that was in reply to your post stating :

You mean Dems haven't proposed anti-gun legislation?

I seem to recall Obama wanting to get rid of all semi-automatic weapons.

What the left needs to realize is that conservatives don't really care about owning automatic weapons. What we're concerned with is any legislation that chips away at our rights because we know govt can't stop once they start. Look at England and Australia for example.

We can also see this thru the example of our individual autonomy. Look at the Patriot Act or the National ID card. Does anyone believe those aren't affronts to our liberties or or that govt will stop right there? I just read where the FBI wants to open up a database on all Americans thru the use of retina scans and palm imprint readers. Do you understand why we don't trust the govt when it comes to our 2nd amendment rights?

You don't trust gvt, esp republican gvt that pushed through PATRIOT Act and took away your rights, but still distrust Democrats because you fear they want to take away your rights. So what is a person to do? Vote for those who have shown by their actions that they want to limit your rights, or vote for those you fear may take away your rights (guns)?

I have read why you say you are here, have been following this topic today. Am wondering which way you lean.
