DId the Maine shooter have the right to bear an AR-15?

Sounds like Illinois needs better gun control.

So YOU were caught just making shit up again. :palm:

Enforcement of existing laws already on the books would help. But you refuse to do that because it is mostly Blacks being killed and white libs want that.
 
Oh, Excuse me, I thought it was the Republican House, Republican Senate and the Republican president trying to cut costs so they could justify cutting taxes for billionaires.

But you were dead wrong about that. It was sponsored by a Democrat and voted for by a Democrat House and bipartisan Senate, of which Joe Biden and Lawton Chiles were Democrats

in and both voted for it.

Westforth Sports in Gary, Indiana remains the third largest FFL supplier of crime guns into Chicago from 2013-2016. Cabela's in Hammond, Indiana has moved up to the fourth largest source dealer for crime guns over the past four years, just ahead of Shore Galleries in northern Cook County.

So? The majority are done with an AR. Both handguns and AR's need limits.

NO, they do not need more limits. There are plenty of laws already on the books. But you keep ignoring that reality.

About 97% of firearm deaths are caused by handguns. But you don't care. :palm:
 
We already label them with warnings and safety instructions.

What did we ban besides DDT? ... which was banned for environmental reasons.

Women can still buy rat poison and use it to kill their husbands. :dunno:

They banned DDT, and now there's bedbugs in America again. Derp!

:palm:

I think we need to restrict handgun access.
 
Its my understanding that he expressed a desire to commit a mass shooting. He said he was having uncontrollable feeling that were encouraging mass murder.

Is there an absolute right to bear arms?

There is a right to bear arms. There is also a right to free speech. The question here is, Did his speech prior to this shooting reach a point where it was legally sufficient that his firearms could be confiscated on the basis of that speech? I'm sure that Maine had a process in place to determine and answer that question, but with our courts being the slow, ponderous, system they are it could, and likely would, have taken months for the courts to act allowing law enforcement to confiscate his firearms if found to be necessary.

So, no Rights aren't absolute. There are limits to them. The problem is figuring out where those limits lie in cases where there are 'shades of grey' rather than straightforward black and white.

2016? ... that's ancient history.

What are number 1 and 2 sources? stolen? Cartels?

Straw gun purchases are illegal. Why will you NOT advocate for enforcing the laws already on the books?

You are myopic, focusing only the guns used in 1% of firearm deaths. Why?

with the trace of those guns, were the original buyers, who had to be Indiana citizens, charged?

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/w...ve-registered-their-newly-banned-guns-so-far/

According to Illinois State Police data, 2,415,481 gun owners call the Land o’ Lincoln home. Earlier this year, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the so-called Protect Illinois Communities Act into law which banned the most many of the most popular guns used for self-defense. Under the law, existing owners of these now verboten firearms must register their guns by January 1, 2024 or face felony charges.

Four weeks into the gun registration window, exactly 2430 of those FOID holders have registered their guns, accessories, or .50 caliber firearms. That works out to .1006%, or about one in a thousand.

What’s even more remarkable is the number of FOID holders choosing to comply has fallen with each passing week.

In other words, Illinois gun owners have declined to participate in the state’s gun ban.
