A reasonable compromise?

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Not 1 more inch. These "compromises" always entail us giving something up in return for them feeling better

If anything the guns laws should be reduced. When we do that implement accountability.

No such thing as reasonable restrictions on the 2nd or any other of out rights.

why do we discount the founders warnings so much, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" - BF

how would you feel about a buyers card like nebraska . basically you fill out the 4473 once with the sheriff and they mail a card . once you have a card you present it to anyone who wishes to sell a firearm to insure that the seller is covered . granted this system does not stop criminals from breaking the law but it does eliminate the need to run a 4473 every time you want to purchase at a store.

This. I just sent an idea similar to this to Rep Stephens. And remove make/model/SN from a 4473, and bingo! Gun grabbers get their background checks, and nobody gets their 2A (more) stepped on. This card should be available at every sporting goods store, SO/PD HQ, Walmart, etc, just like a fishing or hunting license. And it should be limited to 24 hour turn around. If they can't do an "instant" background check under 24 hours, the liability is on them (current CCW also counts, to avoid having to reprocess all those folks).

I liked it right up to #5. Drop #5 and I think it's fine. Otherwise, I agree with those who say there is NO more compromise when it comes to our rights. There's already been too much, and the only people who have gotten anything out of it is them. (Yeah, I know, the amorphous "them"...)

“...Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrendered their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.”
― John Adams

The National Firearms Act was a COMPROMISE
The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 was a COMPROMISE
The Gun Control Act of 1968 was a COMPROMISE
The Gun-Free School Zones Act was a COMPROMISE
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was a COMPROMISE
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban was a COMPROMISE

What have the anti's given up? It seems that we keep "compromising" and giving up bits and pieces of our RIGHTS, a little bit at a time. Soon there will be nothing left.

FUCK COMPROMISE

Let's say I have this cake. It is a very nice cake, with "GUN RIGHTS" written across the top in lovely floral icing. I received it from the 2nd amendment and the Dick act of 1902.
...
Along you come and say, "Give me that cake." I say, "No, it's my cake." You say, "Let's compromise. Give me half." I respond by asking what I get out of this compromise, and you reply that I get to keep half of my cake.

Okay, we compromise. Let us call this compromise The National Firearms Act of 1934.

There I am with my half of the cake, and you walk back up and say, "Give me that cake."

I say, "No, it's my cake."

You say, "Let's compromise." What do I get out of this compromise? Why, I get to keep half of what's left of the cake I already own.

So, we have your compromise -- let us call this one the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- and I'm left holding what is now just a quarter of my cake.

And I'm sitting in the corner with my quarter piece of cake, and here you come again. You want my cake. Again.

You say, "Let's compromise once more." What do I get out of this compromise? I get to keep one eighth of what's left of the cake I already own?

So, we have your compromise -- let us call this one the Machine gun ban of 1986 -- and I'm left holding what is now just an eighth of my cake.

I sit back in the corner with just my eighth of cake that I once owned outright and completely, I glance up and here you come once more.

You say nothing and just grab my cake; This time you take several bites -- we'll call this compromise the Clinton Executive Orders -- and I'm left with about a tenth of what has always been MY DAMN CAKE and you've got nine-tenths of it.

Then we compromised with the Lautenberg Act (nibble, nibble), the HUD/Smith and Wesson agreement (nibble, nibble), the Brady Law (NOM NOM NOM), the School Safety and Law Enforcement Improvement Act (sweet tap-dancing Freyja, my finger!)

I'm left holding crumbs of what was once a large and satisfying cake, and you're standing there with most of MY CAKE, making anime eyes and whining about being "reasonable", and wondering "why we won't compromise".

[SA Friday]

I never got past "law by executive order". Uh, no... executive order is not and cannot be law. This retarded president and vice president think if they say something in executive order, it will apply to everyone. Short of directing employees within the executive branch, they mean NOTHING.

[UrbanWolf]

We have compromised enough, time to stand up.

Ever been around a begging dog? So I got my plate and this mutt keeps hounding, whining, and giving puppy dog eyes because he wants a piece of my tasty steak. So to shut him up, I toss him a piece... Guess what happens right after he's done devouring that piece?

America's dog is begging folks.

[DOC]

How about removing the Hughes Amendment from the mostly FOPA. Then he can bitch about assault weapons because they will actually be legal and cheap to own again.

Than the compromise will be a 2 parter. Obama is homo and Fienstein can go fuck herself.
