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.

@Razorback I have been paying attention... and not all liberals are that, most aren't... What they are saying is that law abiding gun owners should be fine with a deeper background check, safety classes and test shooting. If they aren't fine with it, what are they hiding? If everything is good, they should have no issues complying with those things.

My God do not try and present logic and truth on this forum! Heads will explode! Do not question predetermined conclusions. If Democrats are not taking away the guns they need to protect themselves from the hordes of rapists pouring over the border their existence no longer has meaning.@SkyeDaydream

@monte3 I am glad that I read you making a joke otherwise I would have gone off about stereotyping those coming across the boarder for safety most of all. Hell at my age I am more scared of being raped by a white guy in his 20's who thinks he's entitled to anything he wants... Not families leaving third world countries to get away from violence, rape and poor living conditions. This is for those who are ignorant. Most of the people crossing into the Untied States are seeking Asylum, meaning safety from a dangerous situation, most likely their young boys being killed for not joining a gang or keeping their daughters from being raped or sold. Or they are looking for better jobs that US citizens feel they are too good for and would rather work the system. (All of the people I know who collect Welfare are Trump supporting conservative Republicans, none are liberal or democrats, just to point out for the argument I know will start from that last statement.)

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

@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.
