Gun-rights people seem to have an attitude that every proposal from the other side has to be opposed rigidly, and that there can never be any negotiation with people that are so evil, ignorant, etc., etc. It's hard to see how we make progress on our agenda this way.
Correct. This is why it was pointed out earlier that if you buy a gun at a show, whether from a dealer or a private party, you do not sell it later that day at the show even if someone offers you a screaming deal. 99% chance it's a setup.There is no HARD number

And you can't shoot anywhere, anytime-simply bearing arms is a whole 'nother thang.But the First Admendment is essentially negotiated. You cant say anything anytime anywhere. There are some limits on it.
Yes, that's true. But those restrictions are absolutely minimal. First Amendment restrictions are subject to strict scrutiny. Banning all private sales would never survive such scrutiny.But the First Admendmentis essentially negotiated.Youcantsay anything anytime anywhere. There are some limits on it.
You said two very good reasons in your post why there should be no compromise with the anti gun agenda, ignorance and evil. Let me paint a picture for you of the two most prominent types of anti gun activists:Sure, that's what the antigunners would like. There's not a chance in the world that they would get it.
Legislation is a process of negotiation. The "maximum demands" of each side are just the opening gambit. The idea is that each side gets something that it wants, when they meet somewhere in the middle. Or, there's no agreement at all, and nothing happens.
Surely there are things that the pro-gun side would want, beyond the status quo. How about mandatory nationwide concealed-carry reciprocity? How about repeal of the Hughes amendment, if not the entire NFA? Put these things out there, and let's bargain in earnest!

What a coincidence! Suddenly a terrorist, a young American at that(Nothing more than a scam to get people to fear even more things that don't exist), releases a video where he basically reads a Brady campaign pamphlet. This is all an act, an elaborate ruse.
So it was fake? Meaning what?I just flat out don't think the "videotaped message" was real.
How would you like it if the tools of your 1st Amendment rights were regulated as some seem to think is OK with arms?
Want to buy a pen and pad (tools of free speech)-well, you'll have to wait X number of days, fill out this form, pay this fee, yadda yadda yadda.
Most folks would see those as oppressive restrictions on the 1st, but for some reason don't see it as oppressive/controlling regarding the 2nd.
A hammer is not protected by 2A... a knife isnt either.
The FACT is, a gun IS different.
Our forefathers specifically signaled them out.
Arms being weaponry in general, I would go so far as to say military weaponry. look up the word arms in any dictionary it's a pretty broad definition. for example: "arms: Weapons and ammunition; armaments: "they were subjugated by force of arms""
