okay ruger1, what constitutional right are you being deprived of?

I believe that it has been expressed many times that if you allow one freedom to be taken, others will follow in being stolen. The current discussion here revolves around guns. We cannot allow ourselves to be robbed of this Constitutional right, or have the Constitution waltzed around. ALL of our rights and freedoms are in jeopardy, and the Constitutional importance of gun rights is one of the cornerstones of the founding fathers' blueprint for the United States of America. The importance of this fight for rights CANNOT be diminished.....or made fun of.

hmmm big difference between equal rights and constitutional rights. You have the right to be whom ever and with whom ever you choose and as far as I am concerned you can have a civil union and the same civil rights as I do but when you are alright with limiting my constitutional rights then I have a problem. stop using your plight to create one for everyone else and maybe, just maybe yours will be solved as well.

Ruger1, this isn't a LGBT rights vs gun rights vs religious freedom "battle". Each is its own separate issue to be argued and debated independently of the other. I find it rather childish to feel that protecting individual issues of rights should be a trade off, as in "you can have yours when I get mine". I also consider it rather disingenuous of you to presume what each of us "gives a crap about" without foundation for your assumptions, and throwing it out there generically across the forum.

you guys are preaching to the choir...i'm already limited certain rights you all are afforded in your everyday lives. i don't feel one bit sorry for you and your "guhns". I, myself don't worry about it...it's the least of my concerns. it's funny isn't it? you don't give a crap about rights of others until something comes along that affects you? LOL...try doing some reading about that and come talk to me...you're right lilly...i shouldn't stoop as low as the others on here who make fun of me when i talk about beliefs they may not have....happy friday everyone! enjoy your rights! bite me

I hope that we all live long enough so that you can come back, Ruger1, and say "I told you so", but I'm fearful that we'll be the ones telling you that if we don't stop the assault on our rights and the Constitution, we WILL have our guns confiscated, and so much more. Why do you find that possibility so hard to fathom or believe? Maybe you need to do some research on some of our treaty negotiations with the UN. One will take our guns from us, another will prevent anyone from having a backyard garden, and so much more. Try doing some reading and see what's coming at you in the future, and consider that before making fun of others with opposing beliefs to yours, as you did in an earlier comment.

okay but I once thought amnesty wouldn't happen either but get ready to say hello to 15 million more lone star recipients by the end of the year.

i'm not worried AF :) it won't happen. quit being so damn paranoid

They want to ban AR-10/15's because they LOOK like assault weapons, they are just semi-automatics with a military look. No full auto or 3 round burst. Then the media goes on about these powerful weapons, which they aren't that powerful. I have a 30-30 and a 30-06 that will put the .223 to shame in the power category. These wimps could have done so much more damage with 12 gauge shotguns with Personal Defense or 00 Buck than with the .223's, especially in the theatre shooting. By the same token, they could have went in with a semiautomatic .22 and still killed people as well. These issues just aren't glamourous enough for the media to eporton though cause the evil black guns create moe controversy, and viewers. Let's not forget that the UN is still trying to do an end run around our rights as well. Can't trust politicians, especially when they are trying to garner votes for elections.

and when it says stop the sale that also includes the transfer of these weapons from one person to another meaning I couldn't pass my pistols and rifles to my grandson when I die. LIEberalism at it core is tyranny.
