ORIGINAL: DomKen Yeah you're not being equally contemtuous of them by calling the traitors. It's past time to realize that when actual gun people, like myself, proposed some pretty mild regulations, universal background checks on firearm transfers and a high capacity magazine ban, that going ape shit opposing those means that when the gun control guys do finally win, and they are going to win the people and money is on their side, the restrictions are going to be harsher because you guys gave up any reasonable negotiating position. You DO realize that asking a felon if he owns a gun is unconstitutional... Right? So the argument that "moderate gun control measures like universal background checks" are not going to stop criminals from obtaining guns, and thanks to 1968's Haynes v. U.S. decision makes ALL background checks illegal. Actually, it isn't. If a felon is on parole, they are subject to drop by visits and searches at any time, and there is no "illegal search and seizure" that will apply. They can be asked if they own a gun, if they have had a drop of alcohol, did a single drug, was around anyone who did those things, and be subjected to drug testing at the whim of their parole officers.
