Fair points, all handcruser.  You have to admit, you're one of the more responsible dealers in your profession.  I don't have a huge data set, but the ones I do know help traffic guns south of the border because the money is so damn good.  And they do it under the protection of Texas law enforcement, they bring fentanyl on the back north.  

But I think about the fact that every single fucking  year, we have about 10-15k accidental deaths from guns due to unsecure/poorly secured/insert the proper terminology here please-will not offend me in the least GUNS.  Yet we are the most responsible gun-owning nation on Earth.  How can such a country, have the worst fucking luck every fucking goddamn year for like 50 years in a row?  

A guy who brags about selling 10 ARs to a single person is a responsible arms dealer? GTFO of here with that BS.

[YGIFS 19452]

Well, turns out he's not the dealer.  He's just following orders.  Where have I heard that before?  

(btw-the neg rep was a little harsh seeing how I thought you and I were finally getting along)

Yeah, the 10 does seem a bit much, but to be fair the purchaser had his punchcard with him, and seeing as how he bought 9 fair and square, the 10th was like free 'n stuff.  

This really is a bizarre fucking situation.  I had to pickup some painkillers for my SiL the other day after her lady surgery.  I had to show my DL and her DL to the pharmacist.  And sign like a half dozen things.  Between that and the other OTC shit, took me like half an hour and I live 1000 yards from the pharmacy.  I'm guessing I coulda had a dozen assault rifles in less time with less bullshit involved.

I just call you out when you post dumb shit. It's the risk you take when you post as much as you do. You post some really good stuff, but when you post as much as you do, you're sure to fuck up from time to time.

@Handcruser is a POS arms dealer who revels in his role arming the populace. He gives no shits about real change. He thinks it's cute and funny to troll those of us who think gun violence is a problem in this country.

[YGIFS 19452]

I think "arms dealer" is a stretch.  He's not the Lord of War over here.  He works within the system constructed around him to give stupid people access to shit they have no business near, and all at competitive prices that can't be beat.  There's a half million people just like him all around the country, no better, no worse.  

The only thing I'm left wondering is, and this is a serious question---do gun stores offer extended warranties?  I honestly don't know because the only ones I've owned were gifts or willed to me (with all proper paperwork done subsequently).  But I'm picturing that Simpsons episode with the guy selling computers to schools...
"Can I interest in you in the undercoating protection plan for $29.95?  'Cause these Armalites will rust up on you like you wouldn't believe.  Dammit Gil, just close the sale!"

Hey man, cool with me.  No judgement.  

I will, however, offer you this.  If you can audio record your next AR transaction to a gun shop (no video needed, I respect your privacy), and you say "Okay, so here's your invoice for these here Assault-Rifle 15's, or AR's if you will...just need your signature there", I'll send you a steakhouse giftcard of your choosing.  I love how they gets people more pissed off than anything else in Texas.  

But like I said, you're working within the system you've been presented.  We got bigger battles to wage.

Instead of carrying, have any of you considered "thoughts and prayers"?  It's incredibly effective.  It makes you more of a man of faith than some modern-day, non-biblical firearm.  Give it a shot.

Employment history, past addresses, about as thorough as an employer does for a new hire applicant. For those under 21, ideally character references.

I take it you don't have TSA precheck or Global Entry?

Yes. My driver's license doesn't automatically entitle me to drive a semi truck, motorcylce, or an F1 car. How stupid woulf that be?

Did you get this worked up for your driving test?

I don't know, man. There's nothing to be done here? No possible criteria to identify possible threats? None? That's what we're going with?

Why in the fuck do you even need a 30 round mag other than "Weeeeeee, this is really fun" (not that that isn't a valid reason, because I've done it and it is). More reloads = less bullets downrange and more opportunities for escape or someone to rush the shooter. How is this one even debatable?

Equating this shit sandwich if stupid ideas to TSA and a drivers license is about as aggy as it gets.  Jesus Christ, the stupid on this post is weapons grade.

Looks like another day, another mass shooting in America. This time at a notoriously soft target: a bank.

Hopefully after some thoughts and prayers, Kentucky legislators can get to work solving this problem!

Perhaps some anti-personnel mines?

