Keeping guns around mentally unhealthy folks is negligence. No different than storing a loaded gun in the baby's crib.
I agree we need to undo the damage that was done to this nations mental health system, but allowing incompetents or those a danger to themselves or others access to weapons is negligence.
That sounds like a problem with a 1911 not the idea.
I can think of a couple redesigns that would allow the exposed hammer to be removed and quickly reinserted.
Keeping the bolt or other part crucial to firing the weapon separate is in general a sound idea. It even allows weapons to be made safe around children, while only requiring a much smaller locking box to store the gun parts in. For most bolt action rifles this is incredibly practical, for instance. Since they would require a full length gun safe otherwise.
You are mixing up two different weapons both based on a similar design. The original armalite AR-15 was a select fire weapon designed for a military competition. The Colt(and its derivatives) AR-15 is a a semi auto which means it cannot be an assault weapon.
One of the worlds most popular rifle designs the Mauser was designed for military use. Almost all of them are used for deer hunting these days. The military drives design for weapons due to its large budget. You would have trouble finding any kind of weapon that was designed in the last several hundred years with no input or influence from a military.
You are banning something that looks scary and that is all. Any semi-auto hunting rifle would be just as dangerous and some would argue that a straight pull bolt action or lever gun would be damn near the same. Those guns would also be in far more powerful calibers.
I think some restrictions should be enacted, we should screen gun buyers for mental problems, maybe some guns should be unavailable on the commercial market, but to single out the AR-15 is foolish and pointless.
No, I really did mean he is center left. That is his ideology. That is absolutely as close as you will come with a US politician. Which is why blaming anything on the far left politicians in the USA is pointless, sicne there are none.
Most types of ammunition are available for commercial sale, including full metal jacket bullet calibres for military-issue weapons; hollow point rounds are only permitted for hunters. Ammunition sales are registered only at the point of sale by recording the buyer's name in a bound book
That quote seems to disagree with claims about ammo control being strict.
He had no assault rifles. Assault rifles are defined as being select fire full auto or burst mode. Those kinds of guns are illegal for new production in the USA.
What do you mean you can't buy more? If you can buy hunting rifles which can be chambered in the same caliber how do they know if you are buying it for the SIG or the varmint gun?
Name one far left politician in America. One that actually has had a decent chance at winning a federal office. Remember you said far left, so don't go naming any center right folks.
You know that is not the argument he is making at all. Unless you believe that is the sort of thing your child would seek out.
Protecting children can go to far, I am sure you can think of cases like that from when you were growing up. In high school you could alway tell the strict parents by their kids, their sons were always near alcohol poisoning at any party they went to and to say their daughters were promiscuous was putting it lightly.
He is only suggesting that it is your place not google's to protect your child and that no matter what you or google do your child will still find whatever images he likes.
I might not be a parent, but I was a child once. I have also been in a position to teach children, and when a parent said they did the work with the child that meant they did it for the child.

That women should not be allowed to own a firearm, nor a three year old.
She would be just as irresponsible with any dangerous object.
You will be glad to know their website is still in operation. It appears to be update regularly.

I am not sure how those two things are in conflict.
A gatling gun is not a machine gun if it is operated with a hand crank. Nor is a gatling gun exactly portable.
Lawful Evil, else he would not be trying to get it instituted in a legal manner.
Why does the Daily Mail get so much press on the internet?
You never see slashdot quoting the Weekly World News about the latest exploits of Batboy.

Which means very little when commercial sale is an option. Which wikipedia indicates is.
Feel free to link to alternate sources of information.

I agree on all points.
The ban on scary black guns was poorly though out and even more poorly implemented.
I am considering picking up some AR lowers, not because I want such a thing but the value of preban lowers will surely go up.
Assault rifles are already banned, assault rifles have select fire. The weapon used in this attack was semi-automatic only.
You found a center left one, good for you. Now go back and find that mysterious far left politician.
What do you mean you can't buy more?

I will wait.
Or you could compare to societies that have far less religious folks and guess what? LOWER CRIME RATES!
How you can quote two hatemongers and get uprated on slashdot I do not know.
Lots of people say things, but which of those groups wants to deprive people of civil rights?
Which of those groups is involved with making homosexuality a death penalty offense in Uganda?
Then why would they vote for a center right party?
It's one or the other you dolt.
I think most people would agree if the motherboards were comparably priced. Of course that may have changed recently and I did not notice.
Sure, but that is quite different than doing the searching for him. Which is what the GP described.
Standing at a distance with an ear out for questions is one thing, doing the searching/math/reading for them is a whole other thing.
Parents like you describe don't generally mention they did the work "with" the child.
You know that is not the argument he is making at all. Unless you believe that is the sort of thing your child would seek out.

That would be news to my friends and family. I shall inform them the genius AC has said nobody likes me and that they should heed his advice.
Dude, get a life. Everyone is wrong sometimes, this time is just happened to be you. Also get an account.
Doing it with them is doing it for them.
