Another shooting... California Disability Centre

[Stoked]

I think it would. A check-in check-out system would help.

But I will concede that Stoked is right in that it would still take a long time to come into full compliance. Even if, somehow, the government got away with the obtrusive door to door searches.

I doubt this would ever have full compliance. There are millions that will openly defy this from day 1. This is one of those issues I can see causing a split in the nation. As a group the south, great plains and most the rocky mountain states (CO and NM are possible exceptions) would refuse.

So we give them a reason to like the idea.. make the militia body responsible for the gun upkeep, maintenance. Throw in two free trips(and X bullets fired) a year required to keep your membership. Multiple types of firearms to play wi-- er.. "available to certify" on without need for purchasing; they'd just purchase the ammo and time for someone to show them how it's done, etc. Throw your "gun safety" in there, too.

Funding would be difficult, and so would finding oversight, but I think most would consider it.

Just trying to imagine what it could/would be like...

I imagine there might be a few very large nationwide militias, with some medium sized special interest type militias and then many small local militias. Getting accepted into a larger militia might come with major perks, like access to their top of the line shooting ranges, access to their high-end arsenal for training and practice sessions, a cool club-house, etc.

As I think about it, I actually think a militia system could enhance the 2nd amendment. I'm assuming that as long as the militia has the right certifications/controls they could posses military-grade equipment. The intent, after all, is supposed to be for the people to be able to resist tyranny. Well regulated militias could do that better than millions of random jackasses with guns as toys.

Galvanizing the 2nd amendment by clearing up the confusion left by the framers, Gun Safety, Gun Control, Objective Responsibility, increased public defense, and firearm variety all rolled into one.

We do good work.

I agree.

But unlike Roach I don't think they go for it.

I think the ban on Muslims is absurd. I do think due diligence needs to be done on who we let in but that goes beyond Muslims. Terrorists (Muslim, Christian, domestic, eco...pick your adjective) are a very real problem.

Wyoming and North Dakota never looked so good. I agree that banning Muslims would be knee jerk. It's a stupid proposal only rolled out there for political points by a candidate who is so attention starved he can't seem to help himself. That said, we should be exercising reasonable precautions and they absolutely cannot allow any terrorists to enter this country through the refugee program.

BTW, I'd be interested in seeing a similar map showing christian extremist suspects, etc. My guess is that the vast majority of these shootings are actually gang-on-gang crime.

Hah. I actually saw this image on Facebook with a link to an article and the OP saying something like "this image proves that Fox News lies about most mass shootings done by Muslims." It was pretty funny because I've never heard anyone claim Muslims were the culprits of mass shootings.

Not sure I follow where you're going with this.

There's a lot of people in Utah drawing the Muslim > Shootings conclusion. Not because they've thought it out, or have numbers... merely because they're scared and need someone, or some thing to blame. There's 0 evidence to support it, but I think the state motto is "Who needs evidence?"
