I have guns. I have not stated that guns should be outlawed. I have stated that I do not know the best way to have any controls on guns. Some ideas sound OK. I am not the idea man-I really have no dogs in this fight.
Some folks' reasoning for having guns sound to me to be a bit silly.
Actually, even though I find the idea of an armed takeover of our government by our armed populace to be batshit nuts, I must admit that, according to my reading of the 2nd amendment, this is the ONLY reason we are afforded that right. So this is not necessarily an incorrect interpretive reasoning, even though I think it silly in this day and age and country and society.
