How so? I have openly and strongly supported the 2d Amendment here and was a member of NRA before many of these right wingers on this forum were born. In fact, one day I did one of those google searches for my name and found that it identified me as a "registered Republican who is a strong advocate for 2d amendment rights". The first part of that profile is wrong, of course, but the second was quite accurate. FACT.
You are correct in that most from that part of the aisle do "think" rationally whereas the other side reacts without thinking.
I'm in no way claiming my fellow righties are open-minded. I just find lefties to be very close-minded as well. Let's see, let's talk about abortion. Lefties are as close-minded about being for legal abortion as righties are about being against it. Realistically speaking, we all think that the other side is close-minded, because they don't agree with us and won't change their mind to agree with us. Neither side is very open-minded on subjects that they care about.
California's approval of the Mulford Act was one of the most illegal actions ever. It was a blatant spit into the face of the Constitution. Shame on right wingers for approving of it. I condemned it back then and still do so to this day.
it was approved by democrats, whom controlled the house at that time... also, 3 cali democrats co-authored the bill along with repub mulford...
Almost all of their socio-economic engineering ends with "if you try that, we'll shoot you" So, they want to take the guns. It's that simple.
If you are always arguing with gun advocates, and your posts are "liked" by anti gunners, what does that mean?
I haven't seen too many gun banners who care much about the truth. After all most of them dishonestly claim that crime control motivates their desires to ban guns, when the obvious truth is-gun control is intended to harass conservative voters
Over the years I have learned many of those who purport to be telling the truth are in reality proffering falsehoods for a cause.
As I have noted, the gun restrictionist movement is the most dishonest political movement in the USA because they invariably lie about their true motivations. It is easily proven because if saving innocent lives is what motivated them, they would 1) target things that kill far more people than guns 2) actually target criminals-80% or more of all homicides with handguns are perpetrated by those who already are banned from having guns. Rather, gun restrictionists try to harass lawful gun owners, while ignoring calls to crack down on criminals 3)be something other than an almost 100% leftwing movement.
Which constitution? How do we know you condemned it. IT was mainly a Democrat party passed bit of idiocy. How old are you btw. That was passed over 52 years ago.
I was a member of the NRA back then and am approaching my 70s. Reagan's action was a betrayal of the Constitution as was the right wing's support of his misdeeds.
Thank you California, I was worried that gang bangers will be able to legally buy ammo now they won't. The streets will be safe for now on, those criminals might as well just give it up, turn in their guns, they are of no use anymore without ammo. Thank God for democrats they have saved the world again. Scenario: Citizen: "Oh my gosh, some criminal just did a drive by shooting, killing a child" Democrat" Damnit, if we just stop law abiding people from buying ammo then we can stop this madness" Citizen "huh?"
The NRA didn't have much of a choice as the alternative would have been a PR disaster. The law was proposed and passed because of the Black Panthers walking around carrying openly and threatening people.
and Jack Kennedy was an NRA member who supported the second amendment. Right now, the Democrat party wants to eliminate the right of honest people to own the same guns cops are provided with from our tax dollars.
