Our nation would be helped a lot more by stamping and tracking Leftists. Better yet, why not set up registration so we can own them. These people are enemies of the state, pure and simple.

1. They loathe our Constitution
2. They loathe Christian morals
3. They loathe our Founding Fathers
4. They loathe our system of governance and want to replace it with that of the old U. S. S. R.
5. They even open talk about killing Conservative politicians
6. Some of them are terrorists, or actually ‘understand’ why terrorists do what they do

The concept that the government could or should only “allow” certain people to buy guns stands the very concept of American jurisprudence on its head. It presumes that the government knows all, controls all, and should be doing so. It is wrong and ineffective. It is the opposite of preventing criminals from possessing guns.

It is crazy to set up a huge expensive bureaucratic system, require everyone to jump though hoops and prove that they are *not* criminals in order to try, ineffectively, to prevent the few individuals who are not responsible, from having legal access to guns. This is a failed paradigm, and it should be abandoned. To accept the idea that the all gun sales should be monitored by the government, and only allowed to those it deems satisfactory is fundamentally wrong.

The entire idea of the enterprise has always been the death of a thousand cuts, where the restrictions on who can buy, and where, and how and what are continually increased until the number of gun owners is reduced to political insignificance.
