Showing Original Post only (View all)If owning a gun is a right, should guns be subsidized for the low income? [View all]
I think many here would agree that a sizeable percentage of the people most in need of a gun for self and home defense are those who live in inner city areas with high crime and unemployment rates.
However, those very same people are often too poor to be able to afford to purchase a good quality gun, attend a safety class, buy ammo, and go to a gun range to practice and where they'd need to purchase more ammo.

I can't afford cable or satellite. Netflix at $7.99 a month is the best I can do.

It's already been done - the Arm the Homeless campaign. Results were hilarious.

The right to own something doesn't mean a right to have someone else pay for it
