    Here's the solution. Disarm the 99% of law-abiding gun owners and see
    how that works out. While we are at it, make it a felony to lock our
    doors, our cars and forget to leave the keys in the ignition. We
    wouldn't want to inconvenience the criminals and cause them to become
    angry.

    Don't forget to vote for Kamala Harris or the next stooge Democrats toss
    on the election scrap heap.

    Yessiree, when Sears Roebuck & Co, would send a gun via United States

    A 50 round box of .22LR ammo was less than $1 + postage.

    Here's what would actually work: Clarify the second amendment to:
    "Congress shall make no law restricting the right of the people to
    keep and bear arms. The federal government will register all gun
    transactions and the record of these will be in the public domain;
    however, gun regulation shall be left entirely to the states. A
    person who buys a gun is responsible for the gun until it is
    transferred... or destroyed."

    As far as the federal government is concerned, you may have any gun
    you please... period. This would include fully-automatic,
    teflon-coated projectiles, and "silencers". Gun regulation is sent
    down to the states where it belonges. The gun laws in rural Montana
    would be (and should be) different from urban New Jersey.

    Whit this, you can't buy a gun and sell it into the secondary market
    because 1) it would ce a criminal act and 2) the initial buyer would
    be responsible (i.e.: liable) for it.

    It's the best of both worlds: any gun you want, but you're responsible
    for what you buy.

    Gun registration works quite well in societies where rule by law is
    respected (Switzerland is a good example; there are myriad others)...
    the US has never been a particularly law-abiding nation, though. I
    agree that it probably won't happen because it uses the wrong
    "R-word": instead of *rights*, it focuses on *responsibility* and the
    gun crowd will never accept that idea.

    BTW, you're misquoting the second amendment by omission. The quote
    should be 27 words; truncating it to the 14 words you *like* misses
    the point. That's not an introductory clause, sir... in fact, it
    isn't a *clause* at all; it's an integral noun phrase absolutely
    necessary to the correct interpretation of the sentence's subject. Mr Madison's topic was the state militias. The second amendment was
    included as a compromise on the question of slavery without explicitly mentioning the term. If you read the Richmond ratification debates
    (you *do* read, don't you?), you see that the dominant topic was, by
    far and away, slavery; guns were never even mentioned.

    Obviously, the gun laws would change at the state lines; however, this
    is true of any regulated activity when crossing a state line...
    interstate trucking, for example. When you drive across a state line,
    you're expected to be cognizant of the motor vehicle laws of the
    state[s] into which you travel. What's different about expecting you
    to know the gun laws therein?

    It has to come from the top down leaving states in the position of >compliance. My take on the whole thing is if the cops can have a
    particular weapon, so can I. Othewise 2A becomes biased in favor of the >government, who at times becomes our worst enemy when we don't pay

    I'm not sure why a state can't enact a perfectly valid set of laws
    respecting acceptable gun behavior within that state. I would suggest
    that the states are in a *far* better position to articulate that than
    a one-size-fits-all approach dictated from D.C. Remember that the
    states created the federal government, not visa versa. It this case,
    the fed simply reports the gun sale to the state.

    transactions and the record of these will be in the public domain;
    however, gun regulation shall be left entirely to the states. A
    person who buys a gun is responsible for the gun until it is
    transferred... or destroyed."

    As far as the federal government is concerned, you may have any gun
    you please... period. This would include fully-automatic,
    teflon-coated projectiles, and "silencers". Gun regulation is sent
    down to the states where it belonges. The gun laws in rural Montana
    would be (and should be) different from urban New Jersey.

    Whit this, you can't buy a gun and sell it into the secondary market
    because 1) it would ce a criminal act and 2) the initial buyer would
    be responsible (i.e.: liable) for it.

    It's the best of both worlds: any gun you want, but you're responsible
    for what you buy.

    So, universal gun registration and a nationwide patchwork of gun laws.
    That's never going to happen. Here's what would actually work:
    "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

    Gun registration works quite well in societies where rule by law is
    respected (Switzerland is a good example; there are myriad others)...
    the US has never been a particularly law-abiding nation, though. I
    agree that it probably won't happen because it uses the wrong
    "R-word": instead of *rights*, it focuses on *responsibility* and the
    gun crowd will never accept that idea.

    BTW, you're misquoting the second amendment by omission. The quote
    should be 27 words; truncating it to the 14 words you *like* misses
    the point. That's not an introductory clause, sir... in fact, it
    isn't a *clause* at all; it's an integral noun phrase absolutely
    necessary to the correct interpretation of the sentence's subject. Mr Madison's topic was the state militias. The second amendment was
    included as a compromise on the question of slavery without explicitly mentioning the term. If you read the Richmond ratification debates
    (you *do* read, don't you?), you see that the dominant topic was, by
    far and away, slavery; guns were never even mentioned.

    I misquoted nothing. I propose amending 2A by eliminating
    those words. There are a myriad statements by the founding
    fathers affirming an individual right to bear arms, and
    recent SCOTUS decisions to the same effect.

    It's not possible for states to apply equal and fair regulations.
    Transporting weapons from one state to another and running afoul of some

    Obviously, the gun laws would change at the state lines; however, this
    is true of any regulated activity when crossing a state line...
    interstate trucking, for example. When you drive across a state line,
    you're expected to be cognizant of the motor vehicle laws of the
    state[s] into which you travel. What's different about expecting you
    to know the gun laws therein?

    It has to come from the top down leaving states in the position of
    compliance. My take on the whole thing is if the cops can have a
    particular weapon, so can I. Othewise 2A becomes biased in favor of the
    government, who at times becomes our worst enemy when we don't pay
    attention to it.

    I'm not sure why a state can't enact a perfectly valid set of laws
    respecting acceptable gun behavior within that state. I would suggest
    that the states are in a *far* better position to articulate that than
    a one-size-fits-all approach dictated from D.C. Remember that the
    states created the federal government, not visa versa. It this case,
    the fed simply reports the gun sale to the state.

    I'm not sure why a state can't enact a perfectly valid set of laws
    respecting acceptable free speech and religion within that state.
    I would suggest that the states are in a *far* better position to

    Do you see how crazy that sounds?

    It isn't being infringed, Francis, you fucking dope. You don't have a
