Who's "they"? Republicans? We need to start talking about what's breaking society down. Sensible gun laws are great, but pretending that it's going to fix what's going on is nonesense.
As a veteran and rifle hunter from the Midwest, I can honestly not think of why it is still legal to own assault type rifles or at least not have to have permits for them. They serve no purpose but to increase body count.
As someone in possession of zero firearms, could you define "assault type rifles" in the sort of specific way needed when crafting legislation? EDIT: typo
As a veteran from the Midwest as well. I can see perfectly a use for it in hunting and stop tyranny. Experienced tyranny once and will not let that happen again.

There should be a list of who in Govt. has investments in the gun industry, and they should have to declare it before and after every statement they make about gun laws.
I have seen lists showing which Congress people received money from which lobbies, at least. There are all sorts of websites claiming to give you a breakdown of where members are invested, too, but I have no idea how reliable they are.
Why stop at guns? To get true accountability, it should be a requirement to fully and publicly disclose any and all financial records to hold office. Then implement a system to limit conflict of interests. You want to vote on a gun control bill, but received contributions from a gun lobby? Sorry, no vote for you. You want to vote on a Medicare for all bill, but received donations from pharmaceutical companies? Again, no vote. In this way, everyone is accountable and no one can use their authority to enrich themselves. Lawyers can't represent two conflicting clients, why are our elected leaders held to a lower standard?

In Canada you’re required to have a license to own a gun. It’s just common sense, and the course isn’t even hard. But it sure weeds out the ones who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place.
@@alanmalcheski8882 yes. I’m a multiple gun owner. I’ve had to take a course to get a handgun, pass a background check, have people in my life talked to, to make sure I’m stable enough to own a firearm. Then for my rifles, I have to take another course, get a specific license for a long gun. Have to have them in a safe at my home. If I want to take one hunting or to the range, I have to inform the police I’m travelling with it and when I am doing so.

lol Americans are obsessed with their 2nd amendment. Interesting that no other country has such a clause except for Mexico and Guatemala. It's because average citizens have guns, and expect/need to have access to guns for an illusion of safety, that is the American problem. We do perfectly fine in Canada without them.
@@LD86 we do have guns in Canada (and quite plenty of them, we're ranked 7th for highest number of guns per capita, at around 1/4th of the rate of the USA).

I do remember the final line on the 2nd amendment says "shall not be infringed", any law or rule that limits or restricts is against the constitutional and highly illegal. And in case you dont believe me, the founding fathers made it very clear the 2nd amendment refers to guns being owned and bought by free men and women. "... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." - Thomas Jefferson, Nov. 13, 1787, letter to William S.

It is the whole people, except for a few public officials." - George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 425-426. "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms..." -Richard Henry Lee, 1788, Member of the First U.S. Senate.

This isn't even remotely true, "mass" shootings happen / have happened in almost every country. Removing guns entirely is not only an impossibility, but would likely cause more violence than just leaving them; as it leaves the average citizen dis-armed against criminals who care not for the law.
@@maximumdunk2656 No one said anything about removing guns. What people want is stricter laws and attitudes about the buying and selling of them, not to mention the use and ownership.
@Belle Anderson guess you ditched history class in school. Knifes are built with a sole purpose to kill as well. Depending on which one you get. It's a tool man. Whether they have a gun or a rock. If they have the motive to do harm, they will stop at nothing to get what they want.
This isn't a valid argument. The 2nd amendment was meant to supply minutemen, who had military grade equipment. What we need is the well regulated part that 2a thumpers forget about
@@dj.3397 That's kind of my point. They weren't confiscated so people had the choice to keep them if they wanted with a money incentive to sell them. I heard about someone in the US selling a semi-automatic at a school fair. That sort of gun gets into the wrong hands and the owners obviously don't want it. My dad kept his gun at first, until some neighborhood kids stole it for an afternoon, then he decided to send it to the buy back. I think it's something that the US could try, but I don't think it will have the impact that it had in Australia, because gun-culture is stronger there, guns are politicized, and too many people are scared. It just felt dishonest to hear people saying that they were confiscated, in Australia when I don't think that's the case. My guess is that the US needs more regulation, not a buy-back or confiscation process.
@@88happiness it was a mandatory buyback of guns that were now deemed illegal (auto and semi-auto's, some shotguns and others). Owners were breaking the law if they kept them.
I live in Australia & have several friends in the police. I hope I can help in this discussion. The 1996 strict gun laws didn't ban any guns, it changed the requirements to hold a licence to own certain types of guns (eg ar-15). Most people didn't qualify under the new rules. Thru no fault of their own they would go from legal gun owners to illegal gun owners overnight. It only seemed fair that legal gun owners be compensated for the rule changes, in effect the government bought back legally purchased guns. Not everyone complied but most did. We have had several gun amnesties since, where people can hand in guns, no questions asked, but no compensation is offered. The laws also introduced very strict and potentially expensive requirements for storage of guns and ammo. Many people were put off by this extra expense and handed over their guns rather than apply for a licence. A friend of mine stores his guns at the firing range for a small fee. My cousin who is a farmer has build his own armoury. We have just as many guns in private hands today as before the new laws, but with significantly less people holding gun licences. Any other questions?
You ever hear what "The Wild West" was actually like? The movies always said that when the bad guy came into town everyone ran for the hills. Yeah no. Everyone was armed to the teeth and knew how to respect a firearm. The "Wild West" was actually very peaceful
Exactly ! They Always complain but Never come up with solutions of their own. And even if they do; it's Never for the benefit of regular people because they've been bought by big companies.
The regulations on cars should be translated to analogous restrictions on guns. Before anybody is able to buy a gun, they should be required to get firearms training, become certified through a state licensing process, mandatory gun insurance for the potential damages that their weapons may inflict and register each and every one of their weapons with the state !
That's how it should be. As well as domestic violence preventing you from owning a weapon, depending on severity. Meaning if there was or was not physical abuse. Too many people have access to guns that shouldn't even have access to a butter knife.
The real reason the Second Amendment was ratified, and why it says “State” instead of “Country” was to preserve the slave patrol militias in the southern states, which was necessary to get Virginia’s vote. Founders Patrick Henry, George Mason and James Madison were totally clear on that… and we all should be too.
What amazes me is that, every time there is a shooting like this, some conservative will drag out their favourite line, "Yes, we need to talk about guns in this country, _but now is not the time!"_ Presumably, "the time" will be when there hasn't been such an incident for, oh, say, a year or so, and people have kind of forgotten they happen.
Yeah, it's like he's admitting that mass shootings are something that happens routinely while still denying that there's any problem with guns in the same breath. It's almost like an alcoholic who says, "Yeah, I drink a lot, but I don't have a problem. I'm in control, and I could stop anytime I want," and then just doesn't stop at all. I seriously think some people are addicted to guns, like they're an adult security blanket. They don't just want more guns; they feel like they need them, and when the guns they already own don't make them feel safe enough, they get more guns and bigger guns and have panic attacks when anyone mentions the word "control" because, deep down, they know that they're scared because they're not in control of themselves.

