Gun-maker airlifts 20,000 extended magazines into Colorado ahead of ban

28. Unlike gun nuts

I respect the law. It is what it is. I don't advocate breaking it because I don't like what it says, like your gunner friends. You have Scalia and Roberts to thank for guaranteeing an individual right to bear arms. Thanks to the Federalist Society, your "rights" are more important than everyone else's.

So yes, I wish we did not have a country where too many value their "right" to amass any and every weapon they want over the right of the rest of our right to live. In fact, I wish they recognized that we have a right to live, but they do not. They care only about their own ability to have their own personal arsenal so they can be ready to kill at a moments notice. Anyone who cares about human life would wish we had a different country, but some relish the fact that our society is based on violence and corporate profit. I am not one of them. I wish I could share this country with people who cared more about social justice and human life more than corporate profits, material acquisition, and the deadly culture of violence they have worked so diligently to create. Sadly I do not.

I also wish we had universal healthcare and a fair wage for all Americans. I know that is inconsequential compared to your desire to have assault weapons and 150 round drums, but that doesn't stop me from wishing we had a society where compassion and humanity took precedence over profit and death. Instead. we have the most violent society in the First World. The gun lobby has worked hard to create this blood drenched society.

Call me radical in caring about human life if that makes you happy. I have no problem living with my positions. They don't result in 38,000 homicides each and every year.
