Re: Manchin- Toomey Amendment

If the bill were to pass, would I be able to lawfully exercise my right to keep and bear arms as freely as I could before passage?

The answer is clearly no. It is therefore clearly unconstitutional, and another step in the total dismantlement of our former liberties.

History clearly shows that hard won liberties are deliberately usurped a little bit at a time in the name of what's good for you as determined by those with power to gain. This is achieved through "compromise" until folks suddenly realize they're all gone. Things always get really ugly from there.

Compromise has no place when it comes to freedom. You either have it or you don't, and those elected officials who disregard their oaths of office and trash it in the name of "common sense" or "reasonableness" are either traitors, cowards, or both.
