Hyperbole is not your friend. ("Shall not be infringed.&quot

The 2A operates to level the field. ("...it’s not like they’re going to invade..." The 2A makes they all of us.)

U.S. voters have shown that gun laws are anything but a slippery slope. If they were, the 1994 AWB would still be around. (...GUN GRABBING IS NEXT!)


No one here is a "GUN GRABBING COMMIE!" Some of the most well thought and interesting discussions I've ever had have been here on DU with folks from both sides of the issue. I'm still grateful to Hoyt for some of the thoughts and perspectives he brought to light for me.


This discussion, debate and sharing of views embody the aspects of freedom and government as conceived by the founders and provide for that most fundamental component animating inspiration. I can't say that I agree with everyone on the pro-control side on anything but it is the discussion, debate and sharing of views that bring progress. I gave up being a Republican due to their overall resistance to progress. Here on DU people interested in progress can relate their ideas and find a path to the future. Republicans are busy trying to be an e-brake on a square wheel.
