Correct the NFA is not a gun control law, it is tax law. That is why it is found in Title 26, United States Code section 5801 et. seq., which is the Internal Revenue Code and enforced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, formerly under the Department of the Treasury, but now overseen by the Department of Justice. Gun control laws are under Title 18.
Perhaps less an issue of normality than and issue of a claim that 100,000 death and injuries are somehow justified to indulge the whim and convenience of a third of the population.
What definition of DGU are they using? Sounds like it is actually pulling the trigger and shooting. We have never said that only shooting someone counts as a DGU. Yet another lie.Self-defense gun use myth:
Bullshit.Self-defense gun use myth:
You get no say in what I or anyone else needs.
What a silly strawman
You have the right to not own a gun. I have the right to own a gun. You don’t get a say in whether I own one or not, or what kind I own.
You don’t get a say in what anyone needs.
You seem to believe that your freedom is limitless. If you decide you "need" something, then no one has any right to stand in your way?
I don't follow your reasoning in that rant. What is your point?
That is a good summary of the pro-gun arguments as it really comes down to "I want it".

And "hearing gunshots" is "exposed to gun violence". That is some graduate level reaching there.
More than one-third (34.4%) said they had known someone who had died by firearm suicide. In the past year, 32.7% said they had heard gunshots in their neighborhood. Although only 2.1% of the sample indicated they had been shot, 59.5% of all instances of defensive gun use during which an individual shot at a perceived threat occurred among those who had previously been shot themselves.
Self-defense firearms are primarily an inducement to use of lethal force unnecessarily (especially under SYG laws), risky for the owner, an opportunity for impulsive actions, a risk for loss or theft of firearm, a danger to bystanders (as in SLC recently), and a demonstration of poor judgment. Of course, they do signal Trump support and a disdain for the safety of others.What definition of DGU are they using? Sounds like it is actually pulling the trigger and shooting.

If that were the case then 1-They would have written it to protect the rights of the states and state militias, and not, THE PEOPLE, and 2-the 2nd Amendment would not have been secured 2nd of 10 in the BILL OF RIGHTS that guarantees the rights of THE PEOPLE, and 3-It would have been addressed as the standard for the last 250 years and not just as some internet offering by some random ant-gun internet nobody that apparently hasnt read anything of the framers actual intent regarding private ownership of firearms.
The more important statistic is that most homicides are committed with firearms.
Why do you dismiss the entire spectrum of firearm violence?
Strawman
Nobody gets a say in how i exercise my constitutional rights, based on what they think i need.
Since firearms are optional property with little practical use, restrictions on firearms are indicated.
Cars are not firearms.
Puzzling.
The NRA indoctrination has been successfully adopted apparently.They wanted a populace armed so that when the Fed Govt went beyond what it was supposed to be they could rise up and fight back
That's pretty clear I'd think to anyone who'd looked at American History.
What they didn't anticipate was the degrading morality of the nation where people were so violent and cultures encouraged violence
