Making a ban inclusive of persons under "reasonable suspicion" of "foreign" terror ties, and establishing strict guidelines for how the FBI would determine who fits in that category, is a more nuanced and effective way to limit the access such people have to heavy weaponry.
"heavy weaponry?????" Semi-fire rifles in the .223 caliber range is 'heavy weaponry' in your estimation?
Did you go to the Washington Post School of gun and weapons identification???
What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED do you TRUMP people not understand???????????
I expect a lecture on justified 'reasonable restrictions' coming from the likes of you. I mean, your Prince has already suggested various infringements on the 1st Amendment which has been been a lightning rod for Apologetics for such actions by you Trump Faithful, so infringing on the Second to 'keep us safe' is just another in the list of Rights you all seem to have no problem knocking down.
limiting access to weapons for people suspected of terror ties...a point that is not wrong but is so vague as to create valid concern that such an approach could be abused and become tyrannical.
Duh! It is a point that is VERY WRONG considering the Federal Beast has written policies that FORBID the Alphabets to profile middle Eastern Muslims, so abuse is an ingredient already baked into their cake.
As time goes by, his approach will refine itself into something like I've asserted above…
And how do you know this? Are you clairvoyant? Did he discuss this with you over tea? How do you know his approach "will refine itself into something you asserted above"??????
His statements would lend itself to the exact opposite of what you assert.
So while I understand all of the concerns on this topic, they are unwarranted.
Bullpuckey! Any time there is a discussion of arms by politicians, candidates or agencies of the government - MAJOR CONCERN IS WARRANTED and assuming the worst is the best preventative of further infringements on that which is not supposed to be infringed at all.
Even if Mr Trump wanted to put in place such a broad restriction, it would fail to survive even the more liberal courts in the nation.
Like the 6th Circuit just last week????
He will out of necessity have to narrow the scope and focus of his restrictions....
So we will put you down as one who agrees that the 2nd Amendment can be regulated into irrelevance and the right of the people to keep and bear can be infringed.
Gotcha.
One more reason not to support Trump.
We want to support someone who believes in scrapping the entire system of gun regulations, fully restore the intents of the 2nd Amendment and let the American people defend themselves because it is obvious that we are on our own and cannot rely on the government or it's agents to keep us safe.
Trump is not that person.
