“I’ve always taken the “stand” of never negotiating away anything when it comes to our “gun rights.” Bump Stocks are not the issue and never will be.
“The plain truth is Gun Haters (mostly DemoRats) say they want to “control guns,” but the truth is you can never “control” guns, you can only control people. That is what Gun Haters have always wanted; control people by disarming them.
Make no mistake, the Gun Haters goal has been total civilian disarmament, including most of the police. Every “common sense” Gun Hating measure is merely one small step toward total civilian disarmament; always has been. The Gun Haters goal has never changed, only their lying rhetoric shifts with whatever is the current circumstances. Look back at the early statements made by the Gun Haters themselves; they say that total disarmament is their goal.
Therefore, we should stand our ground and never negotiate with the Gun Haters; as we have no common ground. Besides, we seem to never recover any ground lost to the Gun Haters.
So, stop giving into them, as the Gun Haters are never satisfied. Gun Hating really is an irrational compulsive mental disorder and we should view it as such.
You don’t negotiate with a mental defective, you need to control their behavior, not propitiate it.”
