Do you recall the below being addressed to you, and Zombieguy 1987 both?
@Zombieguy1987
@Applesauce
Why do the two of you view the below points of view as irrelevant?
Do you two maybe view the ATF as irrelevant?
Do you two maybe view the FBI as irrelevant as well?
The theme of the forum;
"Should America have gun control?"
https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/gun-control-act
From their website:
"Gun Control Act
Gun Control Act of 1968
This Legislation regulated interstate and foreign commerce in firearms, including importation, "prohibited persons", and licensing provisions.
Assassinations And Gun Control
After the assassinations of President John Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Gun Control Act is passed and imposes stricter licensing and regulation on the firearms industry, establishes new categories of firearms offenses, and prohibits the sale of firearms and ammunition to felons and certain other prohibited persons. It also imposes the first Federal jurisdiction over "destructive devices," including bombs, mines, grenades and other similar devices. Congress reorganizes ATU into the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division (ATTD) and delegates to them the enforcement of the Gun Control Act.
Incorporated Acts of the GCA
https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/nics#External-Resources
From their website:
"National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, is all about saving lives and protecting people from harm—by not letting guns fall into the wrong hands. It also ensures the timely transfer of firearms to eligible gun buyers.
Mandated by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 and launched by the FBI on November 30, 1998, NICS is used by Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) to instantly determine whether a prospective buyer is eligible to buy firearms. Before ringing up the sale, cashiers call in a check to the FBI or to other designated agencies to ensure that each customer does not have a criminal record or isn’t otherwise ineligible to make a purchase. More than 230 million such checks have been made, leading to more than 1.3 million denials.
NICS is located at the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division in Clarksburg, West Virginia. It provides full service to FFLs in 30 states, five U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. Upon completion of the required Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Form 4473, FFLs contact the NICS Section via a toll-free telephone number or electronically on the Internet through the NICS E-Check System to request a background check with the descriptive information provided on the ATF Form 4473. NICS is customarily available 17 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays (except for Christmas). Please be advised that calls may be monitored and recorded for any authorized purpose"
"You’re brainwashed by leftist media"
"Not liars, but they're being brainwashed by leftist media to push gun control."
(The 200,000 people who voluntarily went to the event, are liars as well?)
"Brainwashed..."
I was there, are you calling me a liar as well?
"Brainwashed (Slightly ignorant at that)"
@Zombieguy1987:
Where is your real factual evidence to support your brainwashed points of view at?
From the ATF, FBI, the police department in your own town?
Here's a thought, you could use
the provided websites, to see if the (March For Our Lives survivors or members) are mentioned on their websites?
What say you, both of you?
The above, is addressing the both of you.
So then, this was your next response:
@TTKDB
"I view you as irrelevant, hence my lack of replies to you other than insults, take the hint."
Then I followed up with the below:
@Applesauce
Again, why do you, maybe view the ATF as irrelevant?
And why do you, maybe view the FBI as irrelevant?
From you:
"I view you as irrelevant, hence my lack of replies to you other than insults, take the hint."
Take what hints?
What an original way to dodge the questions, addressed to you in regards to the (ATF/ Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) and the (FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation)?
Then your response, was the below,
"you are making false allegations as to my views, cease and desist your assumptions."
Below is my response to you:
Show me, where I've done any such thing?
Here is your most recent response:
"Show all the readers where I ever made or eluded to those claims you made.
since I have never addressed or discussed the ATF or FBI you are a liar."
@Applesauce:
All I did, was ask you some questions, and I haven't made any false allegations as to your views.
Your responses are yours, I didn't have anything to do with how you, responded to them?

Do you mean the magazines that go with the weapons, or weapons themselves?
Looks like they are talking about the magazines?
Because if the gun control that you're talking about, is in reference to gun magazines specifically, then wouldn't that be a separate conversation from (magazine control) verses gun control?

you claim to know my view which you don't and lied about in the framing of your questions. If you had asked me my thoughts on the ATF and FBI that would be one thing. Let's examine your lies shall we?
you asked, "why do you" that phrase is an accusation, assumption and attributes motive, then you go on "maybe view the * as irrelevant" just because you stick in maybe doesn't change the fact that it's a statement and claiming I have a view which you lied about. You can't cover up your lie, not even a good try. Stick with it though and show everyone who you truly are.
So let's save some typing, now you'll play dumb and not understand marking a post as "irrelevant" is saying that it's irrelevant to the topic and not what is actually said. A post can be true and I could even agree with the content but it doesn't mean it's relevant to the topic/thread, but you know that already, play dumb if you like either way you make yourself look worse and worse.

