(331 posts)We disagree on the extent to which the individual right to keep and bear arms should be regulated. Notice I am not arguing for the ability to carry in a government building or a school, only that those inside be provided security because they are disarmed. Neither am I arguing for business owners to be forced to accept armed patrons. And I am definitely not arguing for a right to carry shoulder launched surface to air missiles, only those weapons in "common use at the time." It would seem that my position is firmly aligned with the Heller decision.
So of the two of us, one is arguing for the ability of proprietors to choose with whom they will do business, and the other is arguing for an institutionalized limit on which customers are and are not allowed.
I'm beginning to think you only read the first couple lines of my posts, but in case you made it this far I'd like to repose my questions. Perhaps the third time really the charm.
Why is "no guns while intoxicated" not enough?
And what is your definition of threatened (or in other words, what level of threat justifies the use of lethal force)?
