So these weapons are OK for their protection but not ours?

OK, got it.
Don’t worry, the capitol can have National guard troops and huge fences, but not the southern border or small businesses.

There are already thousands of laws, including laws against murder. What function is layering useless laws on already useless laws...

What are you kidding? We need to have more mayhem, this way we can pass even more asinine gun laws that only affect those who lawfully own them.

Ofcourse you don’t have a problem with it, it won’t stop inner city crime, just how you like it. Blacks destroying one another with illegally acquired weapons while you pat yourself on the back over window dressing gun laws.

Of course they're popular in the polls.

Because most of the people being polled are clueless. Many people probably believe in the "gun show loophole" myth.

If any of these stupid gun laws goes into effect I sure hope there are consequences for those who pushed said laws. Such as.....high capacity magazine ban.....oh no a shooting just took place by someone with a large magazine. Looks like that ban sure worked.....not. Those who voted for it along with Biden and his whole administration shall be open to lawsuits (for the duration they remain alive) because their “gun control” failed the families.

This isn't the wild west.

Gun reform has for years and years been a contention. 2nd amendment is not in jeopardy.

That's because every law passed, every "reform" is a baby step towards the ultimate goal.

That darn 2nd amendment keeps the Dem wolves at bay.....but it doesn't keep them from trying to eat the elephant one bite at a time.


Every gun law ever passed is a violation of the 2nd amendment.

And you want more "compromise" from the Right?

Tell me, what are you willing to give up in return in this "compromise"??

Solve? No! Minimize? Yes!

Do traffic laws “solve” accidents? Not really. Minimize them? Absolutely. We don’t ditch traffic laws because they don’t solve 100% of all accidents, but they are there for the benefit of society. Although sometimes they can be annoying. When I hurry to work and the red light stops me for a long time - it’s very annoying. Still I don’t want to get rid of it. It’s the same with firearms.

And when did rights become subject to popular opinion?
