(2,730 posts)that you already know what the Republican Party is looking for. I submit the danger to this country is not the President of the United States but the extremists in the Republican Party. They are a threat to the Constitution and our way of life. I submit that you do not just go back to the founders of the Constitution but include the Era of 1860 in the interim. That was another era when this country found itself in danger from people's rights like you are defending.
Anybody can look at the current characteristics of the present Republican Party and see where this current treasonable attitude has incubated itself just like 1860, when you also have numerous members of the current Republican Party having the audacity to even signing petitions to secede from this country. They do not have the right to do so which was settled in 1865, just like they don't have so now. They do not respect this country or our Democracy. If public opinion wants to enforce gun laws, no one has the right to impede such restrictions. Just like it was reasonable to enforce such search procedures under the guise of National Security and preventing Terrorrism. I did not hear your rightwing Southern peers arguing about rights then. They only argue when Americans are the wrong ethnicity or in the wrong states, and don't look like them. Respond to that, my mind is open to your reply.
