I am ok with states making sure whackos and bad guys don’t have legal access to guns but my state won’t let you own and carry a handgun unless you are in law enforcement or carry large sums of money. I can own a rifle and shotgun but can’t carry a concealed weapon.

” will get sick of the direction our country is going and if they rise up the govt. does NOT want them to have any weapons.”

Having background checks done before buying a weapon isn’t the gov trying to get rid of guns. It is the gov trying to prevent people from buying a gun on a moments notice. If one feels the need to do that then maybe they shouldn’t have the gun. Know what I mean? The gun dealers at trade shows are making a stink because they are losing money and trying to say their rights are being removed to protect their wallets.

Just like putting condoms on penises when shooting adult films. No one is taking away porn.

I’m not one of those people that are going to say someone doesn’t “need” an AR-15. Fully automatic? I don’t know there, but I hate guns so I don’t know if it is needed or not. I don’t use them. I heard one can fire it rather quickly already.

Still that really isn’t the gov taking away guns. When someone gets pulled over for non-factory tint on their windows do people scream car-control? No. Because the government isn’t taking away your car just like they aren’t taking away guns.

Happy 4th of July aka Independence Day in the Melting Pot we call America.

“I hope I live to see the day when the citizens of this country take the government “of, by and for the people” and reclaim it and give it back to the people.”

This won’t happen in voting booths absent the People choosing to govern themselves as part of a larger community.

Too many people act like squabbling siblings running to ‘government’ to act as parents to ‘make Johnny behave’ in addition to feed, clothe and shelter them (with no strings attached) vs the subservient role as ‘government’ was intended back in 1776 when the words ‘of, for and by the people’ were adopted.
