An actual real compromise that benefits both sides, and helps to reduce a real problem.

Same here. One hidden at the entrance for this specific possibility. The government dictating MORE aspects of private life is NOT the answer.

Exactly.

I keep them in seperate places of the house for a scenario like this.

ridge, this would be a terrible idea and would lead to authorities entering homes as they please in the name of a "safety check "

the only reason i would consider a gun buyers card is im cheap . pay 10 bucks once every 2 years -vs- 10 bucks each transaction . this would also help private sales as well . if your at all worried about a potential buyer just ask if he has a card , if he/she has said card then you know they are good to go . of course this would not prevent fake cards , or those that have broken a law after they have gotten the card .

Let's consider this in the form of a scenario; shall we?

So, you're just going to pick your child up from school... Can't have your carry gun with you on school grounds so you decide to leave it at home, secured.

Your child's teacher wants to discuss an issue with you, delaying your return home for 15 minutes.

You get back home, walk inside and know something isn't right.

While you were gone someone broke into your home and now you've returned while they are still there (happens often enough in real life doesn't it?). You are standing between them and your homes exits but your firearms are "properly secured" and not available to you (at least not quickly).

What do you suppose the likely outcome of this will be? Are you willing to gamble the lives of you and your family to find out?

Actually you can take a gun onto school property, but you have to leave it in your car. You can't bring it inside.

That is why we all need one of these!

Mine are kept in a safe.......

Mine would be but I don't have any.

I don't see what problem this solves given that you can already be sued for liability if your guns are easily stolen. There's already a strong incentive to do the responsible thing and keep your guns secure.

I don't see anyone promoting the idea of locking up women to prevent rape.

[sniper7]

no, mandatory restriction could cost lives. they want to save lives, so do we. locking them up causes problems with accessibility if someone needed to get to them quick. still isn't going to stop the criminals from breaking in with their guns and shooting you while you try to get in your gun cabinet/safe.

enforce the current laws. so far it is illegal to steal a gun, to break into a home, to murder someone, for a felon to be in possession of a gun, for guns on school property in most states...etc.etc.etc.....yet all those laws don't stop these people.

your idea is to restrict more good people from defending themselves in a timely fashion. The anti's need to just come out and tell us they wish guns were never invented and because they are uncomfortable with them and don't own them, they don't think anyone else should. It is an elitist attitude best defined by Diane Feinstein with her carry permit in california, any one of those worthless fucks that are anti-gun yet employ armed security or secret service or any leader that would not lead the charge into battle. I highly doubt I will see Obamas figure stamped into a quarter while in the front of a boat leading the charge like George Washington.

Fuck the people that want to have a "discussion" about gun rights. there is nothing to discuss. any further restrictions, any further deterioration of our rights are unacceptable. We are good, law abiding people who have made the conscious decision to protect ourselves with a tool that puts us on par with most criminals.

"We all agree that the majority of gun crime comes from guns that were stolen from law abiding owners."


Where did you get this this bullshit, was it from Eric Holder's blog?

[Tinelement]

I'm not making compromises
