Funny, I’m not aware of any of that although they are mostly junk guns.

Founding Fathers: Gentlemen, I suggest we word this 2nd amendment more carefully. Someday in the wilderness frontier beyond us there may be morons born who try to restrict gun rights of citizens by misinterpreting it.

I believe this goes back to the 1960s when zinc framed “Saturday Night Special” handguns were blamed for all crime in the country.

So various cities or states banned zinc framed firearms.

“...The politicians who continue to try to violate citizen’s natural rights that have been upheld and confirmed by the USSC, and that remain upheld and confirmed, need to be held personally liable for those violations.”

Seconded.

Yes. That’s our experience with many D’s— insane, period. False premises. Fake facts. And completely lacking logic.

At least since the early 2000’s.
Maybe it’s something in the water? Or more likely, certain junk @food@ hamburgers (known for their high and varied chemical content ) ?

I believe that’s actually a shift for them. Thought it was *no* guns.

Democratic politicians are stupid enough to take guns from law-abiding Americans.

The only reason we have concealed carry here in Illinois is because the politicians are charging us hundreds of dollars off of it.
When we moved seven years ago, I had to pay the State of Illinois $80.00 just to CHANGE MY ADDRESS, and that was only for the CCP.

The constution has been watered down consistently since this country started. There are plenty of laws in place that are clearly unconstitutional. Conversely, there are plenty of laws that were or are forbidden that are constitutional like outlawing abortion for example.

Before the ink was even dry on the document, evil people got to work subverting it and that subversion continues today at all levels of government.
