    If you have a gun in your house that is designated for home protection and it doesn't have a flashlight... You might be a dumbass.

    You can buy a gun faster than lunch in a lot of places. I would favor a much longer wait for any firearm and ammo.

    What about a gun and a flashlight that are not attached? I usually attach a flashlight to my assault dogs before racking out. I also attach a flashlight to the light switches just in case.

I’d love to see 30 day wait limits on all gun purchases. Less than zero chance that will happen. Here in Utah it’s less than 30 minutes to buy whatever gun besides a fully auto gun. And you can even buy 100 round magazines. If you have a ccw it’s as fast the card or cash transaction takes. There’s no reason to need a gun that quickly. The overall gun problem in this country isn’t going to change without a wholesale cultural change in this country and it seems like we’re stuck in a negative feed back loop.
    yeah, i've applauded BS on the idea he put forth. The discussion has moved on from that and now he's stuck in this "is a doughnut an assault weapon if I assault you with it?" line of reasoning. I think you can see how that sort of thing serves no purpose other than to muddy the waters and gets us stuck in the negative feedback loop you've correctly identified.

    it must be attached to whatever you're attacking someone with...be it a gun or a doughnut.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    Lock your doors, get a dog, have a security system. B&E crimes are mostly opportunity crimes. Eliminate the opportunity.

    All much better options than rushing to get to the safe, open the safe, inevitably fumbling around with loading the gun because you may have training but no real world experience, firing a bunch of rounds in an adrenaline panic that wound or kill your kids because bullets are gonna fly through your drywall.

    I've got a mean ass bloodhound and a 150 lb Saint Bernard (not mean though). No one is coming in my house voluntarily.

    Amazon drivers literally run off my front porch.

    Prediction:

    Ultimately any changes we see will be knee jerk reactions by politicians, which will have little, if any, impact on these issues.

    40% of convicted murderers had used alcohol.

    If you have alcohol in your home, it's pretty much a coin flip that you are going to murder someone.

    If we are looking at preserving the population, what are we doing about

    Illegal drug use 750,000
    Cigarettes 480,000
    Medical errors 250,000
    Alcohol 95,000
    Car accidents 43,000

    Total: 1,618,000 annual deaths

    Exactly. Think of how much harder it would be for mass shooters?

    I'll take an initial stab:

    Illegal drugs...you've answered your own question there...if you can't figure it out let me know and I'll explain it to you.
    Cigs - motherfucking massively successful lawsuit against tobacco companies that paid out several hundreds of millions of dollars to the aggrieved. Additionally years long campaign to reduce their use.
    Medical errors - hey, if you want to regulate the gun industry as much as the medical profession is I'm all for it.
    Alcohol - 21 yr/old to drink, wanna do that for guns too? need an ID to buy as well.
    Car accidents - need to be 16 or older to operate in most states, need a license, need to carry insurance, need to register your car, etc. Yes, lets do that with guns too.

    You can see how the crowd starts to embolden each other.

    It's pretty fascinating to watch the middle school style crew gather to pick on the unpopular kid.

    No doubt a learned behavior from a shitty childhood or some other trauma growing up.

    Can't say the same for myself or my kids. We live a charmed life.

    Maybe we should make the drugs legal? The whole illegal/ban thing isn't working.
