Reply to comment by No-Professional-1884 in Shocking corruption: Federal agents capture Philadelphia Deputy Sheriff on video selling two of the guns used in deadly shooting after Roxborough High School football scrimmage by IdunnoabouttheseDems

I'm still right of the anti-gun left while being left of center. I haven't done the whole "if you go far enough left you get your guns back" yet.

Weird thing is, I’m a lot farther left than most of those people and I still believe in 2A.

While there is a massive gun violence issue in this country, we aren’t doing enough to mitigate that in meaningful ways yet to begin to consider amending/modifying 2A.

That was the point of my "if you go far enough left you get your guns back" comment. Communists, for example, are historically pro-gun - and they are certainly much further left than the self-proclaimed socialists and progressives that make up the modern Democrat party.

It seems like the closer you are to the center and the further you are from the center, the more pro-gun you are. And then there is that odd range between them (us? me and you?) that is somehow staunchly anti-gun while being bracketed by unapologetically pro-gun people.

I, personally, have no intention of ever giving up my guns - since that would require putting trust in the government to keep me safe. And let's be honest - government hasn't done much...ever...to instill a sense of trust into any sane person.
