TheGreatGenocet 03/24/18 12:02:15 PM #1:	Conservatives love for rile up their base by saying "the left is gonna take your guns" but the reality is there's no way the second amendment is ever going to be repealed. Even if Democrats got supermajorities in the house and Senate and every last one of them wanted the second amendment repealed, there's no way they'd get 38 states to agree to that (which is what is needed to amend the constitution). If only the terrified gullible(not saying they're all this gullible but a lot are) people on the right understood this, then republican leadership would have to find another issue to scare their base in to voting for them --- Alt of Genocet_10-325 Conservatism is a plague on society. <cite>TheGreatGenocet posted [p:898404711] in Why is gun...

booboy 03/24/18 10:54:59 PM #4:	It's a rightly charged issue for many reasons, has plenty of avenues of attack and defense on both sides, and just has that perfect mix of "easy hot button," like abortion. From a campaigning perspective, it's just another avenue to attack and defend on. Nothing more, nothing less. --- There is no problem that can't be solved by applying more yuri to it.

Dash_Harber 03/24/18 11:29:33 PM #11:	Very few people actually want all guns banned everywhere.
