In light of the three mass shootings of the last few days and their tragic outcomes I am fearing a "perfect storm" of circumstances where the Second Amendment will come under attack like never before! And seeings the Second Amendment has been under never ending onslaught for the last 50+ years that I have seen - that is saying something! Your thoughts? Sad day - I think this perfect storm of "circumstances" happening now and leading up to the 2,020 elections forbodes danger for us pro-Second Amendment citizens. N.R.A. in disarray, three mass shootings in less than a week, mass media all dead set against Second Amendment Rights, 20 out of 20 demonrat Presidential candidates all devout anti-Second Amendment advocates - not much swingin my way it seems. Hoping for the best. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

It will be beat up some but if the country is to survive then the 2nd Amendment will survive. We must have faith in God.

The masses will forget about these shootings and go about their business. Give it a few weeks.

The Right to Bare Arms predates the Bill of Rights. It is a guarantee that government can not take that Right away, and that the Right EXISTS as a stated fact. Paul Revere's ride was the first US/local gun grab attempt, and it has never stopped. (And it likely never will).

It's been a progressively downward spiral since 1968, much is already lost.

We have the opportunity now to kick liberal ass back a couple decades, if we conservatives do our part.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

The 2A will survive but pressure will once again be brought against mag capacities and semi-auto rifles. Consider that only two of 20 Dems brought this up during two nights of debate. That will now change. The push-back against Trump's tweet rhetoric will escalate. Certainly, we realize there are nut cases out there on both sides. With the exception of bump-stocks, consider how many semi-autos are out there and how many millions of high capacity mags? To the extent that private party sales exist - ATF has stated that is not a "problem" when they analyze crime stats. We realize that semi-autos, magazines, UBC and red flag laws are the slippery slope.
I would expect Trump to come out with a statement or even have a national address to separate fact from fiction and address his communication style as it pertains to those who commit heinous crimes.

Hell, it's easier for a criminal to find what they want on the black market than from a dealer. How about making a law "you shall not kill"? Oh wait, that was already done thousands of years ago. How about posting those laws in schools?
Or just go on producing video games that teach how to mass kill, and teach in school that life does not have any value, starting from when the life is inside the mother.

The second amendment, along with the rest of the bill of rights, is a recognition by the founders that government, left unopposed, is a destroyer of freedom. The bill of rights was an attempt to curtail that destruction. But ultimately, the rights only are protected as long as people are willing to fight and die for them. All that is happening now is we are getting closer to the day when we'll see if there are enough people willing to fight.

"When injustice becomes law, then resistance becomes duty." - Thomas Jefferson As in the "battle of Athens ". The closest thing I can remember to a conservative riot.

The Second will survive but it will be a ugly bitter battle. Today is my eldest daughter's 29th birthday. She will be receiving another 9mm to add to her very modest number of firearms. I recently gave my youngest daughter and her husband a 30/30 and 3 pistols.
I don't expect them to be fanatical or addicted to firearms but i have tried to imbue a respect and a life or death equation as to the necessity of gun ownership. It's not a hobby it's a matter of survival. I always ask women when the subject of guns come up " If it's my body and my choice then why in the world would you call a complete stranger or a government official to protect the same." Try it sometimes.
I won't piss away my God given not government given right to self-defense and if i become a martyr for that right then so be it.
