So, serious discussion. This coming from a guy with a CHL.

I understand there are many responsible gun owners out there. I consider myself one. But how many else out there are just absolute shit-for-brain losers who have no reason owning a gun, much less carry?

I am 100% for gun ownership, for your own home, hunting, recreational purposes. But, even to that extent, I feel like there needs to be at least basic training (such as gun safety, and the responsibility of owning a gun) and a thorough background check. At no point am I saying limit guns. I am wanting those who will own guns to be well informed and responsible.

Now for carrying, I feel like the bar is set way too low. I can't tell you how many retards I've seen getting their CHL/LTC. In my own class I've had a handful of ladies fucking filled up the whole fucking target sheet and received certifications. They didn't even check. I'm fucking terrified that there are these people out there carrying. I do not trust my life in the hands of these people when it comes down to added adrenaline and stresses in real life situations.
I believe there needs to be more advanced training for those who wants to carry and it should be required. Maybe a full background check and qualification every year/two to make sure you're still qualified to carry. Much like LEOs and other government agencies having to.
I just want people who carry to be more well-trained and responsible.

Is my line of thought wrong? Can we civilly discuss why it is?

No.
Shall not be infringed.

You also sound far to paranoid to be carrying a gun yourself. You should probably seek psychiatric help.
>>
As always, the mindset of the statist is that they consider themselves to be the pinnacle of virtue and responsibility, but all other people to be filthy uneducated peasants.
The mindset that "I know better than you" goes back centuries.
OP, you are not an exceptional person. You do not know how to live anybody else's lives better than they do.

You are exactly the kind of person who should have as little power as possible.

First time on /k/ to be honest but I've seen this in two threads already.

Because when fuckwits like you try to decide who can and cannot own guns, they always default to deciding that their political opponents aren't "well trained or responsible".

It existed for the sole purpose of stopping blacks from voting.
>>
>>29715228
Can you give me a context of what a "statist" is? Besides those descriptions. Could it be just anyone with that mindset (essentially Napoleon Complex) or is it someone who bought into the sheepish ideas?
I don't believe I'm an exceptional person but I think as responsible members of society shouldn't it be a standard of sorts?

>>
>>29715263
>I didn't say take away guns, did I?

You did. From anyone who doesn't meet your criteria.

>But what's wrong with ensuring people who actively carry to be well trained and responsible?

It ensures that only people who are considered 'well trained' or 'responsible' by whoever determines the meaning of these are allowed to own and carry weapons.

I'd also like to point out in a vast majority of places in the world these tests already exist, even in the US

Statism is basically the notion that government as a concept is always by definition virtuous and just, and that they always know better than the population.

It's the idea that you see yourself as a superior class of being to others, and that you think it's impossible that they could ever know how to live their lives and understand their personal situation better than you.

It leads to governments perpetually getting bigger and more powerful under the guise that if they get big enough, they'll finally be able to legislate away personal responsibility.

Anybody who has such an obsession with exerting power and control over others should stay the hell away from positions of power.

Statism is the belief that the state should control either economic or social policy, or both, to some degree.

To have a kind of test be passed in order to practice your human rights through the state is inherently wrong to someone who isn't a statist.

But when you start carrying on the streets, does it not make sense for those people to be more trained? Is that too much to ask?
I don't care if it's up to my standards or not, could be one set out by the NRA as long as it ensures the carrier, who will have lives to be responsible for, to be able to handle the situation.
>>
>>29715167

Thats totally reasonable, although /k/ will never admit it. The reason it's a non-starter is that if you go there, compromise means that you'll end up a step further. You get a default registy of gun owners. And then the next step and he next.

So pro-guns rightfully do not give an inch. Everything you lose, you will not likely get back, when it comes to thid peculiar right. And yes, it's very peculiar. And it gives me some reassurance that, no matter how far we stray from liberty and morality and God, there is some freedom here.

Of course

The right of the people to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed. A right does not need a license. A right does not need a safety class.

Unfortunately every passed law and ruling is a slippery slope or foot in the door these days. Right now gun owners are too concerned with getting the supreme law of the land to mean what it fucking says to have the luxury of handing some of it over for a perception of safety.

Gun deaths as a result of accidents are low. Armed citizens shoot more accurately and cause less collateral damage than cops. There is correlation between armed law abiding citizens and reduced crime. Why fuck with something that's working?

It scares me.

