Are you admitting that all gun owners are "gun nuts"?

Then don't be accusing the cartoon of demonizing gun owners. If you are unwilling to analyze the facts, which are:

The second amendment is not threatened. If you are guaranteed anything, it is the "right to bear arms" - not "the right to bear any and all arms". You are not permitted to own a nuclear bomb, and society in general is reflected by current law until society decides the laws need to be changed. That is what is happening right now.

What will happen is variants on the following:

Close the gun show and private sale loopholes - background checks for every gun sale and during the purchase of ammunition, because a gun without ammo is a bat.

Eliminate the sale of military style semi-automatic assault rifles and large capacity magazines

Those are the only things I've heard consistently and they seem pretty common-sense to me.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
