God, the insanity.... daleanime Nov 2015 #1

You know, I don't fear confiscation because the controllers don't have the juice... Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #4

And where exactly is the moderation from the side of the gundamentalists? LonePirate Nov 2015 #9

Where? beevul Nov 2015 #13

Your comment #15 is representative of extreme prohibitionism... Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #17

So your support of something in the Constitution is not extreme but my support is? LonePirate Nov 2015 #20

No. Your "gist" is prohibition. Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #21

You're essentially saying incrementalism is worse than thousands of needless deaths each year. LonePirate Nov 2015 #25

Our justice system would get many more convictions sarisataka Nov 2015 #26

We may disagree on the need to repeal the 2A but I do respect your overall Constitution support LonePirate Nov 2015 #30

Firearms aren't the root problem of the violence Panich52 Nov 2015 #45

The current approach by controllers IS a prohibition model... Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #2

Do You endorse confiscation? N/T beevul Nov 2015 #14

I endorse confiscation once we embed it in the Constitution. LonePirate Nov 2015 #15

Is that supposed to be some sort of cover... beevul Nov 2015 #16

Tens of millions may feel that right is important but tens of millions also vote Republican. LonePirate Nov 2015 #18

And people are just supposed to agree with you... beevul Nov 2015 #22

If you want to talk objectively, then people obviously don't need guns - they simply want them. LonePirate Nov 2015 #27

Objectively. beevul Nov 2015 #29

I suppose you have a Scarlet Letter system to identify that alleged .1%, right? LonePirate Nov 2015 #31

By behavior. beevul Nov 2015 #32

You said to focus on the .1% but you never said how to do it. How are we to identify them? LonePirate Nov 2015 #33

No, I didn't. beevul Nov 2015 #36

Would you please take a guess at what percentage of gun owners would fight/kill jmg257 Nov 2015 #34

Impossible to say, really. Lizzie Poppet Nov 2015 #35

I think a majority of states would actively resist any such attempt Lurks Often Nov 2015 #50

Thanks (and Lizzy too). I didn't think of state reactions, etc. vs individuals. jmg257 Nov 2015 #53

Unlikely, states recognize it would never hold up to judicial scrutiny Lurks Often Nov 2015 #58

There might be an answer to that in the drug wars. Lizzie Poppet Nov 2015 #68

Perhaps, may even see some state actively prevent Federal law enforcement Lurks Often Nov 2015 #69
