    Talks a strong game in privacy, data collection, etc in other areas. Not so much with lawful exercise of 2A.

    2A shouldn't be the primary issue to vote on. No one's coming for your guns and you can't find me 38 state legislatures ready to amend the Constitution. American's love their guns and they are here to stay.
    I agree, which is why I’m trying to convince people that like him but disqualify him on that single issue to reconsider.

    I like my civil rights, and I'd like to keep them.

    Me too. He has a stated position in everything. But has anything he’s said indicated that this is a priority for him?

    I mean, even with total control of Congress, we’ve had 3 straight admins struggle to get ONE major change through. For him it’s UBI. Not guns. Beto is proof that being an anti-gun nut isn’t viable.

    It's important enough to have a lengthy policy statement on his campaign site. I mean, yeah, I don't think it's important to him either. But I've learned not to trust politicians on things important to me, especially when they have a public position contrary to my values.

    All meaningless, of course. Yang's going nowhere in this race, which is too bad.

    No BoR issue should be the primary to vote on. They should all be sacrosanct. However, 2A is the one most openly and directly attacked, followed by 1A and 4A.

    As I've said, you want to make substantive changes to legal gun ownership, do it honestly and propose an amendment to alter. Eroding it piecemeal is not good, not just for 2A but for the Constitution and civil rights broadly.
    Don't disagree. I just don't stress about it as much as my HH 2A bros. I am convinced there would be a major armed insurrection if the federales seriously tried to come for guns.

    Obama talked TUFF on guns to and literally did nothing. Gun control is not gonna happen. The amount of political capital it would take to fight that fight would be insane. And potentially end in total failure. 2A has bipartisan support.

    Besides, his main issue is the economy. I doubt gun legislation is even in his top 25 policy wish list.

    Yet they all say they'll ban everything. I take them at their word. You'd vote for someone if he said he's going to jail all democrats if you liked him.
