I’m here because I believe in robust gun control and I’ll not be bullied out of the RKBA by zealots. The 2A has always had reasonable limits.
Your statement makes no sense. It’s contradictory. Believing in robust gun control is completely the opposite of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The Second Amendment HAS NO LIMITS! Read it...then read it again without your political blinders on. There are no limits within the Second Amendment except those imposed on the government by the Second Amendment, which the Federal, And many state and local governments violate the Second Amendment under the guise of “reasonable limits”.
The Liberal, I would recommend that you do some research on the Second Amendment and why the Founding Fathers felt that it was so important to put in the Bill of Rights and why it is second only to the First Amendment.
I am not talking about Wikipedia research or politically motivated modern writings from either side of the political spectrum, but the actual writings of James Madison and the other authors of our Constitution and why they wrote it as they did. I would highly recommend reading The Federalist Papers. The essays written by the Founding Fathers in regards to the formation of the Constitution.

I have seen a few of your posts regarding your desire to buy a 30-30 and your love of the .243 cartridge. I don’t believe you to be a troll, but it does seem to me that you may derive some enjoyment by spinning people up with your views.
The one thing that I have seen in this country and the world is that allowing the encroachment of government into one’s rights over time can lead to negative results and those that allow it to happen because it doesn’t directly affect them may learn some hard lessons later on.
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
