    I'm not smart enough to figure out the difference in hype, news, bias, or the real state of affairs of the 2nd Amendment.
    It looks like the uneducated do-gooders have a lot of momentum right now.
    I just wish these asses would leave our Constitution alone. Its worked well for a couple of centuries and I don't see why it can't exist for a few more before these azzhats destroy a good country.
    IF they don't like this one and it's Constitution let them GO and start their own.

    In an absolute worst case situation I suspect true Americans would strongly resist this tyranny to the regret of the leftie leaders.

    Freedom to bear arms for self-defense was in the English Bill of Rights, signed into law in 1689. We all saw how that worked out. To quote a former gun owner in Great Britain, "We all stayed home and expected somebody to tell the truth. No one did."

    We must remain vigilant, we must remain active. The antis have an endless supply of useful idiots and dug-in political operatives. They also have 95% of the media and 99% of academia at the post-secondary level.

    We have us. I've seen first-hand what it looks like when we show up, it is a sight to behold.

    To answer the question in the thread title: only if we allow it to happen.

    It also looked like Hillary had the election in the bag. I've gotten to the point where I don't take anything broadcast by the media at face value, all information is being guided with the intention of steering people in a certain direction. I'll not be losing my rights. That's not to say that at some point some may not try to take them but that's going to be a learning experience.

    If they want them its going to cost a very high price. And I don't think they would win.
    So will we lose our 2nd amendment rights?
    First its not governments right to grant or take it away, so we will only lose it if good men do nothing.

    Well let’s look at one parties platform for 2020

    1. Lower voting age

    2. Abandoning the electoral college

    3. Reparations

    4. Free college

    5. Free health care

    6. Guaranteed income $500 to $1000 a month

    7. New Green Deal

    8. Assault Weapon ban

    9. Reenter the Paris agreement

    10. Free child care

    I would think a repealing the 2nd Amendment or gutting it would be a real possibility if you look at the platform.

    This is about changing the government and the rules not about the government as it is now.

    One has to think that President Obama would be considered a far right blue dog by today’s standard.

    Obama would support all 10 of those things you listed. He just wasn't as vocal about it as the likes of Maxine Waters and AOC

    And not just free colege but forgiving legal debts that people knowingly and legally agreed to accept for loans. Just up and erasing those.
    Well that just means WE ALL have to pay them.
    The money was given and I want it back!!

    Short answer, yeah.
    Had that discussion with the better 2/3's three decades ago. Told her to remember that when the time comes there's no piece of wood or steel worth a hair on her head.

    Ever been to an Appleseed or Revere’s Riders Event? I’m betting the answer is “no”.

    only if we allow it to happen.

    And that is what scares the daylight out of me. The "WE"........who is the "we"?

    Look at what is going on in this country. Look where we came from to where we are today. The "we" would frequently say...."nah, that will never happen here, this is the USA!"; all while it was happening.

    Indoctrinating in all levels of education. Politicians who saw one thing and actually do another - and surprisingly they get elected AGAIN AND AGAIN. Cities and states making her own gun laws, so bizarre that when challenged in court, it's reduced to a "smaller" gun ban, less significant because of compromise. A man can marry a man and it's forced on society! You and your business is bankrupt because of legal fees when you stand for your religion and not bake a cake for a gay marriage. A child cannot say "bang bang" in a classroom without being suspended and sent for counseling! Dare not eat a Pop Tart into a shape of a gun - you can be kick out of grade school! Americans are electing muslim politicians into local, state and federal positions and these people are refusing to be sworn in on a bible. If you are a white individual, regardless of anything, you are a privileged individual and basically a racist. If you are patriotic, putting your country first, you are white nationalist (just happened to me 3 days ago). The democratic party (of no more) is now a blatant anti-American socialist party that wants to remove our constitution!

    Oh, let's not forget, Trump had to write an EO to have free speech on college campuses. YEP, in the USA!

    SO MANY MORE.....all because "we" allow them. The socialists (we have no more demoncrats) want to dilute our country in order to dilute the "we"; and in doing so will get the job done. Don't say it cannot happen; it's going on as I write this post. It's called a bloodless coup; and it's real. I pray not, but if a drop of blood is ever shed and caused from any of the "we", "they" will have the excuse, the reason and the backing to "take them" from us. I pray "we" stand together and prevent this by our votes and voices and not anyone's blood. We need to keep this administration in office......it's our only hope for now.

    When it is said, "If WE allow them"; I get concerned.

    [FONT=&quot]This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.[/FONT]

    Hi there.
    The answer to your question is "no".
    I say yeah because (1) I understand the goals and the forces aligned to make it happen and (2) I've read how this ends up and (3) things are just a'clicking along faster all the time.
    Does it happen in my lifetime? Don't know, my crystal ball isn't a Timex. But the wife was concerned so we had that discussion to leave no doubt as to what the priorities are.

    I think it is just a matter of time barring some cataclysmic event. The leftist education industry does a better job of indoctrinating our children with each passing generation.

    While I agree, it still disturbs me. "WE" are the parents....."leftist education industry" is the same as Hillary's "village". And the parents willingly allow that village to raise their children.
