Ok liberals explain why you defend the 1st ammendment but not the 2nd?

I am not sure they defend the First amendment. Remember, generally their case does not stand up to logical argument or debate, so on balance they hate the absolutism of the wording, the absence of any way it can be nuanced to prevent opinions contrary to theirs.

It all conservatives miss understanding or twisting words that makes it seem like liberals don't support the 2nd amendment. Liberals want gun control laws to be stronger, no one wants to take away your right to own a gun for hunting (if you so choose) or for self defense. Liberals just want to make sure that their are complete background checks, safety classes, (not just for the gun owner but the whole family) and that the gun or guns is/are legally purchased and registered. Some states have stricter gun laws and others don't... it should be federal government that controls gun laws not state, that way it is the same throughout the nation. Liberals also want certain guns to not be available to the public. For hunting and self defense one only needs a single shot gun, not a gun that can shoot 30 rounds in a matter of seconds. You have to remember the time when the Amendment was written... it even says a well regulated militia... what does well regulated mean in this day and age. The founders of our country could not even imagine the technology we have today, what would they say about modern guns? They would want people to safe and legal. That is all liberals are asking for. Stronger safety precautions. I come from a family of liberals that live in rural conservative community and my step dad owns a gun for self defense. It's in a locked safe, we all know the code and didn't write it down anywhere. We all took safety classes and spent time at a gun range practicing shooting. I don't like it, but I know that if I had too, I could stop a criminal by accurately shooting them in the leg to stop them from what they are doing. I would never go for the head or heart shot to kill them.

You are absolutely correct that most are coming across the border for jobs and escape violence. I should have stated the Democrats are not taking away their guns they think they need against the rapists that are not pouring over the border.@SkyeDaydream
@monte3 We cannot accept any more huddled masses. Especially huddled masses that come to fly [b][c=#BF0000]their f[/c][/b]lags on the[b][c=#BF0000] their[/c][/b] front porches and deal fecking drugs or plot misdeeds.

You people have led such sheltered lives. You have no clue what is going on, and it really pisses me off.
@puck61 Most of the people coming in are not drug sellers, that is stereotype that you are believing. Granted there are few, but most of the people coming in are families looking for a better life. But that very stereotype you believe is what is making the situation worse and families being separated. I agree that our country is getting full but why can't we find families willing to host another family until they can get on their feet and get the proper paperwork to be here? I agree there should be background checks, fingerprints taken and they should enter with their rightful ID but sometimes that doesn't happen or too many come at once or they are too scared to try to come legally as they are afraid they would be turned away for no good reason.

They don't want the 1st amendment, if they get their wish and ban the 2nd, then we wont be able to defend any of them.

Because they think everyone will join hands and pay outrageous taxes
.....or why it's a person's choice to murder a child but not to kill a full grown human who is trying to kill you? My loathing meter red-lined when they lit those buildings up in New York in celebration of murder. (and they say they're not 'fascists) They want to put Tutankhamun and King Herod to shame, and they've already beaten Hitler and the holocaust game.

Who says we don't? Why do you lump all democrats from a myriad of beliefs, experiences, locations and walls of life into one single homogenized group?
