DCSaints_fan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I think there should be a law where if you own a gun you have to have insurance for any damages that gun may cause, similar to car insurance laws. It irks me that the rest of the society is left footing the bill for the fallout of what amounts to a hobby for one segment of society Another idea might be a special tax on guns, with the funds being used to payout damages. Actually I think there already is one, but it isn't nearly enough from what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I would be shocked if there were gun taxes, at all, at anything other than the local level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we tax other rights? Perhaps bring back a poll tax? 1 hour ago, PleaseBlitz said: I would be shocked if there were gun taxes, at all, at anything other than the local level. I could be wrong but I believe there is just sales tax, in addition to the price of the background check/transfer fee if required.

We can argue about comma placement and meaning if you would like. Or you could just concede that it is more than a hobby to some. You know me well enough to know I have said I would support some increased gun control so I'm not just some nut. But saying it is just a hobby is plain false.

PleaseBlitz Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Regarding the NRA's lawsuit against the State of NY and the NYDFS, say what you will about Cuomo, but this was a great response: "If the NRA goes bankrupt because of the State of New York, they'll be in my thoughts and prayers." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a marriage or child tax? Instead of a tax credit, you pay more for each kid. Sounds ridiculous because it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefacing this question by saying that I could agree with the statement but wondering if you could expand on that a little. What does "more than a hobby" mean? A way of life? A constitutional right? A means to protect oneself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if I would go so far as a way of life except for the very rural or people whose life revolves around guns (gun shop owner or gun Smith for example). The last two, yes. I just thought calling it a hobby doesn't respect the way many people view their gun rights. The level of importance rises above just the hobby level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zguy28 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It isn't a mass shooting in the traditional sense, but what the heck happened in Chicago over the weekend? This is such a sad statistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 So has anyone done a study on the lack of shootings at private schools in comparison to public? And possible reasons if there seems to be a big enough difference percentage wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
