Bipartisan gun control bill signed into law

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/25/us/politics/gun-control-bill-biden.html

Fifteen Republican senators voted for it. Honestly, it's a rare moment when significant legislation is passed not just along party lines.

The new rules are inadequate, but better than nothing.

Fuck the New York Times and their need to fuck everyone over. Please copy and paste the article.

Of course, it will be challenged in court and SCOTUS will toss out parts, if not all of it, because reasons.

Unless it's reinstituting the assault weapons ban, it's not nearly enough.

An assault weapons ban wouldn't be nearly enough either.

What’s an assault weapon?

Exactly. The category is nebulous. Plus, mere handguns are responsible for most gun deaths.

So how about we ban them all, or at least force users to go through rigorous licensure processes?

Your mom.

Ur mom

This ad seems to offer a clue.

You're mom

If only our gun laws were as tough as Norway's.

damn... memories of army cadet years, right there.
if that Browning model is anything like the Canadian Arsenals version, full auto capability is actually built into the design and it's only a matter of unblocking the selector (which is why it became a "prohibited" gun here around the early 80s whereas it was previously "restricted")

don't worry, the way things are going you should be as free as Somalia in about another decade.

He knows. Either he thinks he’s being clever or he’s Dayton’s dual.

We could. If it weren’t for assholes like you.

So all we need to do is remove the pistol grip from our AR-15s? Cool. Easy enough.

Don't educate them. The less they know about firearms the better.

Removing the magazine would do more to lessen gun deaths.

I'm not sure why they call it a "pistol grip" anyway since it's clearly substituting for something else you want to be gripping.

If that's the only difference, why are you against it?

To make it not be an assault weapon, duh.

You could still assault someone with it though, right?

In theory, you could cut someone with your wit.

In practice, you'd struggle to define it as a blunt instrument.

It'd be like being hit with a stick made of that green goop they sell to kids as ectoplasm.

No, of course not. It wouldn't be an assault weapon anymore. Totally safe.

See PTRs.

Not really.

If only our gun laws were as tough as Denmark's.