To get anything nea done will require a constitutional amendment. Which requires a 2/3rds majority in the Senate and half the states need to ratify it before a new amendment becomes the law of the land.

Thank you for your intelligent comment, proof that people can responsibly own a gun and still see the need for an update to our laws. Life changes, we need to change with it, there's no reason not to update to common sense gun laws. I'm sad too, and very angry. "We the People" want change to bring safety to ALL gatherings. Our Constitution gives the rights of our governance to US, no one else. The majority of Americans don't want to take away the right to own a hunting rifle or a handgun for protection, what they do want is common sense reform, that's all that it should take to make it happen. Yet elected officials won't vote for what their constituents want. Take names and vote them out.
@@imisseveryone2716 except that hunting rifles are not a good choice for protection. They're often at a much higher caliber than so called "assault weapons" which make it more dangerous to use in a defensive situation. Many 2A supporters would be in favor of universal background checks so long as the following apply: 1) No firearm registry is created so information about who owns what gun cannot be used against those people 2) Performing background checks is easily accessible to the public to make it easy to use and so people will want to use it 3) Background checks are reasonably fast so as to not cause unnecessary delay 4) Costs for checks are minimal or free so those with lower income can reasonably access it. Bans on "assault weapons" is not common sense as it's not based on data. Weapons of this group are used in a very small faction of gun homicides. Thus any ban would barely make any difference at all. Additional restrictions based on domestic violence history however it's based on data, and will do far more than a ban would. Furthermore, most fun deaths are suicides, so let's improve life in America with things like medicare for all, workers rights, etc.
@@Hole_In_HeadOpps! I meant for my comment to read: hunting rifles for hunting, and hand guns for protection. As for "assault weapons" - I have to strongly disagree, assault weapons are the weapon of choice in MOST "Mass Shootings", that's why so many people die within the first 1-3 minutes of an attack, long before help can arrive. I don't believe there is any reason for any citizen of the USA to own assault weapons, these weapons are weapons of WAR and their purpose is to take out as many of the enemy as possible, as quick as possible. We don't live in a war torn country, God Willing, we never will. But to take this full circle, if the Continental USA were to come under attack , we do have the strongest military in the world AND if there was a registry of licensed, seasoned gun owners, they could be called upon to assist and be effective against any enemy that attempts a ground assault on our Nation.
@@imisseveryone2716 ah, gotcha on hunting rifles. Handguns, while good for protection, aren't as easily used as a long arm. Some may find the recoil for handguns hard to control, and they are harder to aim accurately. Long arms of pistol or intermediate caliber have a place for home defense. While mass shootings do include so called assault weapons, they are still a small fraction of homicides with guns. By banning these, you end up impacting regular people for very little gain. There are millions of these weapons already out there in common use for legal purposes. And I would say these weapons absolutely have a place in the hands of regular people. There is no current real danger of a ground invasion of a foreign power, but we have police and government who have a history and current track record of abusing people (why were BLM protesting so much). The 2nd amendment serves as a way to help prevent those forces going so far as what's going on in Myanmar right now. In that case of there was a registry or license required to own, guess who they would try to disarm first? They would know exactly who to target (likely marginalized and disadvantaged people). While yes, we can't fight a conventional war against our military, I would argue that if it did go that far, I'd rather we be able to fight back in some way than be robbed of adequate tools.
When they can call the gun by it’s proper name, I might listen past that...certain studies show that 60% of gun violence has issues of domestic violence. Maybe address the real problem, not a tool that has a function.
Maybe we can tackle multiple issues.. when the country has mental issues we need to consider that maybe, just maybe... make sure the weapons aren't accessible to unstable people..

@@KamuiAlmighty But the second amendment wasn't about tyrannical governments, but the U.S. being able to defend itself from outside forces threatening the U.S. (aka the British) through mobilizing its citizens in form of militias as the U.S. wasn't able to afford a professional military as a newly founded independent state at the time. It had nothing to do with the threat of the US government itself turning tyrannical.
@@lulumatthewiosi179 You're wrong. The Founding Fathers disagree with you. The 2nd Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights *specifically* to deter the abuses of a tyrannical government. Of course, it does confer an additional defense against foreign enemies should they invade (Russia even admitted that a ground invasion of the U.S. would be very difficult because of this), but that is not the main reason it was written. Again, the 2nd Amendment is *first and foremost* about the people protecting themselves against a ruling class/party that seeks to strip them of their liberty. "What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787 "Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of." - James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788 "As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." - Tench Coxe, Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." - William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783

That's INSANE!
You dont need anything by money to own a car. To operate said car on public roads requires licenses etc. Similarly to carry a gun in public usually requires far more restrictions than to operate a car.
@@ricdandel1145 but you can't legally take that car on the road where it could harm someone. Police have the right to stop and seize that car, or punish you for driving unlicensed or reckless driving, but a child gets hold of their parents legally owned gun and causes harm or death and that's just an unfortunate accident. That's my point you admonish drunk drivers or reckless drivers even adjust laws to make the roads safer or the tests harder, but nobody takes the same accountability with gun ownership, every time there is a mass shooting, suicide or accident, it's always a "lone wolf" or "tragic accident" and nothing is ever done to make things safer.
It's crazy that people like you don't do a quick search online and see that most places have these regulations. Enforce the existing laws, stop restricting the rights of law abiding citizens due to those who will never and have never cared what the law says.
It was “fully automatic assault” weapons last year. This year, it’s semi-automatic weapons. For those of you who don’t know, semi-automatic means one pull of the trigger shoots one bullet.

