#1 If your name is Oscar Ortega NO you cannot join
#2 Rights are not "Granted" they can only be enumerated have you ever read the founding documents?
#3 Yes you are a HUGE LEFTY, I can tell by your marginal literacy
#4 Who told you that you support Gay Marrige, the same guy that told you killing unborn children is a good thing to do, just like letting Pediophile murders out of jail is "Good"?
The guys that went to Spain in 1936 and fought Hitler while your grandfathers were all sitting on their *** and pissing in their pants.
The 2A is about the PEOPLE'S right, ALL of them, to keep and bear arms. Both for self defense and defense against a tyrannical government which would seek to impose a tyranny.
That should be important to ANY American, regardless of political view.
It's about a freedom to do something other than beg for mercy from the only people with arms. That has nothing to do with left or right. It has everything to do with wanting to be free people.
Liberals can quote legal precedent, news reports, and exhaustive studies. They can talk about the intentions of the Founders. They can argue at length against the tyranny of the government. And they will, almost without exception, conclude the necessity of respecting, and not restricting, civil liberties.
Except for one: the right to keep and bear arms.
When it comes to discussing the Second Amendment, liberals check rational thought at the door. They dismiss approximately 40% of American households that own one or more guns, and those who fight to protect the Second Amendment, as "gun nuts." They argue for greater restrictions. And they pursue these policies at the risk of alienating voters who might otherwise vote for Democrats.
And they do so in a way that is wholly inconsistent with their approach to all of our other civil liberties.
Daily Kos: Why liberals should love the Second Amendment
I spend a lot of time on Huffington Post, debating anti-gun rights people.
They are overwhelmingly liberal, and call gun owners "baggers", "right-wingers", "redneck Republicans", etc. They ridicule and laugh at your point about an armed populace preventing tyranny. They say "like your little gun is going to defeat the military that has tanks and nukes". They are openly contemptuous of gun owners. They hate guns and gun owners, and think that the Second Amendment should be repealed or ignored.
What does that have to do with defending gun rights? They didn't go to Spain in the 1930s to defend the American Second Amendment.
You're right, but unfortunately most liberals, and especially most liberal politicians, don't agree with you.
H.R.308 - Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act to ban magazines that hold 11 rounds or more
Introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY). Of the 109 co-sponsors, 109 are Democrats, 0 are Republican.

The following was written by a liberal trying to get her fellow liberals to support the Second Amendment.
The key words are 'liberals on the Huffington Post'. I bet if you had had that discussion at a local union meeting, it would be a very different conversation.
A lifelong Democrat before seeking elective office, Bloomberg switched his registration in 2001 and ran for mayor as a Republican, winning the election that year and a second term in 2005. Bloomberg left the Republican Party over policy and philosophical disagreements with national party leadership in 2007 and ran for his third term in 2009 as an independent candidate on the Republican ballot line.
I hate to sound like a granola-eating hipster, but we really do need more diversity within the ranks of gun owners.
How do you propose to accomplish that, through "affirmative action" perhaps?
"Look, we know you liberals don't like guns and don't know anything about them, but we're going to give you these guns anyway and make gun owners out of you, so the statistics look better".

No no no! That's not what I meant at all, lighten up. Like being a black conservative, or a gay Republican, it takes guts for a pro-gun rights liberal to go against the grain of their fellow liberals.
However, it is difficult for pro-gun non-liberals to produce "more diversity within the ranks of gun owners" as soberups said. That's up to pro-gun rights liberals to convince their fellow liberals to stop being so anti-gun rights. They won't listen to non-liberals, even independents and libertarians. We're all "gun nuts", "gun fetishists", "baggers", "right-wing rednecks", guys "compensating for small penises", etc. (all terms I have seen on Huffington Post) to them.
And the fact remains, liberal gun owners often support and vote for liberal politicians who want to diminish gun rights. If a gun-owning liberal votes for anti-gun liberal politicians because of their support for other liberal policy positions, the least those liberal gun owners should do as compensation and atonement is join and contribute heavily to the NRA and SAF.
So what I gather from this post is that Pro gun conservatives don't want the support of the pro gun liberals. I just can't understand that thought process. We are all here to achieve the same goal. Why is it that when a pro gun liberal voices a concern he is ridiculed by the pro gun conservatives! Why can't we all see that we may have different views on a lot of things but the truth is that we have one thing in common! The right to own and carry firearms!!! If you want to chastise someone for their views on who gets married or on their opinions of abortion, go to another forum! We are here to support our constitutional right, our hobby, share stories and occasionally buy or sell something. We won't ever all agree on everything but unless the conservatives are willing to accept the support of the few pro gun liberals willing to voice their opinions then you have a long up hill battle to fight alone!
Sarcasm. I thought it was funny.
The right to own and carry firearms! Oh yes, our common goal. Really, to protect our right, many of us already do own and carry.
I can only speak for myself, but I find it odd that there are gun loving liberals. I like it, don't get me wrong, but it just seems strange.
So how do we protect out right to keep and bear arms? We elect like minded representatives. The big question for pro-gun liberals is who to elect? Not gonna find many liberal politicians that admit to being pro-gun rights. What a conundrum!
