Maybe Americans have had enough.
If so I don't blame the people.
The jackasses in power better take a good look in the mirror wherever they live.

you are not going to win the argument. there are people that are so in fear of our nation becoming a tyranny, that they do not want any government agency to know that they own a gun, especially one that can kill quickly and in large numbers.

When you have to ask permission from a central authority to own a fire arm, then it is no longer a right.
It is an allowance.
Right now, the government wants to "allow" people (who pass a certain criteria) to own a select choice of fire arm of their choosing.
This is the same thing as giving a speech, but having the government "ok" the wording before you are "allowed" to give it.

The "gun grabbers" are a figment of your imagination, placed there by the NRA. Every well intended handgun ban by a local government has been overturned by the Supreme Court.

How is it you "know" what the government "wants?" Don't the laws that are passed speak for themselves?

Redundant.
Through laws, the government "tells" you what they will "approve" when they give you permission to own what they deem is appropriate.

Very good. Now, what part of the law in the OP says you cannot have any guns?

I Don't Enjoy Dealing with Tyrants.
Therefore i try to stay away from Politicians.
Doesn't mean i don't VOTE.
for what freaking good it does.
The Government is supposed to be ours.
It is not
It's past time that We should be in Control.
So do you think by giving up our only means of
defense to do so is the perfect answer ?
Maybe we should have given Britan all of our Muskets
way back then.

This is exactly the sort of anger management issue that makes people want to ban guns.
Yes because putting someone who is not violent or criminal into a place that forces them either be a criminal or violet means they did somthing wrong or deserving of justice?
Sounds more like "the ends justify the means to me."
How about just complying with the law? Why does that not seem to be an option here?

Because sometimes the law is wrong. Would you agree that Rosa Parks did the right thing by not complying with the law? Otto Schindler?

You said "any". Not fair. What if I wanted to own an automatic rifle? I can't. I can only have the types of weapons that "they" approve of, if I pass their criteria.
Currently, we don't have true Rights to own fire arms anymore. You should be happy. The controlling central authority has made it virtually impossible for anyone to simply go out and purchase one.
