OK if you want to insult me. Let's get down to brass tacks. Asking you to take a test does not seem like a big deal to me. You seem to think that a President can just arbitrarily take your gun from you totally discounting that a President can merely ask for legislation. Then Congress has to act then there are the courts. So that clearly will never ever happen.

So paranoia over someone not agreeing with you 100% on a gun issue seems a little over the top.

Secondly I don't think I need a gun to take a risk. Merely standing up to your kind is a risk. You talk about your rights, but what about the rights of the people who are killed every year by careless gun owners? Do they not have any rights? Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? What about them? Why is there only your way?

"Asking you to take a test does not seem like a big deal to me".



No, it isn't a big deal, but, if I took a test in NYC, or Boston, could I have the same level of freedom I have here?
The "take a test" thing always evolves to something else.
There are many things a president can do other than those done personally, and his choices, good or bad, often outlive his term of office.
We are not speaking about "tests", and investigations, in the long run, but about people who do not see any value in the 2nd amendment, and will ignore it, or defy it. I will not support, or follow, these people.
I did not intend "insult", but I've got to wonder why you think the Founders were so careful to craft a Republic, as opposed to a demoracy. How do you define "Republican"?
