I'm not proposing anything. What do YOU propose?
I think first something like what :[user not found] said above needs to be done before any serious proposal can be offered:

Out suicide rate is in line with the rest of the developed word and significantly lower than in some countries that have no access to guns.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:07 pmNope.

Access has a huge impact followed by permeance. Additional 90% of failed suiciders never die from suicide.

If you take away the easiest most permanent method, a substantial number of lives are saves.
Some reading on the British Coal Gas Study is required for this topic.

I thought they made plenty of sense?[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 2:40 pm One of the biggest issue with crime statistics is that they "feel like they should make sense" and most decidedly do not. The discussion we had today would be an entire semester in a master's program, so we didn't even scratch the surface.
People only tend to feel strongly enough about someone to be violent against them if they know them.
People need enough money and time to think about and pull off bigly violent crimes, so that's not going to be poor minorities masterminding this shit.
Watch any "heist" movie. It takes an intelligent person with resources to pull off big crimes. The exception being driving your through a peaceful crowd... anyone can do that and get away with almost no consequences. The truly smart people use a car to kill someone, not a gun.

It's "interesting" how the ATF (I think it's the ATF, or maybe it's the FDA?) is prevented from studying gun-related deaths like traffic fatalities are studied.

Japan[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:15 pmwrong - we are double the UK and 25% higher than our NATO allies.
Suicides and early death (deaths of despair as they are often called) are a real problem here and guns aren't the core of the issue but they exasperate the issue.
South Korea
France NATO ally
Finland NATO ally
Sweden NATO ally
Croatia NATO ally are all higher and are all far more restrictive when it comes to gun ownership/access.

Generally you don't compare Western and Eastern cultures when it comes to suicide as the historical context is so different and it continues to have an impact today.

For someone who claims to be "in business" with this you seem to have a complete lack of understanding of how to read large data sets. And it is getting a bit tiring constantly poking holes into baseless statements you make here.

I would support it and I would also argue that if you purchase a firearm you should be required to complete the same level of safety and proficiency you have to show when getting your CWP.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:29 pm Let's go for what we are really after... Let's say waiting periods reduced gun suicides by 30% (just a random number, for sake of discussion). That would save about 7,000 american lives a year and all it would require is waiting 3 days for any firearm purchase. Would you support that? If not, why not?
Keep in mind waiting periods have been specifically ruled to be constitutional.
My 2 cents doe

I'll make a more interesting statement here. The data is clearly telling that Muslim Majority countries have far lower suicide rates than the western/Judochristian and Atheist nations.
Seems like we need to learn a thing or two from them.

In order for owners to actually be held liable, though, the guns need to be registered... therefore why bother with insurance when there's effectively no liability?[user not found] wrote:Side note I'm a HUGE believer that all firearm owners need EXTENSIVE liability insurance.

So where do you draw the line ?[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 6:01 pmLimitations on family size absolutely are, permitting from the government to have children absolutely is not and will lead immediately to eugenics.
Limiting personal freedoms to go through a bunch of steps to ensure safe handling of a fire arm...
or
Survival of the species
Seems like we should prioritize what matters as opposed to argue over non sense.
Obviously humans can’t be let to fend for themselves
Because we went from 1 billion to 9 in about 120 years

Similar requirements for hunting and sporting rifles/shotguns?[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 6:00 pmI have no conceptual issue with registration either. My idea would be:troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 5:54 pm In order for owners to actually be held liable, though, the guns need to be registered... therefore why bother with insurance when there's effectively no liability?
1) take class to be able to buy gun
2) pass background check
3) pass reference check
4) get approval to buy from law enforcement
5) buy insurance
6) go select your gun (no semi-automatic weapons) and present evidence of insurance
7) enter waiting period, during waiting period gun goes to ATF for registration and test firing - serial number and ballistics tests done, recorded, and made entered into database. Database results only available with a warrant.
8) notification from law enforcement that waiting period has ended and you're ready to proceed
9) pass a comprehensive safety and skills class with YOUR gun, which is still held by law enforcement
10) pick up weapon from local law enforcement for keeps
YOU as the purchaser responsible for all the associated costs
I think I could get behind this if you add that device that recognizes the owners finger/palm print and only allows the owner to fire the weapon. Or is that easily defeated?

I don't know much about the ones on firearms but in the security sector they are kinda crap.I think I could get behind this if you add that device that recognizes the owners finger/palm print and only allows the owner to fire the weapon. Or is that easily defeated?
Is it something, in your opinion, that is worth improving on to get the technology right so it reliably works as intended?
