re: Supreme Court rules against 'Straw Purchasers' of Guns

The reason gun ownership advocates are so easy to get a rise out of is because they understand the end game for those opposed to guns is the outright banning of private ownership.
Compromise is not wise because there is no point at which those opposed to private ownership will say "OK. Good enough." Every compromise gun owners make is just a slow walk to an outright ban.
I've heard it compared to smokers. Smokers were smoking in the restaurant and at some point were asked if they minded sitting in their own section. They said "Sure." Then they were asked to sit out on the patio and they said "Sure." Then they were asked to not smoke in the patio section and to go completely outside to smoke. They said "Sure." Then they were told they couldn't smoke within 30 feet of the entrance. By saying "Sure" they went from their table in the restaurant to halfway down the street in 4 steps.
This is why gun owners don't mind being called reactionary for being upset about what seems to be reasonable compromise. They understand the goals and methods of those that are asking them to compromise.

Upvote. You get and understand it perfectly clear. Gun grabbers will never stop and they will keep compromising their way to their ultimate goal, the ban on law abiding citizens owning guns.

Every now and then somebody writes something on this board that is so good you have to read it twice. Not because you didn't understand it the first time, but because you just want to savor the intelligence, insight, and thoughtfulness on display.
Great job, Scoop!

These damn liberal judges basically admit that even though there is no legislation that supports it WE GONNA INVENT A LAW, like we did in Roe vs. Wade.
Ought to be tried for treason.
This is why our judicial branch has basically become nothing more than a political game of football, and why THEY DON'T NEED TO BE DECIDING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
