Quote:The 2nd amendment is there to keep government in check, yet the majority of the ammosexuals in America are pseudo tough guy pussycats. Every one of those "open carry" faketriots ran and hid when those cops were ambushed in Dallas. I thought the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun? There will be no revolution. The government can and will do what it pleases, because the majority of these 2nd Amendment gun nuts are minimally trained cowards who feel macho with a gun in their hands (so long as nobody is shooting back.)


While bad guys will get their hands on guns regardless, I still feel we make it way too easy for people on terrorist watch lists or who are diagnosed with mental disorders to get guns. To say doing something to close those loopholes wouldn't decrease the number of attacks is not logical to me. It won't solve the issue, but I cannot see how there would not be a decrease in incidents by implementing the most basic screening and restriction policies. Doing something is better than doing nothing.


Calling an AR-15 a non-military weapon (I get the MSR classification) does not prevent it from firing 45 rounds per minute. What are you hunting that requires that type of performance if it isn't humans?

What open carry members were in Dallas during that BLM rally?  I'm fairly certain that would have been given hyper coverage by the salivating media looking for a possible right-wing angle to exploit.  The only open carry guy I saw was a gentleman who was mistaken for one of the shooters in the media who turned himself in to show that he wasn't one of the shooters.  Using Dallas as an example is weak at best. 

 

The government is certainly going to try to do what it wants without regard for the constitution, but there comes a point when it oversteps it's role one time too many, and the people push back.  We've been fortunate over the course of the past 240 years that the push back has come at the ballot box, and we've only seen one period of civil unrest that resulted in war being fought.  To say it won't happen is naive because it very well could happen again, especially if the government continues to expand their power and intrusion into our lives beyond what is prescribed in the Constitution.  It's clear you're perfectly fine to bend over and accept whatever daddy government tells you to do.  Not everyone is so compliant, or willing to give up their liberties for the sake of a more bloated centralized government. 

 

You think it's far too easy to get guns, and that more regulation is required.  What regulations are missing right now?  Be specific about exactly what isn't being done currently whether it involves mental health, criminal history, or anything else for that matter. Don't just use the nebulous "Terror Watch List" or "Mental Health Checks" nonsense.  Tell me what the precise current laws are on these "loopholes", and not just the media spoon-fed politically correct garbage you're spewing here.

 

A Glock can fire 45 rounds in a minute.  Should we ban them too?  Should we just ban everything but muskets so that you're happy?
