“....fundamental Second Amendment right to self-defense.”
.
Wow. Lose that right, and this country will become totally unliveable considering its multicultural condition.
Red states had better consider to ban together.
Let’s start by repealing the NFA of ‘34.
I honestly don’t think these politicians give a hoot about gun laws.
It’s always about money. So if the government starts enacting gun control what is going to happen next ? Lawsuits anyone ? And in the lawsuits who makes the money - lawyers, who feed politicians with more donations.
system sux.
The Bamster has long stated that he sees Abraham Lincoln as his guide for an ideal president. Perhaps we misunderstood, and he values Lincoln's willingness to send Federal troops against US citizens... These "Red states" of which you speak might find themselves in trouble.
Gun control will be succesful in neighborhoods like Holmes’ and Lanza’s. Not much chance of success in non-middle-class neighborhoods.
That’d be a good start, for sure.
The NFA was pretty much re-written in '68, and that is the law that would need to be repealed. I say repeal them all.
The only problem would be that owners of Class III firearms would see the values drop precipitously. A transferable M-16 from before '86 is currently worth about $20K. If these acts are repealed it would probably drop to about $2K in value, depending what the manufacturers would charge for a new one.
Hmmm. The last time I read about the guns in TX, it was estimated there were 2+ for every man woman and child in the state in private ownership. Do you really think that it would be possible for the brown shirts to go door to door and remove them? Not going to happen and TX will not give them up at the state level. Will not happen.
The evidence of their lies is painfully apparent. If their purpose is to somehow save lives with gun control they should logically start in the inner cities where most gun violence occurs. They have taken no steps in this direction and won’t.
I’ve dealt with the Secret Service for 40 years, and this bunch of mercenary, gutless cowards are the most vile of the lot. These pricks are more interested in finding hookers than guarding a president.
For all you FReepers noting the decline of America, the decline of honor in the federal government is 10 times worse.
Now that these leftists are in total charge tolerance goes out the window - they're completely unwilling to give any consideration to values and principles important to anyone else. Worse, they are trying to make them illegal.
These people do not deserve the least bit of respect, let alone obedience.
The right of lawless Obama thugs to murder, rape, and rob unarmed Americans shall not be infringed.
Therein lies a risk to us and maybe a goal for the bamster: the only way to enlist the support of the armed forces would be against a seceeding state, they could and would never be engaged in a fight against US citizens, but against a separatist state? Well, as you say, Lincoln was the model for that. Just a thought.

You’re full of crap. Our armed forces are not Nazis, nor gestapo, nor eizengruppen. Got it?
Don’t ever infer that our Marines and soldiers are Nazis.
I think we are being scammed....something else is going on they don’t want us to know about while this “gun” issue is being plastered everywhere. Heck, Canada could NOT even get it’s citizens to Register their guns. They finally gave up after about 10 years of trying. I truly believe something else is going on that we should have our eyes on.
Obama and his evil leftists are piggybacking on the recent shooting tragedy in CT to attack our Second Amendment rights for two selfish reasons.
First, as statists, they hate the idea that there is any limit on the power of the government/state to command and oppress the people/subjects.
Second, they are attacking gun rights as a dog & pony show/diversion to over shadow another big problem their big government is doing - our out of control government spending & borrowing. The left wants no serious discussion on cuts to spending so it it paints conservatives as heartless nuts who cling to guns, hate helping children and won’t help poor people.
Conservatives need to turn the tables. why does big government fear honest citizens who have had guns all these years and have behaved well? Why does big government insanely spend & borrow when four years of out of control spending has not improved the status of all of us, poor, middle class and even those called rich?
The biggest liar communist ever to dwell in the Whtie House will not disarm America no matter what stunt he pulls. The free republic would cease to exist if he succeeded.
R2KBA is core to Americans and Freedom. Obama’s Gestapo will learn what true Resistance looks like and it will not be pretty. The last time Clinton tried it, almost the entire Congress got the heave ho and Clinton only held onto office by the hair in his teeth — then Dems were trounced out for 8 years, and had to lie about the issue to barely win 2 president campaigns, and now they want to do it again like crack cocaine smokers — never mind the consequences.
George W Bush said it aptly: an expression widely used in Midland, TX, where I too was raised: “Bring it on!”.
Our nationalist socialist will learn the meaning of serving the public - the public does not serve him.
Eeee-yewww...
