Do you honestly believe that "Teh evil gubments" would deem 99% of the U.S. Population mentally as some flimsy premise to seize their weapons?

And the bootlickers will be along to praise King Obama for taking their rights simply because he is a progressive and doing "whats right".
Progressives value idealism over reality and this is why they float in the air like a paper bag. It is also the reason many progressives are young and or sketchy older people. Young people have not lived long enough to gain the wisdom that only comes with age and the older people make the same mistakes over and over again.
Really? Do a Google image search of "Sandy Hook funerals" and tell me if that isn't reality.
who stole his guns from his dead mother.........
So I guess that pretty much nullifies that example.....
So the dead at SH aren't "reality" then. Logic, applying it makes one look less ignorant.

And yet despite all this "branding" and "labelling" your average U.S. citizen still has just as much right to own a firearm as he did 30 years ago.
How is that, I wonder? If the government is slowly eroding away your 2nd amendment right, who took YOUR guns away?
A person, sufficiently deranged, will acquire weapons one way or another. This is the whole "Bad people will get guns anyway so why bother at all" argument that infuriates me. Why shouldn't there be some common sense measures in place to put road blocks on the path of that deranged person getting a gun? Every obstacle on that path is another opportunity to rethink your motives and change your mind.

Your argument to the mental health and guns on that issue falls flat on its face because HE DIDNT PURCHASE THE GUNS....
He KILLED his mother and acquired them...
To that point again....WHO is going to assess who is mentally Ill? We have already seen the gov classify 85 percent of the US populace as having extremist views....
Do you trust that system?

I'm thinking the same. He said progressive don't deal in reality. I pointed dead people ARE reality. You can argue semantics all day but refusing to see victims as such is EXACTLY what I'm pointing out. We ALL know that when it come down to dead people vs. guns logic no longer applies to some.

Not all felons completely lose their right to vote. Depending on the state in which they committed a crime, many will regain their right to vote once they have served their time or over a certain period.
Again, the two examples are not very comparable. You're continuing to conflate the issue.

If you earnestly believe only the young and stupid are "progressives" then you're part of the problem in the United States. This whole "Us vs. Them" mentality has got you by the dangly bits and you're buying it hook line and sinker. Broaden your thinking. Not everyone on the left is stupid and young, just as not everyone on the right is old, white, or christian. Abandon your stereotypes and you might might see some validity in the arugments rather than thinking "The progressives want it, so it must be awful" crap.
