Voices from the Past

There is a sub-species of pig-headed gun owners who refuse to entertain any attempts to persuade our "beautiful Second Amendment" president about needed course corrections. They view any attempt as an attack to be put down with stupid and bellicose questions like "Would you rather have Hillary?" or accusations of being a closet leftwinger or a Russian bot.

One point I made that I haven't noticed too many picking up on is the way a "voice vote" within many of our memories eviscerated our recognized right to keep and bear arms.

Here are some more reminders of what can happen when you rely on a corrupt broker being the sole arbiter of who screamed the loudest, which is one hell of an outrageously unacceptable way to commit the fate of millions:

• 1986 Machine Gun Ban Was a Parliamentary Scam
• The Decades-Old Gun Ban That's Still On The Books
• How The Federal Government Nullified the Second Amendment to 'Ban' Automatic firearms
