I've never been on a website or read a single book about "gun grabbing" or gun laws. My opinions are simply common sense developed over decades of actual rational thought.

With all these "pencils are dangerous weapons" fools you have here, it's fairly obvious who spends more time frequenting "brainwashing" forums and websites, and it isn't the "gun grabbers." You really have to be severely short on common sense, intellect, or maturity to think that is a valid comparison.
If you claim to be a proponent of rational thought, then why do you refer to pro-constitution people with irrational labels, like "gun nut", "fetishists", or "children".

You are driven by emotion, not reason, and that is the among the defining aspects of a liberal.

It would be nice to simply cut through all the crap and just keep guns out of the hands of crazy people, but we can't keep guns out of ANYBODY'S HANDS in this country. So sadly this kind of thing will never stop, and there's no solution.
The laws do that but under very narrow conditions because Americans once abused the mental health system and had people committed for no reason whatsoever.

If this is true, then why are you targeting the object rather than the people who use them recklessly, or the underlying causes (mental health issues, etc...) that produce such actions.

I wouldn't want to stop a person's right to choose the best tool to get the job done.

If that is true, why do so many gun activist say that if the second amendment is repealed, amended or modified there will be a second American Revolution or Civil War even if the process is done legally?

Doesn't sound much like love of country to me...sorry to say.

The gun grabbers consider anyone who would ever consider owning a gun a nut - so long as they aren't gang members in Chicago.

it will never happen. if the second amendment is "repealed" and they start coming for guns, a war will be a default. good luck collecting them. no one would ever be dumb enough to try to disarm citizens. law enforcement would lose that battle. they'd have to nuke cities. never happen.

Liberals ignore inconvenient facts.

They count on the idea that many people are ignorant about laws, so when they claim that background checks aren't taking place, your typical low information liberal voter will believe it, and join the attack on the "evil" NRA and pro-constitution citizens.