Agreed. And I don’t think the average American wants to take away guns for home protection or target practice. What they really want is to get rid of assault rifles (cuz that’s exactly what they are) and ppl bringing a gun into stores, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. But because our laws are so lax and so easy to obtain, it just feeds into the paranoid mindset of thinking they need an AR-15 to defend themselves or carrying a gun, at all times, everywhere they go. And that’s why this vicious cycle of gun violence will continue if nothing changes.
@@coolcat6303 I didn't know this going into it but the AR in AR-15 doesn't even stand for assault rifle. It stands for ArmaLite. An assault rifle is fully automatic and a military weapon. The guns people own today shoot at a similar pace to a commonly seen TV handgun. Automatics for civilians have been banned since the 30's. An AR-15 isn't more powerful than a rifle that looks more traditionally styled for hunting. Most of the people I've met who own these have them for hunting or plinking. I've shot them a couple of times but it's very easy to hit a target with a rifle versus a handgun. [Any rifle. A longer barrel is always easier to shoot. Handguns actually require practice.] I think if the AR-style gun gets removed from the market we will simply see a transition to guns that look more "hunting" oriented but will function in much the same way.

Well...for your consideration In most of the rest of the world people own firearms In America people own weapons... Who's whole purpose is to threaten other citizens Back in my pre-internet Uni days I found a sociology study rotting away in the library stacks (So....sorry I can't cite it) Big sample across Canada and the USA "It's 3am....someone is banging on your front door and yelling"....."WHY?" In most of Canada and parts of the USA the common answer was coded "pro-social"...."a neighbor must need help...or "someone is warning me of danger" But....in some areas of the country the answer was "anti-social"...."someone is trying to harm me or steal from me" And those anti-social ideations correlated closely to high levels of interpersonal conflict and, not surprising...gun violence So...no it's not JUST about guns But in a society that is living in fear of the "other" And when that fear is constantly validated from ALL sides of the political spectrum (NRA, BLM, Proud Boys, Antifa, Dems, GOP....et al) Introducing a firearm to that situation of fear is akin to throwing gasoline on a fire And....sure you could take away the guns But that would still leave the problem unresolved You can't just put a clean white dressing over that huge festering abscess and walk away You've got to get in there and dig that putrid foul rot out And that's hard nasty, smelly, ugly work
The ACCOUNTABILITY lies at the feet of the PEOPLE who vote for the people who don't represent their views. The problem is not POLITOCIANS...it's the citizens who vote for them.
I'm not old and had my ankle go out on me more than once, I would rather do that in public than go all the way up the stairs with toilet paper hanging off my shoe or not being able to close an umbrella or have my wife push my hand away more than once and take the long way around to stay away from me.
to be fair, both are baffling... Both make you look bad as a nation, though you might be preoccupied telling the other party how shameful their behaviour is... I hope he won't trip anytime soon, he already broke his foot due to a (somewhat) disobedient dog. His gaffes don't help either. Hopefully he will be able to turn it all around, but American decline seems pretty inevitable. Trump at least had an excuse, he's been enabled throughout his life and never really stood a chance to develop beyond a frustrated 8 year old. He only became President because the left dropped the ball. Biden does not comfort me at all, in that sense.
For sure. I've tripped up stairs too many times throughout life. It's dumb and no biggy until generations of Americans (including me) have been complaining that our elected officials are TOO OLD. It sounds ageist, but the message is clear that power is being held for power's sake. There is a much larger pool of good public servants to choose from when you eliminate the boomers from the list.
The problem might be poor design of the carpeting or matting used on the steps. In poor lighting a monochromatic stairs cannot give the visual cues that specify where the foot needs to be placed for completely secure footing. If the matting is wet or has been recently wiped, the surface may be shiny and create a form of visual melting of the otherwise observable demarcations of the step edges. This is a frequent cause of a misstep on stairs going upward. President Biden emerged rather sprightly and managed the rest of the stairs just fine. He isn't the first public servant to misstep in public and he won't be the last. An ergonomic evaluation for some safety changes is advised.

Congrats you've hit the nail on the real problem... guns have been equated with being tough and a man in this country... they are a tool and an extraordinary effective one... they are also a blast to just go shoot. Point is, gun control is treating a symptom (which can really help if done effectively) but isn't solving the underlying condition. If we could take away all the guns today then there remains one question, "why do kids want to kill other kids" until that is answered and treated there will always be mass killings... the tool to accomplish them just might change.
There are some of us who love our guns but understand that they're dangerous and need to be controlled. Most of us are willing to deal with a little extra hassle in exchange for being part of the solution, but we're not loud enough
@@cwolf208 yep it is an extremely effective tool that is easy to abuse and treating the symptoms can be an effective short term solution... like pain killers on a sprained ankle... they might make it so you can keep running but eventually you'll realize maybe solving the real problem might have been the better solution to start with. And just like with drugs and alcohol... making something illegal isn't exactly a fool proof solution... in fact in can create entire economies that the government doesn't get to collect taxes on
@@cwolf208 that is true. But at one time in history killing a person with a hammer was considered easy as well. Human nature will never change.

Besides just restricting automatic weapons, gun venders just need more paper trails. If buying and owning a gun was like a vehicle where you needed a title and registration then the current registered owner would be ultimately responsible for anything that happens with that gun.
“We have alot of drunk drivers in America “... We also have seatbelts, airbags, car insurance, driver’s licenses.. It’s probably not a good idea to strawman gun regulation with another subject that society has proven to be better/safer with more regulations.

Cool. We need to progress beyond what a bunch of slave-owners thought 200 years ago, and as they created an amendment process, they'd agree. The "well-regulated" part has been ignored too, I doubt the founders envisioned 30 round rifles sold in almost every city.
@@alexd9550 Your statement is so dismissive that there's just really nowhere to begin. They owned slaves so what they said is irrelevant - and they'd agree with you. "'Well-regulated' part" has been ignored as well. You doubt, maybe, that the Founders would be okay with the wide-spread availability of 30 round rifles. Would that include the places with the worst gun-violence? Seems like the most-dangerous places, the places where you'd really like to have firearm access - is precisely the place that it's forbidden to you. Given that technology has moved ahead since then, what do you suppose they would like to be available to the citizenry? Given that one of the reasons that they were fans of an armed citizenry was its deterrence on despotic government I suspect that they'd welcome 30-rounds and wonder if it couldn't be more? I dunno, do you think about this stuff?
Fun fact, Canada did get it's name because we love Ginger ale. Back in 1534 when Jacque Cartier landed in Quebec, he was gifted a 6 pack of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Liked it so much it became the name of the nation.
Fun fact, Canada most likely got its name from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.” In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanaka; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of present-day City of Québec.

