More images from Everytown:
the antis really need to read this post!
Still: Title and Tag at Each Point of Sale: Tags are not required for vehicles not being used on private lands or private collections. Titles are nice documents confirming ownership, but really unless law enforcement gets involved most people don’t really care.
Training? All good, but mandatory training does nothing if people don’t train further than that, they will simply forget their training. Further people who have trained with a skilled mentor, but not a certified trainer can often have BETTER training than the mandate, but without payment or certificates. Also I can’t even remember what was done at my driver’s ed training because it was 20 years ago…
Health Requirements? What exactly are we talking about? Yeah if you’ve been adjudicated mentally ill you can’t own a gun…tho you can still drive! This is intentionally vague.
Liability Insurance? This is a red herring. In cars it’s insurance for damages or injuries you do while otherwise lawfully operating your vehicle, they sometimes come with civil penalties, but the courts tend to handle criminal infractions. With guns there really is no infraction that isn’t criminal. Further criminals who don’t legally own guns will not have liability insurance, and certainly not on an individual gun basis because of the 5th Amendment. What the antis are going at is forcing lawful gun owners to pay for the crimes of criminals. That’s hardly the same thing.
Renewals and inspections: Well license renewals only cover driving on public roads, this is like carry permits. Still we have a right to keep and bear arms, so that’s a question the antis don’t like to acknowledge. As for inspections, well many states don’t require this, and again you only need to submit cars for inspection that are being publicly driven. Also these inspections are to determine if the car is in good working order, and safe to drive. Guns are vastly less complex than cars and simple user applied maintenance keeps them in working order. Further most guns if poorly maintained are still safe to use, they just might not effective in their functioning. Unless your guns is so severely rusted that it will be compromised by a shot (and I’ve seen some serious rust-buckets that safely fired) disrepair will simply mean your gun won’t function reliably. Apples and Oranges.
And then there’s this one that shows how out-of-touch our opponents are:
So we have what appears to be a simple hunting rifle that for whatever reason is launching an entire unfired cartridge. I don’t even know what they’re getting at. Also “Faster than a Speeding Bullet”? Yeah nobody is, are they complaining about muzzle velocity?
Yeah I don’t get it!
