    It's all part of the grand Democratic plan to force Utopia down the throats of all Americans; especially the 70% who refuse to become Democrats. LOL

    Ban high capacity ammunition clips.

    It would be perfectly constitutional.

    Mass murder involving dozens of unwitting victims would be much harder to accomplish with a shotgun, traditional hunting rifle, or 357 magnum.

    High capacity ammunition clips are a military innovation intended for battlefield conditions. There is no legitimate need for a civilian to be locked and loaded with that much ammunition.

    The constitution cannot be amended when America is polarized. It takes consensus to amend the constitution.

    Why waste your time thinking about changing the firearms situation?

    Just learn to live in the American shooting gallery. You have no fucking choice.

    I am disinclined to acquiesce to your stupid assed request.
    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.

    Don't forget eating fatty foods. The #1 Killer in America is Heart Disease followed by Cancer. Having the Food Police monitor everyone's life style would save millions of lives.

    Being violently shot isn't even in the Top Ten causes of death by the CDC. It appears the idiots who believed "Masks don't work" and "vaxxes are poison" took a huuuuge hit this year:

    https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lea...s-of-death.htm

    Number of deaths for leading causes of death
    • Heart disease: 696,962
    • Cancer: 602,350
    • COVID-19: 350,831
    • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 200,955
    • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 160,264
    • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 152,657
    • Alzheimer’s disease: 134,242
    • Diabetes: 102,188
    • Influenza and pneumonia: 53,544
    • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 52,547

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Support better mental health care. Judging by your posts, you could use some group theory for whiny geezers.

    For anyone who gives a shit about the children, provide them a better future. Teaching them they are not trusted enough to make their own decisions is not the best way to go, IMO.

    Rights do not come from the dead or from a piece of paper.
    The right of self defense is inherent. The Constitution specifically prohibits government from messing with this right.

    What is a "traditional" hunting rifle?

    Do you know the Winchester Model 70 and the Remmington Model 700, both considered very popular hunting rifles, were the sniper rifles in Nam?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
