Laws do not work.
I guess he didn’t get the Chicago Memo.
There is no common ground with totalitarian control fanatics.
If they don’t like guns, nobody is forcing them to buy them, unlike 0bunga-care.
The title should say, “Yids Promote Gun Control and Totalitarianism.”
I was sort of shocked a couple of weeks back when the Tacoma Tribune actually had an editorial basically saying that the problem wasn't guns, but mental cases that should be locked up out walking around off their meds, and that we needed to do more on the mental health aspect.
His comparison to drunk drivers is nonsense.
This social movement he’s talking about is against people that drink excessively and then endanger lives by driving.
You cannot compare this to gun owners to stay within the law and endanger no one’s life except the criminal.

or will beat = or we will beat
Given the plain wording of the 2nd Amendment, extreme gun lobbying would be demanding that illegal alien gangs and Somali Islamists should be given poison gas and nerve agents by a program of government grants and training in their use.
Time to compromise. At least, for them it’s time. I’m done giving ground for no real gain.
Here’s my stance in a nutshell, as penned by one of my favorite Authors...
“Every man, woman, and responsible child has a natural, fundamental, and inalienable human, individual, civil, and Constitutional right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon — handgun, shotgun, rifle, machinegun, anything — any time, anywhere, without asking anyone’s permission.
— L. Neil Smith, The Atlanta Declaration “
Anything that detracts from that is instantly off the table as far as I’m concerned.
OK,let's not go overboard here.Just a few months ago I attended a talk at a suburban Boston synagogue given by Mark Steyn.Yes,*that* Mark Steyn...and he was,BTW,outstanding.Even better than when he fills in for Rush.Before he spoke the congregation's Rabbi spoke and he,too,was outstanding.He's clearly a friend of ours.That synagogue,IIRC,books many conservative writers,commentators and pundits to speak so...there are always exceptions.
“Every man, woman, and responsible child has a ...Constitutional right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon — handgun, shotgun, rifle, machinegun, anything — any time, anywhere, without asking anyone’s permission.”
The constitution says “arms”, not semi-automatic rifles, or pistols, so plainly, if you believe we have a constitutional right to “bear arms” then you are correct that there is no constitutional limitation as to what we should be able to possess and use. I don’t know why the NRA and other supporters of the Second Amendment have allowed the debate to be merely about the rights to own assault weapons and the like. They should know better.
Arms. Armaments. Essentially, anything that you could use as a weapon for the purpose of defense of yourself, your family, your property, or your Nation.
So yes, everything up to and including multi-billion dollar Destroyers and Aircraft carriers.
If you can afford to buy it on your own, store it safely without infringing on your Neighbors equal Rights to their property, and can use it without harming anyone other than your attacker? Go for it.
Before folks say, “Is this guy nuts? Why would we let people own nukes?” I can think of any number of things civilians could do with privately owned nukes. From asteroid mining to nuclear propulsion devices currently outlawed by our Federal government.
You ****ing communists get this and get this good... OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS ARE UNALIENABLE AND WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE ANY INFRINGEMENT!
Exactly what “law” will the non-law-abiding be subject to, Mister Compromise?
You used that word... “unalienable”...
I think the left needs to understand what that means.
It means we can’t give it away even if we wanted to. It’s inherent.
Any compromise with evil is a loss for good.
I will not compromise...there is no “common ground” with evil.
Hey MAC!
“meaningful gun control legislation” is already on the books!!
YOU are not ENFORCING THE LAWS WE HAVE!!
PUT THE CRIMINALS IN JAIL!!!!
THAT is all that needs to change to control gun violence!!!!
Actually we are already standing on common ground.
It’s called the Constitution although they seem to
think it’s just something to wipe your feet on.
