The people only get to decide things they are OK with. Let the states decide, not the people IN the state.

Amazing how local communities can’t vote for what they want when it isn’t what Republicans want right Greenman? Such freedom lovers Republicans are.

Unless it is the wrong kind of state. Like a blue state than the local communities or the federal government should decide. The hypocrisy is astounding.

So the people have no say?

Remember, we need the 2nd amendment. Let me see, "A well regulated..." Well, of course not that part of the 2nd amendment.

Even if you took the interpretation of "well-regulated" being "well-trained", it doesn't change the fact that "shall not be infringed" is not equivalent to "cannot be regulated"

Even Scalia said gun regulations can be allowed.

Remember when the purpose of the NRA was for training to be safe on a scientific basis?

The Vagas shooter killed 60 people and injured 413. If he didn't have AR style rifles totals would have been less because of the inability to get off many rounds in short time.

Would you rather be shot at by the guy with a six shooter or the guy with the semi-auto AR-15 with 30 rounds and extra mags?

I'd rather not be shot at all, which I think makes a good case for getting rid of guns altogether or at least very, very strictly regulated

Based on Greenman’s “logic” a nuclear machine gun with uranium rounds killing you is no different than a .22 revolver so why regulate any firearm? M50s for everyone!

A federal judge in Kansas just ruled that there is no constitutional basis for fully automatic weapons to be illegal using the test established by the Roberts court. There were no restrictions on owning automatic weapons when the constitution was drafted so any such restriction now is unconstitutional.

Sigh. Mind boggling. All heil nukes for all! After all, there were no restrictions on nuclear weapons when the Constitution was created. Smallpox viruses as weapons for all. After all, there were no restrictions on small pox when the constitution was created.

On and on the where the idiocy of these rulings are mind boggling. Greenman would be the first to complain when the rivers near him are on fire and filled with chemical waste though I am sure.

Not no, but fuck no!!

That would be the literal and figurative definition of the term ‘shooting themselves in the foot’. Just keep your foot on the gas pedal with the policies & issues they're using so far.
