I support reasonable regulations, but I'm getting fatalistic about it. Like say background checks. For many, many people who've committed gun violence, a background check wouldn't have turned up anything that would have prevented them from buying a gun.

Or waiting periods. The idea is a fine one, that you don't want it to be easy for someone prone to violent anger to obtain a gun when in the depths of that anger. But then after the waiting period, the person who is prone to violent anger has a gun in his possession for the next time, right? Did the waiting period just delay things?

So you're saying that you would stop supporting something you would otherwise support because some people on the other side, who have no traction on their side, talk about the issue in a way you don't like?

You said reform *can't* come at the same time that some reformers express opinions you don't like. That's what *you* said.

That's what the second amendment says? Let's see here...

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the protection of a free state from tyrants like Obama, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Wow, you're right!

Its not exactly that wording. But it's basically the same.

Nope, I checked it and that's the exact wording. I'd been so wrong!
