A saddle horse with a well regulated gait is a joy to ride.
A well regulated engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
“Well Regulated” in this context has nothing to do with gov’t regulation it merely meant that in order to have the ability to raise civilian militias capable of defending their homes, communities, states, and the nation in times of emergency it is essential that our right to keep and bear arms remain protected.
Something that has been missed and I, personally, find encouraging.
VA Senate introduced to bring back the 1 gun a month policy that we in effect from 1994 to 2012.
It had the vote to pass.
But the NRA lobby day happened. The people that showed up asked what the goal was. Dems said “to stop VA from once again, being the number 1 state for gun runners as it was before 1994”
NRA said “if you were sure they weren’t gun runners, would you allow it?”
Dems said yup.
So NRA proposed giving a exception for CCL holders who passed more extensive backgrounds, submitted finger prints, etc
VA Dems said “yeah, that’s fair and a good point”.
And passed that.
That is how politics should work. The majority set the agenda and goals. Then both parties work towards a solution to meet those goals.
The NRA still doesn’t like the law, would rather it not pass, but they lose the election. So they changed their focus.
The NRA and “the dems” are not the majority and we don’t vote on rights. If we did, homosexual marriage wouldn’t be legal in California and that would be wrong.
As far as who should be allowed to own a firearm?
100% agree.
Same with voting right?
So I am assumed to have the right to vote and to remove the right you need due proccess and to err on side of individual right?
Do you support same day voting registration? Or even having to register at all??
The Dems in won the election. They are the majority. They won gov (for the 4th out of 5th time) and won the majority on the Senate and house.
All while running on gun control.
