Apologies, the quote function didn't work on the last two paragraphs of my response. Logic never seems to get in the way of your arguments, so why should the NRA worry about it? Who hunts rabbits or deer with teflon jacketed ammo or bump stocks? I think, as usual, you're getting your news from the lunatic left wing media. You've already proven yourself to poorly understand firearms multiple times. Do crazy folks exist? Hell yes they do. That's why law enforcement exists - they need to do their job. None of your laws would have prevented Cruz from shooting up the school. Law enforcement, on the other hand, would have prevented it entirely.
Now you're not making any sense at all. Sorry I wasted my time responding previously. In a democracy the majority isn't always right, but it should always be in charge; yet willing to compromise for the sake of not trampling more than absolutely necessary on minority interests. It is the politicians responsibility to articulate issues and help the majority reach consensus based on logic and fact. Some of our politicians are failing badly in this latter respect. And worse yet, gerrymandering and the influence of political money has got so extreme that the majority viewpoint isn't even represented proportionately on some major issues. This is how democracies break down. They are fragile forms of imperfect government, but less imperfect than some other less fragile forms.
I think this was to maximumpossiblesuffering and not me, but since you didn't quote the post you were responding to, who knows? I will say that this is a republic, not a democracy, which is why the majority didn't get to choose the President.
Parkland shooter always in trouble, never expelled. Could school ... www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article201216104.html Feb 20, 2018 These districts fought the school-to-prison pipeline. Can Pittsburgh ... https://www.publicsource.org/these-districts-fought-the-school-to-prison-pipeline-can-... Aug 1, 2017 The people who presume themselves to be our betters decided they wanted to fight the 'school to prison pipeline' and let minorities get away with infractions that should have gotten them kicked out of school. And the obama disadministration promoted it. This is on top of the FBI ignoring all the warnings. Did the FBI ignore the warnings because the kid had a minority sounding name, also? There is no end to the destructive policies this country is implementing in the effort by one party to buy the minority vote. If these policies weren't in place, the kids at Parkland would still be alive. It's the left's fault. And the rino right for being to squeamish to oppose it.
You should take a look at the budget. Our government doesn’t spend very much on “social programs.” The majority of “social programs” are Medicare and social security and those programs have designated taxes for funding.
I am not on board with bargaining away fundamental rights for spending cuts. NOT FOR FRIGGING SALE!!!!!!!!!!1 Ditto for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. NOT FOR SALE!!
Yeah cuz how can we even American with not my asshault rifel and handguns? How could we pretect hourselves wit just rifels and shootguns? Not for sale! It's a fun da mental right too hav a assuallt rifel and a cool handgun !! It makes us men dammit !
Sounds like you are backtracking your previous argument. The title of the thread is “Why We Should Never Compromise On Gun Rights.”. It appears you have unwittenly supported the OP’s title statement. The Left has a long, hard road ahead of itself if it believes they can change the status quo on something that tramples upon the rights of many Americans, even if they are not the majority for absolutely nothing in return.
The longer some common sense reform is shelved the worse the eventual outcome will become. No idea how and when, but it might happen. A tragedy of enormous proportion could cause something as horrible as 2nd amendment repeal. Amendments are not set in stone, our constitution allows a repeal. But meanwhile, keep on fighting reasonable reforms.
I agree with you. Was testing my premis that the other side of the issue expects everything yet provides nothing, hence the OP’s assertion.
