"Shall not be infringed"
COD, August 15, 2018: NRA should back ban on plastic guns | YOUR OPINION | richmond.com:
NRA should back ban on plastic guns Editor, Times-Dispatch: The National Rifle Association has a wonderful opportunity to win the hearts and minds of those of us who are in the “center” of the gun control debate. By the center, I’m talking about the majority of people who support individual gun ownership rights but also see a need for more controls on certain types of weapons.
In the first place, the concept that the NRA should "back the plan" on ANY kind of firearms infringement is abhorrent to firearms owners ... who rely on the NRA to support the ideal of the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment was designed to protect the rights of Americans from those who do not agree with the concept of freedom of Americans. You are an obnoxious herb-eather who has no respect for the basic rights which we all enjoy. You prefer to lower us to your level.
Which is not only obnoxious and demeaning, but also (when you suggest we should yield our rights to POLITICIANS) ... disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And if you think that Firearms Owners should give up their "certain types of weapons" to please Democrats who (having nothing to lose) consider themselves the arbiters of the "center of gun control", you have no clear understanding of people who will not change their life style ... nor yield their Constitutional Rights .... to please you and your friends at the Richmond.Com editorial pages..
IN The Second Place: I suspect the NRA isn't looking for a "Wonderful Opportunity" to find a "common ground" with people who think that firearms should be regulated. That's the whole idea of the Second Amendment. We don't have to agree with you; you don't have to agree with us.
Centrist" means "anti-constitutional", to us. So don't be going there ... you're not proposing a viable argument to obviate the Constitution.
If we give up our rights, what are YOU willing to give up?
The right to write editorials to a local newspaper? (Well, it's tempting just to keep your abhorrent policy notions out of the newspapers, but our rights are more important to us than your ignorant and unformed opinions.)
What MUST happen is that you recognize "Constitutional Rights".
(Being liberals, you don't like that .. which brings great joy to me and to my friends .)
And in the Third Place, the NRA (and firearms owners) have no desire, nor need, to find a "common ground" with those who would abrogate our Constitutional rights. When the Gun Grabbers get a toe-hold on the Constitution, our rights are undermined; we will not abide with these "Common Grounds" issues, because they want to make us servants of The State. In case you are not aware, the Constitution was not published to "give us rights"; it was propounded to limit the powers of The State.
Anyone who suggests that there should be a "common ground" between our rights, and infringement on those rights, has NO "Common Grounds" on which we can agree. Either we have the rights guaranteed by the Constitution, or we do not.
Anyone who suggests we should attempt to "win the hearts and minds" of our enemies, is our enemy. They do not wish to support our rights. Their goal is to turn Second Amendment Supporters into Second Class Citizens, because we do not agree with their pusillanimous postulations that we have no RIGHTS except for those which they so gratitutionalously agree to.
Check your Constitution; we don't owe you anything.
ONE LAST THOUGHT:
I think that you and your kind are critical of us because we think we know better than our elected officials how we should live our lives. I may be right, or wrong; but that's the impression which you provide us. You forget that we elect our representatives to represent us and defend our rights; that's the FIRST duty of an elected Representative.
We may have elected those "officials" but if and when they cease to hold it as their sacred duty to protect our RIGHTS as defined in the Constitution ... we will kick their lying ass out and bring someone in to replace them. And don't think it hasn't been done before.
Americans have died to protect our rights, and no pusillanimous popinjay is going to sweet-talk us into disrespecting their sacrifice.

They said the same thing about Glocks when they first came to the U.S. I can remember the hysterics from the left about the so-called invisible pistol.
