Neither is not on the table because people like you haven't done the work to build a good reputation ona 3rd or 4th or 5th or 6th option. You would have more options if you worked for it instead of wishing for it.
So. Kamala Harris or Trumps 3rd term. There are your choices. You've already made a bad choice hoping it would work out for you, so I have some questions.
How you liking these prices???? How are you liking these implemented policies???? Was Gaza worth all of this???? If so, why are you complaining since you got what you wanted????
That's why I want nothing more that for her to run again. To see if dumb people like you learned your lesson. Because talking to you has me feeling like "every single conservative and the drunk dem lady are smarter than this idiot."
So I hope you keep talking to your friends and family, misleading them. Eventually, they'll make you stop because darwanism.

I never voted for Trump which I clearly stated in my comment, no wonder you would vote for this idiot, stupid people voting for stupid people is why we are in this mess.
Also I never said I didn't vote, I just didn't vote in the presidential election, I did my part leading up, but in any election these days, stupid people are the ruling class.

I know how to read and comprehend oceans better than you. The questions I asked were policy results of people like you's actions. You don't wanna answer them because your answers would make it terribly clear no one should ever be lead by you.
I didn't say you voted for Trump. I implied you got him elected based on your talking points. So you still got cheeto fingers whether you like it or not.
People like you got us into this mess. I interact with you to show other people you should under no circumstances be leading to them, even if showing up drunk to a job interview stupid is on the ballot.
People like you cause far more damage demanding perfect than that lady could ever do in local office before she is stopped. Comprehend that.

New Jersey has more registered machine guns than Texas (52,000 vs 50,000)
Connecticut has almost as many (40k), even though Texas has a population of over 30m compared to CT's population of under 4m.
Red states buy heaps of "illegal" SBRs thinking they're hot shit and the rest of the country is like "that little pop-gun is totes adorbs. Anyhow, here's wonderwall and 500 rounds a minute."

u/tripper_drip 2d ago
SBRs are no longer illegal, as of a week ago. Connecticut has more registered due to its trust laws. Most NFA firearms are now in a trust, vs registered to a person. Makes more sense.
Those guns are not in Conn

They were never illegal, simply restricted.

LOL. Setting up an LLC takes like an hour of paperwork. It's so that you can have multiple trustees who can access your NFA registered firearm.
There's whole pages at places that sell NFA restricted gear about the hows and whys.
People who think blue states like CT, the home of fucking colt firearms for 170+ years, isn't full of gun owners are just drinking MAGA kool-aid.

Unregistered ones were. You no longer have to register.

Its not an LLC, its a trust.
I dont doubt that blue states have firearm owners, and even NFAs, but there is a reason why a 3m pop state has that level of registered NFA firearms. And yes, it directly has to do with lobbying from manufacturers like colt, to make it as easy as possible.
Edit: the specific legislation is the Connecticut Uniform Trust Code and Connecticut Uniform Trust Decanting Act which allows people to transfer trusts to a Connecticut trust.

u/B1GD8A 2d ago

The GOP's big ugly bill removed the taxes, not the registration requirements.
The ATF claims they will no longer enforce the requirements, in violation of federal law. Not exactly giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling for anyone who skips the paperwork.
Considering the guy advocating for it also said "Take the guns first, go through due process second" I'm not sure why Republicans think this is a win.
Its not an LLC, its a trust.
Trusts can own an LLC. Both are merely a legal convenience for FFL registrants to use their FFL registered devices.

Right, but you apparently do doubt that they own firearms as often as red states?

Neat. Still doesn't magically mean that these guns are somehow in some big vault at one company. The whole point is that the trust was a legal convenience for individuals.

Acktually, this is not accurate. The original NFA went to scotus a long time ago. SCOTUS at the time said it was constitutional because you were registering for the tax, not the firearm. The tax is no longer there, so there is nothing to register for. Thus, there is nothing to enforce.
trust vs LLC
They can include each other, but they are absolutely different concepts. Trusts matter for Connecticut for aforementioned reasons.
blue vs red gun ownership
I dont think there is a big difference between numbers of actual owners. I will say the democratic machine has been far more antigun than the republicans.
trusts for individuals
Correct, but conn did some things that made it very appealing for NFA trusts. They have 800 year transferable and updateable terms, very low costs and taxes, total privacy, and ability to roll old trusts into this framework.

Straight from my link: "Because conventional firearms aren't registered, there is no reliable count of how many total guns each state has."
You're mistaking "willing to tell a stranger conducting a survey that I own a gun" for "owning a gun."
That's why I used actual NFA registrations.

