While disapprove of this bill, it seems somewhat minor, especially from a defense point of view.

Do you need to buy more than one gun per month?

Can see that this can be used to further erode gun rights, but in and of itself, it doesn't seem to be all that much of a threat to gun ownership.

First off, need has nothing to do with it. Second, we don’t ration the number of homes or cars, or knives you can buy do we? All this does is make it hard for law abiding people to own pistols.

The second amendment is not about need.

The gun laws we have now are a result of everyone being reasonable about enacting new gun laws. In my opionion we need to remove all existing gun laws and just let people buy what and how many guns they desire anytime they want.

Punish individuals for the crimes they commit and not for the weapons they use in commiting those crimes.

And yes, I am unreasonable when it comes to the 2nd Amendment.

It’s not a question of self defense. Respectfully, thats like saying that a law which fights drunk driving by banning more than one car per household, isn’t an issue because you can only drive one car at once.

Right on! If 1 gun per month is ok, why not 1 gun every 2 months. Then again how about 1 gun every 6 months, after all what can you do with more than one gun? Now that I think of it how about 1 gun every 12 or 24 months.

Then we'll hear, wait a second is not jus the gun, but the bullets that are killing people. How about 12 bullets/month. But that won't stop criminals, so let's go with 6 bullets/month. Then again 6 bullets every 12 months should be enough for sportsmen and citizens....

Meanwhile criminals and gang members will continue to slaughter innocence and we suffer the consequences of politicians without a brain and common sense.

You may not remember but I watched back in the late 60's/early 70's when these do-gooders decided that it wasn't unreasonable to ask that "airline passengers not smoke on short domestic flights of less than 45 minutes" or something like that? That didn't seem too bad at the time did it?

Now I believe that in some places these same ashholes have got it so it's against the law to smoke in your own house.

Bullchit on this noise. Anytime the government or one of these feel-good agencies tells you something isn't unreasonable, grab your ankles and BOHICA!

Do you need more than one hour of internet access per day?

Why should our rights be rationed? For places that don't have all the infringements like New Jersey already has, this is a backdoor registration scheme.

NEED!!? Who determines what I `need’? YOU!!!?

In 1976 South Carolina passed a `one handgun a month’ law after “Sixty Minutes” browbeat our state for `channeling’ handguns to the `streets of New York City’.

That law was repealed in 2004.

Sometimes the good guys win one.
