Quote: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?

The government passed the most unconstitutional law of all time with The Patriot Act. They will take whatever perceived freedoms they can. The reason it passed is because dumb Americans were made fearful and allowed it to happen. Which is something I cannot forget, especially when a presidential candidate is running a campaign of fear.


The Orlando gunman was known to be on a watch list and was still able to get an assault rifle almost immediately. Actions are being taken to make sure felons are able to get guns. People who have been Baker Act-ed or have been diagnosed as suicidal, homicidal or suffering from delusions like that guy who shot up the abortion clinic.. what law prevents them from having guns? Ask Wayne LaPierre who shouldn't have guns and I am not sure what response you'd get. (Talk about suffering from mental disorders, have you read his Twitter feed?) The absurd notion the government would be able to take away guns (I defy you to present any plan which could successfully accomplish this task) should not eliminate common sense laws which say not everyone should be able to get their hands on guns so easily. I know enough sane people who are patriotic gun owners I do not trust to not discharge their weapons accidentally. I shouldn't have to worry about a guy fresh from a terrorist training camp in Yemen being able to get an assault rifle on his lunch break.
