Hehe. I made my bf promise if there's a zombie apocalypse that he'd hop a C-130 and get his butt home. I need my wingman.

Zombies are pretty scary tho. Although now that I think of it, Liberal safe zones may be a great place to hide. There's a notable lack of brains that may actually deter zombies!

I used to say that's why I went to work for the federal government. Zombies would never check a federal building.

Course, if there were enough of us smart enough to do that ....

I live in condition yellow constantly. Living in San Antonio for a year did that to very quickly. Im always on alert.

People generally are the thing I'm terrified of.

If I play Devils advocate for a moment and try to see things from the anti-gun citizens perspective, I can only come up with one legitimate concern to fear.

People with extensive and ongoing chemical dependence and psychiatric disorders can and do qualify for LTCs. heck, you can be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and go to inpatient drug rehab, get granted your LTC the following month, and then go back to inpatient drug rehab again the next month without losing your license!

However, I think those same people, if prone to violence, get weeded out pretty quickly by the criminal disqualifiers.

Be careful for what you ask for. Allowing the government to define mental illness and associated restrictions on firearms ownership is a slippery slope to defining us all as mentally ill. Whoever controls the conversation makes the rules.

Coming from someone who votes Democrat while still supporting gun rights, don't any of you think that it might be possible that if the Republican party stopped pushing to pass laws infringing on constitutionally afforded rights that aren't the second ammendment (as decided by the supreme court) things might improve a little?

Gay marraige, abortion laws under the guise of womens health, etc. Why are these things always a hot topic? Why is universal healthcare a problem? Most sensible non-BLM supporting liberals see things in a similar light as most other sensible people. People's rights shouldn't be trampled on, especially those deemed to be fortified by the constitution and that people deserve a little common decency.

While we all have arguments over things that shouldn't even be an argument everytging becomes polarized. Don't you expect a little bit of pushback when there are a few more ammendments than just the second?

A more moderate party draws votes, and in a two party system votes influence platforms. A republican party that isn't infected with overbearing religous morality, anti-science, heartless self interest, and wall building might just make for a democratic party that isn't infected with antigun, black lives matter, make everyone feel like a snowflake, hand outedness.

I don't deny there's an issue on our side of things. Just that you can't have a group of people go off the deep end and not expect some people on the other side to respond in kind.

Abortion has nothing to do with women's health. It is a hot topic because abortion ends a human life.

I'm a Libertarian, but I do tend to vote for Republican candidates. IMHO both parties want government to interfere with things it has no business in. Republicans want to have government interference in our personal lives (as you noted), and Democrats want government interference in our economic lives (B. Hussein Obama's famous doctrine of "wealth redistribution" comes to mind). Give me a dysfunctional government that gets nothing done, and I am a happy camper.

That said, I must disagree that the things you have listed are "Constitutionally afforded rights". Rights are "afforded" to us by our creator at the time of our birth. They are not bestowed upon us by some benevolent government. The best that the constitution can do is promise that the government will not infringe on the rights that we have, and ensure that we have the ability to defend our rights if the government tries to overstep its bounds.

Also, I can not find the right to marriage mentioned anywhere in my copy of the constitution, and I think that the government has no business regulating the private contractual arrangement that we call marriage, or the religious ceremony (and commitment) that is called by the same name. Ensure that parents are taking care of their kids in all circumstances and otherwise stay out of it. I know that a majority of SC justices disagree with me and IMHO they are wrong.
