I Truly Think I've Found the Answer

Great idea!

I would think that it would be against the constitutional law for anyone that has a clean record for the government to come in and take what is rightfully yours away from you. When you have done nothing wrong. We the people of the US have the right to protect our families and property. Ask Thomas Jefferson. 2A

I had a similar thought, but focusing on the similarity with voting rights. Since we are told there is no voter fraud and our elections system is secure, I should be able to use my voter registration card (which is a government issued ID) to buy guns. Or for those states that charge additional fees and taxes for gun ownership, similar fees and taxes should be levied to registered voters. Remember that issue about not being able to charge a fee to exercise a constitutional right? Should work both ways. As far as the background checks and buybacks go, my favorite response was a guy who said he was going to sell his guns to the government, but the background check said the prospective buyer was incompetent and had a long history of domestic violence…

I have talked to many local leos . Their opinion is that they can pass a law that they are allowed to take our guns but they can’t force local leos to actually do it . These are people we know , are related to and grew up with .

What a group did here in Maryland, they showed up at a buy back event, with an FFL holder. They proceed to buy the gund back at a better price then the buy back.

You make a good point about how many politicians wouldn’t pass a federal background check to buy a gun but your premise is so severely faulty that your point is moot because you keep saying the government this and the government that but the problem is not the government. The government is not trying to take our guns and has never made any such effort. Only Democrats are doing that. Democrats hate everything about the US that makes us great. They are not and don’t call themselves patriots. They promote socialism and communism which the US government officially opposes. They hate individual liberty and self-determination which our government officially recognizes and has written into our laws. Democrats have separated themselves from everything American. There is nothing American about Democrats. Stop blaming “the government.”

What about background checks for top secret clearance? We have plenty of elected officials who would fail miserably, vs the same standards for civilians, yet they have access to it nonetheless and leak it treasonously with no repercussions to themselves. Yes, you’re pipe dreaming. The only way they’ll stop is if they get voted out of office for such actions AND lose their arranged cushy consultant / golden parachute gigs.

You’ve taken the definition I used of “government” and taken it too far. I’m obviously referring to those people who are trying to take our rights. Pretty sure that’s self-explanatory for everyone else here. I blame the government because it is the government. Just because you don’t like who’s in power doesn’t make them “not the government.”
As I said in my original discussion, the government is comprised of human beings, not amorphous indefinable auras.

Also, you’re wrong. Katrina, 2005; the government went door-to-door and confiscated. Look it up. It happened. Please read a little bit before you tell me the government as a whole has not tried to take our guns.

I blame the government because they are the government. You don’t get to choose who is part of it because our side may have lost the election (or had it stolen). What you decide to call them is irrelevant, everyone else knows exactly who I’m speaking about.

I love that. That is genius.

I agree with you, too. I was using the term “buyback” to encompass any and all forms of seizure. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. You’re 100% right.

I agree with you, you’re completely correct. And yes, ultimately it lands on our doorstep.

No you are wrong. The government didn t go door to door confiscating weapons. The parish sheriff s office did that. It was not a directive from a Cabinet Secretary or an Executive Order from the White House. It was not a strict adherence to long standing federal policy. It was a Democrat sheriff backed up by a Democrat prosecutor who had no regard for the Constitution or the law. LOOK IT UP.

You are also wrong about who is in government. We indeed choose who is part of our government. At least we did before this last election.

The only readers who agree with you are those who are equally ignorant.

Last time I checked, the Sheriff’s Office was a local government agency, as is the prosecutor’s office.

Democrats have already enshrined that in their sanctuary city declarations. The reason we allegedly can’t arrest and book illegal aliens is local law enforcement can’t be used to enforce federal law. That’s the fig leaf they’ve been operating under.

Great thoughts but Biden has already proclaimed that no amendment is absolute and on Wednesday he stated that he and the government were in fact “we the people”. West Virginia also just passed 'sanctuary status for citizens and their 2A.

You assumed I wouldn t notice your heavy dependence on semantics to force the square peg of your logic through the round hole of your failed thesis. LOL

Together we are so strong but individually we are roasted lamb for the feeding. Now how do we all unite as one!? Who do I call when they come to my door at 0300!??
