    Try? Sure. Some elements already are. The problem for them is we have a Constitutional right backed up with multiple court decisions and many states have a similar right built into their State Constitution. That makes it a lot harder to just change things almost on a whim here like they did in New Zealand.

    The other big problem for banners is we have a completely different mindset here. Most of the gun owners here consider ourselves citizens, not subjects.

    And many states, including Indiana, have a quasi 2nd amendment clause in their state constitution.

    Indiana state constitution-Article 1 section 32
    "The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the state."

    The gun control crowd would need to change most of those states constitutions to have a chance.

    There is always danger.
    Until gun owners stand up and say "ENOUGH!", and teach future generations, there will be risks of collectivists going for the 2nd.

    Try? Dude.

    Are you keeping up with current events? They already did it. They will do it again.

    Are you ready?

    I agree. Do you think that there are more high court decisions in favor of the Second Amendment it will be more difficult? We have more teeth in our arguments?

    They're always trying. Nothing would please the libs more than disarming citizens. That's why we have to fight harder on our side.

    We are allowing the liberals to teach the next generation to be anti-gun. It takes place every day in our tax paid public schools, the same as universities.

    No, the antis will ignore the Court. You must understand, taking your guns is a matter of a religious tenet for them.

    There is no act, no lie, no action to a third party that they will not do.
