@gungasnake,
I dont think anyone here really wishes to eviscerate the 2nd Amendment. We merely wish to define and incorporate, for the future, the reasonable limits to the amendment that we can still define .Even the USSC under Scalia's and ALitos writing for the majority in Heller ,agree with me, not you.
The Firearms ACT s of 1934 (as amended), are a good start, yet Im seeing some of your self-appointed " berserk-er types" wishing to undo even these rules .
Since all of the pro-gun legislation is merely "crafted under contract" by gun Manufacturers (LOOK IT UP) through the NRA, the GOP sponsors merely line up like hogs at the trough to accept their roles as "mere delivery boys" to introduce bills that are NRA friendly and by which these cowards provide closer approaches to an ungovernable status of firearms.
Im a well trained gun owner (Ive had excellent teaching). I own several guns for hunting and protection. I am, nonetheless appalled atsome of these rooky gun owners who dont have the sense about gun care and use (trust me, Ive heard so many complete bollixes about gun usage herein that I wanna puke). Yet these same yahas engage in trading bumper stickers loosely based on NRA mantra and who are promoting full chaos and disresepct for life.
Ive not heard any of the gun-nutters , EVER discuss how they would personally come to aid others or protect these kids. They seem to dwell on the vacuous principle tht "guns for everybody and everybody fer hisself" Theyre sure that somebody'll come and help"
Going back into the dusty archives of A2k and weve had this.
"IT AINT ME BABE" -(That as a direct quote from our own beloved Omsig Dave who was as close to a 2ND Amendment Scholar as weve ever had here. Yet in all his knowledge he readily admitted that should events present themselves, he would never haul and fire to protect others as long as he wasnt a target."Thats your business "
I find that the height of cowardice. Lots of input (to gain what you want without limit) yet no responsibility -sounds more like the rules of committeehood tha "Promoting the general Welfare" as our Constitution lays out in its scope statement.
