100 percent ^^^^THIS^^^^Not on my life, I still consider myself bound to the oath I pledged to in 83', to Protect and Defend the Constitution, can't very well do that without firearms now can we?
It's fine on TNDeer in general. But better suited for the "General Discussion" forum. Not the "Deer Hunting" forum. I like talking about deer hunting. But I seldom ever visit the General Discussion forum where politics and drama are far more common.This is exactly the forum for this, why don't you just leave. This forum is all people with guns and where do you get people input about this topic other than this site, Facebook, ha I don't do any social media its ridiculous. I think the election stuff on this forum is dumb even though i did vote for Trump. Really get out of here go back to Facebook
So your not a supporter of the second amendment. Your in the only for hunting group?Though Biden's gun control plan is very extreme, to say the least, I think it's mostly there to appease those in the anti-gun camp. The anti-gun camp, from what I can tell, is a small minority of the country that primarily grew up in urban environments and have never been around guns in their lives. I've known one or two of these folks along the way, and when I talked to them about common uses for guns by rural folks, like predator control, hunting, etc., both of them were surprised to hear an opposing but rational counterpoint and appreciated that and could see the need for guns. Not that I changed their minds, but they at least could begin to see the utilitarian nature of firearms.
Further, the question of a buy back and future ban (albeit temporary like the assault weapons ban Clinton passed) is possible, but an outright ban of existing firearms or high-capacity magazines, does not seem possible. I understand that FFLs must report sales to the ATF, but anyone can walk into a store or get online and buy high-capacity magazines and those records aren't required to be maintained in the same fashion as those for firearms. And how far back into sales records would one go to identify every single "assault weapon" that's been sold? 10 years, 50 years? Again, this seems more like something that was written to appease a small group of people, not something that's actually intended to be implemented. If I've ever hoped to be correct, this is the instance! Also, everyone is armed with "assault weapons" and "high-capacity magazines" at this point. Left, right, ethnicity, religion, none of that matters, the majority of Americans are legally armed at this point.
Lastly, not that this is the question, but I'm getting on my soap box based on some of the responses from those lobbing verbal bombs at those on the left. I hope you're sitting down as this will likely come as a shock, but not all folks on the left are anti-gun. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the majority of those on the left aren't anti-gun and are in fact, gun owners themselves. Just like you and me. I'd say there are even likely left-leaning voters on this very forum. I have plenty of friends on the left, right, and middle, and they ALL own lots of guns and ammo. In fact, I have several left-leaning friends, some of them pretty far left, that are as heavily into shooting sports and hunting as any of my friends on the right. I myself am a middle of the road voter. Being on the extreme end of just about anything is not productive and definitely doesn't lead to any sort of unification of a group of people, except for the small group of extremists that share the viewpoint.
I assume this post is going to get torched, but if everyone would think a little more about not being ready to jump everyone else's Poop at the drop of a hat, we wouldn't be where we are now as a country.
What in my post would lead you to think I'm NOT a supporter of the second amendment???So your not a supporter of the second amendment. Your in the only for hunting group?
I really don't know the answer but are there politicians on the left that run on a pro 2A platform? There might be people that identify as the left that are pro 2A but they are likely voting for politicians that are antigun.Though Biden's gun control plan is very extreme, to say the least, I think it's mostly there to appease those in the anti-gun camp.

If they try to do a buy back/ confiscation of guns would you give yours up i sure as hell won't. Give me liberty or give me death
No.If they try to do a buy back/ confiscation of guns would you give yours up i sure as hell won't. Give me liberty or give me death
Actually there are a few on here, past and present, that will gladly hand them over.Really? This is a forum for (1) people in Tennessee, (2) who hunt. No one on this forum would be okay with or willingly comply with what you're talking about. I assume you're looking for an echo chamber to bash a far-left idea that everyone here already opposes to the nth degree.
This is a discussion tailor made for Facebook. Not so much the "Deer Hunting Forum" section.
Mine too. Total loss. I only have kitchen knives now.Mine were in gasman's boat when it capsized
I'm not an expert of left or any other politicians, as I think they're mostly all out for themselves and their corporate betters, but I know of some left politicians from western states that are pro gun. I agree with your statement that there are pro 2A voters on the left that vote for politicians that may, to one extent or another, be for some type of "gun control". In those instances, I assume those voters are looking beyond the single issue of 2A at the larger entirety of issues beyond 2A. It's a complicated world and political landscape, that's for sure!I really don't know the answer but are there politicians on the left that run on a pro 2A platform? There might be people that identify as the left that are pro 2A but they are likely voting for politicians that are antigun.
