The ONLY gun law ANY of us need is Constitutional Carry.

I wish I could convince him, and other brilliant writers and thinkers on the topic that bullets are only the projectile, and "rounds" or "cartridges" are the completed component of ammunition.
It takes away from an otherwise flawless piece.

The last thing lefties, nanny-staters and gun-grabbers want is to be confused with facts.
It is fascinating to me, though, that lefties don't think the people should have weapons (e.g. guns), but they don't mind it when a stranger uses a gun to save them from injury or death.
Some years ago, Rosie O'Fats went on an anti-second Amendment rant with Tom Selleck who appeared on her TV "show". A few months later, after Rosie and her girlfriend adopted two children, Rosie hired two ARMED bodyguards to ensure the safety and protection of her children (Guns for me, but NOT for thee!).
zero thinks that we shouldn't have guns, either. But, it's ok for him to have ARMED secret service protection around the clock.
zero and his older brother, Clinton, detest the military, but they have no qualms about committing the military to conflict after conflict in places where the US has no security interests.
Hypocrisy, thy name is LIEberals!!
The central issue boils down to the question: What are the facts? Yet there are many zealots who seem utterly unconcerned about facts or about their own lack of knowledge of facts.
Sowell and Daniel Greenfield are easily the most creative intellectuals of our time... What a pleasure both can be read on FreeRepublic...
Thanks for the ping jazusam - here's a link to a Daniel Greenfield piece you'll enjoy:

Nope, gun control laws control SPEECH!!! Hate crime legislation already treats us like children to be readied for pedophiles.
Now gun laws are out there to provide the media with more dependency on its seeking monopoly over free speech, because once we lose our gun rights and OUR SPEECH becomes REGISTERED through registration of our FIREARMS, the internet will be a moot and dangerous place to talk freely at.
Wewill be relegated to a 1984 situation with Obama’s face speaking and the media having complete mandated participation.
Obamacare forced us to buy their medicines already, now it is their TV it is going to force us to buy.
Regarding the idea of repealing 2A, corrupt Congress and Obama cannot afford for the vast majority of likely constitutionally ignorant voters to find out about Article V of the Constitution. If voters found out about Article V then they would know that only the states, not Congress or the Oval Office, can ratify proposed amendments to the Constitution, the states thus having absolute control over the federal government despite PC interpretations of the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2).
In fact, corrupt Congress wrongly ignored former Congressman Jessie Jackson Jr.'s resolution to propose a healthcare amendment to the Constitution to the states for ratification. Such an amendment would have given Congress the constitutional authority that it needed to establish Obamacare. But Congress ignored the resolution and wrongly established Obamacare without the consent of the Article V state majority.
"H. J. Res. 30: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States regarding the right of citizens of the United States to health care of equal high quality." --govtrack.us
So as evidenced by the way that Democrats rammed Obamacare while ignoring Article V and Obama's approach to politically watering down the 2nd Amendment with constitutionally undefined executive orders instead of calling for a repeal of 2A, Article V is arguably the best kept secret of the unconstitutionally big federal government imo.
So the left’s “logic” is: take guns away from law abiding citizens and we’ll all be safer...?
It's a long read, but the sections most pertinent to the current demand for more restrictive gun laws in the US are the tables showing the murder rates in European nations with very strict gun laws compared to the murder rate in the US. For example, I was very surprised to find that the US per capita murder rate is much lower than that of Russia where privately owned handguns are almost totally banned, and very few people (mostly in Siberia) can legally own rifles or shotguns for hunting. Russia is only one European nation with a very high overall murder rate and a relatively low rate of murder by gunshot, but you won't hear that in any of the upcoming battle to ban those eeevill "assault weapons" that somehow manage to compel their owners to slaughter crowds of innocent women and children all across the US.
If you want documented true facts to refute the anti-gunners' lies read this research paper and learn the truth about European gun bans and their negligible effect on the overall murder rates of those other nations.
