A Matter of Time

Gun purchases would be limited to one per month and anyone selling a gun would have to get a background check on the prospective buyer under gun control plans an Illinois House committee endorsed Wednesday.

If one gun a month is good, wouldn't one gun a year be better?

Just asking, because if you buy into the "logic"...

What would be even better yet is just one gun, period.

Who needs two guns?

I can say I have never bought more than one gun a day. If I had the funds available, though...... For no other reason than it pisses off the hoplophobes.

Another move in the direction of prohibiting private firearms ownership. Nowhere do they say that they will stop with this. Next year it will be one gun every three months, then once a year, then every five years. Then they'll say that guns never really wear out, so one per lifetime should suffice. Then no guns at all because, "who really needs a gun to begin with?"
These are people who believe that no one needs a gun, ever.

I always go the other way. They justify their "one gun a month" limit by saying "only criminals would want to buy 10 or 20 guns at a time".

To which my retort is: "then why one gun a month. Why not just one gun at a time, or one a day or one a week. Why the arbritrary one gun a month limit when the problem as you cite it is criminals buying 10 or 20 at a time?"

I've never gotten a satisfactory answer to that...they generally get quiet, mutter a little bit and then say something like "you just don't GET it".

It will be one gun per person, and that limited to a flintlock musket. Then they can say they preserved the 2A while effectively destroying it.

If you are in a hole stop digging. We should recognize and rejoice that the idiot banners are all tactics and no strategy.
We have Parker.
If they loosen the D.C. rules we have only one courts opinion. If SCOTUS says that its an individual right. Well, Shall not be infringed is pretty clear.

AKs are about $30 in most of Africa, shipping should be about the same.