I KNEW IT! The minute I saw a picture of Biden falling down the stairs, I said "They're going to show that clip for the next 4 years anytime they're trying to distract from Trump or mass shootings or climate change."
Whst are you talking about? The fact that biden is in significant cognitive decline is obvious. This administration, and the socialists who dominate congress will violate our freedom of speech, our right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves, our property rights,ect,,
From Mr. Michael J. williamson: I keep hearing people say they want to regulate guns the way we regulate cars. They don't really mean that, of course. What they mean is they want to make it acceptable to find more ways to intrude on the right to keep and bear arms. I propose instead, we regulate cars the way we regulate guns. Let's start: To buy or operate a standard car, one will have to be 18 years old. Under that age, adult supervision will be mandatory. This means the adult must be in the vehicle with the underage driver. To buy a sports car, you will have to be 21. A "Sports car" will be defined as any combination of any two of the following: 2 doors instead of 4, spoked rims not requiring hubcaps, aerodynamic effects such as spoilers or air dams, a wheelbase under 100 inches, a manual transmission, a curb weight under 3000 lbs, fiberglass or other non-metal construction, or painted logos. For every purchase, you will have to fill out a questionnaire confirming you're a US citizen, do not use drugs or abuse alcohol, have never had a conviction for alcohol related incidents or reckless driving. Lying on this form will be punishable by 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. New cars will only be purchased from Federal Automobile Licensees who must provide fingerprints, proof of character, secure storage for all vehicles, and who must call the Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles to verify your information before purchase. They may approve or decline or delay the sale. If they decline, you may appeal the decision in writing to a review board. If they delay, it becomes an approval automatically after 10 days. However, the dealer may decline to complete such a sale in case of later problems. Additionally, the purchase of more than two cars in a given year will require signing an understanding that buying cars in order to resell them without a license is a crime. There is an 11% federal excise tax on all new vehicles, plus any state or local tax. Federal Automobile Licensees must agree to submit to 24/7/365, unannounced, unscheduled searches of their entire homes, businesses and any relates properties and personal effects to be named later. Then you will be eligible to take your drivers' license test to determine your eligibility to operate on the street. Rules will vary by state, with some states requiring proof of need to own a vehicle for business purposes, and up to 40 hours of professional education. Also, not all states will accept all licenses. You will need to keep track of this information. Additionally, speed limits will not be posted. It is your responsibility to research the driving laws in each area you wish to travel through. Some communities may not allow out of state vehicles, sports cars, or even any vehicles at all. Violation of these laws will result in confiscation and destruction of your vehicle by crushing. To have a turbocharger, supercharger (External Engine Compression Devices) or a muffler will require an application to the Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A $2000 tax stamp will be required for these High Performance Vehicles. Your request must also be signed by the local chief law enforcement officer, and you must provide fingerprints. If approved in 10-16 weeks, you will be responsible for keeping your High Performance Vehicle in secure storage, and request permission in writing to take it out of state. You will need to carry this documentation with you. There are 13 states that do not allow possession of High Performance Vehicles. Be sure you are aware of those laws before planning your trips. (But really, what do you need such a vehicle for anyway? Who really needs to drive that fast? You must willingly accept and adhere to the socially accepted idea that you are inherently evil for merely possessing such a fast, high powered automobile.) Additionally, superchargers and turbochargers must be manufactured before June 1, 1986. They may be sold and refitted by a FAL who also has a Special Occupational Tax license authorizing him to work on these. New superchargers, however, are a violation of federal law, except for use by the police or military, or specific government contractors. Expect to pay $15-$30,000 each for these items. Mufflers will only cost from $250-$1000, plus the $2000 stamp. However, once the muffler is damaged, it must be disposed of by cutting it into three pieces. Failure to do this may result in your family going through the next decade only knowing you in a prison jumpsuit and all your bank accounts seized and never replenished. Imported sports cars will be prohibited. You may purchase other items from foreign manufacturers, but your automobile is in a special class of prohibition due to its inherently evil and sinister nature. The frames may be imported, cut into three pieces, and reassembled with US made engines and suspensions, as long as 60% of the parts are American. Shortly, though, the Transmission Loophole will be closed. The purpose of allowing imports is for spare parts, not to build more destructive "race vehicles.” Transmissions will have to be US made. Repairs may only be conducted by a licensed FAL, who will send a truck to retrieve your vehicle. It must be a flatbed type truck, winch/dolly trucks are not allowed, under 10/$10,000 penalty. You may work on your own vehicle, but any repair that exceeds emission or performance standards will be subject to federal criminal charges. And violation of this reasonable regulation could result in not only your imprisonment and the confiscation of your assets but imprisonment of any employee or family member who was insane enough to repair your “race car” for you. Be aware that an existing HPV may have multiple HP Features. A new HPV will require a license for each feature you wish to add to it-one each for muffler or external engine compression device. And you must request and receive, in writing, permission from the federal, state and local governing authorities prior to making such modifications. Converting a standard car to a sports car will require payment of a $2000 tax, even if no HP features are added. However, if an FAL/SOT does the conversion on a new frame before the vehicle leaves their premises, it will only be a $50 tax. You will need to carry this documentation in the glove box at all times, the mere failure of which alone can result in an arrest and possible conviction. There is discussion of closing the Car Dealer Loophole, through which private individuals sell cars to friends without going through an FAL. It is important we have these background checks. Surveys show criminals prefer to buy unlicensed to get around their legal liabilities so they can commit crimes in stolen vehicles, which evidence has proven for many years to be true. There is also discussion of prohibiting brightly colored vehicles. Vehicles are transportation, not toys, and should not be marketed in a way that suggests they are intended for casual use. It is important that everyone be aware of the dangerous nature of cars. In the future, we may have to consider large displacement engines (anything over 2.5 liters) and transmissions with more than three speeds as being High Performance Items to be added to the federal registry. There will be a window during which you can register your items for $2000 each, provided you meet the background check. Otherwise, you will have to immediately surrender them to an FAL/SOT to dispose of on your behalf. Operating an unlicensed HPV after this date will result in confiscation and destruction of the vehicle, and the 10/$10,000 punishment. These laws and regulations are due to drunk drivers, reckless drivers and other criminals. The automobile community should be glad it is allowed to exist at all, given all the deaths and environmental damage caused by these vehicles. The president said today that he strongly supports your right to own and drive basic, standard vehicles for farm use and carpooling. But he and many other people have made it clear that eventually - maybe this month - we need to cease all manufacturing of such high powered automobiles for the civilian market. Eventually, we need to move away from the notion that owning and operating a vehicle is a right and entitlement, and limit it to people with a proven, bona fide professional need. There are plenty of trains and buses for normal people. This is how most civilized nations are moving and is not a violation of your right to travel.

