Dude, that’s a false choice. It seems your standard is zero gun violence and zero gun accidents. Anything less is reckless and irresponsible. That’s a false choice.It seems like you've already made your choice, are you backing away from it? Given the choice between reckless, irresponsible gun ownership and no gun ownership you do not appear to support no gun ownership so the only other option is reckless, irresponsible gun ownership.Your logic is flawed on both points.I believe I said 'if' I had to choose. Something I can't envision having to do.You already made that choice.TBD. Ask me again when I have to make that choice.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?
Are you backing away from your choice?
I guess you are a supporter of reckless, irresponsible gun ownership. How do you justify that?
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?
We are talking about 3 out of 100,000 people that are reckless and irresponsible.
That means that 99,997 people out of 100,000 are responsible.
So my point is that as a whole we are extremely responsible already.
