Tennessee (Fred Thompson’s home state) give us an example of what common sense gun laws look like.
So, what would be your common sense gun laws? I would like it in writing that you’re not allowed to give a gun to a chimp.

* A silencer must be used when shooting your handguns in a crowded place.
* Never use a file to remove the serial number from a handgun, a Dremel-style tool with a carbide grinding wheel is much more effective.
* If you can’t remember if you’ve fired 5 or 6 shots, consider how lucky your target feels at the time.
All guns should be regestered, permenantly, to the first person who buys it. Included in the regestration is a digital file with the ‘bulletprint’ (the rifling properties from a discharged bullet), filed with the FBI (NOT ATF). Anytime a bullet shows up in a dead body, or a living one, the person on file is responsible for the results. Of course a stolen gun would be exempt, as would all smooth bore weapons.
The first law of gun ownership should be gun responsibility. I think.
Yay for my state! We are awesome! All other states can suck it compared to us. Although in all honesty, it’s a good thing we have Fred Thompson and common-sense gun laws because we need them to offset Algore.
I didn’t read the list at the link (yet), so forgive if it’s already been said:
* Anyone who uses a gun to commit a crime will get knocked down, publicly pantsed, and have their gun(s) taken away by someone who won’t use a gun to commit a crime.
*A silencer must be used when shootinga mime. And all mimes should be killed on sight.
*When in doubt, empty your magazine.
*Take a kid hunting.
* Do NOT take Dick Cheney hunting. Unless you are an attorney.
* Anyone who attempts/commits a crime without using a gun will be knocked down, publicly pantsed, then shot.
Eh, lets just shoot knock down, publicly pants, and shoot all criminals. Terrorism and Prison overpopulation problems solved.
-Only shoot people that really need shooting.
Common sense says that if I own something and I’m neither affecting anyone else with it nor am I threatening to affect anyone else with it, it’s none of your business that I have it.
Any American caught in public without a gun shall be pants, knocked down and branded with a “sissy” brand on his forehead or right hand.
All American citizens upon reaching the age of 5 shall know how to place 5 within a 3″ circle from 25 feet. If they don’t, Rule 1 applies.
Starting in Kindergarten, all children will be packing heat.
Children shall be taught from the time they learn to walk what a bugger-er looks like and that two in the heart and one in the head is usually sufficient to deal with such people.
Any candidate for public office shall show his weapon when asked to display it. It had better not be a sissy gun like a .22 or a .380! It should be a very manly Clint Eastwood like gun!
Any celebration for any reason is appropriately topped off by shooting firearms in the air…Always!
Any politician who utters the words “gun control” shall be pants, taken out and dipped in hot tar and feathers and rode out of town on a rail!
The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of!
Bummer. My link was linky enough to turn blue, but not linky enough to actually link to the chimp w/ gun pic.
I’m going with the only gun law that matters:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
After that, There shouldn’t be any other laws pertaining to Fire Arms, Especially on the Federal level. That’s something the people who are trying to resurrect the Assault Rifle ban should think about.
Hey ussjc, there’s nothing wrong with using a .380 as a concealed carry gun. I mean, admittedly, when I go to the woods or riding I carry either a .357 or a .44, but neither of those guns (especially the Model 629 Classic .44 Mag with the 8″ barrel) is exactly what you’d call a “concealed carry” gun.
Good samaritan law: everyone licenced to carry a fire arm shall on sight shoot anyone displaying An OBAMA 08 bumper sticker!!
No attorney shall own or bear any arm.
None of my former girlfriends shall own or bear any arm.
Any other law notwithstanding, it shall be legal to use any elected official from California, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, Michigan, or Vermont as a target.
The term “arms” in the 2nd Amendment shall mean any device that projects any form of matter or energy with the intent to “shoot” the intended target of said arms.
So, according to the 2nd Amendment with this provision, lasers, plasma rifles, particle accelerators, bazookas, howitzers, tanks, etc. – all good. And I am accepting donations.
Rubber gloves should always be used when cleaning your musket after musketing the junk of any hippie/monkey/liberal type creature even if a misfire occurs.
No first ladies bare arms shall be written or talked about no matter how big her “guns” are.
1) If you can carry it 2 miles, then it’s a gun and you can own it. If it’s too heavy to carry or comes with wheels attached, then it’s artillery, and subject to further legislation. None of this sissy “evil .50 BMG” crap. If you’re in a wheelchair you have to be able to roll 2 miles on level pavement with it, using a non-powered wheelchair. Grannies are allowed to mount a holster to their walkers, and they have to schlep around Walmart for 90 minutes with it. They’re only allowed 2 fall-overs, but have to get themselves back up without the aid of a LifeAlert bracelet.
Maybe the same rule for ammunition. On that 2 mile trek you also have to carry 200 rounds for it. This way, only giants among men, like Hulk Hogan and Frank J, will get to own 20mm rifles. Maybe Chuck Norris. Maybe.
2) No bullets with sufficient explosive power that the shrapnel can penetrate 3/4″ plywood 20 feet away from the explosion. Anything less than that is Ok. So full strength hand grenades would be out, but little ones would be Ok.
3) There are no rules for what a firearm has to look like or be made out of, or what size the various parts are. If you want to make a pistol that looks like a toaster, that’s your right. Belt buckle gun? Go right ahead. Short barrels? Nobody cares. But no junk guns allowed: every new design has to be test fired 2000 times by the inventor with their bare hands using full power ammo. Minimum accuracy standards will be applied. Drop tests against concrete floors will be conducted with the inventor in the testing room.
Eric- the only purpose for gun registration in gun confiscation. Registration is not about responsibility, it’s about tyranny.
One law: don’t shoot anyone you don’t have to*
*you always have to shoot socialists …and zombies
1. Anyone who owns a gun has to exhibit common sense, responsible behavior. People who exhibit stupid, reckless, irresponsible behavior do not get to own guns. Instead they get to carry around the ammo for people who aren’t stupid, reckless and irresponsible.
2. Liberals can never own, look at, or watch movies, TV or whatever that feature or involve guns (they are restricted to PBS, Bravo and Lifetime, where they can’t hurt themselves).
3. Eat what you shoot (so if you’re not into cannibalism don’t shoot people) unless they’re shooting at you.
1. Do not fire randomly at an Acorn office, community organizer, or protestors.
2. When you pull up next to a car with an Obama bumper sticker do not roll down your window and fire indiscriminately at the vehicle.
3. Do not fire into any demonstration by gays, environmentalists or hippies.
4. Do not fire into the windows of any Democrat office local or state.
5. Do not fire at an office or premise of any known liberal news service.
6. Do not shoot at a home that shows signs with anti-Bush sentiment.
7. Do not shoot at protesters who demand green energy.
8. Do not shoot at any movie star that promotes liberal leftist agendas.
9. Do not fire at gangs or gang members.
10. Do not shoot at prominent liberal journalists.
11. Always keep your guns loaded and accessable.

