[QUOTE="hidesert, post: 1239979, member: 97550"] What are the first three words of the second amendment? Oh, you mumble them or read them really fast or perhaps ignore them? It is not an unlimited unrestricted right. That is clear. But at least the Supreme Court has confirmed that it is an individual right. We don't have to worry about it being applied just to an organized militia. But what the hell! We gun enthusiasts are our own worst enemy! We are going to have a Democrat for President and in all likelihood, because the Republicans in Congress have behaved so badly, a Democrat congress. Deal with it! But deal with it thoughtfully. The NRA has long ago ceased to be a gun owners advocate and become a right wing political action organization. The shortages are caused by fear. Remember FDR's admonition that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Shortages of 22 rimfire ammo: why? no one has proposed banning this and is it really a tactical ammo useful for overthrowing an oppressive government? No. Get real. Assault weapons, large capacity magazines: I personally hate them but when I go to the range 90%+ of the shooters are using them. That train has left the station. There is no political or practical possibility of banning them now. Even Obama has realized this and has withdrawn his support for this. Clinton knows this too. Let your local Congressman or Woman (and it is more and more likely they will be a Democrat) know you are a gun owner. But here's the thing: in my state gun control measures have passed by the initiative process. People are sick and tired of the politicians being held hostage by the NRA. They are not going to take it anymore. This is reality. [/QUOTE]
