The Threat is Real, very real.

That's fine, that's the stance you take and I respect that. That is democracy in action. My thoughts are tat you conveniently misquoting me. I'm not saying that 'No one really needs to have a gun'. I believe not only that we need guns but we should have them. I'm saying, 'No one really needs to have a bump-stock'. If you want Full-auto then go through the process of being vetted by the authorities, for all our safety.

Klem, your going down a dark scary road when you use the word "need". Almost any freedom or choice can be destroyed by the word "need". Do you need a 400 horsepower car, donuts, beer, 3 children instead of 2, nightclubs, concerts, coffee, etc, etc. The Second Amendment is about division of power not sport hunting, target shooting or games. If going through the process of being vetted for full auto ownership was to keep others safe then a one time vetting would be enough for other full auto purchases. That is not the case. Banning firearms violated the Second Amendment so they made it into a tax. Owning antiquated firearms is not what the 2nd Amend is about and banning this device or that gun is a violation of the intent of the 2nd Amend.. Today case law is trumping Constitutional intent. This is criminal but it is working because of a purposeful misdirection of the intent of the Second Amendment has been spewing out of our educational system and media for decades. Our First Amendment is now under attack by the term hate speech. Never compromise on freedom.
