I've been fully immersed in 2A issues for over 30 years and I've never heard that. Not once, not ever. Not a single time from a supporter of the 2A because that's a stupid talking-point of the disarmament enthusiasts that makes 0 sense, it has no basis in fact. It appeals to the ignorant and ill informed. Those are the same people who refer to ALL gun owners as untrained yokels, purport to advocate gun safety, yet refer to actual safety training and range time as "murder practice". They say that the 2A is a right to commit murder. They say that CC is terrible because all gun owners are Yosimite Sams who are enabled to just start shooting willy-nilly at the slightest provocation. Blood in the streets. Carnage. Death. Mayhem. Those are the people who project their ignorance and naivete on us... WTF are you talking to?the Second Amendment gives them the right to... miss-use what ever weapon they want without checks or consequence
Please specify where this "Middle Ground" lies. We have a Bill of Rights which prevents the government from infringing upon our natural rights, the right to keep and bear arms is #2. We have restrictions on all but >semiauto, individual firearms. No destructive devices, bombs, mines, rockets, missiles, etc. Sorry, Virginia... you can't order a freaking machine gun and have it delivered to your door (yeah, no sh*t... a popular topic amongst the uninformed).There is a lot of room for the middle ground
Sure... there are people who think that the SBR, SBS, and suppressor restrictions are archaic and stupid, count me among them. But that's ground already ceded, getting it back is the real fight here (and a just cause, IMO).
What Middle Ground do you wish to meet on?
UBC? Okay, maybe not a terrible idea... none of us wants crazies buying guns. Even more so, we don't want them "miss-using" (sic) them.
Fast forward past the hoopla of the signing ceremony, the 10A and 2A challenges and now it has to be enforced... how do you do that?
None of it good.
Please specify this wide swath of middle ground because I honestly don't see it.
To the OP, our defensive posture is not unwarranted. We now have presidential candidates openly advocate door-kicking and confiscation nation wide. Will it actually happen? Seems unlikely, but mostly because government is lazy, not due to any lack of enthusiasm from the (hopeful) CEO. A new AWB looks to be imminent, if not in this election cycle, a future one. And THIS one wont sunset in 10 yrs and will probably include semiautomatic handguns as well. Being informed and watching the horizon isn't being spun-up, it's a horribly defensive posture that we've been forced into.