Is any assualt rifle, relatively viewed as worthless, with the factory provided magazine that goes with it?
Getting into the weeds, with how some gun owners, maybe view the manufactured accessories to a weapon?
I've gone into plenty of gun shops, and whats evident, is that your standard semi automatics, are sold with a factory provided clip to house the ammunition in right?
I've seen it with a slew of them, the 9mm, 45 Cal, 40 Cal and so on.
I've seen the magazines that go with an A-15, you know, the factory provided magazines?
So the probable gripe is maybe with the clips or magazines, that hold more ammo than the factory provided clips or magazines do then right?
So, is that the probable gripe, when it comes to the extra capacity clips or magazines, the probable gun owner politics in how an extra capacity clip or magazine that is bought to be used for the factory made A-15, or 9mm, 45 Cal, 40 Cal, or even the 357 magum for that matter?
CYDdharta, is that situation, what the apparent gripe is over, it's about the extra capacity clips or magazines?

they don't understand what "standard" means, in that the stuff that comes with the gun is standard equipment. If a handgun is designed to hold 17 rounds then a 17 round magazine would be 'standard' for that gun. Automobiles come with standard sized tires....

A Smith and Wesson M&P 10 Sport is a standard rifle.
Your mentioned weapon, looks (assualt rifle) like to me?
So an assault rifle is a standard rifle?
So a lever action rifle isn't a standard rifle then?
A Glock Model 17 is a standard handgun.
The Glock 17, looks like a semiautomatic pistol to me?
So the 22, 32, 38, 44, or 357 revolver isn't a standard pistol?
Deeper into the weeds, it would seem?
So somewhere along the way, the original M-16 assualt rifle (that was used for military combat in Vietnam) and the other assualt rifles that have followed since then, have been decreed as the standard rifle?
Who thought that up?
So a lever action rifle, isn't good enough then to defend ones own property with?
Or a revolver, isn't good enough then to do the same when it comes to defending ones own property with as well?
So basically, if a weapon doesn't have a clip or a magazine being fed into the frame of the weapon, it doesn't count as a standard rifle, or revolver then maybe right?
A hypothetical question, how many rounds from an assault rifle, would be well to defend ones own property with?
A second hypothetical question, how many rounds from a semiautomatic pistol, would be well enough to defend ones own property with?

So all the government has to do is exterminate one of their own, like John F. Kennedy, then pass more restrictions on us the sheeple!?
Create a War on Iraq and pass more stricter laws on us? But the 'Terrorists" used plastic knives to start this war, .. so how does that work?

"On the other hand, what difference does that make?"
It depends, I guess on what an individual gun owner, views as a reliable property protection weapon?
An assault rifle, with a (30 round magazine?) Or a Glock 17, with a (17 round magazine?) verses a level action rifle, or a 38 revolver?
"The printing press was about the only form of mass media available when the Constitution was written."

The original M-16 was NEVER an assault rifle, not the sense the term is used now. The original M-16 was capable of fully automatic fire. AR-15 assault rifles are NOT capable of fully automatic fire. So no, they were NEVER standard rifles unless the discussion is specifically about standard MILITARY rifles.

The United States of America always did advocate gun control.
So where does your right to own a gun come from?
Where does my right to own a gun come from?

If say (hypothetically speaking) a gun owner, owns enough weapons, to equip a platoon of citizens underneath one roof, along with say, 1,000-2,000 rounds of ammunition, what kind of a scenario could a home owner maybe be trying to equip themselves for?
And what if that (hypothetical gun owner,) lives in a neighborhood where the crime rate is fairly low to begin with?
"As for how many rounds are enough, that depends on the situation. More is better. The only thing that can be said for sure is that you can't have too many rounds for self defense."
Is more better, and a gun owner can't ever have too many rounds for self defense?
If it's OK to ask, are you maybe a prepper?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivalism
"Survivalism is a primarily American movement of individuals or groups (called survivalists or preppers) who actively prepare for emergencies, including possible disruptions in social or political order, on scales from local to international. Survivalism also encompasses preparation for personal emergencies, such as job loss or being stranded in the wild or under adverse weather conditions. The emphasis is on self-reliance, stockpiling supplies, and gaining survival knowledge and skills. Survivalists often acquire emergency medical and self-defensetraining, stockpile food and water, prepare to become self-sufficient, and build structures such as survival retreats or underground shelters that may help them survive a catastrophe.

From Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting
"2017 Las Vegas shooting
"Twenty-four firearms, a large quantity of ammunition, and numerous high-capacitymagazines capable of holding up to 100 rounds apiece were found in the suite.[1][110][111] Fourteen of the firearms were .223-caliber AR-15-type semi-automatic rifles: three manufactured by Colt, two by Daniel Defense, two by FN Herstal, two by LWRC International, two by POF-USA, one with a .223 Wylde chamber by Christensen Arms, one made-to-order by LMT, and one by Noveske. The others were eight .308-caliber AR-10-type rifles, one .308-caliber Ruger American bolt-action rifle, and one .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Model 342 revolver.[1][112][113][114] The AR-15 rifles were fitted with vertical forward grips and bump fire stocks,[1][112] the latter of which allowed for recoil to actuate their triggers at a rate of 90 rounds in 10 seconds.[115] The AR-10 rifles were equipped with various telescopic sights and mounted on bipods.[1][116][117] The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined that the firearms found in his hotel room, along with more guns found in his homes, had been legally purchased in Nevada, California, Texas, and Utah.[118] In the month preceding the shooting, he had attempted to purchase tracer ammunition, but the gun dealer he approached did not have the item in stock.[119]He bought tracer ammunition from a private seller at a Phoenix, Arizona gun show.[120]
During subsequent investigations, ammonium nitrate (often used in improvised explosive devices) was found in the trunk of his Hyundai Tucson SUV, along with 1,600 rounds of ammunition and 50 pounds (23 kg) of Tannerite, a binary explosive used to make explosive targets for gun ranges.[121][122]Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said that while Paddock had "nefarious intent" with the material, he did not appear to have assembled an explosive device.[119][123] "
@CYDdharta
@Applesauce
The Vegas shooter apparently had 1,600 rounds of ammunition, along with 24 weapons?
"On the night of October 1, 2017, a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Perpetrator Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada, fired more than 1,100 rounds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel, killing 58 people and leaving 851 injured, over 400 of them by gunfire and hundreds more in the ensuing panic. The shooting occurred between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m. PDT; about an hour later Paddock was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His motive remains unknown."

"Do you have a point?"
The below is the point:
1,600 rounds, is a lot of rounds, wouldn't you think?
A hypothetical amount of ammunition, 2,000 rounds, is a lot of rounds, wouldn't you think?
Or if a hypothetical individual has 2,000 plus rounds of ammunition, and say a mix of 25 semiautomatic weapons, rifles and pistols, would you or would not maybe view a cache like that for a single Individual or a handful of pro gun Individuals as a bit much, for any Individual whether they live in a city, of say almost a million people, or in a town of say 20,000-50,000 people?
"I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but yes, private ownership of both guns and ammo are protected by the 2nd Amendment."
So if a pro gun Individual or Individuals have a cache of 2,000 plus rounds, and a mix of 25 semiautomatic rifles, and pistols, the Second Amendment as it was written back in the day, individually entitles any gun owner today, to have 2,000 plus rounds of ammunition, and 25 semiautomatic weapons at any given time in any city USA?
Because I wonder how many non weapons owning US citizens, may view a gun owner, owning that amount of ammunition and weapons at any given time?
That kind of a question, would make for a very interesting poll question, wouldn't you say?

"do you disagree that 2000 rounds isn't much?
"If you won't answer i will have to assume you don't disagree unless you say otherwise,"
Did I give you any permissions to assume anything about what I don't disagree with you on?
"but that doesn't fit your narrative so you won't answer, which is fine."
I don't have a narrative, (Other than being pro community, pro family, pro second amendment, and pro law oriented.)

your purpose is to keep threads alive, you don't fool me, this is why you post the same b.s. and never add any substance, so I figure I may as well play your game, fun isn't it.
what does it mean to you to be 'pro second amendment'?
how does it align or differ from groups like the N.R.A. or you can pick whatever pro gun group you like.

