Gun Regulation Survey

[VikingsGuy]

It is interesting reading the small differences. We may disagree here and there on certain details but as a whole we are all pretty close.

Except for that hand grenade/tank thing - which seems like a big point of disagreement

 

[CycleFishHunt]

0. YES, the government may limit my access to military weapons such as handgrenades, rocket launchers, tanks, Apache helicopters, etc.
1. YES, current limits on automatic weapons should remain in place?
2. DEPENDS, current persons ineligible to possess firearms should remain in place? - I imagine there are situations where this could be earned back.
3. YES, current dealer background check rules should remain in place?
4. YES, current restricted areas, such as courts and schools should remain in place?
5. YES, the current approach to background checks should be extended to cover all transfers between non-family members ("universal background checks")?

10. NO, in addition to our existing civil commitment laws, should there be additional "red flag" laws allowing for pre-adjudicated confiscation of firearms?
We have a red flag law in Colorado. I am still against it, but so far it, seemingly, is being applied conservatively. https://www.denverpost.com/2021/01/10/red-flag-law-colorado-first-year-2020-stats/
11. NO, should all firearm purchases be subject to a 7 or 14 day waiting period?

19. YES, in locations where the presence of minors is common or foreseeable, all firearms must be stored in a secure manner at all times when not immediately in one's possession?
20. NO, all new firearms should be required to incorporate "smart gun lockouts" by 2030?
21. QUALIFIED YES, the firearms industry should be civilly liable for the harm caused by the unlawful use of their products by their customers? - This should be applied reasonably as with other industries (which is probably asking a lot).
22. NO, there should be a wholesale repeal of "stand your ground" laws?
23. YES, regulation should further limit parts or modifications, such as bump stocks or 80% lowers that are primarily sold to avoid other gun control regulations?
24. YES, the right to carry a handgun on a "shall issue" basis should be universal across the 50 states?
25. YES, the open carry of semi-automatic rifles in public areas such as streets, parks and stores should be unlawful?
26. YES, suppressors should be removed from governace of the NFA and be sold like any other firearm accessory?

[Bailer]

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 the government may limit my access to military weapons such as handgrenades, rocket launchers, tanks, Apache helicopters, etc.
1. Kind of, current limits on automatic weapons should remain in place? The original NFA is good, the ban on adding new guns to the list driving prices to the absurd levels should end. Suppressors should be much easier.
2. YES current persons ineligible to possess firearms should remin in place?
3. YES current dealer background check rules should remain in place?
4. NO, current restricted areas, such as courts and schools should remain in place? Thugs don’t follow the rules. Maybe courts with adequate metal detectors and security. Schools makes no sense.
5. I’ll give in on this one when the other side quits trying to ban guns they don’t like the looks of, the current approach to background checks should be extended to cover all transfers between non-family members ("universal background checks")?
6. NO, we should have a mandatory federal gun owner's registry to further enable "universal background checks"? What does a registry have to do with whether a prospective purchaser is a felon?
7. No, even intra-family transfers should be subject to "universal background checks"?
8. Absurd, even lending weapons between friends/family at a range or while hunting should be subject to prior "universal background checks"?
9. Don’t care, if there is a delay in background check results should the current 3 day "free pass" rule be extended to 14 days?
10. Makes me uncomfortable but don’t care much, in addition to our existing civil commitment laws, should there be additional "red flag" laws allowing for pre-adjudicated confiscation of firearms?
11. NO, should all firearm purchases be subject to a 7 or 14 day waiting period?
12. NO, online sales of firearms through FFLs should be banned?
13. Hell NO, online sales of ammunition directly to the home should be banned?
14. NO, ownership of a gun should require pre-registration/permit?
15. NO, purchase of ammunition should require pre-registration/permit or background check?
16. NO, semi-auto rifles capable of accepting high capacity mags (>10) and having other functional "attributes associated with military assault rifles" should be banned?
17. NO, all large capacity (>10 round) magazines for rifles, shotguns or handguns should be banned (not including traditional rimfire tube magazines)?
18. NO unless kids under 18 without hunter safety cert in the house, all firearms must be stored in a secure manner at all times when not immediately in one's possession?
19. See above, in locations where the presence of minors is common or foreseeable, all firearms must be stored in a secure manner at all times when not immediately in one's possession?
20. NO, all new firearms should be required to incorporate "smart gun lockouts" by 2030?
21. NO, the firearms industry should be civilly liable for the harm caused by the unlawful use of their products by their customers?
22. NO, there should be a wholesale repeal of "stand your ground" laws?
23. Don’t know enough about it, regulation should further limit parts or modifications, such as bump stocks or 80% lowers that are primarily sold to avoid other gun control regulations?
24. Love the result, not comfortable with infringement of state laws, the right to carry a handgun on a "shall issue" basis should be universal across the 50 states?
25. NO, the open carry of semi-automatic rifles in public areas such as streets, parks and stores should be unlawful?
26. YES, suppressors should be removed from governace of the NFA and be sold like any other firearm accessory?
27. Don’t care, current limits on short barrelled shotguns should remain in place?
28. Don’t care, current limits on short barrelled rifles should remain in place?
29. Hunter’s safety exception?, gun ownership should be restrict below the age of 21 rather than 18?
30. NO, gun purchases should be limited to one firearm per month?

