Going against gun owners is always a vote loser.
WE need to keep educating the people about WHY 2A and RKBA are important in preventing us from being turned into sheep without sheepdogs. Because, then the wolves will come.
Yes, one strategy by anti-RKBA groups is to attribute a heavy public burden to gun ownership, one that requires heavy taxation and registration.
Anything to get that registry.
Once guns are registered, it's over.

WE HAVE to start talking about the intellectual and deeper reasons for 2A. It is NOT catering to a bunch of hobbyists and hunters. The new generation needs to be educated on what happens to an unarmed populace that is policed by a few armed people. The results are never pretty.
:)
The point is to arm like-minded people with arguments and ideas that they can take with them as they go to other forums and talk to other people.
Your assumption that like-minded people are incapable of finding logical flaws in a discussion is one I disagree with.
Have you ever talked to the...
JSH1, You really need to watch the video in the original post on this thread. It will show you how gun registration has been used for the past 100 years across the world, including here in the USA. It has never been reported to have a positive effect on crime deterrence. Instead it has led to...
It seems that some conservatives may be leaning towards universal background checks, which we know can only be enforced by registering all firearms in the USA. The usual analogy is "cars are registered, so why not guns?"
Here are some reasons why this is a false analogy:
1. A car is a public...
We need to make PHONE calls. Once a week. Get your congressperson and senators' numbers on your speed dial and start calling.
It's that simple.
Emails are not enough.

Seems like some republicans may be looking to cave on the "gun show loophole" and may be OK with requiring federally mandated NIC checks for ALL sales, even those private FTF sales in states.
Here IMHO is why this is a really bad idea:
1. There is no Gun show loophole. The exact same state and...
I STRONGLY recommend NRA and GOA.
Send money directly to NRA-ILA and to GOA. These 2 have leadership that is spot on, the GOA even more so than teh NRA, but the NRA is pretty good.
I avoid SAF since their leader (Gottlieb) was FOR universal background checks, which have been proven and...
People view guns as a cost versus benefit issue. If someone has no idea about guns and has no inten tion if ever owning one, they want them banned. Cure: Take them shooting and encourage them to become a gun owner.
We have to take back the culture, or we may lose RKBA as some historical curiosity.
All of this has been discussed when Carry was first introduced in every state whenever it was introduced. . People created scenarios in their head like the one quoted here. Many states have even re-instituted open carry and in all these cases scenarios like the one in the post I am quoting, were...
The time has come to stop allowing people who understand nothing about protection to create policies that
seriously put our kids in harm's way. All these PTA members and school admins can express their anti-gun biases all they want, but they should NOT be allowed to remove protection for our kids.
School administrators in Fairfax County, Va and other places need to be asked
" What exactly is it about schools that should make it so that licensed citizens (including employees) are NOT allowed to exercise their God given, Constitutionally recognized rights to carry firearms so as to be able...
It's best not to over-analyze what may happen, there are too many variables in any deadly force encounter. One cannot prepare for everything. When concealed carry was first introduced, people predicted blood baths and wild west style shootouts, none of which happened. Licensed citizens carry...
Yes, agreed, that's the point of this thread. We need to become proactive to stop this nonsense.
Banning ARs will solve nothing, most repeating weapons including revolvers provide a sufficient rate of fire to put out 30+ rounds a minute, with a few hours of training. So do we ban ALL firearms...
Are you against concealed carry as well, for ordinary citizens? Because they carry in crowded places like restaurants, malls etc?
CC has proven to reduce crime (see the book "more guns less crime" by John Lott)
98% of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones. So if it's OK for our kids to stay...
