What you are missing is for almost 50 years we have given in to the gun grabbers. 20,000 gun laws later, we have nothing to show for it. After we pass this current round of gun control, they will be back for more. Just like they are now back for more after we gave them Brady Law. AWB did not work, yet they are back to re-enact it. Universal background checks, no fly lists, HiCap Bans. 30.06/07 signs, There is no end because the end to them is a complete ban turn them in.mojo84 wrote:One of the problems I see in this and other threads, if someone isn't 100% in lockstep with what is considered conservative, libertarian or pro-2nd "correct" thinking, people conclude that person is a left-wing nut planted to perpetuate a grand conspiracy to infiltrate the "correct" thinkers and throw the the election to the commie criminal. It is impossible to get 100% buy in on all nuances of an issue buy all folks that support an issue such as liberty, 2nd Amendment, economics, religion etc.
Being so dogmatic that everything is either black or white is shortsighted. For those that want to jump to accusing me of being a "liberal plant", you couldn't be further from the truth. While I base my opinions and decisions on principles, I understand not everything is a,ways black or white and if someone doesn't agree with me 100% they are automatically my enemy. I also don't believe it is best to always be looking for an argument or spoiling for a fight whether it is on a forum or potential civil war.
We need to focus on what unites us and less on finding the things that divide us. If not, we will eventually be referring to one another as "comrade".
There is a point when you have stand up and point out this stuff does not work! So no more.
I see a lot of folks on this forum OK with more gun control. Are they OK with more gun freedom? How about instead of spending so much time talking about what gun control we are OK with, we talk about what gun freedom we demand! Here is a compromise that directly benefits Texas CHL'ers.
If they want to keep bad guys from getting guns by putting preventing watchlist folks from buying guns, how about they allow good guys to carry guns in all 50 states?
Is anyone against us getting something in return, or di we have to go 100% lockstep with them and nothing for us?
