    And yet more people die in cities than in sparsely populated areas. For example Alaska as a whole had 177 deaths in 2020. Chicago, a city, had 769.

    Yes, Alaska on a per capita basis has more gun deaths. But more people are killed in cities than in whole states.

    Every law on the subject has been a erosion with nothing given in return.

    The NFA, the Hughes Amendment, the Bradey Bill; all concession no compromise.

    I am not nor will I ever be ashamed for standing up for my freedoms. You should be ashamed for advancing an authoritarian agenda.

    Again, I must remind you that the Constitution may be repealed and in fact the 2nd. amendment is nothing more than .... an amendment. It too can be amended or totally repealed which is also well within the stipulation of Constitutional rights/freedom.
    So you are anti-Constitution. Continue reading ........ :below:
    First of all the Constitution was never created with an authoritarian agenda in mind. That is exactly why the right to amend or repeal any part of it was/is provided. By refusing to acknowledge that fact you are in essence anti-Constitutional in theory and also in practice if you resist any lawful amendment and/or repeal.

    THE BOTTOM LINE is that you don't really understand what the Constitution is or how it was written and conceived. In short, you are talking about something you know very little about and you are completely ignorant on the parts of the Constitution that make it worthy. As I've already stated, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. :bookdiva:

    The inconvenient truth: All crime including gun crime soars after the public is prohibited from carrying concealed handguns by government. Surely you know that by now.

    Just read my posts more carefully and you will discover far more common ground.

    I am not sure Thingamabob would favor amending the 2nd amendment.

    And if that happens you WILL see what a real insurrection looks like. That's not a threat. Not a guess. That's a promise.

    :lol: Shooting holes in people or not shooting holes in people. Which one is "pure evil"? :laughing:

    Ps. There is no shortage of edible meat.

    I don't care what happens to other people, you try to limit freedoms, you are the problem.

    You didn't answer the question. I'll ask you again :below:
    Is the question too difficult? :nerd:

    I do not know why you favor eliminating the 2nd amendment, and I would like to know.

    You just recently led me to believe that you are an earnest, deep-thinking man. Why are you now feigning ignorance? "Playing stupid" isn't very admirable.

    I do not know why you support eliminating the 2nd amendment. I can't read your mind, but I would like to think it is not simply because you oppose allowing the people to bear arms. I would be very interested in your thoughts on the subject. If you have already posted on the subject I have missed it.

    We can add to deaths from shootings approximately 85,000 fatal drug overdoses per anum and the unknown number of people who die from dispersing COVID-19 infected illegal immigrants throughout our country. These tragic deaths are linked to the administration's southern border policies. Enough said.

    Meh! I would rather have the freedom NOT to have to carry a gun or live in fear of the next idiot shooter or go to the grocery store in safety.

    Whistling past the graveyard as your politicians pass a law allowing the authorities to spy on you without a warrant.

    Australian opinions on freedom are relegated to the trash bin where they belong.

    Nikolas Cruz ,,, despite 40 interactions with the police ,,, had nothing on his record to prevent him from passing a background check. Promise Neighborhoods, an Obama-Holder-Duncan program issued school discipline guidelines that allowed your moron, Cruz, to legally obtain a gun and kill 17 people in school. The guidance and Obama-bucks behind it was so strong that law enforcement didn't dare enter the school to stop the killing.

    Fast forward to today. Soros saw how successful progressive policies were in unleashing your morons and creating chaos by putting weapons in their hands that he started funding progressive law enforcement. Soros' progressive cult not only promoted the defunding of police departments, but pumped megabucks into campaigns for progressive law enforcement officials who promised to look the other way when crimes were committed, no matter how heinous.

    At the same time, AG Merrick Garland's son-in-law's business sells curricula that stoke the flames of racism in schools. Garland is now seen protecting his family's income stream by threatening parents who go to school board meetings to object.

    Ooooh! Goody!! Meantime when was our last mass shooting?
    https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-...5-years-since-worst-mass-shooting-2021-04-28/

    They are wrong - there have been three meeting the FBI criteria of four or more dead - 2 family murder/suicides and one idiot with a shotgun in Darwin but the rest of the numbers are correct

    BBC has a good take on this https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-48522788
