The only "compromise" I'd be for is whatever gun laws are passed for citizens Congress must also follow. No more "assaault" weapons? Same for the people that guard congress. No more than 10 rounds? Ok. Same for the people that guard congress.

If The People don't need arms, Congress surely does not.
OP is gonna check with his wife and her boyfriend and see if those terms are acceptable.

Nobody missed the point. We have no intention of FURTHER compromising on a God-given right, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. We have "compromised' over, and over, and over again. What did it get us? Yet more demonization, and further demands for compromise.


His point of "Compromise" wasn't actually compromising, it was controlling the Narrative.


I don't want my rights infringed by limiting my mag size or barrel length. I support universal concealed carry across state lines, I support background checks, I support automatic weapons only sold to individuals who have the correct permit to buy

As the OP stated, most of these laws already exist, but that's not the narrative.

Except it plays into the incrementalism that has been the stalwart of gun-control advocacy since the early 1970's.

frick republicans, they'll sell your arse down the river.

In order to win the gun control battle republicans must learn to control the narrative. Liberals have done so for decades now with incorrect use of terms and the myth of loopholes. Turn this against them by presenting "compromises" and laws that essentially are already in effect even though the average leftist thinks that anyone can go on ebay and have a fully automatic weapon delivered to their house.


The Constitution is clear.

Gun control Compromise



I already voiced my gun control compromise to that potato head poster this morning.

I'll give up my right to own guns when the left wingers give up their right to vote. Their rights are no more special than mine and I have no intention of surrendering them

That's garbage. That's a common 2A stepper approach. CCW is infringement.

So now I get to have the government involved if I sell or transfer a firearm to family member? frick all of that.
quote:

So those with Class III licenses will become outlaws? frick all of that, also.

None of that is compromise. It's a fundamental erosion of 2A, so no thanks.

You support stupid pointless legislation where the only two outcomes are more restrictive laws or more red tape? That’s a win to you?

You cannot compromise with liberals on anything that involves giving more power to the federal government. Trump's mistake about extending restrictions after the initial two weeks to flatten the curve were up should show you that.

Indeed. If democrats can trick republicans into affirming their false premises... they will have disarmed republicans from making future arguments against them.

NEVER affirm someone else false premise.

She suggests outlawing all full autos and would require any firearm purchase to have a background check. She's woefully unclear on the "shall not" part of infringement. Maybe you are, as well.


Last time you bought a gun, how was your background check? Or did you piss and moan and say "frick all that" and storm out?

Which is stepping and infringement itself, but OP said "outlawing all full auto". That's not the same as requiring a permit for it.

Example - is "outlawing all alcohol" the same thing as "needing a license to buy alcohol"?

I've bought plenty, both from retailers and private citizens.

The last time you bought a firearm from a private citizen, did they require you to do a background check? Because that's what OP wants. Reread it.

Maybe you and I have different grasps of the English language, but I take the words "any gun" to mean any gun. Period. And that's bullshite stepping and governmental involvement when it isn't needed.

I would prefer to put persons who commit gun crimes in jail for 20 years without parole.

And to leave the 99% of law abiding gun owners alone.

I support banning gun free zones, or holding the owner of any building that is labeled a "gun free zone" financially and legally responsible for not taking every possible step to ensure their building actually is gun free. There needs to be real consequence for disarming law abiding citizens and turning them into targets.

1. Mental illness in high school or later triggers a new mental illness check before purchasing a gun as an adult.

2. Mandatory gun registration. All sales run through a gun shop / broker with background check.

Why not just ban mental illness? There! It's fixed.

Because as we all know, if you buy a gun from a gun shop it is no longer able to be used in a mass shooting.

I should have clarified for those who have been living under a rock. Retread the current laws which have effectively outlawed fully auto weapons for individuals.

I want no such thing. Private transfer of property between family members and friends should be protected. I was speaking of purchasing firearms from dealers and at gunshows and was not intentionally speaking on private transfers. I would add that with current gun laws I personally would not be comfortable selling to someone I did not know anyways (I'm not interested in selling my guns in general anyways)
