It's possible I guess.You misunderstand me, I think. It is not that the gov't will try to go on the offensive, it is that they fear not being able to be defended from the rath of those dads, moms, brothers and sisters that they had promised all manner of good things to and yet had become unable to deliver them.
You're right, at that point there is no more discussion, which is one thing I am always concerned about, we have a bunch of arrogant and frankly stupid people in D.C. who underestimate their employers, us. It would only take a hard enough push against the U.S. citizenry to create a chaotic situation that won't end well for anyone.
Well hopefully they will get around to this sooner or later and the public can get a more in depth definition to the Second Amendment.
Not going to happen anytime soon, remember the "conservative" Justice Roberts in maybe one of the dumbest rulings in U.S. history let the Obamacare decision fall under tax powers after the law called it a penalty. SCOTUS justices are politicians with ideological weaknesses as well, and they don't want to overturn precedence because it would further endanger the court's already suspect credibility.
The only reason I respect the NRA is because they have the most pull, but they are weak compared to GOA and NAGR which are solid no compromise groups that should have the influence the NRA enjoys.Follow the money. The NRA gets its madatory training classes, that they just happen to offer for $100/student, included in these "reasonable" gun control bills (CHL/CCW permits). Joining the gov't gun club is forcing you to take their classes, exposing you to their own sales pitch in the process.
Exactly. Ask the NRA why they support CHL/CCW permits (constitutional rights rental agreements). I will bet that they have no good answer. I have tried but got no reply at all. I imagine that if you are willing to join the Texas "CHL club" for $240/four years then the NRA dues look pretty good by comparison.
I'm Pro-gun. But I'm for gun control. Go figure.
I don't think people should be able to buy military grade weapons (guns, rocket launchers, etc., etc.). But I don't know what restrictions need to be "added." The idea that we need guns to protect ourselves from government is ridiculous.
We will never be able to do that. If the government decides to go rogue? We're screwed. No amount of small arms are going to make any difference. They will starve us. Cut off our water supply. Kill whoever they have to kill to get those few rogues out there to go into hiding; and the game will be over.
Those who are looking to fend off the general populace in case of nuclear attack, as an example, will be able to...for a very VERY short time. In that case, you're going to have to find a way to go along to get along. And that's just the truth.
But that's just me.

There's no right to life, no right to a gun, but in America we allow such things so you can try to live that way, that is until one negates the other.
