Why so angry?

Why is it that many gun owners cannot have a thoughtful discussion re more stringent controls on gun ownership? Are some of you really thinking that you will be grabbing your AR and going to war against the US government? We do all understand that WE are the government in this country, right? The majority is designed to determine the direction of the country (with the exception of the absurdly silly Electoral College. I recommend everyone read the history of and reasons for the EC to help understand why it should have never happened and should be dismantled today. If I called anyone a name in this post, it was not my intention.

I am not a history expert, however the wisdom for the EC has shown to be brilliant.

This is the United States, a coalition of independent states that formed a union. The EC was to prevent tyrany of the majority and give individual states a voice and power in electing the President.

Someone more refined and eloquent can state this better.

Is being educated the real reason for this post?

Your understanding is faulty. It seems to correlate closely to what I hear coming out of public education the last few decades.

I would recomend that you sir, reread about why that absurdly silly Electoral College needed to part of our Constitution.

Just imadgin our country with NY, DC, LA, SF and all the other huge population centers having all the power in The USA.
No Thanks.

Bro. Why are you asking the same question with different words in a new thread each time rather than responding to the threads already started?

How are "WE are the government"? We elect people to represent us.

There are other countries that you may find better for your liking than this "silly" country. Need help packing?

Start here.
If you served you took an oath to defend this.
When did you denounce your oath?

Well, he is for more gun control it sounds like. I'm sure it's sensible and what not.

Mr Miller, I see you are relatively new here and haven’t participated in many conversations.

First I would like to welcome you. It’s always good to have people join us here. We enjoy getting to know one another and learning new ideas, things etc.

Tell us a little about yourself, why you joined and what you hope to bring to the table and what you would like to take away.

By the way have you considered becoming a dues paying supporter? Any contributions would be welcome and appreciated.

Probably because we know that there should not be more stringent laws on gun ownership. There is no conversation to be had. In fact, the opposite is true and laws limiting ownership of firearms should be eliminated.

That was kind of the point back in the day, right? it's a little more uneven now but we don't catch on real fast, as people like you might surmise.

We do all understand that WE are the government in this country, right?

FIFY

Key word - designed. It's broke. Voting can't fix it, it has the potential to make it worse, or maybe slow the slide down.

Few reasonable discussions take place when the topic is the taking the taking of inalienable rights…

Do you understand that more lives have been ended by “governments”?

For someone that supposedly to have Taken That Big Oath and enlisted. Hes a bit short on the knowledge of what he took an Oath to Uphold.

Is this troll just here to get a list of names as to who responds the quickest?
Definitely trolling for something.
