You're just taking my.word for it.
But for certa8in, the aft does retarded things. They said if you use an arm brace on a pistol length ar-15, it's ok. Then they said if you touch it to your shoulder like a stock, you're a felon. They may have changed again since then.

Not undercut enough. They are in many ways redundant, do not use funds efficiently or appropriately. They are in many ways an agency looking for relevancy while constantly dancing on overreach, wasting time putting forth rules defining the characteristics of tools for law abiding citizens that get overturned in courts.

Sound good too, sprinkling a facade of caring.
The goal and effect of them even if some don't think so, is to disarm the law abiding citizen.
Shouldn't be legal to use tax money for this.
Bans don't have the advertised effect either, never will.

The fact that something doesn't work has never been a deterrent to the left.
If nothing else, at least they have perseverance. That didn't help Icarus, either.

San Jose:
The killer used handguns, so proposed laws regarding rifles would have made no difference.
The killer used 15-round mags which are already illegal in CA, so current laws are meaningless.
The killer had been saying for years he was going to do this and had previously been detained by CBP upon returning to the US from the Philippines because he had books on terrorism and notes about how he hated the Transit Authority for whom he worked.
I have said many times before, we will not solve the problem unless we are willing to face the problem.
As long as we continue to blame guns, we are only perpetuating the problem. We are taking the easy way out. We are making it worse.
Lead, follow, or get the FLICK out of the way.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 05-27-2021).]

Not only has failure not been a deterrent, it is has been an incentive to continue doing the same things.
Leftists believe that any failure of government is irrefutable evidence of the need for even more government.

Although this is not the place for my comment, since the San Jose shooting was mentioned, I'll share some info.
My friend works at that location and he was standing next to another co-worker when Sam approached them both. Sam stood in front of them, pointed his finger at my friend and said "I'm not going to shoot you", pointed to the co-worker next to him and said "I'm not going to shoot you either", then pointed to the guy right behind my friend and said "I'm going to shoot him".....aimed the gun between my friend and co-workers heads and shot the guy behind them. He knew exactly who he wanted to kill that day.

Amen....to wit: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."

EXCERPT
| quote | There appeared to be plenty of red flags around Cassidy. His ex-wife said he was volatile and talked of killing his coworkers. An ex-girlfriend accused him in a 2009 court filing of “enraged” liquor-fueled mood swings, and a Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by the Wall Street Journal indicated U.S. customs officials had found him with “a black memo book filled with lots of notes about how he hates the VTA.” And in a news release Thursday afternoon, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said Cassidy “has been a highly disgruntled VTA employee for many years, which may have contributed to why he targeted VTA employees.”
But Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said it did not appear anyone had tried to invoke the red-flag law to disarm Cassidy. |
