    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free Cake...you can't have it and eat it too. You assert that rights are based on majority rules and that there are no universals. Yet you claim that enslaved Africans were somehow being deprived of rights not given to them by the government of...

    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free Are you saying it is universally evil? If the majority and government said it was acceptable to hold another person as a slave, then that means they did not have that right in the first place and it is justifiable. What rights were being denied?

    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free Had he been discussing modern day slavery, I would agree that it is rationalization. Since the discussion dealt with early American slavery, and we have determined it was not evil at that point in history, it was not rationalization of an...

    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free Why does it need rationalization. It was lawful and not at all evil at that time apparently. Of course modern day slavery is evil now because the majority and the government say so.

    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free But it was not evil then therefore no reason to rationalize it. It is only thought to be evil now because the majority says so... apparently it was not evil at that period of time so barring universal rights, he was correct.

    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free Odd statement. So how did permitting CCW cause the mass shooting in Vegas? Weird suggestion. Mass shootings are vastly more likely to occur with weapons you personally own. Your supposition is empty and baseless.

    Re: If gun control worked Mexico would be crime free I know you don't bud. It is abhorrent. But the belief that the power of the government and will of the majority is uber alles is just as dangerous a premise as any theocracy or dictatorship.
