Well how do we have stealth bombers and mech infantry in 1944? Also, claiming Thomas to be like Browder is excessive at best

I can promise this. If anyone tries to take away the guns that the people of Dixie own there will be more bloodshed.

In giving every citizen the same right to own guns, you are giving an advantage to those who would engage in violence as well as those you call responsible gun owners. With restrictions on gun ownership (note, its not a 'right' doesn't mean you can't own a gun. Just that it would be heavily regulated and restricted to say small arms) we're not restricting people's right to protest against the government or organize against the government. Browder wasn't brought down by a scattered group of individuals defending against Browder from their homes, he was brought down by collective action of the people. That right is much more important than the right of owning a gun.

Ok then guns aren't really important.but we need MORE liberty,order and stopping the corruption first.then international order

Look is anyone willing to work with me to try and make a compromise bill on the whole gun issue?

You are in the wrong then. How about we try to make a compromise with the president to just regulate them.

You do realize the Norman Thomas believes this right? I highly doubt he plans on making sure that we can own guns by just having them highly regulated. This quote makes it obvious if he's elected we'll no longer be able to own any.

The only person who can clarify on this question is RT himself. The quote isn't as clear to me as it seems to you. Opposing the right to own firearms as a constitutional right is not the same as making the ownership of guns illegal per se. It seems to me more like he would bring in some element of Indian gun ownership laws which don't outlaw the ownership of guns but regulate it through grant of licenses. Also restricting the ownership of guns to small arms.

I'm fine with that. For starters anyone who wants to own a gun must pass a training and safety test to insure they know how to properly use their guns.

Norman Thomas wants to ban personal firearm possession. (Or I should say, not make it legal, as it was banned during the Browder Administration).
Eisenhower and Dewey both are willing to regulate it.

And there we have it. He wants to continue banning something that Browder banned!

Is that a blanket ban or only pertaining to certain kinds of firearms ?

How I feel about firearms is that they aren't really needed in the civilian's possession unless they have permission to have them by the government.

Also, I would vote for citizens to have their own guns when America is in serious danger, so it was hard for me to choose between Eisenhower and Thomas, but in the end I voted for Thomas.

Hmmm.. Let me study up on him a little bit more. As a pacifist and a protestant minister, I assume blanket ban.

Alright, I read up more on him, and yes, he wants to continue the ban on all private firearms.

He is also very anti-communist. Especially in this alternate history, where he was thrown in jail by them.

That's what permits and regulation are for. Thomas aims to make sure no one owns them and don't forget the it was Browder who made owning them illegal in the first place.
