...the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.
If you're sure you want my guns and ammunition, I'll give you some bullets.
Nicely put. There is nothing "common-sense" or "sensible" about any of this legislation. Gun prohibitionists do not deal in good faith and need to be treated as the liars and manipulators that they are.
I often wonder where the limit is for any leftist?
* “Abortion” of babies up to 18 years of age?
* “Marrying” your son, daughter, cat, aardvark, canary?
* 100% taxation on your income with a small stipend from the government to live on?
* Require papers to cross the street in front of your house?
* You WILL work at the job the government assigns to you?
* All whites living in forced labor camps?
“Progressives” never ever share their blueprint for the future.
There are plenty of areas on which we’d be willing to compromise, if the antis actually offered one. But they never have.
But there are a few issues we simply cannot allow. And universal background checks is probably the most important.
What universal background checks do is to reverse the presumption of innocence, with respect to firearms. They would create an environment in which simple possession of a firearm would be presumed to be a criminal act, unless proper paperwork was on file with the government - and hadn’t been lost or misfiled.
The idea is so far beyond the pale that it’s astounding that anyone could even conceive of it as being something that could be accepted as a compromise.
bump for later review...
America will end up like Stalin’s Russia if we are all systematically disarmed.
Afterall, it is the democrat who more closely identifies with Josef than he/she does with the American way of life.
They are as dangerous as they are worthless, which is why I refusr to trust anything out of their filthy mouths.
