I do not have a thorough understanding of all of the federal or state gun laws.

I can tell you that GA is an open carry everywhere state!
Most people here do not mind seeing pistols at the Golden Corral or Waffle houses.
When people start brandishing the Ak47s and AR15s, it starts to worry people in a bad way.
This is where the anti-gun groups get upset.
Showing little kids at Walmart their AR 15.
Not good, when the parents do not own a gun.
Anyway, I digressed.

I have not had much time to do deeper research on the dynamics of current gun laws.
I do need to read up on it, so I can intelligently respond to other people in this forum.

From other posters, that I have spoken with recently.
1. Universal open carry/conceal law for the USA across state lines.
2. Reduced NFA fees
3. Modify access to Gun Free zones - I have proposed having the NRA keeping a registry for all "approved" gun owners to enter into gun free zones. Most gun owners are law abiding citizens and could be authorized to enter the zone, if they met specific criteria.

I like your extensive vocabulary, it keeps me on my toes!
Peace!

Is The NRA Wrong? New Study Shows Guns Rarely Used For Self-Defense aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #8

Why are you bringing up the NRA, nobody else is? DonP Apr 2016 #9

What's this "we" nonsense? SecularMotion Apr 2016 #10

Oooh look, it can speak DonP Apr 2016 #11

Wow, a response Duckhunter935 Apr 2016 #12

Fair enough - Although credible sources could be a matter of opinion. aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #16

"Or should we do nothing and watch the numbers rise? " DonP Apr 2016 #18

One firearm death is one too many..... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #19

"how can we move to a consensus to protect the 2nd and the rest of Americans?" beevul Apr 2016 #20

An open minded discussion allows for good conversation...... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #23

Except anti-gunners do not have open minds. beevul Apr 2016 #25

Gun Control talking points..... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #32

Yup. beevul Apr 2016 #33

All we need is an unbiased SC who rejects the monstrosity known as "Heller" and Actor Apr 2016 #26

Why do you think the 2d limits gun ownership to militia members TeddyR Apr 2016 #29

In other words, you want a biased court. beevul Apr 2016 #34

"The majority of Americans DO want gun control - based on polling data. " DonP Apr 2016 #24

gun studies by the VPC is like a climate change study gejohnston Apr 2016 #13

All very good points TeddyR Apr 2016 #14

The control side has to buy into some myths DonP Apr 2016 #15

The "Do Nothing" approach isn't working to reduce firearm deaths aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #17

"The "Do Nothing" approach..." beevul Apr 2016 #21

Of course we do nothing. aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #27

You can stop with the pretense. beevul Apr 2016 #31

Unfettered access to guns? - Sounds like the middle east! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #38

Ahh, more pretense. beevul Apr 2016 #42

OK - maybe unfetterred was not the best word to use aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #43

It was predictable. beevul Apr 2016 #49

Ahhh, there's that word again; Compromise - "What are you willing to give up?" DonP Apr 2016 #52

Ed Zachary. beevul Apr 2016 #53

I think they just desperately want to think of themselves as "moderates" on gun control DonP Apr 2016 #55

I can appreciate conjecture........but........ aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #56

Its not conjecture. beevul Apr 2016 #59

Simple Definition of conjecture : an opinion or idea formed without proof or sufficient evidence aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #61

"I have come here...with the objective of trying to draw some consensus" I doubt that very much friendly_iconoclast Apr 2016 #67

Glad you came to post! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #70

OK, which *extant* gun regulation(s) would you be willing to give up, in exchange for others? friendly_iconoclast Apr 2016 #71

You've pointed out once again the gun controller's fraudulent version of 'reasonableness': friendly_iconoclast Apr 2016 #73

Almost missed this post aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #79

an assault weapon is any gun gejohnston Apr 2016 #39

Interesting talking points on assault weapons aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #41

still not one valid argument gejohnston Apr 2016 #44

Valid argument? Who's arguing? aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #48

"Assault weapons" are civilian non-automatics (mostly small caliber), not machineguns. benEzra Apr 2016 #50

I can appreciate being specific in this forum aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #58

They are indeed rifles. The most common rifles in U.S. homes, in fact. benEzra Apr 2016 #68

Thank you benEzra! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #77

Shrug? Straw Man Apr 2016 #22

Good points aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #40

A few more clarifications. Straw Man Apr 2016 #45

Thanks aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #47

You're welcome. Straw Man Apr 2016 #54

I didn't say anything about doing nothing gejohnston Apr 2016 #35

This is a perfect example of why... beevul Apr 2016 #36

Very interesting analysis aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #46

"Assault weapons" are legal in Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, Hungary, Switzerland, Finland... benEzra Apr 2016 #51

Informative post! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #57

Is your goal saving lives or culture war? gejohnston Apr 2016 #60

Hmmm...it is reducing deaths, but it is quickly becoming a culture war aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #62

It has always been about culture gejohnston Apr 2016 #64

Thank you gejohnston aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #66

Were it not for the ongoing Holy War against lawful and responsible ownership, benEzra Apr 2016 #63
