God gave you a right to own guns?Gun control legislation on a state level. Isn't that the dream scenario of gun lovers? I am assuming that in all other things your point of view would be consistently Conservative. Therefore, limited federal government vis-a-vis gun legislation should be a welcomed thing. If state's rights can be used to justify every other Conservative talking,point, why does it not also apply to guns?The Clinton assault weapons ban was enacted in 1996 and then lapsed in 2004. But there has been absolutely no federal gun bans since 1996.
The 'cop killer' bullets debate was earlier than that.
The NRA has congress in its pocket. Even consensus gun laws like universal background checks has been left to rot on committee room floors.
The notion that democrats are coming to a ho,e near you to take guns away is an emotional argument despite the dismissal of emotional arguments proffered by the gun lobby's talking points. Hypocrites and fear,mongerers. And these are the people who want to have guns.
Dude, do you ever realize WHEN you're getting spanked? Did you just read my previous post?
In recent years, there have been no bans at the federal level? Do you think that pro-gunners are idiots? Since the Heller decision, most of the gun ban issue is at the STATE level. Take a look at what just happened in Massachusetts. And see my previous thread.
False assumption on your part. Conservatives and liberals are two sides of the same coin. I'm part constitutionalist and part Libertarian. Conservatives seem to find tyranny and oppression acceptable if it is managed by "conservative " Republicans.
I, on the other hand, believe in unalienable Rights. Unalienable Rights are those Rights that you are born with and are above the reach of government. Those basic Rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The Right to keep and bear Arms is an extension of your Right to Life and Liberty. Those Rights predated the Constitution.
So, while I'm advocating for a position whereby gun violence can be radically reduced without gun control, neither the Ds nor the Rs, conservative or liberal, right or left are receptive to preserving our Rights as the founders intended. While the left is lying about what their ultimate goal is, or better, why they pursue that goal, I'm a one man show in maintaining and preserving unalienable Rights. Liberals have yet to articulate their end game.
Yes, he most assuredly did.
