Here's yer parade, Mr. Trump: Gidney N Cloyd May 2018 #7

LMAO. Yep, it would be a lot cheaper than the parade he's planning -- couple of buckets of chicken, Hoyt May 2018 #9

2A has nothing to do with the militia hack89 May 2018 #5

Well, the NRA's interpretation of Heller is not exactly correct. AWBs are fine under Heller, even Hoyt May 2018 #6

Heller is the only definition that matters hack89 May 2018 #8

Nope. Now, if we needed a green light for more gun control, it is quite helpful. Hoyt May 2018 #10

So what laws do you want that Heller prevents? hack89 May 2018 #12

AWB, severe restrictions on public toting, registration, psychological evaluations, Hoyt May 2018 #21

Heller allows all of those. hack89 May 2018 #28

That's not exactly what Scalia said, but it is possible given what Scalia said. aikoaiko May 2018 #23

He said reasonable gun restrictions are fine, if you pro-gunners want to be picky. Hoyt May 2018 #24

The law is a picky thing. The debate is about what is reasonable, effective, and needed. aikoaiko May 2018 #25

"Preventing mass slaughter's problem is lack of broad and deep public support, not the 2A." mac56 May 2018 #11

So you agree that the 2A is not the obstacle? hack89 May 2018 #13

The amendment itself? Probably not. mac56 May 2018 #14

Why are gun control advocates so uniformly ignorant of gun laws? hack89 May 2018 #27

Generalizing, they're cut from the same cloth as anti-vaxxers and climate change deniers. Decoy of Fenris May 2018 #29

I'm guessing it's because we have lives. mac56 May 2018 #30

Then leave the advocacy for legislation to those who understand it. Decoy of Fenris May 2018 #31

So saving lives is not worth any of your precious time? hack89 May 2018 #32

"If it saves one life and I don't have to do anything." Got it in one. n/t Decoy of Fenris May 2018 #33
