What the Unicorn Worshipers ignore is the actual number of mass killings that have occurred across the span of history without the use of firearms. It's not surprising because Hondo and the rest of his ilk can't understand numbers in the millions.
When New Guinea tribesmen were first asked why they they fought with neighboring tribes the most frequent answer was that they couldn't remember...they had just always done so. And, they hated each other; for no definable reason.
He'll be wanting to ban or register typewriters and copy machines as soon as he discovers folks can write and reproduce material he doesn't agree with.

FRN's getting less useful all the time. Expand the black market further, KKK's, the sooner we all know how to live without your vaunted permissions the more of us will survive what you have made inevitable with your appetite for power.

Well you are definitely a person of limited mental capacity; I've also seen where technology has ruined this society. I truly believe that you drank a huge cup of stupid before you proposed this. As Bugs said, "what a maroon." I thank God every day that I don't live in your neck o the woods.
PO'd American- Honda didn't come up with this. It's just a rehash of Kevin De Leon's 'Ghost Gun' effort. Remember? Those evil Ghost guns that have "the 'bility with a thirty caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets in a half a second. Thirty magazine clip in half a second". His words, not mine.
I'm glad you don't live here too. I wouldn't wish this place on anybody. It's truly run by liars and idiots.
Anon @ 2:31 PM Much too late to even consider disarming the small portion of the population who would fight to preserve their God given rights. They ain't got enough balls or guns to make that happen. Hell; we've been building "assault" style weapons in bulk for more than a decade....and buying up the ammo to supply them. I recall them carping about the measly 4 thousand rounds the Musies of San Bernardino had....I know guys who buy ammo by the pallet. Just add this jokers name to the list and move on. III/0317
The US Congress passed a law banning new machine guns from getting into "civilian" hands in 1986. Machine guns are now effectively nonexistent for the "average" shooter (25000 average price). Such laws banning new manufacture for "civilians" will disarm the "average" AR-15 AR-10 owner ten years sooner. No new receivers, no weapons in twenty years. Not only would this be one of the most effective anti-gun laws passed since Reagan and Bush 1 waged "operation trigger lock" in the 80's and early 90's.(it ended with WACO) It would be the beginning of the end for gun ownership. ---Ray
FIN, ever heard of a "zip gun"? I expect more'n a few crimes have been committed the them. Set off a .22lr cartridge at the base of a cop's skull and you instantly become the possessor of a small arsenal - including a select fire M-16 variant.

Humans roll like that.

And then, registration of home made pointy sticks.
Has a "homemade firearm" EVER been used in a crime?

He misspelled "national lecture on property theft"

Mike our country is collapsing and the clowns in power know it. That's why they want to disarm the people of every means we have to resist or survive.

FIN 1106, yes, at least once. I think the UCLA killer built his own AR.
I think he stabbed four and shot two of the dead, but only the GUN CRIME got much news coverage.
@Po'd
Apologies for my post, miss read.
Long day

No luck with that!

If we actually build a wall around Mexico, we need to extend it to California as well.
