    yes, we should confiscate all machine guns.

    nobody should own one, other than military or SWAT teams

    and we should confiscate all illegally owned handguns and rifles

    if all hand guns required a permit, we would be MUCH safer.

    I can easily defend the position that it causes more harm than good. Can you explain how it makes you safer?

    And how do you propose we find those guns to confiscate them?

    Sure, knowing what nut in your neighborhood to avoid.
    The cops will know who to investigate for unsolved shootings.

    confiscate when we make an arrest.

    will take lots of time.

    less handguns, means less gun deaths.

    lots less

    So owning a gun makes one a nut and should also subject them to unlawful search?

    That doesn't answer the question. How would permits result in fewer handguns?

    Who said anything about unlawful? If a victim is shot with a .38 and there are 5 registered .38 owners within a mile, a judge would have no problem issuing a search warrant, if only to exclude suspects.

    Not exactly - the law had a sunset provision, and was not renewed.
    The law itself had no demonstrable effect on the crimes it was supposed to affect, for two reasons:
    1: It did nothing to reduce the number of existing firearms and magazines, and therefore had no effect on their availability
    2: It did nothing to limit people from obtaining functionally identical firearms, and therefore had no effect on their availability

    How many federal law enforcement officers are you willing to kill in an attempt to confiscate the firearms from gin owners who refuse to comply?

    Another reason we should hope Georgia sends two Republicans to the Senate. This administration is going to stomp all over the Constitution and our rights.

    Why would you object to that after the current administration stomping all over the Constitution for the past 4 years ? Oh wait, it was your guy doing the stomping. My bad.

    Less Legal Handguns for Lawabiding Citizens = More Deaths of Unarmed Law abiding citizens by Armed Criminals with Illegal Guns. Get ALL! the Illegal Guns from Felons and Illegal Aliens FIRST!, so American Citizens don't feel the need to Arm themselves in a Liberal World that is Defunding the Police and then we can talk about purchasing back my Legally Purchased Weapons at FAIR market value that are Locked up and secure in my Gun Safe, but Liberals want to go after the easy Guns FIRST! that are registered instead of hammering the Gang members and Felons that are the REAL! problem. Liberals have showed me NOTHING! about wanting to be Tough on Criminals and Prosecuting them to the FULLEST extent of the Law.

    The left said doter ID is a poll tax, if so, this is a 2nd Amendment tax that I'm sure the thugs in Chicago will eagerly cough up. While we're at it, what other rights should be taxed, the First Amendment maybe, or how about the right not to self incriminate oneself?

    China hasn't told Biden what his plans are yet.

    It's the one that was upholding it as opposed to the Obama/Biden administration just as with the election.

    You seem to be confusing criticism of one idea for support of the opposite.

    We don't issue warrants "If only to exclude suspects" (try reading the Bill of Rights). Can you imagine the uproar if a judge issued warrants for every black male that lived within a mile, "if only to exclude suspects", of course?

    Yea! What could go wrong with letting all the gun thieves know which houses have the guns? You should also post what time the owners will be out of the house and give them the security code.
