Do you think gun owners should be required to train and take a test to get the required license to own a gun?


I'm not against it. But if I feel like if we need to be licensed to carry weapons a lot of the restrictions already in place need to be removed

Like what?


I'll just give my own hypotheticals.

Say we go through training, testing, and checks, and since cars are being used as the analogy, these renewals would be every 2-3 years under default circumstances. This would also likely mean an ID, probably federal since that's the background check every FFL-used firearm purchase is checked against. This license should also be able to be revoked for various reasons.

What that should get is a 99% eliminated check for those who have this license, which would amount to scanning a barcode on the license itself to make sure it's valid. If this also happens, interstate purchasing should also be a thing, and equally as painless for these licensed individuals.

Also on the table for this federal license and training should be removal of California-compliant style laws and firearms. Default all firearms laws to a single standard, which I would say use ATF rules.

And since these licenses would also come with an extensive background check at testing and renewal stages, would short-barrel rifles, suppressors, and select-fire without full-auto also be on the table?

what do you mean, "replace" democracy? any type of socialism is inherently more democratic than capitalism, and full communism is anarchist and ultimately based on direct democracy


What the hell you actually think socialism is democratic, the only way you can achieve socialism is force.

and the only way to maintain capitalism is force. what's your point

And your last sentence doesn't make any sense to me. I just gave you an example of how it used to be that only nation states or wealthy institutions could afford supercomputing, and how I can now hop onto any laptop and spin up supercomputing clusters for barely any cost per hour. <_< I mean, if you have an interest in supercomputing and yet can't find the few dollars it costs to get some infrastructure spun up you probably have bigger problems than capitalism vs socialism.


That is the current model. It's not that the absolute cost of the service is expensive, it's that there is a profit incentive to restricting access to these services for an inflated fee.

With the dismantling of net neutrality, I have little faith that cheap Internet services are going to hold up in the long term. Maybe I am just being cynical, but when there is a profit motive do to something, it's essentially an inevitability in our system that it will be taken advantage of eventually.


You are being cynical. Internet will get cheaper with time, not more expensive. This is because more players will enter the market.
