1. YES or NO, current limits on automatic weapons should remain in place?

[R.K.]

Guns ownership is an inextricable part of public land hunting (unless we go 100% bow and arrow). As such, HT has had its fair share of "gun control good/gun control bad" arguments, but rarely does anyone take the extreme position that unlimited access to all weapons is OK, or that all guns should be banned. As with most things, the devil is in the details. The following is intended to get a sense how a fairly broad-based group of outdoorsman/woman (HuntTalk) view the various questions being bantered around various legislative bodies around the country in 2021.

I am asking that you do not debate your points, criticize the positions of other, call names, use pejorative labels like commie or facist, invoke your personal belief of what the founders intended or instruct SCOTUS on the proper reading of the 2A. If at all possible just answer YES or NO. If minor clarification or caveat for your answer is needed that is fine, but please don't "argue your point". If you feel compelled to address these topics I just asked you not to address in this thread, please start you own thread.

So, here goes:

0. YES or NO, the government may limit my access to military weapons such as handgrenades, rocket launchers, tanks, Apache helicopters, etc.
1. YES or NO, current limits on automatic weapons should remain in place?
2. YES or NO, current persons ineligible to possess firearms should remin in place?

A couple of folks have asked about "smart guns". They are guns that will only fire with some verification of who is pulling the trigger. Fingerprints and RFID chips are the most commonly referenced methods. I think these are complete pipe dreams that they will reliably work as expected in my lifetime.

 

[R.K.]

0. YES or NO, the government may limit my access to military weapons such as handgrenades, rocket launchers, tanks, Apache helicopters, etc.- this is always the dumbest argument out there. if someone can financiallya fford to purchase/upkeep something like a tank or chopper, do you really think they are going to use it for violence. in fact tanks and artillery ARE legal to won and shoot. how many times ahve they been used by criminals in real life

The vehicles are federally legal to own, but they are typically demilitarized. Claymores, grenades, landmines, rocket launchers, etc- also must be demilitarized under current laws, same with ordinance on heavy vehicles. I think the feature here is the indiscriminate nature of the weapons and potential for collateral casualties. Which is the basis upon which I'm for short-barreled rifles, but against short-barreled shotguns- the level of precision just isn't quite there.

21. YES or NO, the firearms industry should be civilly liable for the harm caused by the unlawful use of their products by their customers?- are car makers held liable when somoene uses their product in a criminal act?

Exactly. Any manufacturing business should be fighting this one.

I simply believ the Govt should fear the citizenry, thats what seperates from subjects. again I doubt anyone who can afford the cost of a Rocekt launcher, hand grenades etc are the ones we would ahev to worry about using them for nefarious activities, someoen bent on nefarious activities will find a way, pipe bombs, etc

I think crimalizing the posession of a weapon based on Barrel length and other arbitrary factors is stupid. and makes no sense have you ever used a Short barreled Shotgun? at intended Distance mine throws a golf ball pattern with Buckshot and will clump slugs together. about the only thing I can do better with my short barreled rifle is Suppress it and shoot it faster.


we as a citezenry need to realize when uncle Fed tells you its good for YOU, it isnt.. and no matter the issue it should be fought vehemently

I hate to caveat so many, but I truly believe in holding someone accountable for their actions/inactions that lead to a crime, injury, or loss of life, and/or taking measures to get guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals who are in the act of dangerous felonious crimes, or have a history of committing those crimes. I am not in support of any measure that would empower a government or entity to perform any new search or seizures of firearms, accessories, or ammunition not associated with a dangerous felonious act proactively, nor that could allow for “double jeopardy” enforcement. Many times, gross negligence would cover these instances without further laws.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The right to keep and bear arms in the United States is a fundamental right protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, and by the constitutions of most U.S. states.

Answers are below but come with conditional caveats. Mainly, I can change my answer on one if another number ("higher level") was implemented. I found I can argue both sids of a lot of these pretty strongly, but they end up being tied to others.
