Got to chuckle at the inherent contradiction found in this statement. It is simultaneously wrong for the left to fear the possibility of a tyrannical Trump presidency yet right for gun owners to fear the possibility of tyrannical govt.

Because no organ of the US government or its member states has committed senseless violence against citizens. Chuckles indeed.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

The gun control loophole has been shown not to be a problem. Demonstrate there's a problem and I'd consider closing it.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Darkside provided his input as a gun enthusiast. Agree or disagree his ideas seems more productive to spurring a discussion than Ogie. Ogie seems to be terrified any suggestion for change means he may no longer be able to raise a militia and and shoot the Government™.

It's fine for the left to fear a tyrannical Trump, and yes he does show authoritarian tendencies. It's just that you shouldn't follow such logic with also asking to disarm the populace.

Thanks for debunking Ogie's mythological belief that people just have to have guns because without them Govt would run roughshot over them.

Cool story, bro.

I'll ask one more time, What kind of background checks are being done right now at gun shows?

You are arguing that people have no right to fear Trump yet have a right to fear Govt. If not Trump then who? If not now when?

Did you not read literally the first line of the post you quoted?

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

In any case, if and when the U.S. government turns to dictatorship it won't be in the face of a built in #Resistance to the potential dictator. It will be a person who has widespread support and huge popularity.

I take issue with that. Sure, Trump spouts off like a dictator at times, but from a practical standpoint his policies thus far have actually removed/eliminated government interference/regulation. It's hard to see how that is tyrannical. In any case, if and when the U.S. government turns to dictatorship it won't be in the face of a built in #Resistance to the potential dictator.

Have you or anyone else addressed the fact that we have lots of laws on the books but they aren't enforced properly (or if they are, they don't stop mass murders)? What good would it do to make more laws?

Hitler didn't have widespread support.

We do have gun control in this country. It's called background checks. Don't blame gun owners when the government is too incompetent to properly perform them.

Heck, if that asshole sheriff in Broward County did his job on any of his 25-30 calls to the residence his dept received, they could have charged Cruz thus ensuring he would have been prevented from purchasing a firearm. By not doing jack shit about him, they ensured he would pass any background check as he had no record.

Charged with what? Would any of the alleged charges prevented him from obtaining a gun in Florida?

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I'm pretty sure he did.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

You're misunderstanding his point. It isn't to say that Trump may not be worthy of fear. Its the fact that if you truly fear your government is slipping to facism...why would you also be in favor of giving away your guns??

The current laws are ineffectual. Give some solutions that would be. As Ogie has pointed out automatic weapons aren't good at mass killings so let's have some more effective solutions.

Yeah, that's an awfully bad take by Hank.

You believe there is nothing that can be done to help possibly prevent people from walking into a school and slaughtering MANY children?

Terrible thought.
