,

that's freakin why.

If you had been there just before WWII, would you have scoffed at the possibility of the nazis blasting your country

with bombs?

Your are adopting the old "Neville Chamberlain" utopian viewpoint of the world.

Despite the corruption of this ObaMao gov - all the scandals, I expect maybe more like chaos and insecurity,

even instilled fear if we have a national crisis - like a financial crash.

So, Chris, you libs don't get principles. In principle, a society gives up it's guns, it ends up with oppression in one fashion, by rogue oppressive gov, or oppression by rampant crime like home invasions...

The Australians want their guns back. Crime went up, and they are defenseless against violent crime in their own

homes.

In principle, most Americans will not give up their RIGHTS and FREEDOMS, period. And no amount of insipid lib

whining and rationalization will ever change that. I say again, there just isn't any kind of legit motive to go after

law-abiding citizens when you want to stop the criminals from committing gun crimes. The criminals do not

obey the law in the first place.

So gun laws in the U.S. a 100 years down the road can be positively or negatively effected now. Unless you intervene militarily or clean energy becomes cheaper than fossil fuels, the emerging world is not going to impede their rise due to fears of climate damage. So you deal or run around screaming about it to no avail.

These are presumably the same people who say that we shouldn't do anything about global warming because it won't affect us for 100 years, by when they'll be dead?

Do you really think that the USA is in danger of being run by a militant government? Seriously now, how would that work? You'd be getting Obama's secret police coming round to rough you up if you didn't obey the leftist agenda? This is the 21st century, as soon as any of that shit starts happening it becomes world news immediately, and China, Russia, North Korea and a bunch of other places jump at the chance to going in and bomb the crap out of the white house. So tell me, what possible motive could someone have for trying to create an oppressive dictatorship in the US besides destroying both the country and himself?

a society, and the society ends up oppressed.

Obviously, we've noted this in the past. Again and again.

There sure the heck is with the banning of guns from a society.

Complaining about bad guys with guns committing crimes, and then

supporting laws to restrict/ban guns from the good guys...who will

be the only guys obeying the laws...

only makes for reason to suspect ulterior motives.

@gftchris said:

The difference is that the "idiots" in your scenario will never be effected by the laws create to stop them. They will continue doing what they are doing thus the law will change nothing. It will just make it more difficult for the law abiding and some bureaucrat will line their pockets with the extra revenue generated.

Oh, is there a lib movement to ban all vehicles?

Libs all over saying that "you don't need a vehicle" ?

and

"you vehicle owners want people to die via

being hit by vehicles"

?

There is no ulterior motive toward registration regarding vehicles,

and there is no 2nd Amendment guaranteeing us the right to bear vehicles.

No anti-vehicle lobby. No libs blame the AAA for any nutjob who drives into the ocean

with her kids.

get with the program.

To collect taxes.

It gets inspected to be deemed "safe". Unless it travels less than a 10 mi radius from your "farm" it can go un-inspected as a "farm vehicle." Or it can be >25 years old and forego the annual "safety" inspection.

If they want to make the same exemptions for my guns, fine by me.

Know that the gov did? They simply defined certain guns as illegal.

Overnight, many honest, decent Americans became guilty of owning

illegal firearms, so they said to turn those in, we know who you are, and what

you have, and where you have it. Or sell them somewhere else.

Which has nothing to do with stopping crime. It's a devious way to win

a major political battle over the LEGAL ownership of guns.

The only reason to "get" legal, responsible Americans to register their guns in one fashion or another,

is to control them, tax/fine them, and eventually confiscate them.

Because criminals do not obey the laws you gun control people want to pass.

So, it really isn't crime gun control people want. It's the win against gun ownership by everybody else.

No, but the ability to take away guns is only a farce, until it actually happens.

Like during Katrina. Martial law someday. Right now, only a fool would think that

registration of guns, with privacy legally required, would never be a problem.

Except, when it happened. A judge recently ordered the release of those records.

And gun permits went public in newspapers.

So, sure, it's an open door to gun confiscation, whenever a left wing gov gets a hold of the law.

Then, the door simply gets walked through.

Either admit that historically, the gov knowing where guns are, has led to eventual confiscation, and

admit that gun confiscation cannot happen without that registration, knowing where they are...

or continue to smart off about subjects you don't know about, don't want to know about...

and your ulterior motives are then showing.

How about this - the rfid chip can be turned off completely by the legal user of the gun, while it's in use?

And add an ability to have a user defined numerical password. So, only the legal owner can use or authorize the use

of an rfid gun, and the legal owner can still turn it off completely, to remain off the radar, via said password?

How about that?

@calfoxwc said:

rfid, what a stupid idea. Unless you want all guns at the control of

the gov.

Any hurricane, tornado, and the gov could

shut down all rfid guns in an entire area.

And, the gov would know anytime any gun was shot,

and from where.

Just another way for gun confiscation to be possible, in the long run.

Criminals will never buy them, and most law abiding citizens see throught the

ulterior motives.

and don't bother to deny the ulterior motives being out there already.

Everything looks like a scheme to take your guns away to you. You're one of those people that thinks that literally any move to try and control gun violence is an apocalyptic doomsday scenario. I just don't buy it. Do you think the joker is behind it all? Or maybe lex luthor?

The question is if these levels of safety should be mandated or left up to the individual. I'd like to see gun-safety mandated, its the only compromise that can be reached between gun-control opponents and advocates.

This 'magic handgun' will never fly in the USA. Perhaps you can issue it to the Bobbies?

@legacy-fan said:

Yes, you'd force everyone to buy the 'magic handgun' otherwise there's no point. Now, I understand that's going to rub you and others the wrong way because it feels like you're being 'punished' for the misdeeds of others, and to a degree you are. But that's the way law is made, generally, the idiocy of a few ruins the fun of the others, and the idea would be to make a device that is unobtrusive - and preferably can be easily retrofitted to existing guns.

@gftchris said:

So are we forcing everyone to buy this magic handgun (those of us that already abide by the law anyway, that is)? Or just an option for "responsible parents" (again, those of us that already keep guns locked in a safe(s), never leave a loaded gun lying around, and always practice/teach gun safety/responsibility around our children)?

What problem are you really solving here?

@the-cysko-kid said:

Does apple quit trying to build security into their hardware because a tiny percentage of users know how to jailbreak their iPhones? No. They don't.

The thought of giving up on security because a few users will get around it is absurd. The truth is most people aren't that smart.

Users have the option between Android / Apple / Windows.
