    Why do we need laws against standing next to golf courses with guns? It’s already illegal to shoot the president.

        Florida has a dumbass law where you can open carry while hunting and fishing. Dude could just say he was hunting anacondas or whatever they kill in Florida

              Gators, sharks, snakes, panthers, snapping turtles, wild boar, FloridaMan…

              Also, that’s like the least insane thing about Florida. They banned open carry in public but allow permit-free(!) concealed carry. Most states allow open carry and require permits for concealed.

    This is one of those things where things probably need to get worse before a constitutional amendment would be proposed and passed, unfortunately. I mean is even the serial number requirement constitutional based on that supreme court ruling?

      The problem i see as a gun owner is that the longer sensible gun education, sensible laws and sensible programs surrounding firearms aren’t in place, the higher the chance of insane laws. Someone is going to “lose” and someone is going to “win” and it’s become so emotionally charged that it won’t end well for anyone.

        A problem is that the gun lobby is against even those basic laws of requiring basic gun safety like gun storage and they have a huge influence. I would be fine to start to require those basics and see how much that improves it. It would be a step, possibly a large one, in safety.

          The NRA used to teach gun safety, in schools. This was pushed out by antigun groups. So no it wasn’t the gun lobby…look elsewhere

          Also fuck the NRA

    One small thing about this Originalist era we’re in, at least it paves the way for historians to have a whole bunch of important expertise.
