Jack -
We don't negotiate with terrorists - and we don't negotiate with socialists.
and for the same reason.
Alright, I'm new here so if this is not the correct place for policy discussion, please direct me to the correct place.
In light of the recent shooting and the momentum behind the gun control lobby at the present time, it is almost impossible for even the likes of the NRA to hold everything in place. Compromise is needed, and we need to be the ones who propose it first or risk an unfavorable law, like an AWB, being shoved down our throats. The question is, what would be a favorable compromise?
My answer is this: create a nationwide licence that you receive at no charge when you have a background check. You can then display this licence, provided it is recent, that will allow you to buy firearms. This applies to both private sale and to sales by licensed dealers. This would close the "Gun show loophole" without making gun shows illegal, and it would be more comprehensive, covering all private sales. Further, it would be a political victory for the Democrats who have been striving so hard to close the loophole and typically back off after a victory like this, while not infringing on the rights of law abiding gun owners.
What are your opinions of this?
We have a nationwide license, it's called the 2A and was paid for in full by all the patriots of the revolutionary and every war that we have been in.
It's just that we have all those damned elected officials that think they can further infringe without "infringing".
I agree.And gridlock is a win for us.
Yes, we need some water soluble gun lube.As I have replied every other time this topic has come up, since the massacre, not only NO, but HELL NO!!
Our ancestors compromised in '34 and got screwed. We compromised in '68 and got screwed. We compromised in '94 and got screwed. Anyone seeing a pattern here?
Sorry, ArmedProgrammer, I'm out of rep for 24 hours, come back later.Jack -

Thank you for the sacrifice you have suffered for our country. I lost my son 4 yrs ago so I have some idea of the depth of your loss.That gives you the right to express your opinion and exercise your right to free speech.

The goal is the socialists is disarmament of the American people as others have mentioned.
Does anybody think a complete ban on semi auto rifles would end with that? Next they would want to ban "dangerous" bolt action "sniper rifles", then handguns that are "just made to kill". It won't end until we are disarmed completely. This fight will never be over.
