A social issue causing civil unrest, or a deep seeded diabolical agenda?

Those of sound body and mind can make a decision they can look back at.

Others can't

It seems to that the US government can take whatever it wants, just as long they continue the illusory pacifier of letting the people have guns. They have already stated and already operate on the basis that some freedoms must be reduced and curtailed in order to have security. It was and is a tyrannical move, yet not a peep from a single gun owner. Not a single gun owner is has ever marched down on Washington to defend America from ever encroaching tyranny.

It's okay. Until the government actually impact on gun owners, in a personal way, gun owners won't react to anything, but they will still vomit out the usual cliches about how patriotic they are, and how they will defend America. So far, they have done nothing.

I can't disagree with any of that; how can we feel safer as a society, care for the mentally ill, and still honor the Constitution and the Second Amendment?

I agree with you for the most part (with the exception of someone that is non compos mentis.)

Our life and our bodies are our ultimate (and perhaps only) property, and we should be able to use them as we will.

That is my understanding of the right to euthanasia, right to choose, right to use, etc.

Great Post . We Are All On ' The Books " , but some Slither Under the Table .......

Here is something I found very educational and quite interesting, is definitely worth sharing for general clarity of misconceptions that may have even influenced the ATF&E;

LAW & THE COURTS

The ATF Has Been Enforcing a Rule That Does Not Exist

Anyone else sick to death of watching the Democrats debate each other already? Tuesday saw them rehash numerous conversations they’ve already had, and there are still eight excruciating nights of such television for us to endure.

To understand what’s going on here, you need a little bit of background. There are lots of rules about making and selling guns in this country: If you sell guns regularly as a business, you need to get a license and conduct background checks on your buyers; each gun a manufacturer creates for sale needs a serial number; etc. However, it’s generally legal to sell firearm parts without following those rules.

This might be a loophole the executive branch can plug fairly easily, since the problem lies mainly in the regulation and not the statute passed by Congress — though prosecutors could lose cases against illegal gun sellers in the meantime. It’s also possible that other courts will let the agency get away with pretending that the rule means something other than what it says.

If Congress and the ATF can’t write rules clearly ensuring that our basic gun laws apply to AR-15s, how well could Beto’s confiscation drive possibly go?

Segments quoted above are a sample of the material covered, and it's definitely compressive.

So....

How has this aged?

Two year review any one?

what I don't understand is this idea an Armed American people can't effect change when we've seen it happen across the world and most recently in Afghanistan and even in Europe we've seen militia types can bring a vast army to a halt..
