Why We Should Never Compromise On Gun Rights

[destriero]

My son's instagram. He's left of Bernie but he's only 14yo. I was raised in a family of Feds/OSS/CIA/State Dept. My dad was a Secret Service agent and did POTUS detail into his 30s.

We define ourselves as "armed Liberals"

Then the laws are not enforced. How long have guns been banned in Chicago?

Well, since before I left. So at least since 1998. FOID-cards since the mid80s or earlier.

BS on Switzerland. I used the country as example that comprehensive regulation and control surrounding ALL ASPECTS of gun ownership have a highly beneficial effect on low gun crimes and violence. You knew exactly the point I try to make.

Re New York would you argue NY is less safe than Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Houston, Oakland, .....?

All homeowners in SUI are issued SIG 55x series rifles.

Why are the "framers" worshipped like gods as if they could not have made grand mistakes in the phrasing and even inclusion of such idiotic amendment. Also, it would not be me who would knock on your door if indeed ownership of any or all of such type of weapons was banned and you would not comply. You would be served a search and/or arrest warrant by swat officers and you could choose to go rogue and literally bite the bullet or comply. But I am not postulating a total ban and retroactively would never work or be feasible but I am absolutely sure it would not be because of non compliant elements such as you posed in your little fantasy story.

You can lol all you like. I am not going to fight mag-confiscation. I would comply with a reasonable measure.

I can assure you that if you were tasked with knocking on my door to confiscate my legally-obtained firearms that you would shit yourself before you could say, "Hello" and that I would not be greeting you while holding a firearm.

To call the 2A an anachronism is an understatement. "Well regulated militia" is not an accurate reflection of our society and what the framers envisioned.

I like mechanical things. I like mechanical things that can protect my family in a wealthy neighborhood targeted by burglars.

But, "The bullets are out of the gun" so to speak w.r.t. interpretation of an >200yo Amendment. Blackpowder guns.

Bingo. And any clear thinking rational person would admit that the Parkland shooting was not the Broward County Sheriff's Office nor the FBI's finest hour.

Pass a gazillion laws. If you're not willing to enforce them then the effect is pure political theater.

Exact. What do you need an assault rifle for when your awesome handgun does the job just fine.

I have a Smith & Wesson Model 327 Performance Center revolver. It's SOTA. Eight shots of .357 mag. I can shoot eight into one ragged hole at 50 feet. Maybe a 1" group with .357. 3/4" with .38 Spl.

Yeah, it will do the job.

Cool then let's legalize all drugs. The war on drugs also never worked. How can some people live with such inherent contradictions?

Well, since before I left. So at least since 1998. FOID-cards since the mid80s or earlier.

Not true. Upon leaving military training one can keep his/her gun. Not all households are given guns. Where did you read that nonsense?

This is where your lack of knowledge regarding firearms is getting you a bit sideways. Point being, he can ( and I do not doubt ) empty 8 rounds out of his Smith and Wesson revolver accurately just about as fast as he could empty 8 rounds out of your common Glock semi-auto pistol. Not quite as fast but if the objective is to hit what you're aiming at the time difference is not as great as you'd think - damned close.
