(8,155 posts)I believe we all have the right to effective medical care. But I understand that such a right requires resources and application. It possesses a cost, even if we address it from outside the bounds of capital. So it is through practice of such a right that we must also consider how to offset that cost.
Some would argue that the right to vote is immaterial. Others would argue that it is material. A similar issue exists with the right to possess firearms. The stating of the right, the belief in its existence, is immaterial. It is nothing more than a thought and thoughts are free. But the practice of such a right fundamentally incurs cost.
How would you like to pay for the 2nd amendment? And why do you think that the cost for practicing the right to own firearms must end at the point where we attempt to make such a practice safe?
