Seriously? 2nd doesnt govern chemical weapons or explosives it doesnt include hunting either ---

There’s protests scheduled this weekend outside the Saratoga gun show. I guess they’ve got “angel cutouts” to represent each of the people killed in sandy hook. If I was a responsible gun owner attending this gun show I’d be flat out offended by that. ---

With my very simple system they would have had to have a private mental screening to get the guns because in order to get those meds you need to see a therapist, and they would have failed I’m sure. ---

That lady that shot the intruder and protected her family, should have her kids march right along side those people protesting with cutouts of mommy holding a shotgun in one hand with angle wings on her back and a piece of paper with 2nd ammendment written on the front in the other hand ---

KK, one of the big things people do when they get a shotty for home defense is figure out how they would use it. Where the safe directions to shoot are, what shot they should be using to keep their families and neighbors safe etc. ---

I was at the gun show yesterday. There was about 2 dozen anti gun protestors who were screaming and in everyone’s faces, just brig very rude and in your face. Along side them was probably 3 dozen pro gun protestors standing there calmy and holding signs. ---

Most basic examples of explosives is mines/IED’s. If the government was coming to take over your house, mines would make a great defense against vehicles and personnel. Arguably one of the most effective ones. > > I’m curious on your point where you aren’t OK with them owning guns, yet you aren’t OK with actually going through and weeding them out. Going through and weeding them out? Remember the whole innocent before being proven guilty? Same thing should apply here. God forbid we require a free photo identification to vote, that would be infringing on our rights. That would disenfranchise many voters, but our rights to own a firearm they have no problems disenfranchising the fuck out of those. I’m in agreement with BDSK noone should have to go through a psych eval to get a gun. If they are already under watch or required to see a shrink then by all means checks can be in place for that. But If I wanted to go buy a gun and don’t have a felony, and don’t already have a history of mental illness I should not have to be evaluated. Lets sum up the requirements lefties want and/or already have in place to use our 2nd amendment protected right: FBI background check. Mental health evaluation. Firearm training course. State Permit/ID card and/or Conceal carry permit which requires police chief or judge’s approval, and often require you to justify why you want to use that right. Several hundred dollars in fees for permits/training courses. Huge tax on guns/ammo Insurance 3-10 day wait period VS voting: Free ID.
