    The NRA is not quite "radical" enough. Many laws need to be repealed.

    Specifically, how?

    The NRA protects our rights. The gov on the other hand will do all kinds of FAKE research to support the commie agenda until they get their fake data they feel is needed to destroy freedom. The left want professional victims, something our forefathers did not want and warned us against. I put my faith in our forefathers, not the commie take over by the left.

    Maybe we could start doing that with drugs and inside of a generation there will be no more drug addiction.

    I mean there's NO way anyone could smuggle ammunition or sell it illegally. That could never happen.

    Do they use the word "sarcasm" where you come from?

    Yay!

    How long before drugs are gone since they're already illegal?

    Are you attempting to convey sarcasm, or seriousness?

    Your proposal is unenforceable, as well as unworkable. Simply prohibiting the manufacture, sale, transportation, and ownership of ammunition, will do absolutely nothing to address the countless hundreds of billions of rounds already in private circulation, with countless more being added daily. You may as well be proposing a prohibition against carbon monoxide.

    At least you recognize guns are an addiction like heroin. That is the first step to recovery.

    If you can call guns an addiction, then I get to call not being raped or murdered an addiction as well. If someone is addicted to heroin and is going to victimize someone to feed that addiction, then runs into someone, um, lets say your mother, sister, or daughter, you wouldn't want them to have a way of defending themselves?

    Firearms are no more an addiction than any other inanimate object. If firearms can be considered an addiction, so can red clay bricks and skanes of yarn.

    I've never smoked a gun.

    Tell me more.

    Well, I've made them smoke, but I didn't inhale.

    It's almost like they know what would happen if the data were accumulated and made public... [​IMG]

    Perfect example of the snowflakes determined to take up arms against a Trump administration. Problem is they are likely to shoot out their own eye with their Red Ryder BB gun.

    The CDC has NOTHING to do with guns or gun violence. It is just another agency trying to expand their authority and increase their budget and staffing. If anyone were to explore "gun violence" it should be the FBI or Justice Department. A gun is not a disease.

    However, your message is confused anyway. The CDC doesn't even appear in the Constitution. Who told you that it does?

    Many on the left will never stop pushing their claim that people have a citizen's duty to allow themselves and others to be robbed, assaulted, raped, tortured and murdered for what they claim is the common good - nor will they continue to insist that rapists and murderers not be harmed.
