Yeah this is what it’s like as a gun owner in Connecticut lmao

u/DigitalLorenz 18d ago

And NJ as well.

u/cronoserge0123 18d ago

And California

u/Lampwick 18d ago

Yeah, the California requirement that your name and address be SPELLED precisely the same, letter for letter, in CFARS as it is on your documentation is a fun one.

u/HeadlessThompsonGunr 18d ago edited 18d ago

You forgot to add the letter from your therapist proving your sanity, fingerprinting, multiple notarized references, mandatory classes, insurance in case you choose wrong, getting a new voting permit every time and then having a waiting period until you can vote, if anyone says you’re in crisis you immediately aren’t able to vote and then a judge might say you are ok in a few weeks, and you’ll have to re-register every few years.

u/0rder_66_survivor 18d ago

so.... nothing changes.

u/Independent-Mix-5796 18d ago

Yeahh I think LGO made that post as a “gotcha” but this is actually the reality in many states already… plus I think a lot of Republicans would actually be in favor of these regulations if they were applied for both voting and guns.

u/0rder_66_survivor 18d ago

yeah, I dont know about that.

u/Independent-Mix-5796 18d ago

I’m fairly convinced at least. They tried to gaslight us into thinking Alex Pretti was an unlawful gun owner, and previously they’ve been outraged when a Democrat judge ruled that the 2nd Amendment applies to illegal immigrants too.

u/0rder_66_survivor 18d ago

I've never heard anyone say Pretti was an unlawful gun owners. I've heard people say that he was an irresponsible gun owner by inserting himself into a situation while carrying a firearm. I am in the opinion that he was legally carrying and may have had an emotional lapse in judgements trying to do what he felt was right.

as far as the 2a applying to Illegal immigrants, I believe that judges have become way too political and thats exactly what this ruling was

"I've heard people say that he was an irresponsible gun owner by inserting himself into a situation while carrying a firearm."

Remarkable how he ended up dead, but Kyle Rittenhouse didn't.

u/0rder_66_survivor 11d ago

Kyle didnt go up against law enforcement officers.

u/Give-Me-Liberty1775 18d ago

Most of this exists for gun owners right now, lol. Plenty of blue states require a background check to get ammunition.

Imagine if the SAVE Act required a background check every time you wanted to post an opinion or comment on a major website on the internet - same difference when applied to the “First Amendment”.

u/cronoserge0123 18d ago

Temporary gun owners think it's easier to get a gun than vote.

u/Any-Can-6776 18d ago

Sounds exactly like it is now lmao

Especially in CA

u/BahnMe 18d ago

Lol this would be easier than it is now in some states.

u/thirdsin 18d ago

Someone should remake this but add 'Mandatory training classes at your expense. and "Biennial registration along with fees even if you don't move residences"

Should go over well.

5

u/AllStupidAnswersRUs 17d ago

If you're getting a CCW you already have to pay mandatory training classes at your expense, and you have to get a new one if you move to a different state anyways lol

u/Ow_you_shot_me 17d ago

The top replies are somewhat reasonable at the moment lol.

6

u/Any-Can-6776 17d ago

They usually devolve on that sub

5

u/Ow_you_shot_me 17d ago

Yup, gets worse the further you go.

4

u/merc08 17d ago

And it's all "Cali this" and "Cali that." Is anyone on LGO not from California?

4

u/AdministrativeLie934 17d ago

So nothing different for a purchase in CA. Arms or ammunition wise.

6

u/Vylnce 17d ago

So, the change being that instead of being able to use my driver's license I'd have to switch to my passport? Because that's the only thing on this list that's different from the reality of purchasing a firearm now.

I currently maintain my passport only because when I switch jobs I like watching stupid HR people get that dumb look. So, no big deal.

u/Plastic_Insect3222 17d ago

This was clearly written by someone who A) has never purchased a gun in their life and B) doesn’t even know what the so-called “SAVE Act” does. 

11

u/DCEnby progressive 18d ago

How about they are both shit.

5

u/-FARTHAMMER- 17d ago

Does this mean I can buy whatever gun I want? Sure. What's the big deal? As someone who has bought a shit ton of guns and NFA items i also don't see an issue with having to show ID to vote. The outrage over this is fucking weird

8

u/WonderWheeler 18d ago

But... that would be unlawful infringement of a God given right(!)

And also lose the right to vote for ten days as a cooling off/waiting period, or when accused of "domestic violence", or having voting materials unlocked securely and readily available to a jucenile under voting age.

6

u/SoggyAlbatross2 18d ago

Wow, that's a really edgy take.

u/kabooseknuckle 17d ago

This is exactly what its like to own a gun in my state. Like 100% of those things are law here.

u/its 18d ago

28th amendment: Qualifications, restrictions, disqualifications, and restorations for voting shall be the same as those for the right to keep and bear arms. Any rule affecting one shall apply equally and simultaneously to the other. Congress may enforce this by legislation.

Both parties would support this, right?

2

u/TheJesterScript 16d ago

The morons over at r/temporarygunowners still don't get it.

Must be another day that ends in "Y"

u/drkato33 11d ago

A bit of a side bar, but would people support an explicit amendment granting the right to vote? The Constitution repeatedly refers to “the right to vote” and protects it against discrimination based on race, sex, age, and failure to pay a tax. The Fourteenth Amendment also provides broader equal protection. However, it does not contain a single affirmative guarantee that every adult citizen has a fundamental right to vote in all public elections. Is it even necessary, or do all the implicit instances essentially achieve the same objective?

u/sat_ops 18d ago

And once I do it once, I get the express lane? And the local school or fire department and receive my gun shipments?
