Compromise on gun control has always been one-sided. We always give, they always take.

If we give any more, we’ll lose a vital freedom just as we really need it.

The ability of the people to resist tyranny can not be vanquished from the Earth.

Saltpeter, the basic ingredient of gunpowder, can be made from what normally gets flushed down toilets.

Any politician who speaks of “gun control” is scientifically ignorant.

Yeah, he’s toast.

Tens of thousands pouring over our southern border. Criminals, gang bangers, people infected with COVID, child rapists, and not one single word of discussion can be tolerated and we have to wear face diapers and be locked down. And “we” (meaning law abiding people) are forever called upon to negotiate away our God-given rights.

NO SALE! Next.

Who cares if there’s more than one mass shooting event per day by a clearly insane demoKKKrat person who nevertheless was able to obtain deadly firearms? What’s the big deal?

There, fixed it for you.

In the 18th century, “well-regulated” meant “well trained.”

The federal government should mandate cheaper and more plentiful ammunition so everyone could afford to have more range time.

Yawn.

Meaning “well equipped”.

I take gun advice from actors like I take movie making advice from my gun dealer.

Why doesn’t Matthew have a conversation with the idiots at the FBI who are repeatedly warned about potential mass shooters but choose to do nothing?

Marjorie Stoneman High School in Palm Beach County.....Indianapolis....Boulder....even the muzzies who carried out the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.

Then there was the potential mass shooting in Garland, Texas by mooselimbs who were upset at the Muhammed drawing contest.

That shooting never happened because the local cops foiled it....the feds knew what was going to happen and, as usual, they didn’t do squat.

In the context used at the time, ‘well regulated” means well equipped.
And it is not a condition for keeping and bearing arms. It is actually a GOAL of not infringing the right to keep bear arms. The Founders wanted a well equipped militia to protect the nation and liberty, so there was to be no infringement on keeping and bearing arms.

Just a pretty boy trying to play both sides, and jumping out in front of a football team like he expects it to help.

Every team has at least one, just to be fair.

Neither side is talking about good guys

The incident at San Antonio airports last week where a guy was loaded with ammo aiming to shoot random people at the airport. A Texan with a gun took him out.

Matthew what’s his name cannot acknowledge that so he is a non starter.

An actor with name recognition will score higher than anyone for a
Month but no.

Looking down from his high horse planted firmly on the fence. How noble and wise. PFT!

When I want thoughtful insight on gun control I’ll listen to bubble dwelling narcissistic substance abusing self absorbed drama queens with their own private security who got insanely rich parroting lines given to them and playing make believe. And to think when I was a kid I was made fun of for believing pro wrestling was real.
