You are making the argument of why we need to enforce the 2nd, allowing for guns ONLY Eliot Rosewater Oct 2017 #53

Correct jberryhill Oct 2017 #54

When and where has it been enforced in this manner? Marengo Oct 2017 #169

Are you suggesting that since we have always let the NRA have their way and before Eliot Rosewater Oct 2017 #172

I'm asking for examples of where and when this interpretation of the 2A has been enforced since... Marengo Oct 2017 #173

It is not an interpretation, it is clearly what the 2nd says, and it is basic Eliot Rosewater Oct 2017 #174

Again, can you please provide examples of when and where this interpretation has been enforced. Marengo Oct 2017 #175

I dont understand the relevance of the question. What examples were there of Eliot Rosewater Oct 2017 #178

Now we're equating jewelry with guns. I have to admit I didn't see that one coming n/t kcr Oct 2017 #62

So you think stolen guns are not an issue? hack89 Oct 2017 #63

Oh, yes. I absolutely do. kcr Oct 2017 #66

But in your mind making lists of guns publicly available to thieves is a good thing? hack89 Oct 2017 #67

You think the alternative, not tracking gun sales and the resultant mass shootings is a good thing? kcr Oct 2017 #68

How can you enforce the licensing of gun owners thucythucy Oct 2017 #143

Ask Illinois. hack89 Oct 2017 #150

I'm asking you. thucythucy Oct 2017 #159

Because they don't link licenses to guns. hack89 Oct 2017 #160
