Gun rights advocates who suggest reasonable gun control in the US, enacted through the legislative process and affirmed by an independent judiciary, is the first step down the slippery slope towards genocide comparable to the oppressive anti-democratic regimes of Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Pol Pot's Cambodia....

Sure...the Brady Law, the last significance US gun control legislation enacted 16 years ago, almost entirely on a party line vote, was the first step towards genocide.

No, it was the first step towards removing a Constitutional Right that I have to own guns, even the ugly ones.

Hey....I think its great that you are not in the UG gun control --> genocide camp.

At the same, in its 200+ year history, the Supreme Court has never affirmed that 2nd Amendment rights are absolute...and that includes the most recent ruling by the conservative leaning Court that struck down the DC gun law, but also concluded that the Constitution does not prohibit reasonable restrictions or limitations on that right.
