Oooh look, it can speak DonP Apr 2016 #11

Wow, a response Duckhunter935 Apr 2016 #12

Fair enough - Although credible sources could be a matter of opinion. aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #16

"Or should we do nothing and watch the numbers rise? " DonP Apr 2016 #18

One firearm death is one too many..... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #19

"how can we move to a consensus to protect the 2nd and the rest of Americans?" beevul Apr 2016 #20

An open minded discussion allows for good conversation...... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #23

Except anti-gunners do not have open minds. beevul Apr 2016 #25

Gun Control talking points..... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #32

Yup. beevul Apr 2016 #33

All we need is an unbiased SC who rejects the monstrosity known as "Heller" and Actor Apr 2016 #26

Why do you think the 2d limits gun ownership to militia members TeddyR Apr 2016 #29

In other words, you want a biased court. beevul Apr 2016 #34

"The majority of Americans DO want gun control - based on polling data. " DonP Apr 2016 #24

gun studies by the VPC is like a climate change study gejohnston Apr 2016 #13

All very good points TeddyR Apr 2016 #14

The control side has to buy into some myths DonP Apr 2016 #15

The "Do Nothing" approach isn't working to reduce firearm deaths aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #17

"The "Do Nothing" approach..." beevul Apr 2016 #21

Of course we do nothing. aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #27

You can stop with the pretense. beevul Apr 2016 #31

Unfettered access to guns? - Sounds like the middle east! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #38

Ahh, more pretense. beevul Apr 2016 #42

OK - maybe unfetterred was not the best word to use aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #43

It was predictable. beevul Apr 2016 #49

Ahhh, there's that word again; Compromise - "What are you willing to give up?" DonP Apr 2016 #52

Ed Zachary. beevul Apr 2016 #53

I think they just desperately want to think of themselves as "moderates" on gun control DonP Apr 2016 #55

I can appreciate conjecture........but........ aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #56

Its not conjecture. beevul Apr 2016 #59

Simple Definition of conjecture : an opinion or idea formed without proof or sufficient evidence aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #61

"I have come here...with the objective of trying to draw some consensus" I doubt that very much friendly_iconoclast Apr 2016 #67

Glad you came to post! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #70

OK, which *extant* gun regulation(s) would you be willing to give up, in exchange for others? friendly_iconoclast Apr 2016 #71

I have learned alot from this forum but... aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #74

Gonna fold for now...you have given me plenty to ponder aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #76

Fair enough. beevul Apr 2016 #78

You've pointed out once again the gun controller's fraudulent version of 'reasonableness': friendly_iconoclast Apr 2016 #73

Almost missed this post aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #79

an assault weapon is any gun gejohnston Apr 2016 #39

Interesting talking points on assault weapons aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #41

still not one valid argument gejohnston Apr 2016 #44

Valid argument? Who's arguing? aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #48

"Assault weapons" are civilian non-automatics (mostly small caliber), not machineguns. benEzra Apr 2016 #50

I can appreciate being specific in this forum aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #58

They are indeed rifles. The most common rifles in U.S. homes, in fact. benEzra Apr 2016 #68

Thank you benEzra! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #77

You're welcome. Straw Man Apr 2016 #54

I didn't say anything about doing nothing gejohnston Apr 2016 #35

This is a perfect example of why... beevul Apr 2016 #36

Very interesting analysis aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #46

"Assault weapons" are legal in Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, Hungary, Switzerland, Finland... benEzra Apr 2016 #51

Informative post! aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #57

Is your goal saving lives or culture war? gejohnston Apr 2016 #60

Hmmm...it is reducing deaths, but it is quickly becoming a culture war aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #62

It has always been about culture gejohnston Apr 2016 #64

Thank you gejohnston aurelius2112 Apr 2016 #66

Were it not for the ongoing Holy War against lawful and responsible ownership, benEzra Apr 2016 #63
