I like your rights too! Here is another thing I bet we both have in common; we like laws that make sense and address the issue and not the symptom! Am I right?
Here is something you might agree with; law makers can make better laws the better the information they have to base those laws on.
Now here is something you might not agree with because your ego may prevent it: A start to good gun laws would be to have a comprehensive understanding of the issue and we can gain that understanding by studying the issue.
So perhaps instead of gun nuts (and it is gun nuts that are preventing this as pro gun users support good laws) blocking any debate or any attempt at addressing gun violence and instead of supporting the opposite of that view (the removal of all guns), a good start all rational people can agree on would be to allow the studying of the issue by the federal government (like it does for many other issues) that is currently prohibited😉
I totally agree. But we're not dealing with rational people who are looking for a balanced solution to the problem. The rational folks are the ones who, poll after poll, always make up the majority in those polls that would like better background checks and better registration procedures to better weed out the nutjobs and law breakers who should not own firearms.
These folks simply want an improvement of an existing tracking system, of which the paranoid delusional sector of the firearm enthusiast demographic can ONLY see as the horrific slippery slope ending with the 2A being struck down and all their toys being taken away. To them it's a real threat, as silly as that is. It would be guaranteed political suicide for any politician to push for that.
And why is it that the nutjobs among gun owners are OK with the fact that we can't own RPG's, full auto assault rifles (in most instances), grenades, trailered rocket launchers and heavy caliber machine guns but are scared shitless when anyone even mentions that improved background checks and registration procedures will help keep firearms out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them?
Or is it that those nutjobs actually and truly feel that under the 2A, any law abiding citizen is
supposed to be able to own a Ma Deuce and a fully capable StG 44 or an A4 complete with M203, and that anything less is already a clear violation of the 2A?
I mean surely, the more damage you can do against a mob of anarchists looking to loot your house and rape your wife and kids has got to be a good thing, right? So what's wrong with having a cache of M64's and a stockpile of M18's and some NOS M14's? The 2A should allow that shouldn't it?
Delusional gun nuts should not be the ones who control the narrative over the subject of better background checks and registration procedures. It should be those enthusiasts that are realists, you know, the MAJORITY of that demographic that make the decisions.
If only the profit-driven NRA would just excuse themselves from the decision making process maybe something good can get done.
