Florida gets more flak than anybody because of its habit of having crazy headlines and crazy people in general.

Colt going out of business is largely do to a poor business model that was heavily reliant on government contracts. They ignored the civilian market after winning military contracts in the 70s and 80s and then found themselves behind everyone else once the government contracts dried up. Colt has been on the verge of going out of business for a long time and was only temporarily saved from bankruptcy by the uptick in military spending after 9/11. Honestly, Colt's fate was sealed in the 1980s when Glock stole the law enforcement market and Beretta won the military sidearm contract. Even with people buying AR-15s nobody is buying Colt AR-15s.

The point he is making is that in the United States its fairly well established in courts that law enforcement's duty to protect society doesn't extend to individual victims. If you actually read the Warren vs District of Columbia decision law enforcement was completely cleared of any negligence despite arriving on the scene of a major crime twice and leaving without doing any real investigating The government can't make the claim "You don't need firearms, the police will protect you" while ensuring that they are free from the repercussions of failing to do so through incompetence. The decision itself basically reaffirms what a lot of people have claimed all along: you're responsive for your own protection from crime.

Law enforcement is not legally obligated to protect individuals and cannot even be held liable for failing to do so. This is well established case law that police departments across the country fought to get put into place. An individual is responsible for his or her own protection and cannot count on law enforcement to protect them as an individual.

I suppose that's why law enforcement officers in the United States don't carry guns....oh wait. They do. All the time. Off duty or on duty.

So....my mini-14 in the picture above is okay despite firing the exact same round and actually be more compact. Never mind the fact that .223 is actually an incredibly popular varmint hunting round that the military took and applied a combat application to.

I also must say ,as someone who has worked in the correctional system, the last thing we need is more incarcerated non-violent offenders. We have prisons across the country running at twice the capacity they are designed to be because we spent the last 20 years making a felony out of every crime we could. We shouldn't be adding more on to that list.

I am going to hazard a guess and say I'd probably be doing quite a lot of paperwork if your laws were ever passed. Thankfully, I am not to worried about any gun reform being passed any time soon in the United States since my NRA membership seems to be the only thing that actually makes a difference in politics in the United States. Here in lies the biggest problem with gun control in the United States. What exactly do I gain out your proposed law? You're proposing the illusion of safety by means of control. People are still going to get firearms and its not as if making 30 round magazines illegal suddenly makes them a difficult commodity. Massachusetts banned all magazines made before the AWB and yet you can buy grandfathered 30 round magazines for $30-$40 in almost every gun store. We aren't having a discussion or even a debate on firearms, you're dictating to me what the gun laws should be. Gun rights groups have largely won this debate in every state that doesn't have a heavily liberal urban population ( New York, California, Massachusetts, Delaware, Maryland,etc). If you want to get any kind of gun reform done perhaps you should actually be more realistic about how its going to happen. Want Universal background checks? Give us universal concealed carry laws. See how that works? Give and take. I'm not sure how a "discussion" on a political topic in the United States suddenly became on side dictating to the other regardless of political realities.

Your list reads like a gun control advocate's wet dream

It got vetoed in New Hampshire by a democrat governor. The entire concept of concealed carry permits is stupid when you consider the majority of states allow you to open carry a firearm on your hip without one anyway. Putting on a coat really shouldn't make you a felon when you consider the law allows you to carry it openly. The irrational fear some people have of firearms is incredible to me, I carry conceal carry glock 19 or a glock 26 almost every day.
