Let it not be said that the RKBA side will not compromise.
Too often, RKBA proponents are accused of being unwilling to compromise. In actuality, this is more of a case of those opposed to gun rights being unwilling to truely compromise. To them, "allowing" us to keep any guns is "compromise", needless to say, we reject that view.

So, what would a real compromise look like? Let me give you an idea,

For an example, I personally have no objections to firearm registration provided that two conditions are met.

1) No type bans, manufacturing bans, or importation bans. Zip, zero, nada. In fact, on this condition, the federal government should renounce by law any percieved authority to ban the sale, manufacture, or import of any firearm.

2) Legislation strictly limiting the ability to confiscate firearms to convicted felons.

Condition 1 provides the RKBA side with a measure they actively support. Condition 2 pre-empts all "registration leads inevitably to confiscation" arguments and concerns.

By this compromise, the 2nd amendment is satisfied, the RKBA side can claim a victory, and gun controllers can get registration.

Yes, I know I'm being naive to believe that gun controllers will stop at anything less than total firearm prohibition, but let it never be said that we didn't try.
