It means it should not come to a choice between reckless, irresponsible gun ownership and no gun ownership
But that is exactly the choice you proposed, right?
And you selected no gun ownership, right?
So what does no gun ownership mean if it doesn’t mean to ban and confiscate all guns?
TBD. Ask me again when I have to make that choice.
You already made that choice.
Are you backing away from your choice?
I believe I said 'if' I had to choose. Something I can't envision having to do.
I guess you are a supporter of reckless, irresponsible gun ownership. How do you justify that?
Your logic is flawed on both points.
You already made your choice, so you don’t need to qualify your choice that you would only make that choice if you are forced to make that choice. Gun violence and gun accidents will continue to occur. So I am struggling to understand what will be different in the future that would compel you to change your choice. The answer is nothing. So your choice won’t change.
I am a huge supporter of responsible gun ownership. But I am not so naive to believe that gun violence and gun accidents will magically stop. We already have laws in place to discourage the unlawful use of firearms. So I see no reason whatsoever to punish peaceable law abiding citizens for the bad acts of others. So how does that make me a supporter of reckless irresponsible gun ownership?
