I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not edicts from socialist!

Do a poll on any gun forum and you might be shocked. There are precious few actual 2A absolutists in the country.

There are even fewer who take their oath to defend the constitution against all domestic enemies as absolute.

Constitutional loyalists most likely will be turning in their arms round by round. With trillions of rounds in the magazines it’s gonna take awhile before the arms are empty and can be safely surrendered.

Probably run out of targets before running out of ammo!

I am just curious. Are any of you posting on this forum willing to take up arms against the government to keep the government from taking away your firearms?

What I thought. Going to be put on another government watch list.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

... The report also noted that in a 25 year period between 1993 and 2017, the violent crime rate has dropped by 48.6 percent while firearms-related accidents have decreased by 68 percent.
Outstanding news!!!

In the last 20 years I've also seen remarkable improvement in the average shooters marksmanship ability as well. Years ago I could shoot on other people's targets after they were done shooting because the bullseye's were untouched. Free targets for me! Not any more.
