When someone posts something saying they are going to go to school and k**l people... time to go take the guns out of their household. False claims are actually easier to counteract than credible allegations are.

My sister was ripping off the estate that she was executor of. She was pissed off about my brother and I challenging her legally. She filed a report that I had threatened to k**l her or my father, he had dementia so bad that she could say anything she wanted about what he said or didn't. I had two cops show up on my door in high alert mode because she had represented that I was a dangerous hothead with a lot of guns and that I was subject to "going off".

They talked with me for an hour, my wife came home. Their questions centered on my history and whether I'd ever had any incidents of threatening or acting in a violent manner. I told them about a bar fight that I'd been put in jail for and that I had simply responded to someone attacking me and effectively won having severely hurt the guy. They had the record, and it was the only incident involving violence.

They actually left on good terms, and said they were going to talk to the DA about filing a felony false report on my sister.

That situation would have had a different outcome had I had a history of gun related violence and threats. The fact of the matter is that we need to be weeding people with histories like that out. People who are hotheads and unstable do not have a right to have guns.

Why is that, Morgan? Have you ever heard a "silenced"weapon in real life? I didn't think so. Why should silencers be limited to the military?
Here is a table giving the decibels produced by various causes. A silencer at best will reduce this noise by half. That's a damn good, very expensive silencer.


After this technical jargon, here is a table of loudness.

No wonder why the damn Glock sounded louder than my Bigmouth at the range!

Ya know Morg, my fav lil lady I agree with you on this point! Surprised ya huh? Being a shooting sports enthusiast since my time in the Corps, owning several pistols, shot & long guns and even a SKS, AR-15 and an AK-47, all semi-auto and scary looking, but that's beside the point. This so called Universal Background Check will be a joke. We have had that law here in Colorado since the dim's took over the state a few years back including private person to person t***sfers. This law is easily circumvented simply because people don't disclose a sale or private purchase to authorities and if one wants to abide by this silly law they merely go out of state to WY, UT, KS or NM to conduct their business. If the dims truly wanted to deprive crazy people (which I agree with) firearms why didn't the write the bill as such? This craziness won't make it through the Senate and if by some miracle it does, President Trump will certainly veto it.

I often ask you libs to name one NRA member who has committed a mass shooting, and all I hear is crickets~~~
