Based on the way things seem to be going, I don't think you can
rule
it out. Rights are eroded one small step at a time. I don't
consider myself to be a hard core gun nut but do try to read the
tea
leaves and check which way the wind is blowing.

I guess I've been reading different tea leaves.

If there has ever been a period for advocates of gun bans and/or
repeal
of the 2A to be successful it was in the recent 18 month period that
involved something like 74 separate mass school shootings.

Can you cite one of those shootings that would have been stopped with
a stronger background check or gun registration? They had no problem
tracking every one of these guns back to a legal buyer, usually the
parent or the shooter himself.

They couldn't even get a universal background check approved.

Why bother to pass an unenforceable law, at least not against the
people you are trying to keep the gun away from.

That's not the point Greg. We were discussing the possibilities or
probabilities of guns being banned or revoking the 2A. My point was
that if there was ever a reason for those who would advocate a ban it
would have been the recent 74 mass school shootings. It wasn't enough
to even get universal background checks supported. That's why I don't
think you'll ever see a general ban of firearms in our lifetime or of
the next two or three generations.

You are approaching this issue with a can of paint and a brush while
standing at the door to a room with your back to the inside of the
room.
With every compromise you are taking a step backwards toward the corner
of the room and laying down a swath of wet paint in front of you.

Compromise to Gun Control Advocates is where you do what they say.

One thing is for sure Bar. This discussion has opened my eyes with
regard to how touchy this subject is and how adamant and fundamental
people are about their "gun rights". Even suggesting that maybe some
reasonable controls

and there is the problem. *You* decide what's "reasonable" then decide
who is being touchy... again, coming into a debate with predetermined
judgements, and just assuming everyone else stipulates to your point of
view (before the debate even starts) is arrogant.. and a few other
things I don't need to bother with. You do tend to start discussions
that are already finished in your head.... But that's what dems do....
be considered results in condemnation and ridicule
by some.

It was called a discussion Scott, something you are not capable of doing
without getting all puffy and getting your underwear in a bunch.

Just ignore it.

You are incredible... lol...

No, you are the incredible one. He pointed out your judgement errors. You
also probably camp in the left lane. I love driving in Europe. They seem
to know how to drive on a highway. Stay right except to pass. Cops give
tickets for driving in other than the left lane, if you are not passing.
