I guess you haven’t been watching the health care “reform” bills where the .gov wants to decide who’s health and body is worth what? You’re an icky gun person, you life is worthless in the utopian village of amerikan apologism.

Are we still waiting for a nice “perfect” case to come along on the issues of SBR and/or pistols?

“If I take the muffler off my motorcycle, I get a ticket.
If I take the muffler off my car, I get a ticket.
If I take the muffler off my lawnmower, I get a ticket.
If I put a muffler on my .22, I get arrested.
Is my health important or isn’t it?”

I’d forget about going for suppressors for a bit and try for SBRs and pistols with detachable stocks first, suppressors are going to be too easy for the media to demagogue because people think of movies and TV and associate them with hitmen.

SBRs and stocked pistols are going to be much easier to get deregulated, you can argue that the reduced weight and smaller size can be beneficial to those with poor upper body strength, are of small or slight build or are disabled. I’m not saying abandon deregulation of suppressors, but I figure go for something that’ll be easier to get passed first. Even if you could get things deregulated to where you were just paying the $200 extra in taxes, and not dealing with the miles of red tape and registration, it’d be a marked improvement.

Mr. Mauser, I’m sincerely sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what it must be like to lose a child. In this case though, I think your efforts are entirely misdirected. You state that one of the results of the Columbine massacre is the restriction of CCW permits from 18 year olds. How would this have prevented the killings at Columbine? Are you arguing that a potential killer would get a CCW before they would carry out their heinous deed? If someone is intent on murder, I suspect that they are going to carry illegally since the ultimate crime they are going to commit is illegal as well. If you want to change things it might be more fruitful to direct your energy towards the actual criminals and push for stricter punishment for violent crimes. The people who jump through the bureaucratic hurdles to get CCW permits are not your enemy. Does it make sense that a criminal would ask for a permission slip from the government before the commission of a crime? –Respectfully
