42. history of irresponsible actions endangering others

Thu Feb 28, 2013, 12:54 AM

Feb 2013

Anyone with a history of irresponsible actions that endanger others shouldn't be trusted among our children and other loved-ones with a gun. That's the point of regulating the bad guys' right to be armed with tools of death. A drunk driver is a proven irresponsible bad guy. Bad guys shouldn't have guns. This law suspends the bad guy's ability to legally own a gun. Only someone that is being purposefully deceitful or willfully immoral would percieve this law as a threat to the rights of responsible gun owners. The NRA is not a friend of the American people or the constitution; please stop parroting NRA talking points and narratives. It just underscores the insanity and hypocrisy of the gun fetish culture.
