    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.

    you have been given a woefully inadequate and incorrect view of the Constitution.

    The Founders disagreed with background checks? The did background checks back in the 18th Century?

    Let me ask you a question there “smart guy,” if you are such a strict reader of the Constitution, taking what is says verbatim, why can’t bullets be controlled, if not banned outright, bullets aren’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution?

    They are all weapons that are obtained or sold illegally- through LOOPHOLES IN THE SYSTEM!

    The Democrats are trying to close the loopholes and the Republicans are trying to create even more!

    Chicago is a democrat run city. Obviously what they are trying to do or have done is not working. Has nothing to do with Republicans.

    The Texas massacre of Fourth Graders yesterday marked the 213th mass shooting in the U.S. since the start of 2022. We had 27 school shootings and 213 mass shootings and it is not even June yet

    The answer is obvious, cause a vocal minority in this country have swallowed all the masqueraded propaganda put out by the gun manufactures and we are burdened with gutless politicians whose only interest is in getting reelected
    Because Republicans care more about selfies with their big guns than they do about the health and safety of American's children.
