This fellow uses the right to keep and bear arms
as an example of how rights are lost.
I think he totally makes sense.
A right you can't exercise is a right you no longer have. That's been
the approach of the gun-haters.
Nice straw man there, dude. Most people aren't for banning guns,
they're for stronger regulations surrounding their ownership and use.
Only because those same folks don't know the facts, which are
that there are thousands of gun laws on the books already and most
of them aren't being enforced. A good example being that you
have 40,000 people who illegally apply to buy a gun and fail the
required federal background check. Only 50 or so of them are prosecuted.
So, instead of passing more laws, how about we go find those 40 felons
and prosecute them?
Think of it as being akin to pushing for laws that place limits on
women's right to have abortions, or anyone's use of birth control. Or
pain medication, for that matter. You do realize there are people
advocating for the right of medical personnel to refuse to prescribe
or administer pain medication when it conflicts with their religious
beliefs? Yes, there are. It was a primary tenet of Mother Theresa, in
fact. She didn't provide it, because she felt suffering was part of
Gawd's plan.
I suffer every time I read stuff from you libs. Does that count?
