Which are prohibited? Maybe dealers can't sell certain types of firearms, but anyone can own just about anything. Private individuals owned warships in the 19th century. I currently know private persons who own fully functional cannons, bazookas, armed tanks, etc. It's a collector niche.

None of those counties are 'Orwellian'

These 'arguments' couldn't be more ridiculous. They're not even arguments, they're just words, like 'Orwellian' and 'Communism' and 'fascism' bandied around to see if anything sticks without actually any idea what the concepts are.

I know the internet is anonymous but the right seem to have lost any sense of personal pride in actually showing any kind of reason or rational thought process or knowledge base. It's just arguing nonsensically for arguments sake.
I guess that all depends on who you ask ? There have been plenty of politicians on video stating that is what they want.
As far as the people in these marches, who really knows what they want. I've been on both the March for our lives and never again websites looking for a detail plan on what they are marching for. Found nothing other than the same old buzz words and catch phrases. You would think a group that is making this much noise and gaining this much momentum would at least have something detailed out. The odd thing is how can people even follow a group without knowing their exact intentions.... some just like to follow I guess.


As far as "common sense legislation" , do you even have a clue what that would be ?


I'm all for background checks for all transfers , handgun, long gun, and high cap mags (what is high cap would need to be determined. ) new and secondary. Register long guns , just like some states do on handguns. Relax HIPAA laws so they can share their information with the BATF/NICS so at the point of sale , the FFL can make the decision or not to sell an individual. They already have that right, but now they can know a persons mental background to help in that decision.

So proud of this generation of children, standing up and using their voices in peaceful protest today.
Gun control is not the right side of history.

The fact that there is more outrage and anger towards teenagers who were apart of a massacre in their high school marching as opposed to the actual massacre itself just re-affrims that Trump supporters have zero redeemable qualities.

Yes, maybe if they knew what they were talking about...that would help them with their credibility.

They witnessed 17 classmates get slaughtered by a terrorist POS.

They couldn't care less about having any credibility with you.

Never mind the fact that their "credibility" wasn't the point of my post.

THEY witnessed it? I saw the size of that school - how many "campuses" did it have?


I doubt these chosen few who are on their tour saw anything. We can't verify that, can we?
