:rolleyes:

No, they aren't doing anything on my behalf.

They're suing on behalf of their liberal left-wing socialist pie-in-the-sky head-in-the-clouds idea of "how things oughta be".

If they're suing on my behalf then I'd have to sue them right back -- I never authorized it, nor was I given the opportunity to opt out of a class action.

Let's see the political right support this if the legislation was "Monitor and record any Gun Owners in the USA"...

Let somehow, monitoring people on the Internet is "just some left wing socialist's concern."

I don't get it. If our Government is so trustworthy and upstanding, then hell, we don't need the Second Amendment anymore, do we? Let's just ban everything other then hunting rifles and shotguns (small pellet only) and turn the rest in, scrap our gun manufacturers and melt down all the rest for metal.

Good plan, right? I mean, we don't need to have a way to rise up against such a well meaning, well run and well intentioned Government, do we?

Unfortunately I kind of tuned out the rest of your post after the first paragraph. Do you know how many hoops people go through to buy a gun these days?

Why weren't the ACLU and other liberals here in Winnetka Illinois when they passed a law banning guns in the town, period (even in homes). Where was all the free legal aid when a guy got arrested after shooting a home invader with his otherwise legally registered and licensed sidearm?

Where do you live? In my state, you can buy a gun at Wal-mart and walk out with it that day. So about the only "hoop" in most states is just getting to the store to buy the gun with a valid ID and name.

Would that hoop be going to a gun show and having a background check done instantly? Good old instant background checks. I hope that isn't a huge inconvenience. As per the other guy's post, perfect example. Let's start a program to make EVERYONE register their guns. By register, I mean if you are caught with an illegal gun its a stiff jail sentence. Use that illegal gun in a crime, and its a good life (25 yr) minimum in jail. Sound good? I imagine not. Why, well the right-wingers seems to have problems with even registering their guns or having anyone know what they bought. Yet, they wish to hand away our rights to the SAME government they claim to fear. Now that's a hypocrisy in a nutshell....

Yeah, well, I'm sure there were people living in the US in the 1700's who didn't think the revolutionaries were fighting on their behalf, too.

It really doesn't matter whether you realize prevention of abuses of power by government officials, or protection of your rights, is in your best interest. The fact of the matter is, it is (unless your career goals include being a dictator, of course).
