Big Bob fits right in with Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, and lots of other dictators who took away guns for people control. It is a necessity to establish a dictatorship. The New York Times published an article in the mid 1930s about how one German state had to take the guns away from the Jewish people because the Jewish people were shooting Nazis, and they reported that nonsense with a straight face. Then in 1938, Hitler's Reich gun law took guns away from everybody. I'll bet those Jewish folks wished they still had their guns when the Gestapo came to send them to the camps. While criminals should not have guns, only totalitarians want to take them from law abiding citizens.

You are right Bubba, in that we are on the path of more and more guns. That will continue for a while. Since more guns = more killing and less safety, in time, the pendulum will swing the other way. For now enjoy your guns and safety. What little there is.

Gun controlled Democrat cities and states are where criminals are killing people. Most mass shootings happen in "gun free zones" where the crazies expect no one will have a gun to shoot back. Leftwing policies are what cause these problems. And where there is strict gun control, the criminals start killing with other methods like the rampant knife crime in the UK. Toktalitarians push gun control for political control.

Time will tell. At the current and increasing rate of slaughter on American streets I predict things will change as the public tires of being shot at in the grocery store, parking lot or at school.

"Big Bob," there is no "We," there is no "middle ground" in the 2nd Amendment.

I think there is lots of middle ground. For now we are going with more guns equal more safety. Since there is no basis in reality for this statement there will come a turning point. Things will swing the other way. Shame so many will die but nobody is willing to do anything. For now.

"Big Bob," I suppose you are speaking to either the Convention of States, or an Amendment dissolving the 2nd Amendment?
Both would be close to never possible, so there effectively is no "middle ground" on the Second Amendment.

I'll Bite. I am a gun toting Leftie. The 2nd amendment is in the constitution. Although there is a mechanism to remove it, it's not going to happen in my life time. So what to do?
On the one extreme, there are those that want zero gun restrictions. None. On the other extreme there are those that want to ban all guns. Neither is going to happen. So, where is the middle ground? That's what this fight is about. Both sides need to do a better job because clearly, we are failing.

CV: You are correct about that; first they take our guns, then the rest of our God given freedoms protected by the US Constitution.
Therefore, it is good to know thine enemy.

"Lib" is probably not an accurate enoughr description for how far left this wingnut flake woman whose position on private ownership of guns seems to be identical to that of Hitler, Mao, and Stalin, and to the left of even Lenin, is.

Because, now we have two, and it creates a dichotomy of expression, one that can be easily countered.
Furthermore, it gives me a developed perspective into how these people think; because, I am faced with this failed logic in my everyday life, which goes well beyond publishing ENC NOW. You know, I have never heard a concise, respectable argument for ridding ourselves of the 2nd Amendment. Maybe it will show up one day on ENC NOW.

Stan, the lefties don't publish conservative articles on their sites. This woman's husband has been your token leftist for some time. Why add this far left fruitcake?

Lib, I don't believe you understand the 2nd Amendment, and if you did, you might have written this article from an entirely different perspective.
