All the government has to do is to continue the death by a thousand cuts banning certain types of weapons, and to continue to make it more expensive and difficult to get permits and ammunition. You may have the guns, but taking them out to shoot or buying ammo will be impossible, effectively ending your ability to exercise your rights. Neighbors near my family farm already call the cops to complain when they hear shooting.

You let Hill or Obama get in office with a Dem Congress, and the lessons of 1992-1994 will be lost, along with the remainder of your Second Amendment rights.

Don't think the Dems do not have a ton of senseless feelgood legislation waiting to pass. Even President Bush said that he would sign the AWB if Congress passed it again. McCain probably would as well. You think Klinton would not?

England is lost. Nothing like allowing citizens to choose their own regressive, misogynistic 12th Century legal system.

Good news is, if it were in effect here, Hillary and Nancy would be wearing burkas, cooking, cleaning, pulling plows, getting the shit kicked out of them every night by their husbands, and loving it, because divorce would mean being kicked out in the street with nothing, to be stoned to death.
