Should The State Of Pennsylvania Enact Laws To Control Semi-Automatic Weapons?

A poll

Wow. 15,600 "No" votes to fewer than 500 "Yes" votes.

 

[jamil]

Um, I'm not sure I'd trust a poll where the options adds up to 103%.

Don't have to trust it.
But I want every poll possible to show we don't support gun control.

 

[Mongo59]

I've heard that 87.3264% of all stats are made up on the spot.

I have also heard that 5 out of 3 Americans are bad at fractions...

Oregon trying to go full on stupid.
Permit to buy a gun. Ammunition purchase restrictions as well as mag capacity to 5 rounds.

Well that should stop the bad guys.

Yeah. Pretty much guarantee the crime rate goes up if that s**t passes!

Man, I know it was a long time ago, but when I lived in NE Oregon, back in 1972, this **** would have been totally laughed down.

This is the year to buy a stripped lower every other month or so, magazines when they go on sale, maybe a binary trigger or two... a case of ammo every so often. Don't forget to get spare parts, build kits, ect...

Nobody should complain if/when prices go up the closer we get to the election cycle. I don't think we will lose control of the Senate, but could lose more in the House and control of the White House is up for grabs. Right now, I don't think Trump is caring about re-election right now and just pressing forward with trying to keep his campaign promises. He very well could get hit or weakened considerably in the primaries.

The race to the highest level of idiocy.

 

[2A_Tom]

It is actually a race to the bottom.

[FONT=&amp]In psychology, an idiot has the least intelligence on the IQ scale (this now is equivalent to someone who is mentally retarded or the more politically correct “mentally challenged”); an imbecile is not quite as dumb as an idiot and is now considered equivalent to moderate retardation; a moron is then the highest level of intelligence for someone who is mentally retarded, thus considered as being mildly mentally retarded. Specifically, those who have an IQ between 0 and 25 are idiots; IQs between 26 and 50 are considered imbeciles; and those who have an IQ between 51 and 70 are considered morons.[/FONT]

Oregon bill wants to cap you at 5 rounds, virginia bill at 10 rounds.

Seems like a nonsensical gun control push going on lately. Feinstein another bill in senate for whatever reason.

None of this has a chance of passing, why push for it? Just the illusion that they're "doing something"?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Only the best.

Any links to the transcript out there yet? I'd like to read the alleged comments.

ETA: I did find a brief clip of the comment. Not much context about the question that led up to it, but certainly not encouraging.

GOA put out a press release opposing Barr's nomination, but again, very little context.

I must admit I was not in full Kut mode and accepted the meme without evidence.

In the current climate I believe it could be and probably is true, but without context we could be jumping at a wrong conclusion.

In the C-SPAN clip he seems to give a pretty full-throated support of red flag laws. So I wouldn't say it's a wrong conclusion, but I am interested in whether there was a question leading up to his comments or if he volunteered the statement on his own. Or if there were other comments that clarified or addressed the obvious due process concerns inherent with red flag laws.

Going back to the 1990s Barr has not been shy about pushing for gun control, including showing support for waiting periods, a semi-auto ban and magazine limits.
