Another Day-Another child falls thanks to gun nuts selfish refusal to compromise.

Damocles said:
There is nothing about "joining" a militia. A basic translation into today's English of the 2nd Amendment would sound something like this:

Because we may find it necessary to call up and train a militia of citizens, the citizens' right to own and bear arms shall not be compromised.

Actually ignoring that they had recently fought a war against their own government which had turned to tyranny seems to be a regular infantile fantasy of the "left"... The idea that you should want to ban guns because you chose a blue jersey over red is just idiocy. Stop falling for everything people say and start thinking. That goes double for my side, stop promoting nonsense because it is a platform plank...

Nobody believes in every plank of a platform, that somebody who swore to uphold the constitution would promote this inane "only if you are in a militia" crap is beyond me. Your oath did not have an expiration date.

I certainly do not believe that the only folks who should be allowed to own guns need belong to a well regulated militia. I also firmly believe in reasonable restrictions as to what sort and size of arms should be allowed in the hands of citizens, and I also firmly believe in restrictions as to what sorts of people ought and ought not have the ability to own those arms. If you believe in those latter two points, then some form of political compromise can be found. When one side categorically stands on the wording of the 2nd amendment, they only leave me a limited avenue for discussion, and, outside of JPP, in the real world, the NRA, which appears to me to be more interested in protecting the profits of gun manufacturers than the rights of gun owners, has categorically refused to join in the search for a politically sellable compromise. Fuck the NRA.