Mostly because they were saying that they thought you wanted to hear. The "gun show loophole" is a myth. If you buy a gun at a gunshow, you have to fill out a 4477 and the dealer has to call the FBI just like everyone else. More than once during the Clinton years, the FBI's "system was down" conveniently when big gun shows were going on, and they couldn't sell a single gun.

"... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

My memory is that Australia didn't confiscate guns, we did a buy-back. Money for guns.
But what if I don't want to sell mine.???? Just cuz you did doesn't mean everybody else wants to. Just saying.
@@dj.3397 That's kind of my point. They weren't confiscated so people had the choice to keep them if they wanted with a money incentive to sell them. I heard about someone in the US selling a semi-automatic at a school fair. That sort of gun gets into the wrong hands and the owners obviously don't want it. My dad kept his gun at first, until some neighborhood kids stole it for an afternoon, then he decided to send it to the buy back. I think it's something that the US could try, but I don't think it will have the impact that it had in Australia, because gun-culture is stronger there, guns are politicized, and too many people are scared. It just felt dishonest to hear people saying that they were confiscated, in Australia when I don't think that's the case. My guess is that the US needs more regulation, not a buy-back or confiscation process.
@@88happiness it was a mandatory buyback of guns that were now deemed illegal (auto and semi-auto's, some shotguns and others). Owners were breaking the law if they kept them.
@@herpaderpa2733 Thanks for clarifying that. I was still a kid, but I didn't remember it as a confiscation.
I live in Australia & have several friends in the police. I hope I can help in this discussion.
The 1996 strict gun laws didn't ban any guns, it changed the requirements to hold a licence to own certain types of guns (eg ar-15). Most people didn't qualify under the new rules. Thru no fault of their own they would go from legal gun owners to illegal gun owners overnight. It only seemed fair that legal gun owners be compensated for the rule changes, in effect the government bought back legally purchased guns. Not everyone complied but most did. We have had several gun amnesties since, where people can hand in guns, no questions asked, but no compensation is offered.
The laws also introduced very strict and potentially expensive requirements for storage of guns and ammo. Many people were put off by this extra expense and handed over their guns rather than apply for a licence. A friend of mine stores his guns at the firing range for a small fee. My cousin who is a farmer has build his own armoury.
We have just as many guns in private hands today as before the new laws, but with significantly less people holding gun licences.
Any other questions?

Exactly ! They Always complain but Never come up with solutions of their own. And even if they do; it's Never for the benefit of regular people because they've been bought by big companies.
The regulations on cars should be translated to analogous restrictions on guns. Before anybody is able to buy a gun, they should be required to get firearms training, become certified through a state licensing process, mandatory gun insurance for the potential damages that their weapons may inflict and register each and every one of their weapons with the state !

That's how it should be. As well as domestic violence preventing you from owning a weapon, depending on severity. Meaning if there was or was not physical abuse. Too many people have access to guns that shouldn't even have access to a butter knife.
And of course background checks, ID, signature verification, and poll taxes for voting.
The real reason the Second Amendment was ratified, and why it says “State” instead of “Country” was to preserve the slave patrol militias in the southern states, which was necessary to get Virginia’s vote.

What amazes me is that, every time there is a shooting like this, some conservative will drag out their favourite line, "Yes, we need to talk about guns in this country, _but now is not the time!"_ Presumably, "the time" will be when there hasn't been such an incident for, oh, say, a year or so, and people have kind of forgotten they happen.
Don’t you love how casually Cruz throws out “everytime there is a mass shooting”. Is that how commonplace he finds these shootings to be?
No. It makes me very sad
Well, these shootings ARE commonplace.
Yeah, it's like he's admitting that mass shootings are something that happens routinely while still denying that there's any problem with guns in the same breath. It's almost like an alcoholic who says, "Yeah, I drink a lot, but I don't have a problem. I'm in control, and I could stop anytime I want," and then just doesn't stop at all. I seriously think some people are addicted to guns, like they're an adult security blanket. They don't just want more guns; they feel like they need them, and when the guns they already own don't make them feel safe enough, they get more guns and bigger guns and have panic attacks when anyone mentions the word "control" because, deep down, they know that they're scared because they're not in control of themselves.

