So are you saying that former Chief Justice Warren Burger is being dishonest when he said that The Second Amendment doesnt guarantee the right to have firearms at all, Mr. Burger said in a speech. In a 1991 interview, Mr. Burger called the individual rights view one of the greatest pieces of fraud I repeat the word fraud on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. - If we can't change anything, why even have elections?
2. I think your whole argument about the gun industry ignores the entire reaction to the assault weapons ban, which many acknowledge here lead to a dramatic increase in attempts on behalf of the gun industry to sell things such as modification kits to get around the regulations. Is nobody responsible for what they sell in this country?
3. So all the political cartoonists and critics are wrong about the nature of this debt? If you believe that, you're selling a bill of goods, of deceits and distortions. Two wrongs don't make a right. I was immediately received with disrespect. People are tired of the violence, if you can't understand their outrage there is no sense in us having further discussions.
I suggest you consult: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_arguments_of_gun_politics_in_the_United_States#Logical_Pitfalls_in_the_Gun-Violence_Debate - that is the only evidence I have seen from the pro-gun side that on average guns protect people and reduce crime.
