I am not reading through the entire chat, but if there is a question about gun laws I might be able to help. I work in the industry.

What would that do to the Price of a Hamburger at McDonald's?

same price just McDonald's wouldn't be open ... at least, that was my dream of retirement turned into a nightmare

We were discussing who can own automatic weapons. I think they should be legal for everyone without license or background check, getting an FFL seems like giving up some rights to exercise another right. And then I said I think you can machine your own full auto but wasn’t sure and Maw replied that FFL is how I would find out.

@Gypsy, you just advanced to level 8!

You would still have people working prices would just increase. And it would be relatively quick. Like 3 or 4 years is my guess but an economist would know better.

Either way it would establish an increase. Either through a Supply and Demand or a increase in the cost of services/Goods.

Getting an FFL is very difficult, because you have to set up an actual business. The ATF frowns on home based FFLs. Remember you have to have permission to run that type of business out of your home as far as zoning, and HOAs go. New full autos were banned from registration in 1986 due to the hughs amendment (thank you Reagan :/) So if it was not registered prior to the registration date, you cannot own it as an individual. There are a finite amount of FA guns in the registry so they are pricey. I agree 100% the NFA is a travesty and is unconstitutional. Hope this helps 🙂

If you want basic income then you would means test it. But I would only be in favor of it was replacing other safety nets and was directly budgeted based on a funds left over after everything else was taken care of. And preferably still incentivized some work.

Wait until all the government strings attached to verify you for peanuts

Also if you have NFA items the ATF can request to inspect them pretty much at their will. It is a wierd quirk in the law, that you relinquish some privacy rights.

That helps a lot, thanks @blaisenguns

Maybe open to the Public on premises.

That’s what I had heard. I dislike this trade of rights.

Proof of Registration: A person possessing a firearm registered as required by the NFA shall retain proof of registration which shall be made available to any ATF officer
upon request

@blaisenguns can a holder of a FFL sell Door to Door?

right, UBI and minimum wage are just different ways of biasing the economy, do it once and it resets everything and the markets adjust and you're back to where you were at before with lots of market shake-up and not much to show for it, want to force a desired outcome then you got to keep forcing the market, keep raising the minimum wage which keeps raising the first rung on the ladder to employment where there is a minimum wage and keeps making shipping jobs to where there is a lower or non-existent minimum wage, etc. Raise UBI and the prices just adjust accordingly ... but I'm idiot and what do I know

Imo there should be no licensing for autos, concealed carry or purchase. And if someone is a threat you don’t punish everyone else for the risk they pose. But now that we have elected this great new leader, more popular than Obama or any president before, we will be lucky to have semi-autos without registering them to the government

100000% agree. all gun laws are an infringement.

@meglide unfortunately, one of the quickest ways of becoming an Idiot is accepting the fact that you are one?

Are you a counselor of some sort? I mean it sounds like advice I heard about not having negative thoughts. It was good advice I am just curious what your profession is. I may have missed where you stated it.

correct but as much of an idiot as I am, I don't trust that someone else knows what to set the UBI or minimum wage at such that bad things don't happen ... or in other words from one idiot to another, prove to me you're not a bigger idiot

You in not meant in the singular context.

Of course he is. He is clearly Dr. Phil lol

I am a Professor of Psychology-Law.

I knew I recognized that face 😂

I am not sure what that means but it sounds like you know a lot about something. Is it law around psychology or is it the psychology of law?

I believe Public Policy and Laws can have a major impact on Human Behavior. I strive to show how such can and do have a Psychological impact.

You have a book?

Because I would buy that book.

the one he couldn't help

Unfortunately this is not my real name for personal reasons. The Internet can have detrimental effects on "Rate Your Professor" and online complaints to my University from Online Trolls.

Understandable.

Well that sounds interesting, and I would be interested in reading further about it. 🤷‍♂️ I listen to Jordan Peterson alot.

Rate my professor is basically: are they hot? Are they easy graders? 😂

I have seen good professors get bad ratings because they actually tested the students on material

I do have Books and I have been published in Peer Review Publications. Which is basically meaningless and not meant as coming from a Position of Authority. I personally detest anyone who uses that as a Position in a Debate or Discussion.

Maybe titles, but peer reviewed publications are more than positions of authority. Let’s say I know nothing about psychology (which is true) and you tell me some theory. It definitely carries more weight if I can verify your peers have read this theory and found it sufficiently valid to endorse its publication. Unless the peer reviewed journal is suspect. Like that fiasco with those 3 professors that had their gibberish published. But that was just hilarious.

So I guess for me it would depend on who your peers are.