I'm not going to lie, a lot of those my real answer is "I don't care" I can see both sides, but neither makes a difference to me.

FYI - this weekend I am going to pull the answers together into some type of summary, so keep filling this out. But I don't live in Chicago so only once each please

[obviously, the summary will require some subjective judgement on my part given the non- YES/NO answers that are given at times, but given the relatively healthy number of responses it should be directionally correct]

For me they were all pretty simple black and white except #18 - I waffle on this one.

I'm with you for the most part, including going back and forth on 18. I'd extend that to 19 some as well. I'd assume the unloaded handgun in my nightstand with a box of ammo hidden in the closet wouldn't meet the standard of secure storage, but I prefer it to the gun safe in the basement. I'll have to reevaluate 19 when I have kids though.

For the sake of compiling data, you can put me down as NO for those.

"If Possible" it would also be interesting to see how different age, gender, and locations ( States ) responded . As a young female, I was raised around firearms all my life and live in two states that I would say are pro-firearms ( Texas and Alaska ) I would say it is 50/50 between other young females who would agree with my position about firearms and those who dont. I would guess that 95% of the males my age that I know would agree with my position in regards to firearms. I mention this only because we recently did something similar ( but not as through as your's--our questions were very basic ) but found a wide difference in opinions between location, gender, and age. From total control to no control . I am not selling--just sharing--and will now respond to your survey

0. yes
1. yes
2. yes

2. YES, current persons ineligible to possess firearms should remin in place?
3. YES, current dealer background check rules should remain in place?
4. YES, current restricted areas, such as courts and schools should remain in place? Regarding schools though, I think having highly trained, personable, armed SROs daily in many middle and high schools is a must.

22. NO, there should be a wholesale repeal of "stand your ground" laws?

25. NO, the open carry of semi-automatic rifles in public areas such as streets, parks and stores should be unlawful?

0-25: All NO.
26: Yes suppressors should be treated like any other accessory.
27-30: NO.

To clarify where I am coming from, I was born and raised in a country with extremely strict gun laws and have seen how that affects the people living under them. I now live in a state with some of the least intrusive gun laws in the US and have seen how that affects the people living under them. So I have lived both sides of the argument.

I agree

Gun Regulation Survey Results

As of 10am Sunday, we had 54 Hunttalkers take the 31 question survey. Thanks to all who took the time to work through a very long list of questions. At the bottom are the results. Just a few observations/assumptions before we get to the numbers If I couldn't clearly decern your answer it...

I completely missed out on this due to the work induced hiatus from anything fun and entertaining that I am currently enduring.

Very interesting VG.
