    these are good points; don't let folks forget them. Guns Aren’t a Bulwark Against Tyranny. The Rule of Law Is.https://nyti.ms/2yJNx9y

        Guns are highly dangerous but I can’t shake off the angle that “we’d be holding millions of responsible people accountable to the mentally ill”.

        I don't see what the problem with that is. It's applied anywhere else, such as cars, flying, fire codes...

        Shrink gun ownership rights to minimum. Well armed militia can’t be regulated; unregulated militia is recipe for tyranny, not liberty!

        Who do you think’s going to do the confiscating? After all, you’ll be criminalizing 50-80 million gun owners unwilling to forfeit property.

        And who holds the law accountable? Every tyrant establishes laws to constrain the governed.

        And who decides if the govt is tyrannical? Some random asshole with a chip on his shoulder? That’s the very definition of terrorism

        If Congress believed in the Rule of Law they would not exempt themselves from most of them.

        Right. If we get to the point where we need guns to fight off the government, we've pretty much lost already.
