    I don't agree with some things SCOTUS did or does--like Roe v. Wade.

    Fire or charge the prosector.
    "Draw the line" on what? I would have a national firearms license that entitles you to posses, buy and sell firearms. Registry? No. Waiting period? No. I would make using a firearm to attack or rob people a serious jailing offense. Senile, mentally ill, child--you're not permitted to have firearms.

    and that should be eliminated if they are hand held individual weapons

    When 3-D printers can make reliable firearms, the ship has sailed on gun grabbing. We should go after people who use firearms to assault and rob others. Fill up our jails with these people, not pot users.

    Funny how the country isn't any safer despite the dramatically higher proportion of guns per capita. It's almost as if it makes no difference on average, except of course to get a lot more people killed overall.

    But life only matters in the womb anyway.

    I don't have any disagreement with that. I have long said non-violent drug offenders shouldn't be in jail and selling and buying pot should not be a crime in the first place

    aren't any more dangerous either-the violent crime rate in the 1960s was much higher than the last 30 years-the period where the popularity of semi auto handguns and rifles skyrocketed

    Without guns, America as we know it wouldn't exist.
    Imagine how different it would be if the first European invaders to the Americas were met with firearms instead of arrows and spears.
    No genocide of the native peoples, no stealing their lands and forcing the few survivors into reservations etc.

    Great point, and imagine how things would have been different for the Black people in our country if they had always been permitted to exercise their right to bear arms. Without the White slaveowner's monopoly on violence chattel slavery would never have existed in Colonial America and the United States.

    which is why the post-reconstruction Klan dominated southern states tried to ban freemen from owning firearms. Gun control has racist roots in the USA and when you add the anti "papist" and anti Italian bias in the North, it is clear the most substantial foundation of American gun control is bigotry

    Yes. No sense in creating black markets which incentivize "bad guys" to use guns and bring about more situations where people feel a need to protect themselves.

    If we could agree on abortion rights for women, no gun grabbing and ending the futile "war on drugs," we might find we can get along much better than we do now.

    Careful.
    You do realize that slavery started in Africa by the tribal leaders selling off the people they had captured in battle to the Portuguese.?
    When they ran out of captives they started selling their own people to the Portuguese as slaves.
    So black Africans started the slave trade.

    LOL how does "well regulated" relate to "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

    Are you under the delusion that well regulated somehow limits the negative restriction on the federal government?

    What's the connection?

    The founders didn't want women to vote and they didn't have a problem with slavery.

    Are you okay with that too?

    If you're asking this question, you don't know US history or the Constitution.

    Guns aren't destroying anything here except for targets, ducks and rabbits. You must live in a violent place. Ever thought of moving?
    Gun ownership is a good thing because its recreational, fun competitive and reloading is the most relaxing thing you get do... better even than boating.
    Some people have fun working on an old chevy. I lik working on guns. Its fun.

    So in other words you're making an entirely unsupported claim with no evidence.

    And somehow it's my fault that you can't support your claim. Lol.
