:rolleyes I could buy a car illegally given enough cash and the right people to ask, and yet we manage to regulate the fuck out of those. I'm also kinda banking on the idea that a hot pistol is significantly cheaper than psych meds for some poor wackaloon that's on the street.
Look, you really wanna know my thoughts on yaoi stance on gun control? I'm in favor of regulation. I want at minimum the same kind of controls on gun licensing as we currently have for people who drive cars, and I want the enforcement of those regs to have some fucking teeth. Also, no military-grade heavy weapons period unless they've been demilled.
Beyond that, I honestly do not give a flying fuck what kind of guns you own or how many you own as long as you're not that part of the population screaming about how liberals are aliens controlling the UN. You can have enough guns to refight all the battles of Ypres for all I care, just so long as I don't have to worry about Jesus telling you I'm the fucking Antichrist and Must Be Stopped. That's it.
...okay, there's the bit about wanting to see the NRA leadership lowered slowly into a lava pit, but that's more a personal gripe than a major policy decision.
