What are you willing to accept?

[AlexanderA]

A "compromise" means that both sides must give something up. What are the antigunners willing to give up? Nothing. Their ruling philosophy is "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable." Their endless salami tactics must be brought to a stop.

If they're willing to give something up, say, repeal of the NFA '34, we should be willing to listen.

The term Assault Rifle
Is Obama going to attempt to use Fiendsteins description of Assault rifle which covers 100's of guns--forcing us to pay to keep our guns & giving them to the government when we die--a true NAZI program

Of course!

My compromise :
Federal Goverment repeals all firearm laws, back to, and including, NFA 34.
All national politicians who either wrote, sponsored, or voted for, any of those laws, will be given free passage to the nation of thier choice, and forbidden to EVER return, instead of being hung for treason.
HOW'S THAT FOR COMPROMISE ?

Wow.

What's with all these "Let's rollover and appease the anti-gun mob" threads?

We are told by certain THR members here that "we need to roll-over and compromise" before we lose a part of our rights before such a thing has even occurred.

If you are a gun-owner yet feel the need to surrender your Second Amendment rights before anything happens, please do those of us who don't wish to surrender a favor and don't offer up the rest of us as part of your "plan" to save us from ourselves.

That's not compromise. It's surrender.

Good point.

I'm going to close this one and quote the wise and venerable Justin in closing:

Can we pretty, pretty please with sugar and strawberries on top stop with all the damnable loser talk around here?

For crying out loud, the forces of anti-gun bigotry haven't even brought a bill to the floor for discussion yet, and some of you are busy rolling over and peeing on yourselves in an act of submission.

Perhaps, instead of wasting all of our time starting threads like this, you could go write/fax/email/show up in person at your elected representatives' offices and voice your disagreement with further laws restricting cosmetically scary guns or useless bans on magazines.

After all, there are plenty of threads here on THR that have given you the ammunition to win any of those debates and make your case clearly and rationally. For crying out loud, just yesterday I reduced one of Dianne Degette's aids to stammering like a brain-damaged idiot with information that is freely available on the web. It's really not that hard.

If you can't at least do that, then the gun culture doesn't need you. Go collect beanie babies or Pokemon instead.
