So let me ask, how many events over the last few years have gone our way and how many have gone theirs?
Or since 1934 when it started with the NFA, then 68, then 86, and so on. But nothing comes to mind on the Federal level other than the expiration of the “assault weapon” ban which was just what the law established when passed.
A few CC victories in some states, but overall more restrictions on purchases and types of firearms and magazines allowed, the kind that are aimed at eventually making the 2nd meaningless for the average American even if it is technically still in place.
Are you more free in your firearms rights now than when you became an adult, or less free?
You must be young, when I was a 12 year old kid I could walk into the local hardware store and buy ammunition for my .22 or 20 gauge shotgun, or buy a gun for that matter if I had the money, or buy a 20mm cannon out of a comic book ad. I could also carry it to school to go target practicing on the school rifle range or go rabbit hunting after school.
No background check or registration required, no age restrictions preventing it (just my parents for some things, they never liked that 20mm idea).
That is my standard for freedom and any gain or loss it has, today I can’t even legally buy a gun of any kind without a background check to prove I’m worthy of it. Maybe if you’re in D.C. Heller gave you more freedom to buy, possess, and carry a firearm, but it didn’t make any difference where I live.

This could blow up in their commie faces if parents realize their kids are being turned into Communist Youth Pioneers. The leftist public school indoctrination system should be sued to become Democratic and Diversify to School Choice to provide a quality real academic education for everyone.
Greetings,
The problem is worse than that. 8 out of 10 literate adults have not read a book in more than 5 years. If we were to look at the entire population of literate adults and look at their reading comprehension then we’d discover that the typical literate adult in the Unites States reads, writes & comprehends at about a 3rd grade level. Now, we think in words so someone with only the words of a 9 year old can ONLY think like a nine year old. That is the problem.
You can not have any kind of discussion of any meaning with such simple people – it isn’t possible.
If you want to write effectively for the general public to understand, you have to run your posts or writings through a Flesch–Kincaid analysis and aim your writing at about an 8th or lower level to be understood by most of them.
To give an example, this simple post was given an 13.65 grade level by my analyzer making it very difficult or almost impossible for the average person to read and understand.
Fortunately, few posters here will have any difficulty.
Marxist indoctrination has been a feature of public edumacayshun in the USSA for at least three decades running. The NEA is essentially a division of the Democrat (e.g. Communist) party. The only way for kids not to be indoctrinated is to remove them from government schuls. Relatively few parents are willing to make this sacrifice – and ironically most of those who do are Judeo-Christians who worship the Judeo-Christ and celebrate diversity by making money from importing Somalian Musloids into Mid-western small towns. I dimly remember Ronald Reagan making promises to abolish the Dept. of Edumacayshun. Reagan’s long gone and the Dept. of Edumacayshun is still here, fatter than ever with lots of new Porkulus funding and its own militarized police-army.

Young Mr. Hogg is like any 17 year old boy . Highly opinionated poorly educated with a brain full of liberal mush exacerbated by the common core socialist supports of the teaching profession . In short he is full of adolescent nonesense and bull shit supported by his peer group with the same lack of life experience and education.
The crime in his case is the platform the MSM gave these young people . I wonder what other inalienable right these young people wish us to surrender ?
When I was a child , I spoke as a child ! Thank God the adults in the room were there to either correct me or use the good book up side the head !
It’s easy to make cartoon jokes about it, but their side is winning and ours is losing.
“Ours” being the side that believes and supports the second amendment.
So why is it that way, and what can our side do to turn it around?
I see no evidence that they’re winning. Rosie O’Donnell had her Million Mom March years ago. What did it get her?

Freer now after Heller. The media is bullshitting about the popularity of gun control – even exaggerating the number of attendees at their AstroTurf event https://www.cbsnews.com/news/march-for-our-lives-crowd-size-estimated-200000-people-attended-d-c-march/
Anthony Kennedy is about to retire and the run-up to replacing him will help Republican senate candidates.

Most of their parents are probably of a communist nature themselves, or have no control over their children anyway if they aren’t.
