    There is zero compromise because your side gives nothing in return..... Absolutely nothing.

    A strictly hypothetical. What would you consider a fair compromise if the other side was really receptive?

    Yea, that would be great, but those are not registered guns either, so how do you find them?

    Not my problem, you want compromise, you have my terms. Show me that they can be disarmed and I'll drop all my firearms "Except my hunting rifle off at the nearest police station", you have my word!!

    You can drop anything you wish any time you wish for any reason you wish. I am not dropping mine. Oh, I do not think they can be disarmed, that is one reason I am not dropping mine. By the way, do you have anything meaningful, I mean realistic and where did I say I want to compromise?

    Thats as realistic as I can be. But hey, turn yours in! I'm sure the criminals are much more deserving than you are of your PP ;)

    That’s not true. Two cities defunded their police departments because they were corrupt. That’s it, that was the total affect of defund the police. And those two were in progress BEFORE defund the police was a thing.

    Again, the compromise is not pushing for a full ban.

    It’s odd how many times this has to be explained to you people

    Let’s just watch this play out

    Same amount of times you have to be told there will never be a full ban! At best, they will call for full ban but our criminals and newly anointed criminals will continue to own illegal firearms!

    That includes Repub, Dem and Lib ;)

    That’s not a Constitutionaly acceptable compromise.

    In “Heller” the Supreme’s found that individuals have the right to gun ownership which they defined guns as guns in current use and individual ownership was NOT dependent on being part of a militia. IOW, you can’t ban currently popular guns, in whole or in part.

    Banning a particular firearm or all firearms would not save lives and, more likely, would cost more American lives than any ban’s potential to save lives.

    Thank you for proving you have no interest whatsoever in compromise - you demand acquiescence.
    People like you are why we will not give an inch.

    Make an offer. Just a hypothetical, strictly speaking of course.

    You don't have to explain a damn thing to me because you can't.

    But I guess I need to explain to you what compromise means. Compromise means you give and take. It implies you received something in return not simply keep losing things. Comprende?

    Good think the new GQP SCOTUS has affirmed that all prior precedent is invalid and not needed to make rulings going forward

    We don’t have to come and take anything
    The people that are the most gun obsessed have time coming for them.

    We can wait you out :)

    So if you know they can't be disarmed who do you think any of these laws will apply to?

    I have an idea.... We need to make shooting people for no good reason illegal and starting forcing that law before we worry about creating more laws that are not going to disarm criminals.

    Your statement is false, and you knew it was false when you made it.

    Might be more support for some of those things if there wasn't the (totally justified, imo) perception that they'll just be used to affect and/or enforce a ban.

    People are getting tired of what’s going on currently, youth polling is particularly critical.

    So we the nation can either work on common sense solutions or they will eventually be dictated by the friends and families of victims.

    'What's going on' is we're being bombarded with the statistics of shootings while the statistic of crime prevented by hesitant criminals worried about to getting shot is being completely ignored. A scientific approach would have interest in determining how often that happens. But since no one is trying to find out, all we know is its some.

    And I fully support people having a weapon to defend their home since since the US has such a massive crime problem.

    More people are worried about their child being killed at school or being shot up at a mall (things that rarely happen in other first world nations)

    it’s not false at all, it’s the objective reality. You want to believe it so you take data at face value without questioning its merit. All of the data linked here fails to consider the new Overton window. With such an outdated Overton window it’s not at all shocking it finds conservatism is dying.

    But hey, believe what you want. I don’t care if you continue to choose to be wrong.