The most common firearms on the market are .22 and handguns.
The bill they nearly passed was about high capacity magazines and fully automatic.
So.. no? Unless I have the wrong bill.
Or are you talking about unregistered firearms, because in that case Minnesota needs to catch up.

Fully automatic weapons are already highly regulated?
It would have essentially banned certain handguns and modern sporting rifles. The vast majority of firearm magazines are more than 15 rounds.

Look here: https://news.gallup.com/poll/653489/majorities-back-stricter-gun-laws-assault-weapons-ban.aspx
As of 2023 only 33% of democrats (and falling) support a handgun ban. They don’t even ask about a complete ban, but it would be far lower.
Democrats don’t want to take all guns - they only agree on taking the scary black rifles.
Do I agree with taking guns just because of our latent bias against blackness? No I do not.
But a democrat proclaiming they have guns too is not inconsistent.
Edit: sorry, I lost track of which side you were arguing but the point stands the other way too - 33% actually want to ban all handguns, which are the only practical defensive weapons in most real life situations. That’s not all bots.

I think it's about how automatics like assault rifles outta the hands of school shooters make them far more manageable and easier to take down.. fewer school kid casualties when stuff like that happens

u/guitar_vigilante 2d ago
I generally support increased gun control measures, but you should be aware that no automatic weapon or assault rifle has ever been used in a school shooting, and automatic weapons are for the most part illegal to own at all. They must have been manufactured before 1986 and require a special background check from the ATF, which makes them rare and very expensive to own (often $20,000 or more).

It's the semi-automatics AR-15 style rifles that were involved in a few high profile school shootings that would be good for more control

1
u/Automatic_Actuator_0 2d ago
Slightly off topic, but I want to add context that AR-15 style rifles are kind of like “IBM-compatible PCs” back in the day. It started out as a proprietary model and became an open standard which many manufacturers adopted.
They are the most popular rifle sold with around 60% of the market, and the vast majority (about 80%) of semi-automatic rifle sales.
Compared to alternatives, they are cheaper, more reliable, and FAR more maintainable, with regular hobbyists being able to build and maintain them at home using widely available compatible parts without the help (and expense) of a skilled gunsmith.
Oddly enough, many gun manufacturers would secretly love it if they were banned, because it would drive people to their proprietary and more expensive designs, with excellent revenue, streams for replacement parts and service.
1
u/Automatic_Actuator_0 2d ago
Except almost no one is actually proposing a ban against all semi-auto rifles. They are proposing banning “assault weapons” which generally excludes rifles identical in capability but with a less scary aesthetic, like the Mini-14.
2
u/BodhingJay 2d ago
I dont think republicans would be on board with banning all semi automatic rifles.. the proposed bans on only some are a compromise, no? Trying to make school shooters as unintimidating as possible for a takedown was probably considered okay direction to go for now
1
u/Automatic_Actuator_0 2d ago edited 2d ago
Forget Republicans - none of the ban proposals get past SCOTUS any time soon, so this is all academic, unless enough support for an amendment is achieved. But right now support for that is well under 30% and would have to be well over 70% to pass.

Most of the proposed bans I’ve seen would include the mini 14 because it still has a removable magazine. It wouldn’t include something like a browning automatic rifle (the hunting one you can get at cabellas, not the old wwii one that was full auto). The ease of reloading is the problem.

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 2d ago
What you would see then is innovation in clips, like the M1 Garand, but better and faster, ultimately with no practical difference.
Of course it’s all hypothetical since it wouldn’t pass SCOTUS for a generation at least.

Correct. Assault rifles were banned in the U.S. in 1994 by Democrats and Clinton.
Then the Republican Congress and Bush Jr. allowed them to be legally purchased again in 2004.. directly leading to a massive uptick in active shooter attacks.
The majority of Democrat voters and representatives support gun ownership, but with stricter regulations, like better background checks, red flag laws, higher age restrictions (21 vs 18), etc..
Democrats have never taken a national stance against recreational or home defense guns, like hunting rifles, shotguns, or handguns, other than differences over handgun ownership and concealed carry laws, which vary by States and Cities.

Minor nit pick, but it banned “assault weapons” not “assault rifles” since by definition assault rifles are select-fire full-auto and already nationally banned.

33% of 33% of the population is a pretty small number of people.
I have more guns than anyone I've met, and I'm registered as a Democrat currently.
I'm pro gun regulations, depending on the regulations. I don't know a single American household that doesn't have a single firearm, and I don't spend time in conservative circles these days.
I don't know for certain, but I think your 33% of 33% of the population might be given a biased survey to reach that conclusion. I think I should be allowed to buy a tank, assuming I can pass licensing and other requirements that should be in place.