Thank you for your intelligent comment, proof that people can responsibly own a gun and still see the need for an update to our laws. Life changes, we need to change with it, there's no reason not to update to common sense gun laws. I'm sad too, and very angry. "We the People" want change to bring safety to ALL gatherings. Our Constitution gives the rights of our governance to US, no one else. The majority of Americans don't want to take away the right to own a hunting rifle or a handgun for protection, what they do want is common sense reform, that's all that it should take to make it happen. Yet elected officials won't vote for what their constituents want. Take names and vote them out.
@@imisseveryone2716 except that hunting rifles are not a good choice for protection. They're often at a much higher caliber than so called "assault weapons" which make it more dangerous to use in a defensive situation.
Many 2A supporters would be in favor of universal background checks so long as the following apply:
1) No firearm registry is created so information about who owns what gun cannot be used against those people
2) Performing background checks is easily accessible to the public to make it easy to use and so people will want to use it
3) Background checks are reasonably fast so as to not cause unnecessary delay
4) Costs for checks are minimal or free so those with lower income can reasonably access it.
Bans on "assault weapons" is not common sense as it's not based on data. Weapons of this group are used in a very small faction of gun homicides. Thus any ban would barely make any difference at all.
Additional restrictions based on domestic violence history however it's based on data, and will do far more than a ban would. Furthermore, most fun deaths are suicides, so let's improve life in America with things like medicare for all, workers rights, etc.
@@Hole_In_HeadOpps! I meant for my comment to read: hunting rifles for hunting, and hand guns for protection. As for "assault weapons" - I have to strongly disagree, assault weapons are the weapon of choice in MOST "Mass Shootings", that's why so many people die within the first 1-3 minutes of an attack, long before help can arrive. I don't believe there is any reason for any citizen of the USA to own assault weapons, these weapons are weapons of WAR and their purpose is to take out as many of the enemy as possible, as quick as possible. We don't live in a war torn country, God Willing, we never will. But to take this full circle, if the Continental USA were to come under attack , we do have the strongest military in the world AND if there was a registry of licensed, seasoned gun owners, they could be called upon to assist and be effective against any enemy that attempts a ground assault on our Nation.
@@imisseveryone2716 ah, gotcha on hunting rifles.
Handguns, while good for protection, aren't as easily used as a long arm. Some may find the recoil for handguns hard to control, and they are harder to aim accurately. Long arms of pistol or intermediate caliber have a place for home defense.
While mass shootings do include so called assault weapons, they are still a small fraction of homicides with guns. By banning these, you end up impacting regular people for very little gain. There are millions of these weapons already out there in common use for legal purposes.
And I would say these weapons absolutely have a place in the hands of regular people. There is no current real danger of a ground invasion of a foreign power, but we have police and government who have a history and current track record of abusing people (why were BLM protesting so much). The 2nd amendment serves as a way to help prevent those forces going so far as what's going on in Myanmar right now.
In that case of there was a registry or license required to own, guess who they would try to disarm first? They would know exactly who to target (likely marginalized and disadvantaged people).
While yes, we can't fight a conventional war against our military, I would argue that if it did go that far, I'd rather we be able to fight back in some way than be robbed of adequate tools.
I have collected guns for over 20 years, cant say i look at them the same way anymore.
When they can call the gun by it’s proper name, I might listen past that...certain studies show that 60% of gun violence has issues of domestic violence. Maybe address the real problem, not a tool that has a function.
Maybe we can tackle multiple issues.. when the country has mental issues we need to consider that maybe, just maybe... make sure the weapons aren't accessible to unstable people..

And where is the National Guard based and who runs it ????
So you're saying the 2nd Amendment written in 1789 refers to the National Guard, established in 1903?
“The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
The Founders understood that the PEOPLE *are* the militia. When a tyrannical government arises, the National Guard won’t save you. Because the National Guard *is* the government.
@@KamuiAlmighty But the second amendment wasn't about tyrannical governments, but the U.S. being able to defend itself from outside forces threatening the U.S. (aka the British) through mobilizing its citizens in form of militias as the U.S. wasn't able to afford a professional military as a newly founded independent state at the time. It had nothing to do with the threat of the US government itself turning tyrannical.
@@lulumatthewiosi179 You're wrong. The Founding Fathers disagree with you. The 2nd Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights *specifically* to deter the abuses of a tyrannical government. Of course, it does confer an additional defense against foreign enemies should they invade (Russia even admitted that a ground invasion of the U.S. would be very difficult because of this), but that is not the main reason it was written. Again, the 2nd Amendment is *first and foremost* about the people protecting themselves against a ruling class/party that seeks to strip them of their liberty.
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."

"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788
"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."

That's INSANE!

You dont need anything by money to own a car. To operate said car on public roads requires licenses etc. Similarly to carry a gun in public usually requires far more restrictions than to operate a car.

That's my point you admonish drunk drivers or reckless drivers even adjust laws to make the roads safer or the tests harder, but nobody takes the same accountability with gun ownership, every time there is a mass shooting, suicide or accident, it's always a "lone wolf" or "tragic accident" and nothing is ever done to make things safer.

And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

The Greenland thing is funny because he is literally as wrong as possible. It was named Greenland explicitly because it was/is not green. It was the Viking version of false advertising. (Named such to attract settlers)
Interesting fact, thanks.

I got nervous when Trump got elected and bought my first handgun. I got it the same day. I took many classes that were NOT required of me. I got my concealed carry permit- but my state does NOT require any classes for it and I paid a one time fee for a lifetime permit. I love going to the gun range to shoot paper. I met so many people doing this who were FAR outside my normal social group. Most of them just want to be able to protect themselves if someone breaks into their house.
But it's scary a first time gun owner can receive their gun in a few minutes. Mental Healthcare is not an issue taken seriously enough. We have yearly physicals, mammograms, colonoscopys but there is no insurance coverage for mental health. :(
Agreed. And I don’t think the average American wants to take away guns for home protection or target practice. What they really want is to get rid of assault rifles (cuz that’s exactly what they are) and ppl bringing a gun into stores, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. But because our laws are so lax and so easy to obtain, it just feeds into the paranoid mindset of thinking they need an AR-15 to defend themselves or carrying a gun, at all times, everywhere they go. And that’s why this vicious cycle of gun violence will continue if nothing changes.
@@coolcat6303 I didn't know this going into it but the AR in AR-15 doesn't even stand for assault rifle. It stands for ArmaLite. An assault rifle is fully automatic and a military weapon. The guns people own today shoot at a similar pace to a commonly seen TV handgun. Automatics for civilians have been banned since the 30's. An AR-15 isn't more powerful than a rifle that looks more traditionally styled for hunting.
Most of the people I've met who own these have them for hunting or plinking. I've shot them a couple of times but it's very easy to hit a target with a rifle versus a handgun. [Any rifle. A longer barrel is always easier to shoot. Handguns actually require practice.] I think if the AR-style gun gets removed from the market we will simply see a transition to guns that look more "hunting" oriented but will function in much the same way.

Back in my pre-internet Uni days I found a sociology study rotting away in the library stacks
(So....sorry I can't cite it)
Big sample across Canada and the USA
"It's 3am....someone is banging on your front door and yelling"....."WHY?"
In most of Canada and parts of the USA the common answer was coded "pro-social"...."a neighbor must need help...or "someone is warning me of danger"
But....in some areas of the country the answer was "anti-social"...."someone is trying to harm me or steal from me"
And those anti-social ideations correlated closely to high levels of interpersonal conflict and, not surprising...gun violence
So...no it's not JUST about guns
But in a society that is living in fear of the "other"
And when that fear is constantly validated from ALL sides of the political spectrum
(NRA, BLM, Proud Boys, Antifa, Dems, GOP....et al)
Introducing a firearm to that situation of fear is akin to throwing gasoline on a fire
And....sure you could take away the guns
But that would still leave the problem unresolved
You can't just put a clean white dressing over that huge festering abscess and walk away
You've got to get in there and dig that putrid foul rot out
And that's hard nasty, smelly, ugly work
I always enjoy hearing John Kennedy talk about the sanctity of gun ownership, seeing as he doesn't get the unfortunate irony of his name.

