That's great news when people like AOC are declaring war on law-abiding citizens and defunded police cannot protect us from the Marxists of BLM and ANTIFA. Florida is trying to expand their Stand Your Ground Law to include looting of businesses. It would grant immunity to those who shoot them. Biden has already stated that he plans for a mandatory buy back program, i.e., gun confiscation. IP: Logged |

It is. I have a cousin who works in retail in Washington, and she said that people were buying all of their ammo in March. IP: Logged |

Buy back, so that they don’t end up in the wrong hands. You twist everything. IP: Logged |

No, you really can’t be that misinformed. It’s legally owned semi-automatic rifles that have clips with more than 10 rounds, and it’s a mandatory buy-back, which means confiscation under the guise of buy-backs. I guess you vote for people without knowing what they stand for or believe. I wish I could be as blissfully ignorant as you for just one day to see how it feels. IP: Logged |

Hoarding goods and supplies is a crime during these times. So is buying exquisite guns for twisted purposes. Guns of policemen ofcourse should be taken and replaced with other deterrent things which are less harmful. Jupiter might eclipse saturn (time) for a while . But the saturn is on its way to a time when there is no need of the sun and the moon in your charts until the next eclipse such as this once in a 400 year event.

You really shouldn’t comment on this country regarding our Constitutional rights. Biden gives us the choice of confiscation or registering them for unconstitutional taxation. Knowing who owns what and where is truly Hitlerian. IP: Logged |

 You are the one poorly blaming Biden without understanding his plans. And then bullying me for my opinion. Jeez, grow up.Democrats have the best brain team out there to get us out of the current mess. It better be them then the fanatic and loosh craving pubbers. Loosh is the emotional food of the Reptilians.

There's nothing to understand. When someone tell you his plans, take him at his word. Not bulling anyone. Just noting that you don't understand the Constitutional rights of U.S. citizens.IP: Logged |

Dear Randall, Assault Rifles for Mass Murder are not Constitutional Rights. Even Muskets/Rifles of 1800s are for a Well Regulated Militia, not for individuals.A handgun is the only sensible right for an individual for Self Protection against a life threatening attacker. Tasers are more than enough for Police for day to day operations. For attack and capture, USA have efficient SWAT Teams. IP: Logged |

I've lived all my life in a country with 'unarmed citizenry' and I don't feel unsafe. Most of the violent crime here is within groups fighting with each other. Random acts of violence with knives and other weapons aren't common. It's mostly gang and drug stuff - they kill each other. Rape? A man doesn't need a weapon to commit rape. I don't feel the need to have a weapon to be safe. I would feel very unsafe in a place where everyone felt they had to have a weapon to be safe - that to me indicates there is something to fear. ------------------ Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face ~ Florence Scovel Shinn ~ IP: Logged |

You’re right, nobody needs to carry around an assault rifle with them on a day to day basis. However, if you’ve ever studied history at all, and the rise and fall of not only nations but of empires and entire civilizations, you’ll realize that the people’s ability to protect themselves against a government or dominance that becomes tyrannical is inherent in their possession of arms.

The second amendment exists to protect the people from the government. The government MUST fear the people. When the people fear the government, that is when you have tyranny. There is tyranny in many states right now - businesses being forcibly shut down, people losing their livelihoods, people getting arrested for failure to comply with mask mandates, people getting arrested for attending church, etc. Government overreach into people’s lives is at an all-time high.An armed society is a polite society. It’s also a safe society, both internally and internationally. The people must always be able to come together and resist in any situation. The left has a very fundamental misunderstanding about the 2A. People don’t bear arms to hurt others, they bear arms to defend themselves and the liberties of EVERYONE. IP: Logged |

We have the police to defend us in public places and even in our homes. You are free to own and keep it home for emergency. Register it.Pubbers are always insecure arising from their root chakra. IP: Logged |

Government’s number one priority is to protect its citizens. When they fail to do so, as they have done in blue cities and states, then we have to be able to protect ourselves, our families, and our homes.IP: Logged |

Oh, stop with the “blue cities” crap. Is the government responsible for us, or are we supposed to be scared of them? IP: Logged |

Don't you just love it when foreign nationals tell Americans what the US Constitution means, including the Amendments thereto?So hung up on Constitutional terms of which they don't even know the meaning. Words like Militia!  And further, don't recognize common punctuation marks, what they mean and how they're used. So, here's some Justice William Blackstone to clear up the haze leftists wander around in when confronted with the 2nd Amendment. Justice William Blackstone specifically referenced this factual history when setting forth the common law definition of the term “militia,” which he stated was an “auxiliary right of the individual, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty, to act in concert with his neighbors in defense of the state.” The right to keep and bear arms is an 'individual right' subject only to reasonable limitations. In the United States, the whole population is considered to be the Militia or possible Militia and for the reasons Blackstone set forth. The US Supreme Court agrees. IP: Logged |
