When i was talking to my uncle about firearms and the rules down here he informed me if he went to a gun store or Walmart and bought in bulk it would be an immediate call to the local sheriff. I don't know why really but I like Federation live in New England and i can order any amount of ammo and be completely fine with no police visits or questions.

Bruh California you need to do a background check for ammo now, you need to have your birth certificate, license and a utility bill, like who keeps the birth certificate and utility bill on them at all times lmfao.

Edit: And you can't ship ammo to California anymore, not even to an FFL dealer, so there's that.

Yin wrote I feel that we in the US have let them get out of control. There are so many everywhere. I think semi-auto rifles need to go for the most part. Even some pistols since you can slap a hundred round drum on them. They need to be more scarce. Every gun made by a manufacturer was legally owned at some point, until the person sold them off to someone they shouldn't, they got stolen, they were mishandled, or the person with them went crazy. Access to them is just too easy, whether legally or illegally. There needs to be significantly less of them. The idea that not only are there people out there that want to kill one or multiple people, but then you have an easy accessible item that grants them the ability to kill dozens within a minute. It's absurd. You can end someone's life just by standing across the room and pulling a trigger. That is crazy.

Well my friend don't dislike guns dislike the people that misuse them.

TTG_ONLINER_69ER wrote Being an American, living in a rural area where we aren't even on most U.S maps, guns are our culture here. Family time is hunting, going to the range, going to camp or a place in the woods and just target shooting. I believe the Bill of Rights was written for a protected future. I believe any armament the police can have should be civilian accessible. All gun laws are infringements. Why should I be considered a criminal because I like something that liberal media hates? Just because I own an 'AR-15' doesn't mean i'm a threat, it means I have a tool for a specific job. You wouldn't use a hammer to cut wood. You wouldn't use a bolt action rifle on a pack of coyotes harassing livestock and destroying your property. In my mind, people who dislike guns and know NOTHING about firearms shouldn't speak. I don't go around giving my opinions on climate change because i'm not as informed and I shouldn't rely on media to tell me how to feel. People need to do their own research and stop relying on emotions. If this really is an issue of people getting killed, alcohol, tobacco, cars, and heavy machinery would already all be banned. The laws already set in place do fine on background checks, at-least here. You can't walk out with a gun the same day you buy it, and buying a pistol is a process in itself which is even more of a hassle. There is no gun show loophole, there never has been. You CAN NOT avoid a background check unless you are buying a firearm illegally or purchasing from a private party. But even then for specific ones, you still have to submit a background check before you sell your weapon to your son.

And to follow up, i believe schools should offer a gun safety class or a firearms related class, doesn't need to be required but it hurts that people are so ill informed. Does this sound crazy? My sister had to take a MANDATORY archery class for gym and she's 10. Opening day of deer hunting season is a holiday here, and you get the day off from school/work. I know elementary grade kids with more firearm knowledge than any msn anchor.

Let's get one thing straight, no school should ever allow anything to do with firearms at all. No 5-13 year old should know how to use or even hold a gun, problem isn't guns in this country is those who feel the need to bully or do something stupid to someone to the point where they give up and feel the need that killing is the answer for everything .

Mario350 wrote pointless tools only the army should own, civs shouldnt own a gun if they need protection a 9mm pistol is all you, you dont need a fking assault rifle since those are used for military rifles like a sniper ok you can hunt with that but anything military grade yeah you dont need.

again 9mm pistol is all you need and if you have kids you shouldnt own a gun at all
