“Kelley, [shot people in the church, exited] was then confronted by and traded fire with Stephen Willeford, a local resident and former firearms instructor who was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. Willeford had taken cover behind a truck across the street from the church and shot Kelley twice, once in the leg and once in the upper left torso under his tactical gear. . .”[

Thanks again. That is an example of one instance. I'm sure there are others.

Well, let’s just say that solving the problem wile still protecting the 2A is like asking for a square circle.
Now, if you would be open to some compromises there might be a few options. There is clearly no solution that will satisfy diehards.
And as to who had their face “there the other day” you might want to open your eyes next time and see who your friend is, because it certainly wasn’t me… and never would be.
Many people are willing to entertain compromise (again). People in favor of personal defense have, after all, been compromising since 1934.
How is this: You agree to universal concealed-carry reciprocity —
and we agree to universal background checks. Or,
You agree that: 1. AR-Style Modern Sporting Rifles ARE NOT “assault rifles”, and all legislation regarding restrictions on so called “assault rifles” is removed. 2. There shall be unfettered possession and use of AR-Style Modern Sporting Rifles —
and we agree to a limitation on (new) larger than 20-round-‘standard’-capacity magazines. Or,
You agree to allowing the purchase and possession of new fully-automatic weapons —
and we agree to have those possessing them be investigated, verified, a detailed background check, and a ‘possession-identification’ card be carried if-or-when the weapons are in public areas.Or,
You agree to untaxed, unlicensed possession and use of silencers, nationwide —
and we agree specific Identification Card to be carried when silencers are used or possessed in public.See? We are willing to compromise — if you are!