[YGIFS 19452]

Doors.  It stands for Armalite.  Open Doors.  Not enough good guys with guns.  Soft target.  Not enough fathers in the home.  Antifa.  Doors.  Trans.  doors.  Somebody must have propped the back vault door open for a smoke break. I don’t know enough about caliber ballistics.  Doors.  
 

wait, a fucking bank?  JFC.  Who picks a bank for a mass shooting?  That’s literally the most hardened place other than maybe a police station.  
 

looking forward the mental gymnastics on this one.

Considering no robbery attempt is being reported.  Weird to go through all that trouble in a bank and make no effort to walk out with some cash.

Turn your gaslighting bullshit off for a second.  Nobody said anything will "stop" shootings.  None of these stupid registration/confiscation proposals will "stop" anything.  What was said, that a level of security at one location was sufficient to deter a shooting and cause a change to a school with much lax security.  

Invoking the 48hr rule in this, but remind me, bank robbers and/or disgruntled workers coming into a bank/govt building like a post office is new, right?

Considering we can’t go 48hrs without a mass shooting, kinda hard to have a conversation.

No.  That's really not what the vast majority of Americans want.  The polling on it is pretty damned clear.  HOWEVER, the continuing obstinance of the psychopath gun fetishists in not just refusing to allow reasonable gun CONTROL measures (maybe, just maybe, set up a legal mechanism where the guy who everyone fucking knew "is a school shooter, that guy's nuts, he's been talking about shooting places up for years," etc. can't procure a firearm?  Or maybe implement a safe storage law?), but is actively ROLLING BACK the ones we have (domestic violence order keeping violent spouse from possessing a gun?  VOID) is absolutely going to result in a "0 guns" outcome for all of us, eventually.

I mean, fuck, see Baba's dumbass take above "no law will stop ALL of X," which is used to support the argument of "therefore, no such laws."  Imagine that reasoning applied to.....well, literally anything else.  Dangerous driving.  Murder.  Assault.  Robbery.  Financial crime.  I mean, it is a known fact that no law can stop ALL of any of those things, so I guess all those laws are pointless, and we should repeal them, because if they don't solve the entire problem, they are just infringements on our liberties.  Right?

The gun psychopaths tell us over and over that what we need to do is "harden our facilities!"  Do a word search for "harden" on this board (maybe exclude the IPIHB forum from that search), and you'll find hundreds of mentions.  Well, a bank is one of the most hardened, secure facilities around.  They literally have armed guards, bulletproof glass, all that shit, depending on the branch.  It doesn't matter.  Very lethal weapons with a high rate of fire are functionally as easy to obtain as a Grande Frappe Latte with Extra Whip (gun shops probably have a shorter drive-thru line).  

The sane public is tired of it.  They are tired of a response of not only "we can't/won't do anything about it," but a response of "and actually, fuck you, we're going to make guns MORE ubiquitous and even EASIER for anyone to acquire."  The arrogance, unyielding approach, and flat-out contempt for ANY reasonable conversation is making "gun owners" a more and more despised group with each passing mass shooting (so, every day).  And I say that as a lifelong gun owner who would like to remain one.  If you are a gun owner, it is actually in your long-term interest to be part of the solution, instead of stubbornly insisting that there's no problem at all, and even if there is, fuck you, I won't let anyone do ANYTHING about it.

But, I know I'm shouting into the void.  And, in a generation or so, Fatty will turn out to be correct.....yet he will also only have himself and those like him to blame.

Yeah, I think that's about right. As I've made clear, I have about equal respect for the prohibitionists and the fetishists, but of the two I think the fetishists represent the far greater long-term threat to private gun ownership and use. 
FWIW, I don't think Fatty or BY are gun fetishists and I don't want to imply that they are. But for the purposes of the debate they're playing on their team, because they see the prohibitionists as the enemy (I think), and they aren't. The enemy is brutality, incivility, chaos, and senseless death.

Bingo.  And what they don't realize is that THAT enemy ("brutality, incivility, chaos, and senseless death") is going to turn regular citizens (who are not presently prohibitionists) INTO PROHIBITIONISTS.  If you wanted to put together a long-term plan to turn society into a majority "anti all gun ownership possession" society.....it would look a shitload like our current path.

And I can offer the anecdotal case of my wife and daughter -- two Texas women who grew up around firearms, enjoy shooting, and even own their own gun (my daughter).  They are REALLY close to being fucking done with this shit.  I mean, to the point where I'm anticipating some arguments with my wife in the near future about my continued possession of firearms.  Not because of my behavior, but because of the blood-soaked contempt and cruelty foisted on the majority of society by a minority political group that has absolute control of the issue.
