You may be on to something here  Btw, anyone shot their gun at new years where you live?  Khajiit did once. 12 gauge semi-auto

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 6 2017, 09:38 PM)  QUOTE(mirocu @ Jan 6 2017, 03:11 PM)  A gun ban would not have stopped this. If someone wants to do this kind of thing they will find guns somehow. And if not; bombs, cars, trucks etc. Let's just ban everything that exists, eh?
Exactly. Banning guns is a stupid idea. That said, I'm all for lengthy background checks and wait periods. Not sure either have ever stopped a crime. A background check in the US takes 5-15 minutes. Longer background checks are pointless. Waiting periods are based on the idea that you need a cool down period when you buy a gun so you don't go shoot your boss because he made you mad. Thing is that a waiting period has never made sense to me because in three days that person will still hate his boss amd still be unstable enough to try and kill him either way. I'm just a realist.

You'll get no argument from Khajiit. Gun control laws are for the politicians and their... skittish... constituents. You and Khajiit both know that these measures won't solve any problems (and outlawing guns would create even more serious problems), but if the politicians want to pass "tighter" background checks and longer wait periods so that they can tell those who denounce firearms "Look, I did my part.", then this one says, "Meh.". In the end, Khajiit will still have his shiny new gun, just not as fast as he might otherwise.

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jan 8 2017, 09:33 PM)  Hunting brings a huge amount of money to Michigan, so long guns are really easy to buy/own here. So long as you purchase it from an FFL, you don't need a permit. You still have to go through a federal identity check though, to make sure you aren't a felon, terrorist, or crazy person.
Pistols are a lot more difficult however. That is one reason I went for the AR-15 platform, rather than a handgun. It is a lot easier to buy.
Why? Are you a crazy person?  QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ Jan 8 2017, 09:34 PM)  That's the sort of gun that makes people question themselves if they feel lucky
