    I'm just asking where the line is. It's it if the government physically comes to take your weapons? Or is it earlier, like if they were to prevent you from buying a certain kind?

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    that has nothing to do with the question I asked...........'does your freedom give you the right to dictate the lives and actions of others?'

    they don't have the constitutional authority to prevent me from buying a certain weapon............they get away with it because a majority of people trust the government more than they do people. the left and right have done a masterful job of deluding those people.

    So for example, because society at large has deemed fully automatic weapons more dangerous than semi automatic, the government gets away with putting significantly more restrictions on their sale? But you don't think this should be the case, but you go along with it anyway because of society?

    Yes, when those actions directly impact me.
    When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

    First off, when you post gibberish like this (I believe it's 3 in the same place. Do should my 5 round .38 special revolver be outlawed since I could kill 5 people in one place?) do not feel offended if people do not understand what children like you are trying to say.

    As to your question, shit head Repugnant ones could not care less about the deaths caused by their self gratification as long as they can get their way.

    One of my many weapons is a Glock .40 cal, semi-auto for which I have several magazines, 10 round, 15 round, 20 round, and 32 round. I oppose many laws in regard to the transfer of guns that Oregon has passed, and even ones that are considered to be for "safety" reasons such as locking up a weapon. My Glock is loaded, and in the night stand next to my bed. My G/F has her .38 in her night stand, loaded. But we are both 77, and in not real good health.

    Having said that, I also recognize the need to regulate guns in any attempt to keep them out of the hands of criminals even though the recent spat of mass shootings has been by legal gun owners, not criminals. And as long as you have a bunch of redneck criminal types willing to steal guns from an armory, and sell them to the cartels, or gangs, more laws will be passed, and they will do no good just as the ones we have now will not. Criminals could care less about laws as is the case with the legal owner who becomes impassioned about whatever. As long as the people accept liars like trump as their idols, and ignore truth, common sense, and a caring for others, there will be no change. More people will die, and more children will be left without a parent, or dead. And nothing you do, or say, as well as what I say/do, will change a damn thing.

    And that includes whether you have your gun, or not. I could not care less.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

    Do I go along with it because of society? No, not really. I fight in every legal way possible, but at some point, so many people would prefer security theater to freedom, so I have to keep quiet and make my own.

    It's well known throughout history that the masses will deprive anyone of rights if it makes them feel safer......Americans are apparently no different despite the experience and gift of the founders over 200 years ago.

    Most people don't give a damn about the constitution any more........so for all practical purposes, it is dead and we are rules by a tyranny of the elite.

    of course not, because actual freedom terrifies you. you prefer subjugation disguised as security theater. not many people understand real freedom, even what YOU think is real freedom, really isn't.

    and you're cowardly enough to believe that my simple carrying of a handgun or a rifle directly impacts you????

    he's no Libertarian. He's a flip flopper with both left and right leanings. Neither he, nor liberals or conservatives, have anything in common with what the founding fathers believed at the time of ratification.

    no. I do not. I carry a gun without paying for a permission slip. I drive my vehicles without paying for a permission slip. If I could figure out a way to own my home without paying property taxes, I would do it in a heartbeat. If I could find an employer who would pay me as well as my current job, under the table with no taxes, I would do it.
