No quarter. Not slippery slope, no compromises

“....shall not be infringed “ means just that.

Let the incrementalism happen to the left now.

Sorry, the 2nd Amendment is clear:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Furthermore, this is God-given right, to be PROTECTED by a GOVERNMENT of the People, by the People, for the People.

It is not a right GIVEN to us by the Government.

Liberal definition of compromise———”You do what we say and STFU.”

The Left uses "compromise" to incrementally get their entire agenda.

If they get 50% of what they want with every "compromise," they get 99% of what they want after eight or nine "compromises."

And, the left compromises......when? Certainly not after a high profile shooting.

The democrats admit they went too far. What other rights do they plan to trample by mistake? Perhaps the right to vote, by diluting the votes of citizens with the votes of foreigners?

In any compromise between good and evil, evil wins.

When was the last time anyone on the Left offered to compromise on abortion?

In the real world, grownups take ‘yes’ for an answer.

In the real world, thieves don't steal your rights and expect you to be content with half of them back.

We are at a turning point. 2016 will tells us if we have to act other than at the voting booth. Maybe sooner.

I dunno. I’m not a Dudley fan. In this case the compromise was to get most of what we wanted, not lose less than they wanted to take.

ALL of them. That is precisely why there can be no compromise.

What they had. We had the guns, the other side had NOTHING.

Now the other side has something banned and now has a chip to bargain with. You can bet they will want more than you will want to give up to gain what you have lost back.

NEVER BARGAIN IF YOU HAVE ALL THE CHIPS, or guns!
