needledriver: .. "The Democrats aren't coming for your guns" as part of a long list debunking right wing paranoid claims? If you live in California, or Maryland, or New York the Democrats ARE coming for your guns.

Specious strained reasoning from needledriver. The democrat party is not coming for the predominance of american firearms, only a small proportion of the national gunstock to be banned in conforming states - firearms which in good part morphed from rifles with automatic capabilities many of which can be backfitted to full automatic with common tools or conversion kits.
Even these are not to be banned in other states, nor confiscated, just controlled, so your emboldened premise above is invalid convoluted reasoning.
The democrat party wants to preserve gun control sanity to participating blue states with more urban populations, by proscribing semi-automatic rifles commonly termed 'assault rifles',

needledriver: California. Maryland. New York. Nice reliable blue voting states. Even if you are "deplorable or "stupid" it is clear to see that if you vote Democratic you are voting for a party that has an active policy of eroding your right to keep and bear arms.

Biggest bunch of bull**** I've read this month. About the only thing 'clear' in your ugly diatribe above is that you yourself, imo, fit in your personality trait descriptions. There is nothing 'clear' that you contend, only specious twisted reasoning.
Your transmogrified fear of democrats 'eroding' rkba is akin to washing your car and worrying about it being carried off in a flood.
States have a right to decide for themselves which gun control policies work best for their own state, and not have to prostrate themselves to specious sanctimonious gun lobby arguments like what you proffer above,
If you don't like the gun laws in california or new york or md or hawaii, move to a red state where you can shoot off your assault rifle as much as you like while scaring the **** out of the saner republicans living there.

needledriver: Why is it that Liberals will twist themselves into emotional knots defending the right of Nazis to exercise their freedom of speech by parading through a Jewish neighborhood,...

Huh? you can provide some source for this contention? This is not in any way a general trait of liberals, just warped disinformation.

.. but lose their shit if one of those same Nazis wants to own a black aluminum and plastic semi automatic rifle?

This sounds like trump rationale. Or rather bannon I should say. Let me get this BS straight, you are OK with an american nazi or neo nazi walking thru a jewish neighborhood with an AK47 or AR15? does it at least need be shouldered? or is it an rkba infringement if not allowed to carry on the hip?

What quality of "Right" does Freedom of Speech or Worship have that the "Right" to Keep and Bear Arms does not possess?

You did not need be part of a well regulated militia to exercise the first right(s).

And all guns are weapons of war so this bans all guns scscholar Feb 2017 #1
