One Photograph, Two Bullets, And 26 Reasons We Need To Take Action For Newtown, Connecticut

168. But you have never stated what your final goal was. ...

I also explained that I would have no problem with your opinion if you seriously believed that all firearms should be banned and confiscated. That is the exact opposite of the view of some gun owners that firearms should be unregulated. I happen to disagree with both positions and am in between. That does not make me right by any means.

Perhaps you feel that I am a zealot but you probably have no knowledge of my views. I actually agree with most of the ideas purposed by Obama today.

You accuse me of being paranoid but I have a absolutely no fear that "jack booted thugs" are going to show up on my doorstep to confiscate my firearms in my lifetime.

Look, if you honestly support banning all civilian owned firearms why just not admit it. We have been going back and forth for a long time now without insulting each other which is somewhat unusual today on DU when discussing the gun control issue. I doubt that anyone would have taken the effort to follow our sub tread to this point.

But perhaps you are not in favor of disarming all citizens but somewhere in between. That's what is interesting to me.

I often see posts that say that Obama's ideas are a good first step and I wonder what goals such posters are actually hoping for.

If you really believe that your ideas are the way our country should move toward to stop gun violence, I feel that you should be willing to defend them. Perhaps if they are so weak that you unwilling to state them you should consider revising them.

I have my own views and have been more than willing to debate them. Since I started posting on DU I have realized that my prior views had faults so I changed them.