The ACCOUNTABILITY lies at the feet of the PEOPLE who vote for the people who don't represent their views.

I'm not old and had my ankle go out on me more than once, I would rather do that in public than go all the way up the stairs with toilet paper hanging off my shoe or not being able to close an umbrella or have my wife push my hand away more than once and take the long way around to stay away from me.
It was nearly as funny as.
to be fair, both are baffling... Both make you look bad as a nation, though you might be preoccupied telling the other party how shameful their behaviour is... I hope he won't trip anytime soon, he already broke his foot due to a (somewhat) disobedient dog. His gaffes don't help either. Hopefully he will be able to turn it all around, but American decline seems pretty inevitable.
Trump at least had an excuse, he's been enabled throughout his life and never really stood a chance to develop beyond a frustrated 8 year old. He only became President because the left dropped the ball. Biden does not comfort me at all, in that sense.
For sure. I've tripped up stairs too many times throughout life. It's dumb and no biggy until generations of Americans (including me) have been complaining that our elected officials are TOO OLD.
It sounds ageist, but the message is clear that power is being held for power's sake. There is a much larger pool of good public servants to choose from when you eliminate the boomers from the list.
The problem might be poor design of the carpeting or matting used on the steps. In poor lighting a monochromatic stairs cannot give the visual cues that specify where the foot needs to be placed for completely secure footing. If the matting is wet or has been recently wiped, the surface may be shiny and create a form of visual melting of the otherwise observable demarcations of the step edges. This is a frequent cause of a misstep on stairs going upward. President Biden emerged rather sprightly and managed the rest of the stairs just fine. He isn't the first public servant to misstep in public and he won't be the last. An ergonomic evaluation for some safety changes is advised.

Congrats you've hit the nail on the real problem... guns have been equated with being tough and a man in this country... they are a tool and an extraordinary effective one... they are also a blast to just go shoot. Point is, gun control is treating a symptom (which can really help if done effectively) but isn't solving the underlying condition. If we could take away all the guns today then there remains one question, "why do kids want to kill other kids" until that is answered and treated there will always be mass killings... the tool to accomplish them just might change.
@@benjamindbarr Do you accept that guns make it a lot easier for untrained people to kill other people, and to do it much faster?

@@cwolf208 yep it is an extremely effective tool that is easy to abuse and treating the symptoms can be an effective short term solution... like pain killers on a sprained ankle... they might make it so you can keep running but eventually you'll realize maybe solving the real problem might have been the better solution to start with. And just like with drugs and alcohol... making something illegal isn't exactly a fool proof solution... in fact in can create entire economies that the government doesn't get to collect taxes on
@@cwolf208 that is true. But at one time in history killing a person with a hammer was considered easy as well. Human nature will never change.

Cool. We need to progress beyond what a bunch of slave-owners thought 200 years ago, and as they created an amendment process, they'd agree. The "well-regulated" part has been ignored too, I doubt the founders envisioned 30 round rifles sold in almost every city.
@@alexd9550 Your statement is so dismissive that there's just really nowhere to begin. They owned slaves so what they said is irrelevant - and they'd agree with you. "'Well-regulated' part" has been ignored as well. You doubt, maybe, that the Founders would be okay with the wide-spread availability of 30 round rifles. Would that include the places with the worst gun-violence? Seems like the most-dangerous places, the places where you'd really like to have firearm access - is precisely the place that it's forbidden to you. Given that technology has moved ahead since then, what do you suppose they would like to be available to the citizenry? Given that one of the reasons that they were fans of an armed citizenry was its deterrence on despotic government I suspect that they'd welcome 30-rounds and wonder if it couldn't be more? I dunno, do you think about this stuff?
Fun fact, Canada did get it's name because we love Ginger ale. Back in 1534 when Jacque Cartier landed in Quebec, he was gifted a 6 pack of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Liked it so much it became the name of the nation.

Canada Dry existed at that time? Coca Cola is only 100 years old
Fun fact, Canada most likely got its name from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.” In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanaka; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of present-day City of Québec.

