That could be considered Accepting Stolen Property, and Fencing; too. But just try to enforce it. Some Criminal Organizations also load the stuff into shipping containers, and ship it out of The Country, before Authorities know it.

I know you understand what I said, so your refusal to respond means you don’t have a way to actually defend your position.

The data says yes. Gun ownership is at all time highs and gun violence is far lower than it was even a few decades ago.

Glacier till, up and down the coast. But the CT river valley has some fine soil. It was and is still used to grow finishing tobacco !

im done entertaining this clown in particular at this point he seems to be broken.

So basically every state with a high cost of living? That makes sense....

That’s true of literally every crime, yet people still commit crime.

It’s a responsibility, and those who are responsible for the problem should be responsible for the solution. That’s a principle gun owners tend to agree with until they personally can be held responsible.

Agreed, I know a lot of tradesmen and people who don't have administrative jobs that would 100% disagree with this.

Bicycles are stolen for the same reason, and Scrap Yards, and some Bike Shops, will purchase them, no questions asked; Bicycles also don't have VIN numbers.

Lol anyone going to trust a boomer mag on work life balance, gimme a break

Banning guns altogether in the United States is a laughable proposition. They might regulate it out of the general populace’s hands, but guns will remain. This coming from someone who’s pro gun control.

I mean people in this argument tend to not see gun owners as simple hobbyists, but the vast majority are just that - hobbyists. It’s largely not even for “protection”. Sure it’s a hobby that has lethal ramifications, but it’s a hobby nonetheless. Most people have guns simply because they like guns.

When looked at as a hobby it can be compared to other things people do for fun. Something that’s not as dangerous but still has regulations. For instance, it’s illegal to fly Fpv drones without a part 107 FAA license, a HAM amateur radio license, and a spotter to see line of site at all times.

People end up flying these drones without any licenses or spotters, sometimes crashing into cars, breaking windows, causing damage, etc. The regulations didn’t kill the hobby, people partake anyway (even with more regulations on the way)

Now imagine everyone and their moms has a drone, then the government says “we’re outright banning all drones” the idea that you could get all the drones off the street would prove to be futile. Especially if there are more drones(guns) than people in the nation. Now imagine the right to own and operate drones are an inalienable right that is bestowed on the people via the constitution.

The hobby will survive regardless of regulation.

Now taxing bullets? I’m all for. Guns should be treated with the same sin taxes as tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, etc imo. Just to pay for the damage gun owners do within this country annually. The same reason tobacco has a sin tax justified because someone needs to pay for the extra care per smoking patient on the backend.

Gun sin taxes should go to families of victims, to fixing damages of public property, to fixing the temperature of some of these inner cities to not have so many regular gun fights.

If you say so, seems like a good way to lose your permit, FFL, and get a bonus prison stay

You quote Fake-o-pedia? 😂

Thanks to our shitty rocky soil, most farms were abandoned.

And if the only thing we want is a performance to pretend we are doing something that’s probably just fine.

and uhhhhh theres already 17% guns and ammo tax. you’re goin in circles dude dont get dizzy now🤪

Sure, in the same way that people do really build their own homes from logs they felled themselves, but let’s not pretend like the criminal element is primarily building their own guns or making their own ammo. They are buying it from straw buyers and dishonest gun dealers.

Like you said, that’s if you can track down the buyer especially if they’re taking it out of state. Is there any identification or registration on those cats to prove which one is yours? Honest question.

7 MILLION dollars should be enough to host some events and teach a bunch of classes across the state a couple times a year actually, yes. just stop while you’re ahead buddy.😂

I mean that isn't true, either. People DO reload their own ammunition.

Are you saying that it’s safer for a non gun owner to be surrounded by people with guns, as opposed to being surrounded by people without guns?

> thats like adding taxes to alcohol because a minor got caught drinking at a party.

Uhhh, we already do that? There are taxes on alcohol above and beyond the 6.35% specifically to deal with harm alcohol causes.

geez talking with connecticut alt-reich cons is like trying to teach a incontinent golden retriever to play basketball.
