harm: as i recall, obummer tried to pull off something like that, but it/he got shot down...

Yes Paul, the Obama administration took away the firearms ownership rights of senior citizens who gave power-of-attorney for children, etc. to handle their financial matters. The rules were finalized just before Christmas 2016. And they also wanted to strip away the rights of ex-soldiers who were diagnosed with PTSD after serving combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But we don't see either of those groups involved in mass shootings. Meanwhile, Liberal democrats do not wish to profile Muslim extremists or do anything about anti-depressant medications with deadly suicidal/homicidal side effects, and they don't wish to take the most common-sense measures to stem the flow of illegal narcotics and criminal illegal alien gangbangers into the U.S. from Mexico.

keet: are you now suggesting that those being treated with anti-depressant medication be denied their second amendment rights?

and what are the common-sense measures to stem the flow of illegal narcotics and criminal illegal alien gangbangers into the U.S. from Mexico that liberals oppose?

even the NRA can see the need to regulate bump stock devices

nra, aka npa may have seen the writing on the wall...

Where did you ever see me say such a thing Ed? I am saying that these drugs cause obvious and deadly side effects, and it may be time to remove them from the marketplace. We sure don't seem to be any better off with them as compared to the time before they were introduced and over-prescribed in the late 1980's.

But I can understand how a mental defective such as you could easily misinterpret what I post here. I repeated the common sense measure of a border wall to stem the flow of illegal narcotics and dangerous illegal alien gangbangers several times. Just how thick is your skull Ed? If there is anyone in this country that is too mentally deficient to own guns, it is you Ed. Now how about answering my other questions about the non-gun methods used by mass murderers, and how giving up our gun rights would stop them?

I was a NRA member in 1968 & I think the NRA prevented the the GCA 1968 from being worse than it was & to their credit they worked hard for years to get some of the more onerous provisions of the GCA of 1968 overturned.

A repeat of the 1968 GCA or something worse is what I'm concerned about. Most time you have to give something to get something & I don't think we would be giving up much by putting "bump stocks" & similar devices & magazines with capacity close to those of belt fed weapons under NFA rules in exchange for National concealed carry reciprocity, removing sound suppressors from NFA status & gaining a little credibility with the non shooting voters.

National concealed carry reciprocity is going to be a tough one but you have to start somewhere.

Also, you are "preaching to the choir" on the drug issue (legal & otherwise). That & prohibition are good examples of why making things illegal doesn't solve the problem but you also have to remember that to many people "perception is reality" so sometimes you have to give up some things that don't really matter to keep them happy & get the important things done.

well keet...there you go again...

Crunch the numbers ed. More people more problems, nothing a little planned parenthood couldn't fix, eh? My proactive solution would be a minimum, skin in the game, income tax that fluctuates based on unforeseen circumstances. Maybe then, neighbors and communities would get back in the business of cleaning up their own garbage, because they don't want to pay for terrible results and lip service.

Thanks for the reply and link earlier.
