Is there no middle ground? I've read a lot of view points and BOTH sides have valid concerns. It is when neither side will give anything that we end up with an embarrassing stalemate…
What middle ground do you think there can be. Either we Americans have a right to keep and bear arms, which our government is forbidden from infringing, or else we do not. And the Constitution is rather clear about whether or not we have this right.
When you on the wrong cry for “compromise” what you really mean is that you want us to give up this right, a bit at a time, while getting nothing in return other than an empty promise of safety that no rational person believes will be fulfilled. That's not compromise; that's fraud and tyranny.
Benjamin Franklin had it exactly right when he said that those who would surrender essential liberty for a promise of safety deserve neither.
