So I have a new idea for a "compromise"

Nancy Pelosi, and the Brady campaign, have all said in no uncertain terms, that they want ALL firearms transfers to be subject to an NICS background check, so to be sure that the person obtaining it is a law abiding citizen, which to some extent, makes a little sense.

Ok hear me out now. I would agree to this on ONE condition: That NFA '34 and GCA'68 were repealed. Since they claim that by passing this law, only law abiding persons would be able to posses or transfer any gun, what would they have to fear about allowing the average person to just go down to the local gun store and buy an automatic Kalishnakov?

What do you think?

I would agree with it. But it doesn't jive with the second amendment.

I tried to think of something like this once, but I was shot down, and for good reason. The very concept of "compromise" is the exact opposite of "shall not be infringed."

I have a comprimise for them. They repeal all the gun laws ever made and appolgize for a hundred years of theft, murder and lies. And I will support their desire for abortion, gay marriage (hell I'll let them marry their hybrid if they want to) and drug use. As long as they don't hurt anyone else in doing it.

ROTFLMAO!!! Marry a hybrid....

They would have to let me own a HUMVEE with a 50 BMG mounted, unlimited ammo, and a full time driver with unlimited border protection rights.

other than that, the word compromise is non existant when it comes to my firearms. they can shove it, and repeal all existing laws with only 1 law remaining..."all new laws proposed to limit, restrict or infringe on the 2nd amendment shall be punishable by death"

I really like that idea! I would support that law!

fuk em..

The idea of a compromise is premised on the idea that both sides have legitimate claims and come to the table on the same principle (for example, when you haggle with a gun dealer on price, both of you are still operating under the premise that the gun dealer, as the proper owner of the firearm, must be compensated in an amount that he, free of coercion, agrees to before you can take proper ownership of the firearm.)

The Brady Bunch and anyone who is liberty-minded has no such common ground. There is nothing to negotiate or compromise about that you can refer to a common premise that both sides will adhere to.

There is nothing to gain by a compromise of that sort. If you had the votes to rescind the NFA and other laws, you wouldn't need to compromise with the Brady Bunch.
