Why there can be no compromise with the anti-gun side of the debate....

And?

In post #31 you said you were pro gun control because we do not need whack-jobs carrying rifles into convenience stores.

How would training, licensing and insurance prevent that?

By teaching them just how stupid it is.

Do you really believe that?

And?

Did you read the rest of the post?
Of course you did - and you know you have no meaningful response.
Your concession, accepted.

Proof that someone knows he has no meaningful response.

This is the truth....they want to ban all guns...every single gun.....from your pump action duck gun to your AR-15, to your Glock to your M&P.......if it is a gun, they want it gone......

Here's the problem with these takes: They ignore the way "compromise" has always worked in the gun debate.

See, for years, the idea of compromise was common. Gun rights supporters wanted to be reasonable, but anti-gunners had no such desire. They made big asks and then "compromised" to take only part of what they wanted. The gun rights side got screwed because all we got out of the deal was fewer gun rights, just not quite as few as the other side would prefer.

That's not much of a compromise.

I mean, you're telling us the only way to be reasonable is to either give up everything or give up a little less, even though we don't actually have to give up anything, and then you're shocked when we stop?

Time and time again, anti-gun lawmakers and activists have demanded we move. They've never given up a thing except to take a little less than they wanted, but even that isn't permanent. They come back the next year and try to take the rest. There's no rational give and take.

Sooner or later, they were always going to push too far, and our side was just going to say, "Enough."

There's no compromise now because there was never any compromise then. They just pretended there was as we made a slow march toward complete disarmament.

Why Compromise On Guns Is Not Possible

I think there's a certain degree of middle ground possible on most issues. I think compromise--actua

There will be a great many outlaws.
But, the left will continue to try.
