CT sheep lined up to register. A guy I kinda know in Australia said "The penalty for not complying is so severe....we really didn't have a choice."Quote:

What kind of God-damn pussy is going to just roll over and give up their guns. Our firearms are the only thing standing between life and a mass grave.Quote:

This sentence tells me he pretty much has no grasp of the true meaning of the Constitution in general, or the Second Amendment specifically.
My interpretation of that is he believes the Constitution is outdated and flawed. "Slave-owners and muskets"? That's progressive code for "dead, rich white men wrote that" and "the framers couldn't possibly envisage modern guns like AR-15s"...the usual garbage that makes up the usual leftist argument that the Constitution being a living, breathing document. He didn't say anything about the SCOTUS.
A conservative, on the other hand, believes the Constitution says what it means. The Second Amendment allows us all to keep and bear arms, not because it was written by musket-owning slave-owners, but because they recognized that personal ownership of arms was of great value and a necessity to a truly free citizenry, for a variety of reasons...not the least of which was defense of self, home and property.

But if someone tells me they went to Berkeley I can practically guarantee that person is going to be left-leaning at a minimum, if not a full-blown communist...despite the fact some notable conservatives attended that school as well. Profiling can sometimes be pretty accurate.
Exactly. SCOTUS can ban them all they want.Quote:

Just as an aside, the Trump campaign stop here in Golden has effectively shut down my shop for the day, since the 5 different law enforcement agencies aren't letting any traffic west of the Jeffco Fairgrounds.
There seemed to be no issue at all in Boston after the marathon bombing. Hell people rolled over to accommodate the .mil presenceQuote:
