Roughly ninety percent of Americans support universal background checks. Do you?
Mine is the 2'nd Amendment is STRICTLY to do with the Militia.
Well at least you have admitted that there is no reason to consider your view any longer or take it seriously. One must jump through the hoops of re-defining words to suggest such things. I wonder if you redefine 'press' as well...
That's your interpretation of the 2'nd Amendment...not mine.
Mine is the 2'nd Amendment is STRICTLY to do with the Militia. So those Americans that are in the miltary/reserves/coast guard should be able to keep their weapons at home and buy them without a background check - everyone else (other then police, security, etc.)? Nope.
And I could care less who or what else interprets the 2'nd Amendment like you.
Imo, mine is right and yours is wrong.
Have a nice day.
You have no way of knowing is they are 'lying' or not.
'lie 2 (l)
n.
1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.
2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.'
Lie - definition of Lie by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
To lie requires intent. Since you cannot possibly know what their inent was (unless they inform you), then there is no possible way you can know if they are lying or not.
They may just be relaying information that is false - without their knowledge that it is false.

Earlier in this discussion ttwtt78640 had an idea that everyone when they got their
Drivers license, would have a background check, if you passed, you got field entry on your
license saying YES this person is allowed to buy guns, or NO gun sales allowed.
Within about 6 years every adult, and all new drivers would be checked.
This would also eliminate Government excuses for keeping some background check info.
ttwtt78640 I apologize for my poor stating of your idea!
Anyone wishing to pruchase [sic] a gun, if UBG became the law, could simply get their ID renewed for a nominalfeepoll tax, just as you must (may?) do when your address changes.
Fixed it for you.

'A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.'It's not my “interpretation” nor anyone else's. It's what the Second Amendment clearly, explicitly says.
The only people who think there is any need or room to “interpret” the Second Amendment are those who do not agree with it, and do not want it to be obeyed, but are unwilling to go along with the proper amendment process to change the Constitution to correct their disagreement therewith.
Disagreeing with the Constitution is no excuse to disobey it.
If that was really true, then there would be no difficulty at all in getting the Constitution amended in order to supersede the Second Amendment, and to allow the right affirmed therein to be infringed to the degree of requiring these checks as a prerequisite for exercising that right. That no credible effort has been made to propose such an amendment proves that those who claim there is this much support are flat-out lying.
Ouch, I almost busted a gut laughing, politicians who are doing what the people want them to do :lamo
The text is clearly about the militia - which is why the word was put near the beginning of the text. I suppose they started the text with 'Militia' for fun? It is there because that is what they are discussing.
Can you, or anyone else, recall any other proposed legislation in the last decade that had this much public support?
Nope, but the chances that it will pass through THIS republican controlled congress is small IMHO.
Well, catawba chimed in. I was waiting for him, haymarket, justabubba, and some of the other oppressive, authoritarian uber-statists to come in here and demand the erosion of freedoms, one at a time.
The first string has been pulled.
As many have noticed, it is only the far right opposed to background checks for gun sales. Did you miss the OP?

Look up the uniform code, it's in several threads in the gun section. It is the current law of the land. It says the militia is pretty much ever able bodied person...
Shall you move on to another falsehood now
I could care less who is eligible for military service. I only care about those who are actually in the military (regular and reserves).
