You guys understand that supporting gun control policies does not mean people are against all guns, right?
The rhetoric nowadays borders on stupid.
I am not a scholar, but I THINK the words say "A well REGULATED militia".
That would appear to say they INTENDED that there be gun control: regulations.
I understand that there are those fearful people who believe that there is a movement to disarm them in order to gain political control over them.
The irony is, if these people would simply be more tolerant of those different from them in the first place, there would be no movement to disarm them.
When you have BOTH lots of guns AND express lots of intolerence, YOU give huge power to those who wish to take your guns away.
Ironic, but simple fact.
Stop hating and you can keep your guns. It really is just that simple.
One irony is, whites dragged blacks here from Africa in the first place, now hate them and want to kill them?
Maybe does not make a lot of sense?
It also might help if you didn't elect a CRIMINAL such as Oliver North to represent you in the NRA.
Does not help your credibiltiy. If you are represented by a liar, perjurer, who is going to believe that you are law abiding citizens?
Just saying.
Oh, and as for "self defense"? That concept is rather shaky.
Wouldn't you say that it tends to be the person who shoots FIRST wins?
Shoots first and kills you.
That is the criminal.
Too late to pull out your "self defense gun" when he long ago came up and shot you.
So......you really want NO gun restrictions?
The one who shoots first should be able to get a gun with none of the REGULATION the constitution calls for?
Really?
And how do you account for the Statistical Fact that a person having a "self defense" weapon
is FAR more likely to be shot by Their Own Weapon than to shoot an intruder?
Just does not make sense. Maybe because your attitude is NOT based upon logic, but upon FEAR AND HATE AND INTOLERANCE.
Maybe if you got to know people you would not have to fear them shooting you?
Maybe if there were genuine economic justice, no one would have a motivation to commit crime?
Maybe if the fraudulent War On Drugs stopped, there would be zero profit motive in drugs any more, no more criminal control of drugs, therefore no more drug related violence?
Maybe if there were genuine social justice, no one would have a motivation to commit hate crime?
Maybe if you did not send the CIA and Coroprations and Christians and Soldiers to Invade their country and kill their people
they would not be so inclined to hate you and Blow Up Buildings and the Pentagon?
Study something besides your own rhetoric for a change.
Study the long horrific history of crimes committed by Ameria, especially the CIA.
