the second amendment says 'a regulated militia' so 'yes' regulations are reasonable samsingh Jul 2012 #31

Never argued that Reasonable_Argument Jul 2012 #35

Better regulation and constant education for everyone will never happen as long as the NRA exists. Lint Head Jul 2012 #30

There are reports that NRA members are chowder66 Jul 2012 #41

They need an internal, base driven, revolt nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #47

Maybe a totally new organization with reasonable bylaws that competes with the NRA. Lint Head Jul 2012 #48

That is also possible. nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #51

This would probably be the way to go chowder66 Jul 2012 #84

People with guns kill people. MNBrewer Jul 2012 #6

Technically, bullets kills people. n/t zappaman Jul 2012 #8

Technically, the damage caused by the bullets having been fired into the victim kills people. MNBrewer Jul 2012 #24

Generally, it's the lack of blood to the brain, as a result of said damage, that kills. yawnmaster Jul 2012 #59

So you are telling me the old west had absolutely zero gun regulations? nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #45

I am not saying that at all Missycim Jul 2012 #58

So since there is very little we can do nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #65

There are gun control laws I support. I oppose "feel good" laws that accomplish nothing. badtoworse Jul 2012 #69

Been posting for a few mass shootings now nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #73

I thought I posted that supported background checks on all handgun purchases. badtoworse Jul 2012 #89

All fire arms, no exceptions. nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #91

Would you trade a federal CCW License to get that? badtoworse Jul 2012 #94

I was once offered a federal one nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #100

You didn't have a CCW when you were in those shootouts? zappaman Jul 2012 #101

I just don't see the need and I've already passed a background check to legally purchase handguns badtoworse Jul 2012 #102

How about people who travel or have residences in multiple states, as I do. badtoworse Jul 2012 #105

If the SCOTUS had intended Miller to apply to firearms in general, they would have said so. badtoworse Jul 2012 #139

No they wouldn't bongbong Jul 2012 #148

If you have a better citation, then post it. What you've posted so far doesn't cut it. badtoworse Jul 2012 #151

Oh yeah? bongbong Jul 2012 #153

Those aren't examples of paranoia. DanTex Jul 2012 #121
