Yes, we do have the 1st amendment. Of course, she is after that also. John--Las Vegas.

Looking forward to the pros and cons discussion.

Yet another politico who fails to understand that a .223 semi-auto rifle with a 30 round mag is no more dangerous than a .30-06 semi-auto rifle w/ a 5 round stripper clip. This is literally not only another excuse to curtail gun rights, but the most disgusting proof of the saying "Never let a good disaster go to waste."

retyler

Only as long as we have the second amendment. Without that we are puppets.

I guess I'm behind the times.

Exactly what is being done to take away our 1st amendment?

And, when you decide to rebel against the local, state, county police, and the US Army, Marines, and National Guard, be prepared to provide your own power, electricity, heat, water, sewage treatment, food, etc, because you will be isolated as quicker than you can say "lock and load".

Make sure your family is safe from drones, helicoptors, etc.

And, all those countries that do business in this global economy aren't going to look highly on a country in rebellion, so watch the USA economy go down the tubes.

Last, but not least, assuming you are victorious, (joke) who do you have in mind to run the country should you overthrow the government?

retyler

Is that all you are concerned about? Did you ever consider what others sacrificed for your well being? If you're not willing to fight and die for liberty and freedom, then don't stand in the way of others.

Define "people", Dan H.

I'm a senior citizen, white guy. Our numbers are dwindling, and we will soon be a minority in this country.

So, if I were a politician looking to be re-elected, or a party out of power, who do you think I would favor?

It's called survival.
