Law-abiding gun owners have more than 600 million firearms and roughly
25 trillion rounds of ammo. If they had a problem you'd know it.

Did you mean 25 billion rounds of ammunition? 25 trillion would be almost 42,000 rounds per weapon.

You can still find them and they are still manufactured. Absolutely fantastic gun. Mechanically very similar to an AR just like this...



Which looks completely harmless... unless you were a Nazi circa 1944.

More on the "common-sense adjustments" to gun control laws the left would like to see.

Quote:
In an appearance on NBC’s Sunday Today early that morning, moderator Chuck Todd lambasted Republicans for being the reason gun control efforts were making no progress since they were in control of the House, Senate, and the Presidency. Todd ratcheted up his anti-gun stance during Meet the Press by promoting radical calls to abolish the right to bear arms by repealing the Second Amendment. And he did it by highlighting the writings of Bret Stephens, a never-Trumper turned liberal.

Isn’t the difficulty here legislatively, the Constitution,” Todd lamented to his largely liberal panel. “Which is Bret Stephens' point in The New York Times, he’s calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment.

Just so you know, all Todd did was acknowledge the obvious in his panel's discussion that the 2A stands in the way of any gun control legislation, and then immediately stated the equally obvious that the 2A isn't going anywhere.. which naturally isn't mentioned in your wing nut link.

You can read the transcript here:

Todd acknowledged that some on the left want to abolish the 2nd Amendment, and that some on the left recognize it is not a realistic goal. He doesn't deny that many on the left, perhaps including himself, would dearly love to see it gone.

This is just a temporary "placating gesture" by the left...need to keep that false sense of security in place for the "easily agitated rednecks."

since repealing the 2nd is the furthest thing from an option they might as well spend their time on better options. silly liberals.

I'd love for you to find me anyone on the left who sees repealing the 2A as "realistic". I really don't care who would (theoretically) love to see it gone, that's about as legislatively relevant as what toppings they like on their pizza.

There is already one cited a few posts above: Bret Stephens and the NY Times. From the NYT article:

Quote:
There is only one way to do this: Repeal the Second Amendment.

Repealing the Amendment may seem like political Mission Impossible today, but in the era of same-sex marriage it’s worth recalling that most great causes begin as improbable ones.
