Letterman Throws Down on Guns: 'For the Love of Christ! When Are We Gonna Do Something?'

[Oakenshield]

67. My point was Jenoch shared a right wing talking point.

If that makes you uncomfortable, you should avoid sharing it. Such an argument has been used for guns, and also to attack people like Michael Moore and Warren Buffet. "He criticizes the wealthy...isn't he wealthy? What a hypocrite hurr durr."

Moving on, if you're going to use the word "potential" then explain how Letterman could "potentially" be a hypocrite...because right now all you have is a baseless accusation.

So, because gun control failed to stop the recent shooting in CA we should consider if gun control works at all? Look even if gun control advocates achieved everything they wanted, eliminating gun violence entirely would be impossible. What we can do is work at making those instances of gun-violence as rare as possible. That's what gun-control is about.

That the law-abiding gun owner might be inconvenienced is just par for the course. Would I like to avoid going to the DMV every few years to get my license renewed? Of course I would, but I understand that the system makes the road safer for everyone. Gun control regulations are the same way.

With that said, why should we put the Hughes Amendment back on the table? Why should citizens have access to fully automatic firearms? As for concealed and carry, I'm happy with leaving that up to the individual state to decide.
