Conservative viewpoints = hate language = red flags = gun confiscation.

"The president has in recent days insisted that he favors stronger background checks."

I think there should be a twist. More thorough info in NICS, including access to pre age 18 issues. But, any inquiry from an FFL would only show the request was made from an FFL. No gun type etc.

In other words, hamper the illegal registry the government is attempting to construct.

Can I buy a simple suppressor without a $200 tax, comprehensive background check, and 1 year wait for bureaucracy?
Can I buy an M4 by any legal means?
No.
Our 2nd Amendment rights are not protected.
The Constitution presumes private ownership of _BATTLESHIPS_ (under “Letters of Marque” clause), and I can’t even own a standard military rifle.

Sorry to be unclear. I was basically agreeing with you.

If the president has not called for Red Flag laws, then it is unfair for someone to ask “Has he stopped called for Red Flag laws?” What would be the right answer? Yes? No? Neither answer fits. The question is a trap.

Same with the classic — “Has this politician stopped beating his wife?” What’s the right answer? Yes? No? Neither will sound good. The question is a trap.

It’s wise to be vigilant and protective of our rights. Nonetheless, this is very encouraging.

Yup. Much of it IS mental health. I believe many become anesthetized to violence from being bombarded with blood and guts watching tv and playing gory video games. It would be nice if producers self policed their films against graphic violence.

“...They have an endless supply of zombies that all they have to do is give them a gun and drop them off at the nearest mall....”
They’ve proven the MK ULTRA program has evolved quite well from the original experiments. Usually, the MK ULTRA wind-up toys usually need a “handler” to ensure that their little “prepared” zombie “hears the right voices” and is pointed in the right direction. But other than that, yeah, you’re right on.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he supported Israel’s decision to bar Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) from entering the nation over their support for a boycott of Israel.

He’s running for re-election.

He will be pushing amnesty for illegal aliens the day after he’s re-elected.

He should be replaced before he can give the Democrats a permanent majority.

“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.” —Justice Joseph Story (1833)

I was replying to the post re: an Executive Order allowing anyone who registered for the draft to purchase an M4.
