My original question was designed to determine where you were coming from. When people start throwing the insulting label of "gun nut" around (especially around here) they really shouldn't expect people to play nice with them. Despite that my asking if you believed in the constitution was not intended as an insult. My posts past that merely stated that I was no longer interested in trying to drag your opinion out of you. Now that you have made other posts that frame your opinion a little better I can make some comments that you will probably think are insults but are not intended to be insulting.

The NRA and the GOA are defending against the unconstitutional infringements on the 2nd amendment. Your suggestion that they lobby congress to open more mental hospitals is not very logical. If Either the NRA or the GOA adopted your position they would be conceding that the fundamental arguments for gun control are correct. The arguments for gun control are not correct. The VPC's, and other gun control groups, goal is to disarm America and their motive is not to make America a safer place. Any concessions to these people only shifts the the goal line making it easier for the next assault. We know what the ultimate goal is of all these gun control groups so why would anyone suggest helping them? (rhetorical question not intended to be insulting)

Do you honestly think that the repeal of the 2nd amendment is an achievable goal?(real honest to goodness question)
If the 2nd amendment was repealed what do you think would happen in this country?

I don't mind being called a "gun nut", because I am one.

No. Your original question was to infer that I was a communist by implying that I did not believing in the Constitution.

You mean that the 2nd. Amendment is totally un-infringed in all states across the US? I don't think so.

If Either the NRA or the GOA adopted your position they would be conceding that the fundamental arguments for gun control are correct.

By the virtue of what logic? It is illegal, federally, for a minor to be in possession of a firearm at school. The "Instant Background Check" when you purchase a firearm is designed to detect the mentally unstable that are in the data bank. Is this a concession to the fundamental arguments for gun control? I don't think so. The NRA helped draft these laws with Congress.

We know what the ultimate goal is of all these gun control groups so why would anyone suggest helping them?

I am not suggesting helping them, I am suggesting out-flanking them. You don't posses a tactical mind, do you?

Do you honestly think that the repeal of the 2nd amendment is an achievable goal?(real honest to goodness question)

My honest answer, Yes. Why? Because the the Second Amendment movement can't see beyond the rear sight.

If the 2nd amendment was repealed what do you think would happen in this country?

Not much. You'd all turn in your guns like good little soldiers. I think the battle cry of; "From My Cold Dead Hands!" is nothing more than a bluff.
