Sorry, having to wait 72 hours to buy a gun does not equal confiscating your guns or banning guns.
It is not feasible because us gun nuts stand up and slap down politicians who try to take our guns.


when are you going to realize that the gun grabbers really do want to take guns from us?


Yea us! We win!

Having a waiting period to get an abortion is a violation of abortion rights to the very same people who want a waiting period on guns.

Having to present a paid voter ID card is a violation of voting rights to the very same people who want a paid license/registration requirement to own a gun.

So given that, why shouldn't the "paranoid gun nuts" object to placing burdens on excercising their 2nd amendment rights? Isn't it logical to conclude if someone who complains about a particular restriction on something being a violation of constitutional rights and then places the exact same restriction on something else that is given in the constitution as a right that they are in fact attempting to violate constitutional rights?

just bek i am paranoid does not mean they are not out to get me.
what is flawed in your reasoning is that you really believe a gun grab cant happen and wont happen and isnt happening.
did you ever stop to question why millions of dollars have already been spent to outlaw guns? mind you not just guns, LEGAL guns owned and acquired legally by citizens with no criminal record.

I 100% agree with you.

You know what is sadder than the gun nuts though?

The people living in these urban hell-holes being told by their elected officials that a couple minor changes to the gun laws will make them safer and that nothing else needs to be done.

They don't care as long as the sheep vote for them and keep the shooting to their own neighborhoods.

It would be worthwhile for some to read about the history of gun control and how it was originally proposed to take guns away from freed slaves and other minorities.

when are you people going to wake up and take a good look around? the gun grabbers want to eliminate ALL guns from the US citizenry, and they dont care if they have to step on the second amendment to do it. for instance, in new york they have passed a ban on certain weapons and magazines, and cuomo wants to do more. you cant legally carry a firearm in new york city unless you jump through thousands of hoops and prove that you dont need a firearm but are rich enough to donate to the proper political campaigns.

we have 22,000 gun laws in this country, and the vast super majority of them do nothing but prevent law abiding citizens owning firearms. take chicago for instance, they have some of the MOST restrictive gun laws in the country, and if they truly worked, then there would be NO gun crimes in the city, and yet they lead the nation in gun crimes.

as i have said before, the gun grabbers will take their time, get a few guns here and there banned under the auspices of do you really need that type of gun? and they will get more and more guns banned, until they are coming around for your muzzle loading black powder muskets.

dont be fooled into thinking that the second amendment is going to protect gun owners rights, understand that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. we cant stand by and let the gun grabbers have their way.

Calling them paranoid gun nuts is a good way to spark a healthy conversation (though I doubt that's what you really wanted to do )
