Yeah, I wonder if the nra will run this little gem?

I'm thinking no.....

Yet another straw on the sensible-gun-control camel's back.

My guess is they'll jump on this just as soon as Planned Parenthood jumps on the Kermit Gosnell story....

Can you define  sensible, as it relates to gun control?

Would one be willing to apply the same rules to the other amendments?

We have common sense gun laws now that aren't enforced and many are unenforceable in private sales. It's illegal to sell a handgun to a felon but you know it happened a hundred times across the country last night in living tooms, card, back alleys.

Fair point. Maybe violent felons.

Guns will always be here. If the government wants to take them, people will just say that they lost them , or they were stolen. Get them while you can.

Third, the NRA has averaged, (from 1998 to 2018),

Then, from a well known, UL  Site:
“…"The National Rifle Association does not have Republican ‘balls in a money clip,’ as (late-night TV host) Jimmy Kimmel put it the other night," Stephens wrote. "The NRA has donated a paltry $3,533,294 to all current members of Congress since 1998, according to The Washington Post, equivalent to about three months of Kimmel’s salary. The NRA doesn’t need to buy influence: It’s powerful because it’s popular."

Just a notation, Jimmy Kimmel  can LIE, all he wants.
Well, kinna like the he/she called tt.
