Subject: Re: You are your own first responder
So you are willing to argue for stopping the gun control movement as soon as the 2A crowd agrees to a ban on MSR's. If you are, I don't think your progressive friends would agree.
You're right, I wouldn't. I also think regulations of some things can be very complicated. If I argued for 'Stop Lights', does that mean I shouldn't also argue for speed limits?
Assault rifles should be banned, as they were in the 90's (when mass shootings took place half as often), but there are other 'gun safety' issues that ought to be addressed. Every gun owner should have to take a gun safety course at least once, just as you have to pass a driver's test to get a driver's license. Is that unreasonable for a potentially deadly instrument?
I also believe the gun show exemption on sales should be eliminated. If you want a gun, buy it from a store, period. I'm also happy to say I would advocate for harsher penalties for indiscriminate use of guns among gangs and other miscreants, for possession by felons, etc. I'm generally against 'cop killer' bullets, too.
You see? You're right. Just not that I want to 'take away your guns', which is the lie you've been fed - and swallowed - all this time. (PS: Which of those rules I propose do you find objectionable? And why?)
