Going back to the middle east. You have criminals with evil intent that possess large stockpiles of weapons. And then you have israel who also own weapons for self defense purposes. If israel would agree to such a proposition it not only would be extremely stupid it would be suicidal.
If you only have one side listening to rules because youre afraid to start up with the other side youre just creating more victims.
I dont know why your not getting this. As long as our country is flooded with illegal guns coming from less than stellar sources, it would make no sense, actually it would be dangerous, to keep putting restrictions on normal law abiding citizens who would actually go through the background check.
The politicians arent saying this because it brings up the whole border thing and of course illegal immigration which equals less votes. To go believe their propaganda is being truly naive and taking attention away from where it is needed.
Why dont we try to take back our country, clean up our act, and then if there are still issues then we will have two willing participants to this conversation.
