suggest common sense gun control.

Hell, just mention that if you read the 2nd amendment it gives NO such thing as an individual right to own a gun outside of a well regulated militia and they come in droves to respond.

I guess to be fair, a gun "enthusiast" on DU and one on a rightwing board are somewhat different, as to extremes.

You are discussing two separate things. I'm more than happy to debate the meaning of the Second Amendment, which DOES protect an individual right to keep and bear arms. But that's a completely separate issue from implementing commonsense gun control, which is permitted by the Second Amendment. You don't get to ban guns because of the Second Amendment, but we can certainly discuss how to implement better gun control without getting into constitutional theory.

disagree with you that there is no such thing as an individual right to own a gun outside of a well regulated militia.
The Party platform on firearms also affirms that gun ownership is an individual right.

Let us know when controllers have a committee vote scheduled on some gun control legislation. HAHA.

The level of discourse on this issue is fairly shallow. It usually is just memes and slogans.

you want to be able to bash gun owners without the push back.
How very authoritarian of you.
