A fan is right: the Constitution impedes the “sweep” you seem to envision. So you haven’t given me a single tool, yet. I know you are deeply wedded to the narrative you need, but almost all of us as Americans and virtually everyone I know who identifies as “left” are only liking for balance in respect to gun ownership and regulation. No one has said “you guys with illegals firearms are free to go. The rest of you, we want your guns.” That’s just a stupid thing to say; you must see that. So again, how do you propose to “sweep” up the illegals firearms — in a way that is consistent with the Constitution you pretend to revere?Peter Brown wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 12:51 pma fan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 12:11 pmThe Constitution.

But sure, let's start playing your "papers please" in suburban and rural America. I promise you that there are millions of illegally held guns that have been passed down from generation to generation. Start where there are lots of white people. They'll just LOVE your idea.
So you’re a ‘respectful constitutionalist’ when it comes to sweeps for **illegal* guns in inner cities (‘we can’t do that, c’mon, 4th amendment illegal search and seizure!’), but you’re conveniently anti-constitution rolling back #2A for *legal* guns.
‘All you guys with illegal guns, you’re free to go; all you guys with legal guns, hand them over’.
Interesting. Revealing. Predictable.
I can’t recall the last time you offered anything here worthwhile replying to, but I do think it’s incumbent upon me to remind others here that you’re the same guy who’s plaintively desperate to sit in judgment of others, while proudly belonging to country clubs for squash and tennis which expressly forbid blacks as members. Always helpful to recall who were dealing with.
If your have anything substantive to add, you should try that instead; people might respect you.
