Quote:No sir not me, gun control is code talk for the state dictating what you as a civilian are allowed to defend yourself with and to what extent, which nullifies the purpose of the 2nd Amendment in the first place. People are quick to claim the NRA and others that oppose gun control legislation are all nuts but the reality is while the NRA isn't perfect they are the biggest voice against a tide of opposition. I support them and donate to them because they stand against most legislation looking to restrict my ability to bear arms.

 

I could give you all the talking points but we've all heard them. To me the best argument demonstrating the need for an armed populace is history, historically legislation preludes registration which leads to confiscation. I'd rather oppose the legislation then ignore the registration and ultimately have to fight the confiscation.

That's the problem with gun culture in this country. An attempt to have a reasonable to discussion about potential gun control laws is met with screams of oppression and tyranny. Why because maybe someone wants to limit fully auto guns or the ability to buy a friggin tank? Other's see it as safety for our society. I don't believe for a second the ability to buy military grade weapons of our level of technological advancement is exactly what the founders had in mind with the 2nd amendment.