Then start making range time as culturaly integrated as eating breakfast and doing chores. Limiting access does not make people better at something.
>>
>>29715340
Because who decides what the definition of "well trained and responsible" is?

Will it just involve handing out a pamphlet with each gun sale that shows the four safety rules?
Or will it involve 6-8 months of training and competition like it does in Australia?

Maybe it can involve a test - like the voter literacy test. Black, hispanic? Tough luck!

Maybe anybody who wants a gun is by definition "not a fit and proper person". There have been attempts made about this one, too.

I sure as hell don't trust you to make that decision.
>>

It's been determined through due process under the United States Constitution that driving automobiles in public is a privilege granted.

In addition to the variety of well-deserved invective on offer, it's worth remembering that a number of states now have Constitutional carry, a good many more don't require any kind of background checks or whatever on private sales, and this wild, crazy, free-swinging laxity about just who can keep and bear arms seems to have changed exactly dick. Empirically, letting Joe Schmoe own and carry a gun is not a problem, even if he seems like a dumbass to you.

This would be my wish if it could. Maybe mandatory military service like in some countries. Could be simple basic 2 years but in those two years you will have learn to be trained in firearms discipline. But compulsory service is not very likely so the next step up is to at least provide more advanced training for the people who will be carrying?

STATIST GET OUT, REEEEE.

No, but seriously, the problem you're offering is one of definition, and one of moral standard.

For instance, in Illinois CC is legalized, but there are no gun ranges in the city of Chicago that are truly open to people. So, the city has defacto outlawed CC for its citizens. You're asking the state to set a bar for what is legal in what is supposedly an inalienable right.

As for shits for brains, are shits for brains not entitled to self defense? If not, why do we let them vote or interact with society at large?

Finally, with all this said and done, would it actually do a fucking thing? Hell, I'd honestly side with you more if

>Go to public school
>Go to a citizenship class
>Get taught basic gun safety, legal rights, how to vote and pay taxes

But no. You're putting the responsibility back on the private individual to seek an inconvenient certification so you feel safer around your fellow man while the government puts up barriers to limit citizen's rights.
>>

>>
>>29715167
>Thoughts on qualifications on gun ownership/carrying
In a perfect world, yes, requiring people to either take a safety class or show that they are knowledgeable of gun safety would be great. However, we don't live in a perfect world and there is historical precedent of systems that put barriers between people purchasing a gun like that being abused in the US, so no.

The tests are so ridiculously easy only a brain dead moron could fail them. But I sitll have to pay money every 5 years just to prove to the state that I am not a brain dead moron.

Let that sink in. I have to PAY money to express my 2nd Amendment RIGHTS. 25 dollars to the state for a sham of a test just to own a gun.

Opinions are like assholes but since you asked:

1. "indiscriminate" weapons should be banned, which they are.
2. There should be no regulation period for owning and having guns.
3. The 2nd amendment guarantees the right to walk around (to bear) with guns, uninfringed.

Here's where people are going to attack me. I do not think safety training is an "infringement" and if you are going to carry a gun you need to understand what it means to have a safe back drop, when it's legal to shoot, basic rules of firearm safety etc... So yes, I'm all for a required coarse to carry a gun. In fact, I think it should be tough enough, including competency testing, to make it just slightly prestigious. We'll call it a one time firearms certification that you have to get. Then you can carry open, or concealed, pretty much anywhere. That's how it would work if I were king.

Furthermore, I think there should be levels of accomplishment or certifications you can get on your firearms certification like "master marksman", "situation awareness accreditation", "ballistics safety expert" etc... These would be administered either by the civilian marksmanship program or the sheriff's office and the fees would be nominal but adequate to offset most of the cost. It would be mandatory to have the classes every other month at the minimum. The point would be to ad prestige to gun ownership beyond the basic safety training and to encourage greater competency among the gun community.

These things will never happen though because people either want more regulation with more background checks (read as registry) and an outright ban or on the other side, no rules at all. So this is just like, my opinion man.

Sounds like a bad idea. The M4A1 and M9 are to expensive and take to long to produce for that role. How about just a manually operated pistol carbine made entirely out of stampings sans the barrel (as if the locking surfaces can be made out of stampings it would be cheaper/faster to make than a straight blowback gun) so we can keep costs down since you would need to crank out ~10,000 per day (3,650,000 per year)? Even if you were just making FP-45 Liberators you'd need ~33,000 people working year round to put out enough (actually less due to the advances in automation, but still).

