Your idea of gun rights are one SCOTUS decision away from going back to the way they were in the late 1700's. Kept at home and regularly inspected by the local militia. They've even set the historical standard as precedent. Now it's just a game of judges willing to actually use that standard instead of making shit up to create a new right from whole cloth.
It could go the other way though, most people don't know the court isn't capped at a certain number. But everyone knows you can repeal an amendment. And the rubber band effect is coming. How many kids will it take before people demand the entire amendment be scrapped? I don't know, but the idea grows every year. With every high profile shooting. You can compromise now or have all guns banned down the road. That's the outlook.
Yeah sure. I'll believe it if I see it, and not before.
I will not be giving up any rights, period.
It's all a sham. You never had a real right to hurt other people.
That's a strawman argument, because nobody said that we do.
Nobody has the right to hurt me or you, but we do have the right to defend ourselves from those who try.
Tell that to the kids dying because you won't accept the slightest amount of compromise.
