General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: "We stop being something to be proud of when we love our guns more than we love our children" [View all]you sound just as nutty as the NRA does when they blame video games. I have no such list, and as long as you aren't buying votes, rigging elections, suppressing voters, or lobbying laws that will fill your own pockets, you are not even remotely who I am talking about. You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, you are just wrong. I know you will refute this, but it falls on deaf ears.
All I am doing is defending our rights based on their founding principles. Nothing more.
I get the feeling you think we should ban guns entirely to PREVENT these things I am talking about, to which I say again, should that happen, I hope your descendents enjoy the coming tyranny as you asked for it for them.
Ultimately, in this country we should never have to flex the muscle that the 2nd amendment affords as the mere threat is what should keep our government in line, and to an extent that works today. However, if you take away the guns or limit them so much as to offer no threat at all, there will BE no restraint.
I get it, you don't like it, but that doesn't change the fact that the right to bear arms exists, is not going anywhere, and it exists for a purpose that is still VERY relevant today.