If you have not had your rights stripped via due process (you are not a felon and have not been adjudicated mentally deficient in court) then congratulations, you can into gun. The only legal way your rights can be stripped of life, liberty, or property is via due process as set forth by the 5th amendment. You are also to be considered innocent until proven guilty. Stealing away someone's rights without them doing anything wrong or having their day in court is about as anti-american as it gets.

The problem we have today is collectivists trying to put a collectivist spin on everything about the constitution when it's intended to protect the rights of the individual. They see one guy do something bad and assume everyone who likes X thing must be the same. They don't get how intensely stupid that is.

>who have no reason
It's a right, you don't need a reason.

When talking about a constitutional right what you feel like about it has dick all to do with it and is a horrible framework for thought on the subject.

Felons shouldn't be banned from owning guns.
The moment they leave prison, they've repaid their debt to society.

Your line of thinking was already tried in Britain, where mantras of "competency" and "suitability" replaced the rights-centered view on firearms.

It didn't end well.

You mean like some "common sense" gun control laws?

Yeah, no. Get fucked.

how about no

Actually several supreme Court cases stated that vehicles for not commercial use fall under right to free travel and can not be regulated.
>>
>>29720496
I can't agree more. Felons not being permitted to own guns is a new concept that needs to go. It's just another way to disarm a portion of the population.
>>
>>29715167
I only want enhanced punishments for people who choose not to seek training and then go on to fuck up.
>>
>>29722833

They also state that if you sign your right away to be governed by getting a license, you will be governed.
The right to travel was thought to be so self evident it didn't make it into law as a right for the same reason that arms almost didn't.

>>29720496
It's an issue I'm torn on. Non-violent felons have no reason to be denied and it totally is bullshit. Violent felons on the other hand have already proven they'll use force against someone, potentially lethal depending on the crime. That's a point where you ought to have to earn that back rather than get it back the moment you exit the facility.

My point though was that in the current system that's how you get your rights stripped.

>I feel like there needs to be at least basic training and a thorough background check

Criminals buy their guns on the black market. They are never subject to training requirements or background checks.

I don't want a situation where good guys decide not to get a gun because it's a hassle to go through a training class and pay extra for a BG check. Meanwhile, Jamal just has to head over to Tyrone's house and give him a hunnid and an ounce of weed for a hipoint.

What the fuck do you think necessitating qualifiers like mandatory gun training and the like are? I know gungrabbers are retarded but holy shit. Fucking mental gymnasts.

It is not the responsibility of the state to save her citizens from their own incompetence. Furthermore, if you empower the state to restrict things like gun ownership or carrying rights, you empower her to do this on ANY criteria. You may agree with one definition of who is unfit to carry a weapon, but you are unlikely to agree when that definition includes people like you. Never forget that Hitler disarmed the Jews.
>>
I support the idea of having some sort mandatory basic gun safety class, but it should be free of charge, because I think that a fee would discriminate against low income citizens, and without background checks, because those are useless.

Reminder that the "well regulated" part of "well regulated militia" actually means "well trained", so it wouldn't be an infringement if implemented properly.

>>29715753
This is just as fucking stupid as the gun control OP is pushing for. The government doesn't buy anything for Americans. It steals their money and then redistributes it how it sees fit. It's like getting robbed then feeling happy the robber buys you some bread worth half of what he stole from you. How the fuck does he know how much bread you have at home already?

We should have gun ed in all public schools just like sex ed. No additional training required.

>>29724799
>"well regulated militia" actually means "well trained"
It meant that their weapons were in working order.

>>29724829
This 100%. At the VERY least kids should know how to check if the firearm is loaded, how to unload it, etc.

>>29724799
>he thinks things are "free"

The term you're looking for is "tax-payer funded."

And have fun passing that law. Liberals love to tax everyone else to death to pay for shit nobody wants, but try to get them to chip in for that and you'd be voted out of office by every stupid cunt soccermom in the country.

Only way to do it would be to make it a class in high schools, but again, good luck with that. The amount of total bullshit, let alone liberal propaganda they "teach" kids in those is insane. If you need permission slips to watch violent movies think how many stupid bitches would keep their kids out of those classes.

You obviously haven't talked to many modern leftists. They either actually believe it's free because the government can just print more money, or they'll just tax those evil 1%ers more to cover it. It's dangerous terminology because stupid kids actually believe it.
