last week, my right to a weapon and james holmes' right to a weapon were the same right
the problem of the rights of good people vs limits on bad action does not come from gun control advocates
the problem is that modern weapons antiquate the 2nd amendment
every banned weapon is exemplary of that
a 2nd amendment absolutist will argue in the abstract and hypothetical
in the real world, mad people often run amok
death at the twitch of a finger is too much power to give anyone who would use it selfishly
or carelessly
it is unfortunate that includes most of us not duty bound to carry
repeated mass murder is an outrage. outrage will grow
ostensibly reasonable inertia in the face of outrage will get an opposite reaction
please decide on a standard kill toy that does not kill the fuck out of crowds of people
and do not allow possession of anything else, even if that standard must be the .22 derringer
or else
i feel like humpty dumpty with alice

I haven't figured out yet if I'm a 'gun rubber' or a 'gun grabber' :) - n/t coalition_unwilling Jul 2012 #8
I have a nice broadsword. It is unwise to rub or grab it. No guns anymore. Too complicated. freshwest Jul 2012 #12
