    banning semi autos is not sensible
    banning normal capacity magazines is not sensible
    the federal government doesn't have the power to make private sellers conduct background checks and without unconstitutional complete registration of all firearms, it cannot be enforced. Even more unconstitutional and worthless is requiring a license to buy a firearm-how is that going to impact criminals?

    If you need to pretend most Americans are Big Blue Meanies that want to take even the most firearm-dependents' precious shooties away, that is what you will do.

    Your views are not shared by the majority, unless you only trust insane, biased polls conducted by anti gun groups. Surveys??? Heheh. You can get ANY result you want by just wording the questions a certain way. I have a family member who conducts surveys and runs statistics. Its amazing how easy it is. What did the survey say, "Who supports sensible gun control measures?", hehe. And if they said yes, they agree with YOU??

    yeah, or "high capacity magazines". to the anti gun left that is anything that holds more than 7 or 10 rounds

    to people who understand firearms-that means stuff like a 100 round AR mag or a 60 round glock mag

    Your imaginary enemy will not be difficult to defeat, even if your aim is abysmal.

    As they should, through their elected representative Legislatures, just as the Court said.

    all those seats were filled by the president at the time

    but yes, the 60 vote rules made sure all picks were moderate

    Prosecutorial discretion that acknowledges the prevailing public sentiment, a public sentiment that opposes authoritarian intrusion into private communications and confiscation of private mail, along with accommodations by advanced states to offset the retrogressive ones, will all be significant factors in how ruthlessly the unpopular decision can be imposed.

    If you doubt that I share most Americans' views concerning sensible firearm regulation and Roe v Wade, as confirmed in public survey after public survey, you are free to offer any contradictory documentation that you can contrive.

    Good luck with that.

    Are you sure that's what they said? I mean exactly what they said, not what you seem to recall they said. Completely and in context, please. I don't think it's anywhere near that simple but it's certainly on tape.

    It's just my default position from now on that everything you ever say is false. Everything I've heard you say up into this point has been.

    If you have "prevailing public sentiment" then you should have no problem with your representative legislature codifying them into law.

    You are clearly incapable of sustaining your baseless denial with any substantive refutation.

    You just don't like my documented statements.

    As you should be well aware, politicians do not automatically, instantaneously, reflect the majority of their constituents, even when gerrymandering is a major factor in their being elected. Special interests bankrolling their kowtowing to their agenda is one of many considerations.

    Surely, you don't deny the overwhelming confirmation that the

    You are free to pretend that if you need to, of course.

    So then there's no problem. People just vote in politicians that make it legal to have an abortion if it's really more popular that's how it works.
