But this is a policy position, correct? You are against gun control leglistation in the current political climate because it has negative consequences for the Democratic party.

No, I'm against it b/c criminals do not follow the law to begin with. Law abiding citizens will be the ones without guns. If we could have a do-over and there weren't millions of weapons already in the market: I'd be open to discussion. But we are where we are.

Howver, you sincerely believe that there is no individual right and you feel far more threatened by individuals bearing arms than the government, correct?

I believe there is the right b/c the S.C. said so (as BHP pointed out). That being said: as I read that article and the 2A, I can see how the current interpretation which some see as "pry this from my cold dead hands" is NOT what the founders intended. I believe it was intended for military purposes.

Yes, I feel more threatened by armed individuals than armed government.
