The way I'm seeing it right now is like this... While the Constitution protects the right to bear arms, it doesn't specifically state one has a "right" to a fully automatic or semi automatic weapon.

These ideas have been on my mind today.

Thoughts?

Fully automatic weapons are already banned.

As stated previously, I would be for either banning or regulating bump stocks and trigger cranks.

I would support background checks for purchases, including private sales. I do NOT support using the No-Fly list, as it is arbitrary and unconstitutional. I believe current background checks include watch lists, though I may be wrong.

Unfortunately, NONE of what has been discussed previously or currently would have saved the 59 who died last week.

Which is why I don't think any of the laws should change.

More gun laws would only be burdensome to those who abide by the law.
More gun laws would only restrict the freedoms of those who do want to abide by the law.

Another argument I've read against banning bump stocks is you can make one with a 3D printer.

All good points.
