And you replied w a stupid playground insult ("little lib")...

Some of us are lifelong shooters and even CCW permit holders who also think he NRA is a bunch of unhinged looney blowhards... Hardly "little libs."  :roll: [/quote]

I'm not an NRA member and I support reasonable gun restrictions. [b]The problem is that, if you make ANY concessions on gun regulations, the democrats will take that as a sign that they can demand even more restrictive concessions.[/b] This is the pattern the left has taken on many issues (e.g., gay rights starting out just being civil unions which "would never be gay 'marriage', then turning around and demanding gay marriage, then demanding acceptance of "trans" people and so on and so forth). The NRA has figured out that you need to fight on every little issue and not give an inch, or the left will end up using their momentum to ban guns entirely. [/quote]
Oh, bullshit.  Hobby horses are for little children - I suggest you grow up and get off of yours.[/quote]

It's a bullshit slippery slope argument that has no basis in reality.  Democrats got the AWB and didn't get "more restrictive concessions" after that - in fact, the AWB expired, so Democrats went backwards, not in the direction you allege.

Sure, they got gay marriage, but basically your analogy of ever more concessions would have them not stopping until they forced every American into a gay marriage even if they are straight.  They obviously didn't do that either.

I am a gun owner myself and I am totally in favor of implementing a series of common sense gun law reforms.  I believe guns and gun owners should at a minimum be treated the same way as cars and drivers - with some basic eligibility criteria around background, health and age before being allowed to use a gun, with mandatory training, testing and licensure, with periodic licensure renewal processes.  There should also be mandatory, robust documentation on EVERY gun transfer and registration that must also be periodically renewed.  Guns must be accounted for.  If a gun goes lost, missing, stolen, it should be reported.  I also believe there should be liability insurance based on risk required for gun ownership, to pay for accidents or crimes.  Given we've already successfully done this with a quarter billion cars in the US, I can't see how this could ever be considered an "infringement" or impossibility do also do with guns.[/quote]