Hmm. Anyone here know where I can get an Ohio class submarine?
Thanks for the Frankalanche!
As for a common sense gun law, I’d say do away with all of them and just say “If you’re not stupid, carry a gun.”
1. Trigger discipline.
2. Shoot at the bastard who means you harm.
3. Pray the cops who respond to your 911 call are cool with what happened. Being in the Rocky Mountain West helps, unless you are in Denver or Boulder.
4. Do not taunt the corpse.
As a poor goon from Chitcago, here’s what I would like for common sense rules:
– It will take less than 6 months to buy a license to be able to even touch ammunition.
– It will be *possible* to get a license to carry concealed.
– Citizens are entitled to enter the city of Chicago with a firearm.
– Citizens will not be arrested for having an empty shell casing in their pocket.
– Citizens will not be harassed by anti-gun nuts.
Who am I kidding, any one of those is a laughable dream in Shitcago.
A permit and a 2 hour safety course will be required for possession of any weapons weighing over 100lbs. In the case of vehicle mounted weaponry, only the weapon, not any part of the vehicle or armor.
A 24 hour waiting period for RPGs
Calling low caliber guns “sissy” weapons counts as libel, as long as it can kill or seriously maim.
Is it reasonable for Al Sharpton to assume that by “chimp” you mean Obama?
Only one. Before taking home your new gun, you must be able to prove your proficiency. Upon proper calibration, for a rifle, you must be able to drop a liberal at 300 yards with a single shot. With a pistol, you must be able to score a clean head shot at 50 feet. Anyone holding a pistol sideways (Gansta style) will instantly receive an axe blow to the head.
#16 Jim… ” it shall be legal to use any elected official from California, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, Michigan, or Vermont as a target.” I believe Frank already covered that on his T-shirt, under keeping a gun pointed in a safe direction…namely at hippies and communists.
#23 Idaho Spud…in numbers 1-10, how about if I fire purposely and discriminently? Otherwise, your rules are no fun!
While not quite as cool sounding as a musket to the junk, you can easily lure potential targets such as Barney Frank or John Edwards closer by threatening to put a blunderbuss to the backside.
I am a contractor. Last year, while working on the house of a local police officer and his wife the school teacher, I received a call on my cell.It was my friendly neighborhood FFL dealer, calling to tell me my new .45 was ready for me to pick up. I looked at Midwestconservative and said, “it’s lunch time”. After visiting with my dealer, we returned to the cops house where I called him over to take a look at my new toy. I approached the cop, and presented an open case with a brand new gun inside. He bit hook, line, and sinker! The cop picked up my new .45 and fondled it lovingly, and then returned it to the case. I politely said thank you, and then turned to his wife(the teacher) and Midwestconservative and said, “See, that’s what you want to do with a brand new gun, get a cops fingerprints ALL OVER IT!”
NOW it’s time to play!

Idaho spud: You messed up , You need to remove NOT from rules 1-10 . # 11 is a no brainer
I actually remember a gun range offering a course in “The Israeli Instructive Shooting Method” which specifically centered around sideways shooting. The main idea, as outlined in the sign-up brochure, was that the pistol’s recoil would be horizontal and thus give one a better chance of hitting the chest/torso area.
It was a new idea to me, but I’m not sure of its efficacy.
Many of the politicians who support gun control were elected as a by-product of spending by gays to promote their lifestyle. Maybe its time to propose a deal:
Will you let FrankJ keep his guns if we accept gay “marriage”?
Any other law notwithstanding, it shall be legal to use any elected official from California, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, Michigan, or Vermont as a target.
Slow down, homeboy. VT has the gold standard when it comes to CC. No permit required, resident or non!
Common sense gun rule — pester , molest , steal from , or threaten my family or property — CATCH high speed lead!!!
If you’re going to shoot, shoot, don’t talk.
Gun rules? You want gun rules? Here’s your gun rules: The one with the gun, rules.
As Nash, in the movie ‘Army of Darkness’ put it:
“Good. Evil. I’m the one with the gun!” (bang)
