Gentlemen,,,, I understand your skepticism but that won’t happen.
and so it was decreed ... it never happened.
I hope that you are correct.
In truth we are simply are badly divided as a nation.
You are correct, it will never happen the way that you have just defined it, “That can’t happen without a “Constitutional Convention” and a subsequent 75% vote.”
But is effectively happening now, with 20,000 gun control laws, and more and more added. (Good luck in getting even the 20,000 cut to 15,000) It also effectively happens when the supreme court refuses to hear gun control laws and then decide for the 2nd amendment, thereby letting stand unconstitutional laws. (The recent CT law is a great case in point.)
We have a history where gun registration has lead to gun confiscation. NYC is a case in point.
The 2nd amendment is being abolished: pick at it, pick at it, one law here, another there, ...
Then you can point to the 2nd amendment and say, see, we have the right to keep and bear arms. (because there hasn’t been a “Constitution Convention” and a subsequent 75% vote, it is till there) And yet, there are no arms to keep. They are all gone. And yet, the 2nd amendment is still there. pick, pick, pick, pick, ...
Animal Farm, we are living it now...
You are book smart with absolutely NO COMMON SENSE, the proverbial “Philadelphia Lawyer”. I WILL NOT WASTE anymore time on you. I own a successful gun repair/modification shop, two daughters that are following my footsteps and a wife that can think on her own. I’ve NO time for towel throwers and whiners. Good luck to you.
Mossberg 500 - I think
Bet Malloy doesn't have the balls to enforce the laws himself.
Of course not, he is surrounded by a security detail with eeeeevil “assault weapons” and eeeeevil “high capacity magazines.”
The question of the year: Who will flinch? I submit that like the difference in motivation between the occupied and the occupiers, we care more about our self-determination than they do about their petty occupation.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the ENGLISHMAN began to hate
“Out of Ireland have we come.
Great hatred, little room,
Maimed us at the start.
I carry from my mother’s womb
A fanatic heart.”
