All you 2A haters need to look back into history to see what happens to a disarmed populace.

There are millions of guns in the U.S. There is no way to make them all disappear so the crazies will
always be able to get a gun. Armed Americans can defend themselves. Don't be so quick to let fear
cause you to lose that right.

The "gun" also keeps the Fed from further interfering with our lives. Of course the hand always out crowd
is all for that.

The words of one of our founding Father's never rang truer than they do today! Don't be a sheep!

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Ben Franklin

Big thumbs up for understanding that related items can all fit into the same thread without having to create 8 news ones for every little thing.

You seem a bit confused.

Conservatives respect the authority of the Constitution as written and understand that with freedom comes personal responsibility.

It is liberals who are forever seeking to expand the federal government's authority and underminig the Constitution, states's rights and rights of the people.

The only hypocrisy is from Wallace who set up and knocked down strawman after strawman - and YOU know it.

The NRA and its CEO are doing Lady Liberty's work, while schumcks mock him.

Disgracefull.

If you don't support the RKBA, you are free to continue to be a defenseless target. Nodbody says you should be forced to have the means to defend yourself, and for most of the anti-RAKBA ilk, that is probably a good thing, but Liberty, True Liberty, DEMANDS that a free people have the right to enforce their own freedom, from external and internal threats with force of personal arms.

And, if the assaults of the RKBA continues, you most likely are going to see just that, Free Americans defending their Liberty with force of arms, and it won't be pretty.

You have to remember, it is those that are most ignorant about firearms and current gun laws that are the loudest shrills for more "gun control".

No children should be targets of political gamesmanship, and that is what we have here. They are using kids for political gain. NRA is just responding to the outcry by coming up with a solution that should appease those concerns.
but they are special which is the problem with your argument. I doubt there is even one person in this country who has ever thought up a plan to kidnap your child, but there are probably a couple thousand who have written one to get Obama's and even some senators and congressman. Hell; He had assassination attempts before he even accepted the nomination in Denver, we have had morons shoot at the white house, People in tennessee buy weapons for a proposed assault on it. There was that guy in Miami with body armor, tear gas and 4 different types of guns and 500 rounds of ammo. The moron in NC who said he was going to take out the entire family and was turned in to the secret service 4 different time and none of those stories were in the news when it happened so that means the 4 people that turned him in didnt know about the other cases. OH and then there was last year, when we found out that there was an anachist cell within the US military. One of the soldiers arrested had even killed another soldier and his girlfriend because they knew of the cell.

Case uncovers terror plot by soldiers to kill Obama

so tell me, Are soldiers plotting to kill you ? How about white power groups ? Anyone planned to take your children hostage and only release them when you resign from office ???

Who is against the 2nd Amendment? There are many gun owners, and many NRA members who support intelligent gun reforms. There are already gun reforms on the books, so your post is pretty meaningless.

You have proof to back up this statement? Are you referring to me? I grew up surrounded by firearms.
