I would not support this. While I support gun control, the SAVE act is designed to discriminate against women. I don't want to grab women by the pistol.

Conservatives and the right don't care if they're being hypocritical or ignoring how this applies to something they do like. They want the SAVE act because it will benefit them or their side, specifically, not because it's "a good law for everyone" and they don't want a gun version of it because it will restrict them, specifically. they'd probably be fine with a gun version that only restricts Democrats, "the left", trans people, people of color, and any other "outsider".
Oddly enough it works like this for silencers to my understanding. And concealed carry to an extent.
But yeah people would riot without their guns
And people think sound suppressors are only for assassins. What if I just want to do some target shooting without blowing out my ear drums? It's a valid reasoning.
They really should call them dampeners, because you still need hearing protection while using a silencer
No you do not, that’s the point. Especially if shooting subsonic ammo through a suppressor.
Depends on the caliber and shooting environment. Some suppressed rifles can still be 140dB or more, which is the burst threshold where hearing loss can occur
Ear protection.
Not nearly as cool, unfortunately
Seems like its like this in most States. I know waiting periods are pretty common (pay today, but don't get possession or the firearm for 1-4 weeks).
It also seems like mail order of complete guns directly to a residential address is pretty locked down (I know 80% guns and such have loop holes). Its my understanding that you've got to have it delivered to a licensed gun dealer, then you can collect it there where they're can do any requisite ID / document checks. Bet this varies state by state though, as well as the bar for constituting a "licensed gun dealer".
The only real difference is presenting original documents. NICS is already a bureaucratic process that can't easily be fixed if you're flagged.
Americans are a funny breed of chimps. They wax poetic about the 2nd amendment and how they need it to protect themselves from a tyrannical government when a guy with mental health issues goes in and shoots up a school murdering innocent children and teachers.
But when they actually need to put that line item into action, they’re swinging deep into the forests away from any type of conflict.
Trump has proven that the American constitution isn’t worth the paper it’s written on and has the resale value of a roll of toilet paper.
Enjoy fascism American. You’ve voted for this shit, twice.
Goes to the local vote show and proceeds to buy votes without any oversight.
- Gun act.
So...Canada?
- Save act
So...Canada?
(Minus the hate, that is)
Oregon requires background checks for all sales of complete firearms and lower receivers with most of these stipulations
That actually sounds kind of reasonable applied to guns.
Until you realize it discriminates against women, trans people, and immigrants.
It's supposed to do that.
Oh I agree, and in particular it's the "name must be exact match" one. However, I'd argue that a specific "firearms license" is a good idea. Also, showing up in person to buy the firearm with said license in hand also a good idea. The last four items, while odious, sound like standard fare for anything dealing with the federal government. It's always your fault and you've gotta pay.
