ScubaCinci Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 That's bullshit. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not wise to piss off hardcore gun owners.Next up, arrows and knife sharpening stones. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 A 1000-round reporting limit wouldn't have stopped the Colorado shooter if it had been in effect at the time... He would have just purchased smaller amounts in more transactions. Plus, he needed less than 100 rounds to carry out the massacre.I buy my ammo in person unless it is specialty (subsonic .22 for example).Still, I don't see this passing.

MidgetTodd Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Subsonic 22 is even stocked at Walmart, why wouldn't you buy it in person? Rural Walmarts are awesome for ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 The difference is that legislators aren't telling me that it should rain Friday, a bear should eat my testicles or I should shit my pants after drinking laxative You do realize that with our current gov't, there are a vast number of bills that are introduced to placate, patronize, and pander to the citizens' "issue du jour" -- which is the CO shooting right now -- that really have no honest intention of moving forward and becoming law. Mostly because the citizens' lobby is worthless, money-wise, but politicians can say "Well we tried to do something, but [insert thousands of arguments here]" in order to grab the votes they need because their constiuents still believe their best interests are at the heart of their political figureheads.Point being.... why get worked up and angry over these bills, especially at the introduction stage, that for all intents are designed to fail? It's as much of a waste of effort to get upset about it as it was to introduce them in the first place.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 only time i bought ammo online was when i wasnt 21 yet and wanted pistol ammo....loloh, and my ccw rounds (got some double tap barnes tac xp rounds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I almost always stop at out of the way rural Walmarts on my travels when I have time to kill and buy massive amounts of ammo.

What if the dems had a majority in both houses and somehow this did manage to pass? I guess responsible legislation is too much to ask for.

Disclaimer Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 When the counterargument starts with "What if" and starts reaching into hypotheticals that have zero to slim chance of happening... it's not a very strong counter argument. Hence, not worth even concerning yourself with (*though, I'll admit is it fun to read people getting worked up over nothing, makes it easy to identify who can be easily mentally manipulated*)Which is why KK is just trolling when he posts stuff like this.

Hence, not worth even concerning yourself with (*though, I'll admit is it fun to read people getting worked up over nothing, makes it easy to identify who can be easily mentally manipulated*)One, it wasn't really a counter argument, just a hypothetical. Unlikely? Yes. Impossible? No. Second, it actually started with "But they shouldn't be introducing legislation just to placate the masses." The hypothetical followed that statement.Third, why are you so blinded by your beliefs that anyone who disagrees, has a different viewpoint or wants to entertain the possibility of our government doing something incredibly stupid is "easily mentally manipulated"? It seems to be quite the opposite. Edited July 31, 2012 by CleaveTheGreat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I wasn't talking about *you* specifically since it wasn't really a counterargument - I get it.But in the general sense, if you're having a debate about the pro/cons to something and the person you're debating with resorts to 'what if's' and hypotheticals -- they're basically conceding that their argument has no boundaries, which isn't an effective technique in debate because the other side can then resort to the same thing.I'm not "blinded by my beliefs" -- I just don't understand why the first thing people do when they read something they don't agree with is they grab their pitchforks :villagers: and raise a fuss about it, as opposed to thinking it through rationally, doing the appropriate research, and utilizing some critical thinking skills.If people get that worked up over a single headline, then in my humble opinion, they're easily swayed one way or another based on their beliefs, which is common in psychology (cognitive bias). Something, again in my humble opinion, that people should recognize and try to mitigate in themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm not trolling at all. I saw it in the headlines of Jews and decided to posy it. If it gains steam ill contact my representatives accordingly. Is that wrong? Is that trolling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no one marching on Capitol Hill. Ignoring things like this and assuming that they won't happen will eventually lead to them being implemented because people will stop caring and tune out. But that's just my humble opinion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
