    It doesn't help sell your "perspective", or anything else for that matter, when you attempt to connect the NRA to child-murder.

    Often times you can tell what people on the left in here think by the threads they don't respond to. This is one of those times.

    Name any tyrannical government in history that has ever been stopped by privately owned small arms.

    I disagree. Many threads are not worth replying to due to the extreme partizanship of those involved in them.

    I'm pretty sure I got that date right.

    But thanks for an example of a well reasoned and articulate response.

    Bombs are only reliable with professional grade explosives. Homemade explosives are unstable as ****.

    Defeated by professional soldiers using state-owned arms. The militias during the Revolutionary War were an incompetent joke.

    Try again.

    How is a simple question extreme partisanship?

    The Revolutionary War was started by farmers and small militias using personal arms. Without them, there would have been no war.

    This fact was so clear, and the British efforts to confiscate personal arms so egregious, the Founding Fathers took it up as the second most important issue when drafting the Bill of Rights.

    Do try to learn some history.

    So you think that it is ok for the President to withhold his plan that would stop the death of thousands of people in a city every year because he does not want to help a Democratic city? Or more likely, Trump lied to his gullibles again

    Bombs are highly unreliable and are more dangerous to an amateur bomber than his target that is if he gets past the plotting stage when many are caught plotting

    You are more than welcome to work toward getting a Constitutional Convention as that is what is required. But, be warned that it might not work out too well for you if freedon-loving, law abiding people who believe in liberty are in the majority. You would need Democrats to be in the majority in order to strip Americans of rights and empower govt to have more control over the people.

    So, your timing is vital if you wish to further shackle the people; you need Democrats, as that is the party of less liberty.

    Not his job. How many times did Barack vow his support of hometown Chicago before he sold his house and bailed out?

    And they utterly failed. The militias in the Revolutionary War did not in the war. British tyranny was not defeated by privately owned small arms.

    It was defeated by professional soldiers equipped from state arsenals of the Continental Army and the French Army.

    So again, name a tyrannical government that has ever been defeated by privately owned small arms.

    I see, so we just erase the facts behind the Revolutionary War to fit your new version of it?

    If private ownership of arms was so meaningless, why was it the second thing the Founding Fathers put in writing in the Bill of Rights?

    Nice try, but history, especially the one behind the greatest Nation in the world, is really difficult to erase.

    Parkland is a very wealthy community and could have easily provided what ever they wanted. That's doesn't do anything to protect kids in other schools. We can't be myopic and adopt tailor made measures for each and every school. When school starts, no one gets in and no one gets out.

    It’s a fact. Militias did not defeat the British. Professional soldiers with military weapons did.

    No tyrannical government in history has ever been defeated by privately held small arms.

    Kind of hard to do when the so called Mayor pretty much told the feds to F off in Chicago.

    No true. I've already defeated your claim.

    Without the owners of arms taking them up against the British, the United States would likely not exist.

    Not really understanding your attempt to rewrite history. Especially one as so well documented as that of the United States.
