38 state legislatures have to vote for an amendment. Fully 20 states, minimum, are crazy to the core. Ain’t happening.

Just like that Atlanta guy was a sex addict that shot up the massage parlors to eliminate the temptation, this guy was a compulsive eater that that shot the grocery store to eliminate the temptation.

This could be the answer you’re looking for.

But you should apologize for doing nothing more.

Inactivity. The hallmark of the GQP. History will not be kind.

While gun bans are going nowhere, it’s not unreasonable to make people go get training and pass a licensing test, or have been in the military or LEO and thus passed more stringent tests, to own them, just like we do with car licenses.

Would weed out a lot of these nuts who never would get through it in the first place.

The language of the 2nd Amendment was sufficient to allow regulation until Justice Scalia changed it by striking the “well regulated militia” clause. Five Supreme Court justices amended the Constitution without having to bother with all that 2/3 of Congress, 3/4 of the states bureaucratic red tape.

Guy is from Arvada which straddles both Jefferson and Adams Counties.
Maybe he went to Boulder County because the jail has an organic menu option?

And now that Amy Covid is on there, they’re even more concerned about passing anything which might give the Supremes a chance to dismantle many of the current laws in place.

Fuck Senator Gassley. He may cherish his guns over the lives of all the innocent people who have been killed over the years by his gun loving fellow citizens. I don’t love guns more than the people murdered by them. I’m not a coward like he and all the gun fetishists who worship them. I’ve lived in Colorado for more than 50 years. I shopped at that King Soopers many times. My daughter went to high school a few blocks away. She reminded me that she and her friends would buy their lunches and sit outside there most days. I don’t care what the shooter’s background and rationale or excuses are. Ditto for all the other murderers out there. The real murderers are the people who make it so easy for the filth of our country to go out and buy the weaponry that makes all these mass shootings so easy. That would be you and the rest of the NRA cult, Senator.

Most Americans have been backing stricter gun policies for some time now.* The problem is that this is most likely not true of a majority of the Republican primary voters. And hence not true for elected Republican officials.

I agree with Scallia, but we have to be originalists, the founding fathers were thinking in muzzle-loading, rifles and muskets, they were not thinking on Glocks and AKMs . So lets limit gun ownership to firearms that existed when the 2nd amendments was passed. And I tell you, firing muzzle loaders is a lot of fun, really knocks those beer cans off the fence, , and way cheaper too .

Gun control is an impediment to defending ourselves from kidnapping and internment by jack-booted thugs of the federal government.

Of course, except that it really isn’t. Being white seems to work for that, though.

A late friend, at one point a South Carolina muzzleloader champion of some sort, when asked why he was into them: “Loud noise, big smoke…”
