I would LOVE to see the democrats ban handguns via legislation.
I can’t say for sure, but I think it would trigger a catastrophic backlash against the gun-grabbers that would be unstoppable. Republicans would be swept in with landslide victories and the laws would be overturned almost immediately.
Shades of 1994, IMHO. It would set the gun-grabbers back 50 years.
The way the anti-gun crowd is going about it now has been text-book brilliant. They are incrementally chipping away at gun ownership block by block. Using the ATF to close dealers. Banning guns one at a time, starting with those least popular with the non-gun public. Raising taxes, fees and other costs until guns and ammunition are un-affordable to any but the rich.
A bold, sweeping ban would be the dumbest thing they could possibly do. I welcome it!
Living free. Haven’t died. Yet... Cheers!
This means the closing of the NFA registry moved it from arguably a legitamate TAX, to a prohibition and therefore illegal.
This is just one of MANY tangential arguments bandied about around this issue.
The bottom line is still this:
End of story...
robertpaulson is an anti-gun whack-job who strives to disrupt the useful discourse we have in discussing these topics. He is completely wrong in his logic, completely wrong in his definitions, completely wrong in his convenient misinterpretation of the law, especially of the Constitution, and completely wrong in his arguments.
The best any and all of us can ever do is to Completely Ignore Him and let his verbal diarrhea simply circle the toilet bowl on the way down. I’m dumbfounded that some folks here still try to engage him in logical discussion. The activity defines the phrase “exercise in futility”.
The smart money is to completely ignore him. He will never go away but ignoring him reduces his disruption on the forum. He strives to destroy every thread on FR about the 2nd amendment, and everyone who posts comments to him, no matter how well intended, only helps him cause more damage than he can cause alone all by himself.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not reply to robertpaulson.
I am begging you please to ignore robertpaulsen.
He is a troll who’s only goal is to disrupt all RKBA posts by hijacking them.
His method, which has worked brilliantly so far, is to make outrageous claims and bait you into wasting your energy trying to convince him and educate him. Which is not possible, since it is not his goal.
His goal is to hijack the threads. He does so successfully anytime people respond to him.
I personally know how hard it is to let such ignorance just go without succumbing to the temptation to educate. But trust me, you only play into his hands when you fall for this temptation.
The only way to prevent him from consistently hijacking these threads is to completely ignore him and to not respond to any of his posts, no matter how outrageous or how badly he gets your goat.
I’m begging you to please ignore him in the future, for the sake of reasonable discussions on these RKBA posts. Thank you.

Please don’t do that. Couldn’t you have just FReepmailed everyone? Not trying to nag, but it looks bad.
