I see. You support common sense gun control. Do you also support common sense speech control? The world would be so much more warm and fuzzy if we limited speech to happy words.
And who makes that decision that they are full reformed and now capable, that’s always been the sticking point who makes those decisions.
Answer the question pumpkin do you think all of those items should be legalize for everyone...... nice try at avoiding the questions ........ maybe you should log into your other accounts and post some stuff........how bou dah pumpkin .....
Chuckie, you hit upon a point that needs to be made PERFECTLY CLEAR. The Second Amendment only covers keep and bear and does not protect anything about how arms are USED. According to the Second Amendment, government cannot infringe upon your right to keep and bear arms. Government can, however, limit how you use them. A law that says you cannot discharge your guns in the middle of downtown except in self defense does not violate the Second Amendment. A law that says you cannot carry your guns downtown does violate the Second Amendment. Get the picture? Glad to help.

An in fairness the consititution said shall not be infringed so take literally even ex cons should be able to own a gun
That is the problem in that sometimes by the time it is proven that one is incapable of handling weapons responsibly (if proven at all), those weapons have already been used to kill or wound others.
In an ideal society "we should [be able to] err on the side of freedom and self determination" as you advocate, but we don't live in an ideal society and that has been proven time and time again.
Should we restrict or ban all weapons? Of course not! But some weapons that are not appropriate to hunting, self-protection, or competitive shooting should, perhaps, be restricted on the open market. I mean hey, besides EGO or bragging rights, why would someone need a howitzer or an armed jet fighter?
I would say yes. If you were arrested and sent to prison in 1825, when you got out, were you OK to own a gun then? I'm pretty sure you were.
As someone pointed out most of these things are legal already. So yes we should be able to own them. So your argument is moot. We are America. This is part of us. And I never said anything about not having laws. Of course we need laws. I’m talking about gun restrictions. They are pointless. It’s just like banning felons form possessing guns. It doesn’t stop them from getting them. And it never will. If they want a gun they’re gonna get one. Just like if a nut wants to kill someone they are gonna do it. Whether by shooting someone, stabbing them, blowing them up, running over them in a bus. The list can go on and on. These bumpfire stocks are everywhere. No way the government can track them. So even if they put them on the NFA list it doesn’t matter. It’s just something for the politicians to pat themselves on the back for.
Well the point I was trying to make is why is this “common sense” gun law that violent ex cons can’t own firearms accepted by most of us but the “common sense” law that not everyone should have access to full autos and RPG’s is not accepted? They are both uncsonstitutional
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