Whst are you talking about? The fact that biden is in significant cognitive decline is obvious. This administration, and the socialists who dominate congress will violate our freedom of speech, our right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves, our property rights,ect,,
A big flaw in the drunk driver argument is that nobody blames the car.
From Mr. Michael J. williamson:
I keep hearing people say they want to regulate guns the way we regulate cars. They don't really mean that, of course. What they mean is they want to make it acceptable to find more ways to intrude on the right to keep and bear arms.
I propose instead, we regulate cars the way we regulate guns. Let's start:
To buy or operate a standard car, one will have to be 18 years old. Under that age, adult supervision will be mandatory. This means the adult must be in the vehicle with the underage driver.
To buy a sports car, you will have to be 21. A "Sports car" will be defined as any combination of any two of the following: 2 doors instead of 4, spoked rims not requiring hubcaps, aerodynamic effects such as spoilers or air dams, a wheelbase under 100 inches, a manual transmission, a curb weight under 3000 lbs, fiberglass or other non-metal construction, or painted logos.
For every purchase, you will have to fill out a questionnaire confirming you're a US citizen, do not use drugs or abuse alcohol, have never had a conviction for alcohol related incidents or reckless driving. Lying on this form will be punishable by 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
New cars will only be purchased from Federal Automobile Licensees who must provide fingerprints, proof of character, secure storage for all vehicles, and who must call the Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles to verify your information before purchase. They may approve or decline or delay the sale. If they decline, you may appeal the decision in writing to a review board. If they delay, it becomes an approval automatically after 10 days. However, the dealer may decline to complete such a sale in case of later problems.
Additionally, the purchase of more than two cars in a given year will require signing an understanding that buying cars in order to resell them without a license is a crime. There is an 11% federal excise tax on all new vehicles, plus any state or local tax.
Federal Automobile Licensees must agree to submit to 24/7/365, unannounced, unscheduled searches of their entire homes, businesses and any relates properties and personal effects to be named later.
Then you will be eligible to take your drivers' license test to determine your eligibility to operate on the street. Rules will vary by state, with some states requiring proof of need to own a vehicle for business purposes, and up to 40 hours of professional education. Also, not all states will accept all licenses. You will need to keep track of this information. Additionally, speed limits will not be posted. It is your responsibility to research the driving laws in each area you wish to travel through. Some communities may not allow out of state vehicles, sports cars, or even any vehicles at all. Violation of these laws will result in confiscation and destruction of your vehicle by crushing.
To have a turbocharger, supercharger (External Engine Compression Devices) or a muffler will require an application to the Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A $2000 tax stamp will be required for these High Performance Vehicles. Your request must also be signed by the local chief law enforcement officer, and you must provide fingerprints. If approved in 10-16 weeks, you will be responsible for keeping your High Performance Vehicle in secure storage, and request permission in writing to take it out of state. You will need to carry this documentation with you. There are 13 states that do not allow possession of High Performance Vehicles. Be sure you are aware of those laws before planning your trips. (But really, what do you need such a vehicle for anyway? Who really needs to drive that fast? You must willingly accept and adhere to the socially accepted idea that you are inherently evil for merely possessing such a fast, high powered automobile.)
Additionally, superchargers and turbochargers must be manufactured before June 1, 1986. They may be sold and refitted by a FAL who also has a Special Occupational Tax license authorizing him to work on these. New superchargers, however, are a violation of federal law, except for use by the police or military, or specific government contractors. Expect to pay $15-$30,000 each for these items. Mufflers will only cost from $250-$1000, plus the $2000 stamp. However, once the muffler is damaged, it must be disposed of by cutting it into three pieces. Failure to do this may result in your family going through the next decade only knowing you in a prison jumpsuit and all your bank accounts seized and never replenished.
Imported sports cars will be prohibited. You may purchase other items from foreign manufacturers, but your automobile is in a special class of prohibition due to its inherently evil and sinister nature. The frames may be imported, cut into three pieces, and reassembled with US made engines and suspensions, as long as 60% of the parts are American. Shortly, though, the Transmission Loophole will be closed. The purpose of allowing imports is for spare parts, not to build more destructive "race vehicles.” Transmissions will have to be US made.
Repairs may only be conducted by a licensed FAL, who will send a truck to retrieve your vehicle. It must be a flatbed type truck, winch/dolly trucks are not allowed, under 10/$10,000 penalty. You may work on your own vehicle, but any repair that exceeds emission or performance standards will be subject to federal criminal charges. And violation of this reasonable regulation could result in not only your imprisonment and the confiscation of your assets but imprisonment of any employee or family member who was insane enough to repair your “race car” for you.
Be aware that an existing HPV may have multiple HP Features. A new HPV will require a license for each feature you wish to add to it-one each for muffler or external engine compression device. And you must request and receive, in writing, permission from the federal, state and local governing authorities prior to making such modifications.
Converting a standard car to a sports car will require payment of a $2000 tax, even if no HP features are added. However, if an FAL/SOT does the conversion on a new frame before the vehicle leaves their premises, it will only be a $50 tax. You will need to carry this documentation in the glove box at all times, the mere failure of which alone can result in an arrest and possible conviction.
There is discussion of closing the Car Dealer Loophole, through which private individuals sell cars to friends without going through an FAL. It is important we have these background checks. Surveys show criminals prefer to buy unlicensed to get around their legal liabilities so they can commit crimes in stolen vehicles, which evidence has proven for many years to be true.
There is also discussion of prohibiting brightly colored vehicles. Vehicles are transportation, not toys, and should not be marketed in a way that suggests they are intended for casual use. It is important that everyone be aware of the dangerous nature of cars.
In the future, we may have to consider large displacement engines (anything over 2.5 liters) and transmissions with more than three speeds as being High Performance Items to be added to the federal registry. There will be a window during which you can register your items for $2000 each, provided you meet the background check. Otherwise, you will have to immediately surrender them to an FAL/SOT to dispose of on your behalf. Operating an unlicensed HPV after this date will result in confiscation and destruction of the vehicle, and the 10/$10,000 punishment.
These laws and regulations are due to drunk drivers, reckless drivers and other criminals. The automobile community should be glad it is allowed to exist at all, given all the deaths and environmental damage caused by these vehicles.
The president said today that he strongly supports your right to own and drive basic, standard vehicles for farm use and carpooling. But he and many other people have made it clear that eventually - maybe this month - we need to cease all manufacturing of such high powered automobiles for the civilian market.
Eventually, we need to move away from the notion that owning and operating a vehicle is a right and entitlement, and limit it to people with a proven, bona fide professional need. There are plenty of trains and buses for normal people. This is how most civilized nations are moving and is not a violation of your right to travel.

I made one mistake, though.
"Lying on this form will be punishable by 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.*

Someone remind me, has the NRA gotten around to registering as a Moscow-based foreign interest group yet?
@NW3D Hey, remember how one of those stories resulted in multiple convictions for espionage and bribery that basically decimated the NRA’s leadership, and the other turned out to be as substantive as Rudy Giuliani’s reservation at the Four Seasons?
@@joeshadows You expect too much from him, apparently. He's drank the kool-aid!
6:56 Those dudes selling guns at the gun show look and sound exactly like we all thought they’d look and sound. 😂🤣😂😭
Mostly because they were saying that they thought you wanted to hear.
The "gun show loophole" is a myth. If you buy a gun at a gunshow, you have to fill out a 4477 and the dealer has to call the FBI just like everyone else.
More than once during the Clinton years, the FBI's "system was down" conveniently when big gun shows were going on, and they couldn't sell a single gun.

Or the ATF deliberately sells them to criminals so they can blame the guns, and then Obama covers it up....
Just nailed the " nobody is leaving incident.... Lol!!!

I'm with Dave Chappelle on this one: Have every black man in the US legally register a gun. That'll get the gun control problem fixed within a few months.
it worked back in the day when the black panthers started open carrying.
@@nonyabizness.original Yup. I would be surprised, but I'm really not. Conservative voters in the US seem to be totally on board with restricting their own rights as long as it also screws black people over.

And it’s always been like that! My mom tried to go into a Gun store once to try and look for a Pellet Rifle during COVID-19 shutdowns! She was wearing a mask and gloves. The person outside refused her service.
But when two White boys show up after she returned to her car, the guy immediately let Them in!
Gun Shops are Notoriously Racist! Big or Small, you need to understand that most of them just don’t fucking care about black people at all.
