and a limit to the number of weapons.

No one needs 40-some weapons like the Vegas mass killer had.

Way past time to clamp down on gun fetishers.

If someone owns more than one gun, they should be required to purchase insurance. Part of this fund should go to pay for the costs to society from gun violence ... estimated at about $250 billion per year.

equal to the total value of they're personal property and posessions which would be forfeited.

Most of them take themselves out, at which point they dont care about the dollar value of what they leave behind

And in the mean time, Civil suites by the families of those who have lost lives and been damaged will clear any residual dollar value and more.

I think we ought to be looking at a so called "sin tax".

You buy the guns, you buy the ammunition, the paraphernalia.. every purchase you pay a tax, the amounts of which are calibrated to make sure that they are covering all the losses of the people and families of people who your fellow shooters harm, at least in as far as money can make those losses right.

We dont need an insurance company making money off the process. Lets keep it simple, non profit, and directly legally responsible to those who will be harmed.

A person can only physically handle one or two weapons at a given time. The fact that this guy had 17 guns in the room didn't make it any worse/deadlier. He used the one gun to spray down into the crowd. Best I can assume is the other 16 guns were there for emotional support?

Point being, somebody with one gun can do the same damage as somebody with ten because in either case involving a shooting... both shooters are only shooting one gun because the rest are laying around unused.

inoperable, thus the need for more of them.

If you finally going to live our your deadly fantasy and kill and injury nearly 600 people, 600 FUCKING PEOPLE, you're gonna need to have to have your array of killing weapons at the ready dontcha know.

I know that sounds horrible, horrible, but that's where we are in this country, discussing whether a person should have the ability, because of our society's negligence in registering and limiting the number of deadly weapon's a person can possess, should have 1 or maybe 20 assault weapons.

That's crazier than Paddock since we know this crap doesn't happen in other countries where there is effective gun control.

We are being held hostage by the NRA, gun fetishers and those who make the argument that control would not stop the mass killings.

Bullshit.

What are we gonna believe, our lying eyes as we look at the statistics of gun deaths from England or Japan vs the United States, or the gun fetishers who argue for no gun control.

I believe my lying eyes.

Right there is what happened and will happen again. Our Country is gun sick with gun sickos.

Horde has a completely different meaning.

It's insane.

from civil suits. Guns are just like tobacco, the profiteers have created an atmosphere that promotes the sale and use of guns in this fashion. Just look at the ads gun manufacturers and dealers run -- guns make you a man, this gun ensures your safety, etc.
