What in my arguments for rational gun control is incorrect or dishonest or made badly?
The arguments against me have been mostly emotional and disregard the history of gun controls which existed for most of our nation's history. The majority of posts by those opposed to all controls on guns are limited to personal attacks on my intelligence or character.
Thus I've decided the CZ may be the only place for an honest discussion on gun control.
I'm not the least bit intimidated by those obsessed with guns, who have no argument other than: The 2nd Amendment is sacrosanct, their fear of tyrannical government and their (irrational?) fears of going out in public unarmed.
I've taken on the first wo with reasoned remarks which have never been proved wrong.
1. There are already laws against the civilian population owning or having in their possession weapons of war unrestricted by law and or regulated.
Thus the Second Amendment is NOT sacrosanct as so many believe.
2. Only an idiot believes the possession of arms readily affordable and available to the current civilian population are sufficient to repeal a military or para military force of our government.
We live in a time when the government is temporary, and the people (at least those allowed to vote) can choose the civilian population who govern us, and control our military and para military agencies.
[THE GREATER THREAT TO OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES IS WHEN THE VOTE IS SUPPRESSED BY OVERT OR COVERT MEANS - BETTER TO WORRY ABOUT THE IMPACT ON OUR LIBERTY BY THE REALITY OF CU & McCUTCHEON V. FEC AND THE CURRENT EFFORTS BY SOME STATES TO LIMIT THE RIGHT TO VOTE BASED ON THE CANARD OF VOTER FRAUD]
Further more gun control does not outlaws guns, it regulates them. Licensing, registration and restrictions on specific forms of arms are already on the books. And yet loopholes exists, obviously, given who have had guns in their possession legally, and the horrors that they have inflicted in Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Colorado, etc. etc.
3. I support a licensed person who can pass a background check and thereafter remains legally able to be a responsible gun owner has the right to own, possess and have in their custody and control a gun.
4. Responsible people understand that not everyone should own, possess or ever have a gun in their custody or control.
So, responsible people, any ideas?
First of all it's unreasonable to assume gun owners want to take on the government
SO start with reasonable premises
I didn't make that up, the fear of the government is one of the most common arguments for the need for the 2nd A.
Not really
