SCOTUS agrees to hear 2A case from NYC
There won't be any recourse, Murphy will just continue, and the citizens will continue to take it up the rear with these new laws, just like they've been doing for decades...

Well, that's better than a bad cable in the wall. Just plug it into a different port that's not being used from a different room.

CA Governor Newsom trying to Top Murphy with NEW Unconstitutional Gun Laws
It seems like these two guys are always trying to "one up" each other with passing of MORE unconstitutional gun laws. Will ANYONE ever stop them? ..." Newsom, who was elected last year on a campaign that promised strict limits on firearms, signed 15 bills passed in response to recent mass shootings. The measure restricting purchases, Senate Bill 61, prohibits Californians from buying more than one semiautomatic rifle per month and is one of two gun bills by state Sen. Anthony Portantino (D–La Cañada Flintridge). It also bans the sale of semiautomatic centerfire rifles to people younger than 21, removing a provision of the law that allowed younger people to buy such guns if they have a hunting license. Another Portantino measure signed by Newsom reduces the number of firearms an unlicensed individual is able to sell each year and the frequency with which they are able to sell. The law currently allows law enforcement and family members of troubled individuals to ask the courts to issue a “gun-violence restraining order” that takes away their firearms, but the measure signed Friday by Newsom adds teachers, school administrators, employers and co-workers to the list of those who may petition the courts to remove guns. “I have no problem with the 2nd Amendment — you have a right to bear arms, but not weapons of goddamned mass destruction,” Newsom told reporters Other bills signed Friday by Newsom will: Allow those subject to a gun-violence restraining order to submit a form to the court voluntarily relinquishing their firearm rights Require firearm packaging to contain a warning statement on suicide prevention Mandate that county sheriffs who issue licenses for concealed weapons charge a fee covering the cost of vetting the applicant, thus eliminating the current $100 cap on fees Prohibit gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego County Require, starting in 2024, that the sale of components used to build a firearm — often used to build untraceable “ghost guns” — be carried out through a licensed vendor. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-10-11/california-approves-gun-control-red-flag-laws

I'm copying my post from the OP's other thread: Guys, this OP just registered a few hours ago. You should really hold off on responding until they build up some history. We are constantly "probed" by people from the outside, looking to see what type of information we share. The OP hasn't been back in 10 hours, since their initial two posts, for any follow-up questions.

Apparently you haven't been following the postings of a few of them here, Greenday and AVB, both have those type of weapons, and are seriously delusional... I'm sure there are plenty more, wandering loose....

SCOTUS agrees to hear 2A case from NYC
That's what I think too. The 2A situation is a WAY too hot subject in the country today. They don't want to touch any cases, even if they have asbestos gloves. If they ruled positively on a 2A case, the judges voting FOR it, would need security guards 24/7, armed with AR15s to protect them.

It very well could have been a mass shooting, if a good guy with a gun wasn't there to stop him. Stop being so obtuse.

SCOTUS agrees to hear 2A case from NYC
Exactly right!! The mindset that thinking the S.C. will come to our rescue and reverse a passed law is totally nuts... How's Gorsuch and Kavanaugh working out so far? Everyone that thinks that way needs to look at how many unconstitutional anti 2A NEW laws have been passed over the last few decades, and how many have been reversed by the higher courts!

Vintage Mountain Bikes
I have a Mongoose Pro from like the early 2000's (don't know if it qualifies as "vintage"?? It's still serving me well and I love how it handles and rides. Two things I really like is the monoshock rear suspension that I can dial in to change the ride, along with the adjustable front shocks. The other is the disc brakes, that aren't affected by water and mud.

Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
It could be argued, but it would be incorrect. Here's just another example of your WaPo/NYT narrative being "corrected". An alleged robber with an “assault rifle” was killed Tuesday by a good guy with a gun in an Apple store in Dallas, Texas. The suspect was described as being armed with an “assault rifle” and wearing body armor. He was shot and fatally wounded after unsuccessfully attempting to disarm the store’s security guard. The suspect, described as an adult Black male, attempted to disarm the security officer but was unsuccessful. The security officer was able to pull his weapon and fired multiple times striking the suspect. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/09/alleged-robber-with-assault-rifle-killed-by-good-guy-with-a-gun/ Oops....

Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
Wrong, YOUR "news" sources want you to believe that (see, their re-programming really works), but the FACTS show: It's the SAME rate as their ratio to the overall population (your post above PROVES that). It's just CNN, NYT and MSNBC can't sensationalize a mass killing, and push their narrative, when it's a angry, young Hispanic male, like they can with a WHITE male.
-
Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
Yes, "We" know that, but YOU choose to use biased, left wing, radical, lefty, Anti-2A sites as your point of reference for gun facts and data. Why do you do that, if you know, going in, there are extreme biases?
-
Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
So AVB, statistically, your numbers are exactly in line with the way the population is split.. angry, WHITE, young mails AREN'T the epidemic in these shootings, like Liberal media spins it.. @Mrs. Peel is correct. ....." Plainly, the millennial generation is ushering in the nation’s broader racial diversity. Overall, millennials are 55.8 percent white and nearly 30 percent “new minorities” (Hispanics, Asians and those identifying as two or more races). https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2016/06/28/diversity-defines-the-millennial-generation/

Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
First off, when I see a Anti-2A Liberal using Mother Jones as their "Fact Checking Site" (knowing that Mother Jones is farther radical Left than CNN, MSNBC and NYT), I immediately discard any point of reference, due to their history of bias. That said, they did get one IMPORTANT point correct, and one that I mentioned earlier in the thread: THIS is the common denominator to these shootings (besides the gun), but the Liberal media always totally ignores this MAIN issue. @AVB-AMG, why does your media always ignore the mental illness FACT, while always blaming the gun? AVB, there are at least 35 MILLION angry, male, young people in the country (half are WHITE), how many are mass shooters?
-
Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
Also note, in that same time period, MORE guns have been purchased and in possession, and the Millennial generation (the angry, white, young, male generation) is the biggest in the country.

The thing you don't understand, not all posts are made strictly to address the original poster. Many posts are made to educate OTHER members not NOT posting in the thread, not to mention all the lurkers that read the forum, but don't post at all. (FYI, there were 90 people/bots viewing the forum in the last 30 minutes). You know what happens when you assume, right?

Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
Speaking of FACTS, the FBI just released the stats from 2018 regarding homicides by each weapon. Hey @AVB-AMG, do you accept the data from the FBI (even though they seem to lean "Left" recently), versus Giffords or Bloomberg's Anytown? Here's the quick rundown of the murder rates per weapon: FBI Data Shows 5 Times More People Killed By Knives Than Rifles Last Year Of the 14,123 murders in 2018, 10, 265 of them involved firearms—a 7 percent drop from the previous year. That being said, the number of rifle deaths is extremely important given that this is the weapon most often targeted by gun grabbers. But as the statistics show, a AR15 really isn’t being used against that many Americans. In fact, far more Americans are dying by knives. According to the FBI data, 1,515 were stabbed, cut, or maimed to death by a knife or other cutting instrument. This is a number 5 times higher than those killed by rifles, which sits at just 297. What’s more, twice as many people were beaten to death with hands, fists, and feet (672) than were killed by rifles. And, nearly 150 more people (443) were bludgeoned to death with hammers and other blunt objects than killed with rifles. The weapon most often targeted by gun grabbers appears to play a rather tiny role in the majority of murders carried out in the United States. This is in spite of Americans owning around 16 million AR style rifles. Another important fact is that the FBI data does not differentiate as to what kind of rifle was used in the murder—meaning that it is not likely that all 297 rifle deaths were caused by AR type rifles. The FBI data includes all rifles — including bolt action, pump or lever action rifles — not just AR-15s. If we were to compare stabbings to just AR-15 rifle deaths, that disparity would more likely than not be even greater. Knowing these facts about rifles makes the gun grabbers calls for taking your AR-15s that much more hollow. Even if they were able to disarm all Americans of their AR-15 rifles, this would have little to no effect on the number of total murders. So, @AVB-AMG, since you say you're willing to learn and adjust your thinking... based on this DATA by the FBI, do you still think a "assault weapons" ban/confiscation will really reduced mass murder? Also, do you see where the TRUE issue is, and what items are used to do the majority of killings?

Joe Biden: Time to Sue Gun Manufacturers
@AVB-AMG I appreciate you taking the time to post another one of your short novels, explaining your position. I'm not going to take the hours to respond to each one... I'll reference that first one I just reposted, as this is the BIGGEST issue in my view. Yes, there is no way ANY law will stop a deranged individual from committing the carnage he's looking for. If a deranged guy wants to kill a group of people with a gun, a car, a truck, a knife, poisons, a airplane, or even fertilizer, not a single existing law or NEW law will stop him. Unfortunately, every new gun law that gets passed, just restricts the law abiding gun owner, and never the criminals. Easily over 90% of the past mass shooters have all exhibited some sort of mental derangement or illness. It's virtually impossible to legislated away "crazy". So, the response by politicians, legislate away Constitutional rights instead... So, you can pass all the new laws you want, nothing will change if a deranged guy wants to kill people. Now, regarding all the increased gun-related deaths from mass shootings. I'm in no way going to diminish the loss of life, as every life is special. But when you step back, remove the EMOTIONAL responses by people who fear guns, the true number of people killed by "assault weapons" each year isn't even a blip on the radar, when comparing to all other causes of death annually. The Emotional response by certain groups and the media make it a lot bigger issue than it is. You know the stats, so I won't repeat them, but deaths by other causes: medical, autos, knives, overdoses, etc, by far, surpasses deaths by assault weapons, by 10x, 20x, 30x more... yet the politician completely ignore those facts... why? The politicians think putting MORE restrictions on the millions of law abiding gun owners is the solution, and YOU agree with many of them... that's just wrong and sad... Unfortunately, the "price for our freedom" includes people dying, both in wars and the military, and here at home, by the hands of a deranged individual, who gets his hands on a gun. For some reason, the country can't handle a few dying this way, but they get into a car every day, knowing that 40,000 people die in car accidents and millions more get severely injured ever year. Where's the logic there? Piling on MORE, knee-jerk, emotionally written gun laws isn't the answer. I do agree with you, how about LEOs start doing a better job enforcing the EXISTING laws on the books, and holding people accountable? How's that for a novel idea?
