    its called an analogy that you pretend you don't understand. there is no legal market for heroin in the USA. yet heroin, which is invariably imported and needs to be constantly resupplied, causes more deaths than handguns by far. so the gun banner attitude is just silly

    really? You understood what I said because if you had a valid rebuttal, you would actually post one

    You can't. What is a good number for you? 100 deaths, 0 deaths?

    I believe you can. We should try to reduce every death we can in a reasonable way. Filling out a form would help reduce deaths and the inconveinence would be minor to gun owners. That is reasonable

    No its called whataboutism. We do everything we can to reduce heroin deaths. We should do the same for guns

    why do you deny the obvious and then whine to the mods? you said guns should be treated like heroin. Heroin is banned. that makes you an advocate for gun banning. It is as simple as that. you try to play fast and loose with facts and insinuate guns should be banned while howling to high heaven if someone calls you a gun banner. your own words condemn you. Can I use your comment as a signature?

    especially when the people least likely to cause harm are the most likely to fill out a stupid form while those most likely to call harm are not going to fill it out no matter what

    Do I have to go to an FFL to turn it in and pay up to $50 for the privilege, or do we just fill in the form and sell the gun?

    Yes. You must climb that mount everest of getting off the couch and paying a small fee.

    Then it's not just filling in a form. Every time you claim such then you're lying knowingly and outright.

    Simply filling in a form, as you keep repeating, does nothing.

    No, it's the fee you want me to pay to loan a gun to a friend.

    What if there was no fee at all? Face it....that is not the issue for you

    I don't know why we can't own hand grenades, RPGs & tanks. By the way, I believe individuals can own tanks but without operative cannon & machine guns.

    Additionally, guns are hardly ignored & I don't think I'll live to see the day when all guns are outlawed.


    Are you supportive of banning ALL firearms?

    I think you're ignoring the many instances in which gun ownership has saved lives; mine for example.

    I already fill out forms when I buy a firearm, gun thieves don't & by definition, never will.

    What if I had direct access to NICS? I'd use that process willingly.
