from either side. Use of the free or cheap service would be voluntary..unless or until it passed into law at the state level..I would like to have the option of taking some guns to the gun show to sell to strangers if I knew I wasn't selling it to a prohibited buyer...What would change?

You clearly don't run in Libertarian circles. Callisto32 Nov 2012 #40

The problem is not disagreeing with the DNC SecularMotion Nov 2012 #4

You seem to be the one that brings up the DNC stance on guns Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #5

Here's the Republican platform SecularMotion Nov 2012 #7

Only thing I disagree with is the "God-given" part. LAGC Nov 2012 #8

Re: Our rights exist because of our man-made Constitution. Period. Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #14

Can't disagree, except for the religious overtones. Eleanors38 Nov 2012 #18

Not really, if we would adopt the same stance (on this issue) Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #11

ON THIS ISSUE I fully agree with the RNC and disagree with the Democratic platform. Atypical Liberal Nov 2012 #29

I think your view is a little authoritarian Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #45

I find that... discntnt_irny_srcsm Nov 2012 #44

I am not so concerned about "assault weapons" as I am gun show and private sale loopholes. geckosfeet Nov 2012 #9

The whole private sale issue pipoman Nov 2012 #48

"The whole private sale issue must be handled at the state level." geckosfeet Nov 2012 #51

According to the DoJ less than 2% of criminals get their guns from private sales of any kind NT Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #54

Ahhhh. So buy them at gun stores. geckosfeet Nov 2012 #55

I think the biggest percentage was friends/ family members Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #57

My point being that criminals rarely obtain guns through legal means. geckosfeet Nov 2012 #62

YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT fightthegoodfightnow Nov 2012 #69

Every marijuana sale in this country either goes through an MMJ clinic Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #71

Huh? fightthegoodfightnow Nov 2012 #73

The point is, private gun sales are legal, even though criminals are buying and selling. geckosfeet Nov 2012 #77

No one does. fightthegoodfightnow Nov 2012 #79

Right now glacierbay Nov 2012 #80

I would agree with that. Though it might be hard logisticlly and financially for many people geckosfeet Nov 2012 #89

I think it got lost between my brain and my fingers Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #90

Well, yes. But if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound. geckosfeet Nov 2012 #100

What do you suggest? NT Trunk Monkey Nov 2012 #102

Let me think about it.... geckosfeet Nov 2012 #103

How do you feel about pro-life Democrats? Or anti-union Democrats? DanTex Nov 2012 #10

I don't see anywhere near as much disagreement over women's rights or unions as there is with guns. LAGC Nov 2012 #13

That's because you are on the pro-gun side. DanTex Nov 2012 #16

what makes Ted Strickland or Brian Schweitzer centrist? gejohnston Nov 2012 #19

Schweitzer is a red state centrist. DanTex Nov 2012 #27

what makes them centrist? gejohnston Nov 2012 #32

Harry Reid and a host of other Democrats pipoman Nov 2012 #49

You either support all civil liberties or you are against them former-republican Nov 2012 #22

Except that guns have not much to do with civil liberties. DanTex Nov 2012 #24

I disagree whole heartedly on your view on civil liberties former-republican Nov 2012 #26

Liberal Democrats in many gun unfriendly areas of our nation support strong gun control ... spin Nov 2012 #39

However some apparently do not. And he yells a lot about it. oneshooter Nov 2012 #43
