So if Trump decides to confiscate our guns, that would make him a liberal? Originally Posted by MT PocketsNo. As an agenda it is primarily the Liberal elements of our society (country) who oppose gun possession and are regularly attempting to narrow the types of firearms citizens may possess.
To facilitate their agenda they distort the source, scope, and/or meaning of the 2nd Amendment, as well as attempt to tag every incident in which a firearm becomes involved as an example of why there should be no guns in this country except .... THEIRS!
Trying to define their "point of view" is a challenge:
One day it's those guns are not for hunting. Another it's weapons for a militia ONLY. Then (a new one on me!) NOW it seems like well you would NOT stand a chance with that thing against the U.S. military so there's no point in having them.
At the other end of the spectrum I'm not a fan of the standardized CHL programs around the country, because the training and continuing training is insufficient and inadequate for the average person to be injecting themselves in what amount of law enforcement activities. Self-defense is one thing, but defense of others is another, particularly in crowded, confined environments that have the potential of being low-light, if not dark with multiple shooters carrying heavier weapons.
And finally in a feeble attempt to overcome the lack of training and/or skill sets ... "bio-tech" devices are recommended for the firearms that should NOT be there in the first place ... rather than employing "bio-tech" devices to efficiently allow entrance into the buildings and/or premises ... with armed guards monitoring the entrance location like we experience ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY and ALL OVER THIS WORLD .. using video and audio monitoring AS BACKUP.
I keep remembering some of the comments in the Texas Senate on the final day of their debate when passing the original CHL statute in Texas. I was standing there with a couple of DA's (THE DA's .. not assistants) and it was difficult for us to keep straight faces.
I'm also reminded of the Austin, Texas, "clean water" Liberals who relocated large water rats to their water supply to eat the water weed congesting the power facility at the dam with the resulting infestation of water rats the size of beavers overtaking the lake and the properties surrounding it. When "we" explore fixes ... look down the road!
