It's not an issue of my eyes or Duchess' eyes seeing anything other than the facts, Six.
Again, the examples you pasted are not examples of attacks on the Second Amendment. Insisting that they are because you feel threatened by 'slippery slope' or whatever is one of the main reasons that discussions and exchanges in regards to guns always turn into pissing matches and political stalemates.
What you're talking about last week in Florida was simply a floor vote on whether or not to just discuss a ban on certain arms. The Florida legislature voted not to even have the discussion days after a mass murder of children, and the student and teacher survivors reacted passionately.
Some of the students and teachers are demanding a ban on AR15s and high capacity magazines. If either of those bans were to go into effect, it wouldn't be an attack or violation of your Second Amendment rights; you would still have the right to bear arms for self-defense (which is not unlimited and does not extend to every kind of gun and ammo imaginable, per the Supreme Court).
I've been listening to everyone who's weighing in, from all sides. One of the speakers at the Town Hall was the mother of a 14-year-old girl who was killed in latest school mass shooting. She was painfully distraught and passionate. Her major beef was why the school wasn't built better, wasn't more secure, didn't follow some of the recommendations from the NRA regarding shielding schools following Sandy Hook.
Other survivors and victims in the crowd focused on the need for higher age limits, better background checks, and getting the NRA out of politics.
