More like a 14 day registration period while they take your money but don’t really check out your record. Just another tax where the only benefit goes to the politicians. It will probably help fund a bullet train to nowhere.
Summers argument is the NRA clap trap that they will ban automatic weapons, silencers, armor piercing bullets and other “comfort” items gun nuts just “must have” to feel free, American, and deadly against their neighbors. The calk gun is intended to represent how “far” the “anti-gun violence” liberals will go to take away their toys.
I am liberal on social, conservative on fiscal, issues. I’m a gun owner and CCP registered person with no fear of them seizing my firearms. I did some long rifle work in Viet Nam, I spent nearly a decade in law enforcement making some 1,200 arrests, never shooting anyone, even several armed “bad guys” when I did NOT have a gun. I’m a disabled vet and so is my son, he spent 13 years in, I “retired” after three years as my helicopter MOS would mean more trips to ‘Nam to get shot down again, or mortared and rocketed which I didn’t enjoy.
Las Vegas has proved that sensible limits on magazines (five rounds), no automatic weapons on the streets (gun clubs, locking up their toys maybe okay), strict background checks, and sever penalties for illegally having firearms based on valid laws that are CALLED FOR IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT “well-regulated” clause, as even conservative Scalia stated in DC vs Heller.
When will they ever learn? If the gun manufacturers that ARE the real NRA get their way, never. I hunt, I shoot, just not people anymore, left that behind 50 years ago, it’s time for some sanity, not continued stupidity cultivated by the NRA and gun nuts. Yes, Vegas shows what ONE nut with guns can do.
“Security” improvements won’t do, only the restriction of access will. License for driving cars or flying airplanes, the very least that should apply for devices DESIGNED TO AND INTENDED TO KILL!!!!!!
In the time it was written “well-regulated” or “well regulated” was a term that originated in sailing ships, it dealt with lines, tackle, and sails, and “well regulated” meant "properly equipped.
Any time something is a “right” it is different than a “privilege” would be— they can change the rules on what you have to do to drive, then can make it impossible for anyone except the rich and politically connected to drive, and because it is not a right, it is a privilege, they can get away with it.
At the North Bridge to Concord the Army moved to prove that gun ownership was a privilege. That the Crown could allow or deny it. There was a shot fired by a subject of the King, but an American reloaded the gun and defined the ownership of military weapons to stand against a threat or tyrant was a right.

Not a licensed at our whim privilege.
