Kraken,
compromise with the anti's is futile. You can't bargain with someone who thinks what they own is theirs and what you own is negotiable. We the gun owners have been compromising for 100 years. in 1934 we lost machine guns (assault weapons) and suppressors (a.k.a. silencers) and artillery pieces and SBR's. Yes, prior to 1934 you could buy a cannon. but who would. they are outrageously expensive. in 1968 we lost direct mail order from the factory, instituted the 4473 form and forced everyone to go to a dealer. And since then they have instituted background checks, wait periods, licensing requirements (not all states), etc.
We have given, and given and given. Yet each tragedy the anti's call for more laws and more control. They scream about the mythical loophole. Well, no one explains the loop holes have been closed many times over. The anti's use it as a sound bite to scare people. it's an old Rules for Radicals strategy. Keep the people in a constant state of fear any they will beg you to enslave them. The anti's say they want reasonable, but never define reasonable. And what is reasonable to you is not reasonable to me. Then when you try to have a debate, the instance to deviate from their planned agenda, they scream you are obstructing forward progress, hate children and want to murder everyone then whine some more and shut down the debate. Basically when like little children, grab their ball and go home until you "compromise" some more in their favor while you get ass raped with a cactus.
Anyway, the bottom line is we have compromised and they still want more. At some point we need to put our feet down and say enough. where do we draw a hard line and say NO????????
I think we need to look at other factors besides guns. Each shooter seems to violate half dozen laws or more yet we need more laws. WTF? And something interesting that is not discussed is many of these nut bags have a history of mental illness and are taking SSRI anti depressant drugs. A known side effect is violent psychotic breakdowns. especially if you stop taking them cold turkey. Maybe we need to look at the mulit-billion pharmaceutical companies instead of guns???????
No more compromise until both sides can sit at the table and drill down to the actual root cause of the problem. It's not just guns. It's not just drugs. It is probably several factors and until we drill down to the root cause (or causes) we cannot make a rational decision on what laws we need.
As long as the anti's act like whiny little children throwing a temper tantrum, I say compromise is over.
