Reply #105: What possible difference would it make?

[NewMoonTherian]

Look at the posts above in this thread. Not a single anti-gun advocate has been willing to offer the smallest concession, and the political environment is not remotely in your favor. Why would you be willing to compromise if you ever had the upper hand?

Look; the anti-gun side has bargaining chips. There is no shortage of odious gun laws that have no public safety benefit, and gun owners would love to see them eliminated. If they were put on the table for repeal, there's no telling what you might get in return. Maybe even the ludicrous magazine capacity limit that's so popular these days. Though, to be honest, you'd be better off proposing legislation that hasn't already been proven useless. And you could have them, essentially, for free! Just give up a few restrictions that don't save anyone's life.

Also, I have to take issue with your depiction. I, personally, have done my utmost to be honest. I assume you're referring to the gun rights absolutists(I really do enjoy that phrase) in general, but I haven't seen much dishonesty coming from either side in this debate. I wouldn't accuse the anti's of dishonesty. Just mass misconceptions and substituting emotion for fact.