"How many firearms do you think is a proper limit? What criteria are you using to make that judgement and is it scientific? Likewise for ammo. BTW, the federal government doesn't seem to think 2,000 rounds of ammo is particularly notable, the Civilian Marksmanship Program sells ammo by the 1,000 round case."
The theme of the forum is about gun control.
So how do your pro gun oriented questions have anything to do with the theme of the forum:
"Should America have gun control?"
How many firearms do you think is a proper limit?
Why do you think, that your above question, is pertinent to the gun control conversation?
"What criteria are you using to make that judgement and is it scientific? Likewise for ammo."

"BTW, the federal government doesn't seem to think 2,000 rounds of ammo is particularly notable, the Civilian Marksmanship Program sells ammo by the 1,000 round case "
What Office of the Federal Government, told you CYDdharta, that the federal government doesn't seem to think 2,000 rounds of ammunition is particularly notable?
And does the (Civilian Marksmanship Program) selling ammo by the 1,000 round case, have anything to do with the theme of the forum?

"did I ask for permission?"
No, you didn't.
"do I need to?"
Yes.
Because, I've not given Applesauce, any permissions to meddle around with my words, because the brain in his own skull has apparently in a sense, self decided to do so, as the case apparently seem to be?
The above is a set of questions, based upon your individually chosen narratively driven actions, right Applesauce?
"no, therefore I will assume you agreed with me that 2000 rounds is not a lot, unless and until I hear differently from you, change my mind."
Again, you don't have my permission to meddle around with my words, now do you?
"your purpose is to keep threads alive, you don't fool me, this is why you post the same b.s. and never add any substance, so I figure I may as well play your game, fun isn't it."
What are your thoughts on the Vegas shooter, allegedly killing innocent people with guns?
"what does it mean to you to be 'pro second amendment'?"
It's self explanatory:
(I'm pro community, pro family, pro second amendment, and pro law abiding oriented.)
I believe that when an individual with a gun, commits a crime with gun violence, that that offender, used the second amendment to infringe on the rights of the innocent people that they either harmed, or killed via their gun violence crimes.
"how does it align or differ from groups like the N.R.A. or you can pick whatever pro gun group you like."
Is the NRA participating in this forums debate?
Or any other pro gun group, for that matter?
Why don't you apply your games with them, and see what their answers are?

"You brought up Paddock's guns and ammo collection."
"Why did you think it's pertinent?"
"Stephen Craig Paddock (April 9, 1953 – October 1, 2017)[2] was an American mass murderer responsible for the 2017 Las Vegas shooting,[3][4][5] in which he opened fire into a crowd of approximately 22,000 concertgoers attending a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.[6][7] The incident is the deadliest mass shooting by a lone shooter in United States history, with 58 fatalities (excluding Paddock) and 851 injuries (including over 400 by gunfire).[1] Paddock committed suicide in his hotel room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.[8] "
He allegedly killed 58 innocent people with alleged gun violence?
The killing of 58 innocent people, isn't a pertinent conversation point in regards to the gun control conversation?
Or the students and the adults who have been killed by the various individuals via their (school) mass shooting violence?
"My initial reaction, if you recall, was: Do you have a point?"
Their murders are point.
The offenders killing them via their various gun violence crimes, are the point.
Or do you maybe, view the above points of view as invalid, to the gun control conversation?

you seemed confused or delusional if you believe you can tell me what to think and say, ask permission LOL good one, if you disagree with what I said just simply say so and try to change my mind, very simple, even for you. If I'm mistaken let's clear that up. Unlike your lying you may correct me if I'm wrong on what I think we agree upon.

It's not my purpose to change your mind, is it?
Your "mind," has no bearing on my life whatsoever, now does it?
Just as my "mind," has no bearing on your life whatsoever, now does it?
But when an offender, illegaly uses the second amendment to infringe on the lives of innocent people by committing their various gun violence crimes, against innocent people, the various views of those lost lives have been changed forever, haven't they Applesauce?

you are exceedingly obtuse
if a criminal who is prohibited from having a gun, therefore does not have a 2a right "commits various gun violence crimes" how does he "use the second amendment to infringe on the lives of innocent people"?
you only need to change my mind if you don't agree that 2000 rounds of ammo isn't all that much, if you agree that 2000 isn't much there's nothing further you need to do
