This would never work. There are people on both sides that would never settle for that. Also the next time there is a problem or one time some one does with a silencer it will be ban them. That’s what happened with bump stocks.

After 1994, I vowed never again would I assume bullcrap anti-Constitutional gun laws cannot pass; after the shady passage of the Safe Act, I became a stalwart absolutist and vowed never concede to anything from the gun bigots, EVER.

Former US Supreme Court justice, and cockwasher extraordinaire, Stevens exposed the agenda, confiscation.

Table 69 just ordered some cake. ORDER UP!

Let's say I have this cake. It is a very nice cake, with "GUN RIGHTS" written across the top in lovely floral icing. I received it from the 2nd amendment and the Dick act of 1902.



Along you come and say, "Give me that cake." I say, "No, it's my cake." You say, "Let's compromise. Give me half." I respond by asking what I get out of this compromise, and you reply that I get to keep half of my cake.


Okay, we compromise. Let us call this compromise The National Firearms Act of 1934.


There I am with my half of the cake, and you walk back up and say, "Give me that cake."


I say, "No, it's my cake."


You say, "Let's compromise." What do I get out of this compromise? Why, I get to keep half of what's left of the cake I already own.


So, we have your compromise -- let us call this one the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- and I'm left holding what is now just a quarter of my cake.


And I'm sitting in the corner with my quarter piece of cake, and here you come again. You want my cake. Again.


You say, "Let's compromise once more." What do I get out of this compromise? I get to keep one eighth of what's left of the cake I already own?


So, we have your compromise -- let us call this one the Machine gun ban of 1986 -- and I'm left holding what is now just an eighth of my cake.



I sit back in the corner with just my eighth of cake that I once owned outright and completely, I glance up and here you come once more.


You say nothing and just grab my cake; This time you take several bites -- we'll call this compromise the Clinton Executive Orders -- and I'm left with about a tenth of what has always been MY DAMN CAKE and you've got nine-tenths of it.


Then we compromised with the Lautenberg Act (nibble, nibble), the HUD/Smith and Wesson agreement (nibble, nibble), the Brady Law (NOM NOM NOM), the School Safety and Law Enforcement Improvement Act (sweet tap-dancing Freyja, my finger!)


I'm left holding crumbs of what was once a large and satisfying cake, and you're standing there with most of MY CAKE, making anime eyes and whining about being "reasonable", and wondering "why we won't compromise".



I'm done with being reasonable, and I'm done with compromise. Nothing about gun control in this country has ever been "reasonable" nor a genuine "compromise".

I would be willing to give em bump stocks to repeal the un-safe act nonsense , national reciprocity. That being said, It would never happen ; only our side ever gives up any ground.
I'm with Doc. No more F'n cake for you commie.

I am 100% for a discussion on compromise. Lets start right back at square one. Void out all the infringements to date thus far. No NFA, no GCA, Hughes Amendment gone, illegal state laws like safe and sullivan deleted. After we get about 100 years from under the yoke of these oppressive laws lets make a time to sit down and talk about compromises. Until then this conversation is over.
