True, but like the actual company is sketchy if you look it up on Wikipedia, related to ATF issues

Yeah, it's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

More good news:

No more doctor-patient confidentiality when it comes to mental health

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-asks-doctors-help-deal-guns_696121.html

As if it was not hard enough for people with mental problems to have the courage to seek help, now they need to worry about their doctors ratting them out to big brother. Now on top of our guns possibly getting taken away based on how scary they look or how many bullets will fit in the clip, there will be more depressed and suicidal people wandering around without seeking professional help. How wonderful it is that our federal government can do all this based on emotional reactions without taking the time to think about the consequences or legality of it all!

They're required to report it if they feel the person is a danger to themself or others, I believe

[QUOTE="clyde46"] ATF? Is that the government body thats supposed to control gun sales?clyde46

Yeah, it's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

Apparently some guns went "missing," If you look up Sons of guns on wikipedia it's all on there

Sending guns to Mexico in hopes of tracking drug running, loosing track of said guns and then those guns being linked to killing lots of people.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal

Yeah...that wasn't the best plan ever...or anywhere close to a good plan

A handprint lockout system or DNA recognition somehow on the gun would make the most sense, seeing as how in most cases the shooters don't actually own the weapons themselves.

Again, do you know how stupid our government is?

Soulless for profit organizations are usually at least competent. Our Governemnt would f*ck everything up and then raise taxes to have more money to throw at it, to f*ck it up more and repeat.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="clyde46"] That was in a movie... cant remember which.clyde46

It's not a new or original idea by any means, but sometimes fiction is a look into our potential future.

Metal Gear Solid 4 kind of had something like that.

I'd like a system put into place that actually holds the U.S congress to their word, if they cannot do the job they should be fired, simple as that.

So much blame is placed on the president but when you have to jump through these rediculous loopholes of democrats and republicans simply disagreeing because they can. It holds things up for everyone.

Work together or not at all. Find a common point you can agree on and take it from there, don't refuse to raise taxes on those that make over 400k per year, we might not have a poverty problem in this country if we could just see beyond this petty crap.

Maybe politics shouldn't be handled by "Politicians," in the first place.

Yes, unfortunately.

Oh god this has become OT with conspiracy theories and pedantic neckbeards.

Recently we had a case where an independant commission recommended to our parliament some significant changes of drug laws based on solid scientific evidence. For example that instead of incarcerating drug users we should be treating them.

What did the Honerable member of parliament Simon Powers do? Just stuck with the status quo as it better suited his political agenda instead of going with science.

So yeah, I agree with you on this one.

As someone outside the US, why does one even need an assault rifle?clyde46

Uh... we're not allowed to own them. lol non-americans trying to talk about American politics. Sad.

What a tool. Yeah, let's just blow $10 million on something as ridiculous as this study instead of focusing on bigger issues like the state of our country's mental health care. enterawesome

Race bating, class bating, gender baiting,conservative bating, excessive counter-productive spending, excessive counter-productive regulations, fear mongering, wars on everyone, wars on everything, the only they they could be is they are trying to get the nation to the boiling point.

Good. Let 'em. Then when we have a federally-funded study that proves that there is no causative relationship between violent video games (or any media) and real world violence, maybe people will shut the f*ck up.

DarkLink77

And what if they do find a link? Will you shut the f*ck up?

so what if his nomenclature ain't spot on. He's asking a question. I think you know what he's trying to figure out.

secondly, what do you mean 'talk about'? he's asking a question. there are no speech restrictions on american politics which extend to other countries like the UK.

your post isn't helpful at all. seriously man. what did you hope to accomplish with your post?

This study is an enormous waste of money and time, It's just going to show how wrong all of the finger pointers are.

It really is, regarding kojima they already have had prototypes out of a stealth suit for a while now, some say it's even seen actual combat situations.

MSXBOX4EVER

Lolwat.

Specifically

"there are no speech restrictions on American politics which extend to other countries like the UK."

lol wat indeed.

Implying you're serious (which, you're probably not but who cares) he asked a question that assumed something that wasn't. It's obvious what the intent behind "Why do we need Assault Rifle" was, to try to play the 'You don't need it, thus you shouldn't have it' card. As a non-American he clearly doesn't actually know how things work here and assumed something that wasn't.

Also, "Lol non-americans talking about American politics" is an expression. He can go on talking about things that he clearly has no understanding of, and I can take solace in the fact he can't vote here. A vast-majority of people who don't live in America that try to talk about the happenings of America come off as silly.
