“2) Possession is a legal concept from the drug war that implies that a person has a contraband item on or about ones person, or has control over the item, perhaps by having it in a motor vehicle or in a home.
Because both of these thingspossession and semi-automatic weaponsare easy to define, theyre easy to regulate.”
I can’t believe this buffoon actually cites the “drug war” to promote his licensing scheme (which is the worst camel nose to ever get under a tent; why would we barter away our rights in exchange for not infringing our rights?).
Earth to Idiot: the “drug war” is a comprehensive failure. The US is awash with meth, synthetic and natural marijuana, “bath salts”, etc., 116 people are DYING every day from opioid abuse, billions of dollars are sent out of the country, millions of Americans are unemployable bums due to drugs and others criminals who deal in forbidden goods, precisely because bans make them valuable. The “gun violence” in America is fueled by drug trafficking gangs, and addicts committing robbery, identity fraud, etc. to get money for dope.
Does he think that criminal gangs wouldn’t move into any niche where “banned” or restricted licensed possession creates a demand?

They already know where all the post-68 guns are.

Anyone who doesn't get a federal religion license can attend other churches that have not had a follower engage in terror attacks.
Also, if you want to write articles, or advocate, or preach for one of the religions identified as related to terror attacks, then you must also obtain a religion license.
There will be a grace period, of say 3 to 5 years where existing members of religions identified as related to terror attacks can still keep their religious books, and pray in their homes before they must obtain their religion license.
Once we see how it works for religion we can consider how it would work for the second amendment.
There must be NO laws for possessing, manufacturing, or selling firearms. None. Anything else is an attempt to take them or prevent their lawful use against tyranny.
Yep, so I presume people will be able to get a license for their kids, neighbors, babysitters, etc.
The author's ideas are beyond stupid.
First it would make ownership of my existing semi-automatic firearms illegal. Not sure they can retroactively do that without compensating me. A bit gray, but lots of folks would object.
No for the real objection......”...a thorough but reasonable vetting process, ...” I just can't envision representatives from California, New York, New Jersey, Chicago agreeing to any vetting process that would not be extreme or sandbagging things until such a time that they can change the vetting rules and require periodic re-licensing and re-vetting for a punitive cost, say a couple thousand dollars or some impossible insurance requirement.
This will never fly
What part od “shall not infringe” do they not get?
If every time they rant both sides give up something all they have to do is keep ranting till they can kill us with no risk.
It is what happens every time. No wonder they no longer teach history, communism omly wins when people are stupid enough to cut their own throats.
Here’s my big idea; No background checks. Just redefine who is a “prohibited person.”
A prohibited person is anyone who has a violent or serious conviction, including drug sales. I’m not worried Martha Stewart is gonna come gunning for me. A prohibited person meeting the above goes to fed prison 5 years for being found with a firearm.
People adjudicated mentally deficient go to prison 1 year.
People found armed and drunk or on drugs have firearm(s) impounded for 30 days
If any above are committing a crime while armed, the above will apply in addition to other charges.
How about “no”
But there are, and lots of them. That's not going to change.
Unfortunately.
Shall not be infringed!
No
F... off and die.
Second that thought. (Don’t you just love the cutsie spelling Jon instead of John)
Such a b-s article.
What part of “shall not infringe” do these rodents not understand.
That’s my thought exactly. What’s even worse is that people can 3d print either the gun or parts to assemble a gun with.
Although he is the one who sounds delusional, he’s basing his idea on the thought that we, the ones who value the Second Amendment, are actually delusional.
Of course we won’t accept anything so stupid
Given the damage fake, fraudulent and deliberately misleading Journalism does to the very fabric of our society, it time for common sense Journalism reform. Bad journalism destroys lives and careers every day in this country. It time to put a stop to it.
We need a federal Journalism license to keep the News Media out of the hands of bad actors and in the hands of responsible Journalists.
