Personally I think the NRA is full of shit. No rational person will interpret the Constitution to say that any asshole can own any type of gun or weapon.

Saying that, I know guns are here to stay. My grandmother had a shotgun in every room in North Carolina.

I myself, have never shot a real gun.

1. Should we have stricter gun laws? Age? Types?

2. Have you ever shot a gun for any reason other than practice?

3. Do you own a gun? What kind? Do you plan on buying one?

Interestingly Reagan, a republican, sign one of the first laws restricting guns when the Black Panthers arrived at the staye capitol strapped.

There were plenty of laws restricting guns before that going back to the 19th Century. In the case of the Black Panthers, the NRA supported gun control.

Every Black man should have basic knowledge and experience with firearms.

Exactly. And make sure to do your own research as opposed to relying on what you see on social media or on the news. Those sources are chock full of inaccuracies and fear mongering meant to skew perceptions and perspectives.

Facts. That's why I don't fuck with them. There are plenty of black gun groups and the count is growing. I prefer NAAGA as it's non-political and focuses more sharing knowledge and safety

I'm only vaguely familiar with laws at that time in regards to guns. The types of guns the average person had at that time is hugely different than today.

Funny things is that in those western movies and in history where Wyatt Earp or at Masterson restricted guns in town, no one referred to it as gun control.

If you look in the thread about the recent killing of the lady with a baby stroller in NY, you'll see some links I shared that talks about gun control and racism.

Also it's ironic that you mention old western movies and how the guns of today look. If you look at what most people assume an "assault rifle" looks like, they'll typically select an AR because it looks aggressive and disregard the rifles that look like they're straight out of an episode of Bonanza as being in the same category. However there are plenty of rifles that shoot the same calibers as the AR with the same fire rate and capacity. Prime example is the Ruger Mini 14. It shoots the same .223/5.56 caliber that standard ARs shoot

Most important gun safety rule is to treat the firearm as if it's loaded at all times. If you can commit that rule to every day practice then every other rule becomes common sense. And to be honest, you need to break at least 2 rules to harm someone or yourself. But if you follow the primary rule then you'll reduce the likelihood of an accident by at least 90-95%

I agree whole heartily.

I am a gun owner and certified collector.
I have a shotgun, a couple of small caliber rifles and handguns.
I am ex-military so I have trained and qualified on a variety of weapons and it is the Army that taught me safety.
I go to the range when I have time and practice on all of my pieces. Practice is good but learning how to maintain your weapon should never be underestimated. I know for a fact that these hood boogers running around don't break down, clean, lube and test their handguns. When you hear about guns jamming up or malfunctioning, that is usually the cause.

As far as laws are concerned: Fuck Laws.
IF someone wants a gun they can wait til the dude in the hood pulls up and pops the trunk.
 
1. Should we have stricter gun laws? Age? Types?
1a. Depends on the state, I live in one of the strictest gun law states. They make the process of getting a firearm almost impossible to discourage people. It's strict enough but I wish proper training on gun safety was mandatory.

1b. Personally 21 and over, kids are fucking stupid and impulsive.
1c. All guns should be legal but I can also argue why some types shouldn't be available to the average person.

2. Have you ever shot a gun for any reason other than practice? All practice and taken several classes.

3. Do you own a gun? What kind? Do you plan on buying one? I plead fizzith.
 
I'm a gun owner, and I hunt. I believe every single Black person in this country should own at least one hand gun and one rifle... That rifle should be a Ruger 10/22. I don't care what type of a hand gun or shotgun a person gets.

I also believe that we should be required to take firearm safety courses before we get that weapon. Like someone already said, you need to be able to break that weapon down so you can clean it and lube it.

I know someone who obtained a gun from their Dad who passed away. This gun had caked up crud on it and through it, and the person was talking about shooting a bullet through it and that would clear the crud out. I was like, "Homie, the only thing you're going to clear out with that thing is your brains." So he brought it to me, and I showed him how to break it down and clean it and lube it.

Also, most people over lube their guns... But that's on another note.
Oh, and WD-40 is not for lubing your guns either!

NY just unveiled their rebuttal to the SCOTUS ruling and it's pure unadulterated fuckery that's just about as unconstitutional as the laws that were just struck down :angry:

New York Legislature passes stiffer gun restrictions to soften blow of Supreme Court ruling

In a special session, the state's Senate and Assembly voted to ban firearms in many public places, including Times Square, and add more permitting requirements.

I picked up a 10/22 used on my birthday this year. Already made mods to it, just waiting to go to an outdoor range. Next rifle will probably be a Mini 14 since most of my guns besides the shotty are Rugers.

My next rifle will be a bolt-action. Just a matter of what caliber I'll get it chambered in. 308 and 300Blk are the options. Might pick up a Ruger 10/22 as well just so I have a 22lr in my arsenal though I'd probably rather a bolt-action in that as well.

I have the Ruger Model: 8348 Target, and it's a Bolt-Action. I know that most people get the semi-auto, but since I hunt with .300WinMag Bolt-Action, I wanted to be able to practice going through the motions on a small caliber rifle.

The Model 8348 has a thicker barrel, and it's a highly accurate. I love this thing. The 22LR has damn near no recoil whatsoever, so you can go to the range and practice all day without tearing your shoulder to pieces.

It's also great for hunting small game like rabbits and quail.

This is some bullshit.

If the bill is approved, guns would be banned from modes of public transportation, such as subways and buses, and from schools, shelters, government buildings, poll sites, places of worship, health facilities, establishments that serve alcohol, libraries, day cares, zoos, museums, theaters and stadiums, public playgrounds and parks.


Other sensitive locations where firearms would be prohibited include Times Square, a popular tourist destination in Manhattan.
There will also be a “presumption” statewide that firearms are not welcome inside private businesses unless the property owner explicitly states otherwise with a clearly visible sign.


Under the bill, pistol permit seekers statewide would have to disclose their former and current social media accounts from the past three years.


They would also need to sit for an in-person interview with a licensing officer, have at least 16 hours of in-person firearm training and agree to store firearms safely, including inside vehicles and inside homes with children 18 and under.


The bill would create statewide record databases for ammunition sales and licenses, and require ammunition sellers or firearm dealers to keep a record book of every ammunition transaction. It would also create an appeals board.
