A limit on sales. Govt has no right to know about private sales. Only socialist anti gun people like these kind of laws. Not surprised that you call them sensible.

Government has a right to regulate commerce

You make a practice of selling guns to criminals, government has a right to know

Go after the criminals then. Stay away from law abiding citizens who do private sales.

Why do private citizens sell guns to criminals?

We need to stop the flow. It is not difficult for you to know who you are selling to

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.


wake up before it’s to late

" Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Your saying trump wants absolute power? Lol

He does admire Un, Xi and Putin...all who have absolute power.

Because he talks to other world leaders lol And we’re not at war lol low iq

You should learn to read, I did not say talk I said admire.

Once again your lack of education holds you back from a spot at the adult table

Oh your judging his emotions lol are you for thought police also? Lol

Fake News. Today is Lobby Day in Virginia and there is always a pro gun lobby day in Richmond on the third monday of January (Lobby Day).

VCDL Lobby Day 2020 FAQ's

"The third Monday in January is VCDL Lobby Day every year. That date is picked because it is a federal holiday, which allows more gun owners to be able to come to Richmond to lobby their legislators in person and in very large numbers. We also have our annual Lobby Day rally at 11 am that day."

I went to the rally and didn't see one "neo-nazi". Hmmmm. Maybe there weren't enough of them to actually run into one and it's just an inflammatory article? Yep - that is definitely it.


Obviously USA Today either doesn't know shit or they don't care to find out about anything that doesn't support their agenda.

So C_Clayton - you mark my post as "Funny" but have nothing to add in order to rebut my post. You have nothing.

Since the Second Amendment was written, when firearms were one-shot muskets and the writers of the Constitution suspected that the British would be back, which they were in 1812, we now actually have a formal militia. It is known as the National Guard. I am hoping that no one is attacked in Richmond this afternoon, and that none of the thugs expected to assemble confronts a member of the Virginia Police or the Virginia Guard.

These thugs are costing us millions, MILLIONS, with their gangsterism. My thoughts are with the members of Virginia law enforcement at this time, who put their lives on the line. And who, at least, must be paid as they should be. We already know that people from out of state are heading to the Commonwealth to incite violence. None of those arrested by the FBI were from the Commonwealth, BTW, and one is even an undocumented alien.

The second clearly referenced well regulated militias. The gun lobby has worked hard to change its meaning. Bearing arms is a military term.

Law abiding American citizens are citizen soldiers dating back to the Minuteman

That may have been the situation hundreds of years ago but it certainly isn't now.

Our National Guard are our citizen soldiers. I was a member of the Air National Guard.

I have never seen anyone one who wasn't in the National Guard be called up by the state's governor or our president to address a local problem, emergency or disaster. Nor have I ever seen anyone who wasn't a member of the National Guard, the Reserves or the rest of our military sent off to a war in foreign nations.

There is no war here in America. No one is attacking us and if there was, The National Guard and the rest of our military would be right there. Not any of your BS weapons nuts. They would be hiding in fear under their beds quivering in terror. If you ever came out from under your beds all you people would do is get in the way of the trained professionals from properly being able to do their jobs.

I didn't see anyone who wasn't in the National Guard air lifting anyone out of the blast zone when I was helping to save lives when Mt. St. Helens blew up. It was the National Guard that saved lives and helped clean up the mess the eruptions caused. Where were your weapon nuts when all the crime and looting was happening after Katrina? It was so bad that the bush boy had to start confiscating weapons. None of the weapons nuts stepped up. It was the police and National Guard who stepped up and did their jobs.

Your BS about citizen soldiers is just that BS. The closest you people ever would get to actually being a soldier is dressing up in costumes and playing soldier in the forest with your friends. None of you could ever even pass basic training much less actually go and volunteer to be a member of the National Guard or any military. Those of us who were actually in the National Guard or any other US military laugh at you fools in your ridiculous costumes with your penis extender weapons.

The fact that you use the word "gun" instead of the proper word, weapon, shows you have never been in any military or had any formal training in weapons or any sort of combat.

If you had been a member of the military you would remember your TI or DI shouting at you that what you're holding isn't a gun. Then grab his crotch and say, this is a gun. What you're holding is a weapon. And if you ever used the word gun around that TI or DI he would scream that sentence at you while he was grabbing his crotch.

Holding up the Air National Guard as the epitome of military service is hilarious!

What is my local ANG unit going to do? Drop pallets of supplies out of their C-130s on the head of the enemy?

I'd have to agree with you on that, podner. Liberals should be spayed and neutered like cats and dogs, then be made pets of. Until they crap on the carpet that is, in which case they'd be put to sleep.

Of course the courts have always upheld restrictions on guns

Types of guns you can have, shooting in public, age restrictions, restrictions on carrying, felons owning guns...

Why don't up you ask Obama? Oh that's right he wasn't a private citizen at the time, he was the piss poor excuse for the president.

The NRA interpretation is a fraud:

So well settled was the issue that, speaking on the PBS NewsHour in 1991, the retired Chief Justice Warren Burger described the National Rifle Association’s lobbying in support of an expansive interpretation of the Second Amendment in these terms: “One of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special-interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”

I place more importance on the opinion of the Founder who wrote the 2nd Amendment than an unelected judge 200 years later

Which is idiotic given the fact it was the Framers’ intent that the courts determine what the Constitution means – including the Second Amendment.

I dont think the Framers intended to Court to become the uncontrollable monster that it has

3. Allow localities to ban guns in some public areas

What ever happened to local rule? If a locality wants to ban carrying guns in parks and playgrounds, why shouldn’t they?

Local rule? As in states’ rights? Many locales would like to ban abortions. Are you for local rule or do just hate lawful citizens having guns and using the local rule as an angle?

More rightwing sophistry, another false comparison fallacy.

The states and local jurisdictions may not ban abortion because the Supreme Court has ruled that to do so violates the Constitution.

That’s not the case with states and local jurisdictions prohibiting the possession of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings – where the Supreme Court has ruled that such prohibitions do not violate the Constitution.

I didn’t dispute that. I sited Abortion as an example of issues that DIFFER at the local level.

It seems like every time anyone shows up to Virginia, it's to kill citizens, or burn or bomb it. If you're not going to bring anything positive, or of goodwill, stay the hell out.
