We can eradicate some cancers
we can eradicate guns
you seem to have mixed up that both are good things to strive for
you I think were citing "bad" people out there.
well, those people will always exist
but saving 1 or 2 or 10 or a million lives from legal and illegal guns can happen without anyone getting another gun
I don't believe in the radical rightwing court that interpreted the 2nd the way they did
same sort of court gave us corporate parenthood
wanting more guns to stop a gun is so wrong I can't count that high.
the old NRA talking points are old and stale.
This is 2012
We need to stop the killings by legal guns and then help those less fortunate to rise on the social ladder (the lower class is more important than the middle class which is more important than the upper class.
give the lower class something other than crime, and they no longer need the gun.
But first you gotta stop the LEGAL guns to later put a dent in illegal
IF all you are worried about is crime- well, more security OUTSIDE the perimeter of a hotel, theatre, restaurant, movie house, baseball stadium means we could keep ALL guns out, provided that those with legal guns are also not allowed to enter.
SEE the problem?
It's the LEGAL guns that stop getting rid of the illegal ones.
It is so clear.
but then "some see what they want to see and disregard the rest"
But in just 2 posts I tore down every single NRA talking point
You can have your guns, inside your home (but make sure you alert anyone who may not want to enter your home that you have one.) I myself would not choose to enter a home where if we argue a political hot topic (like guns or abortions, someone in the fit of rage uses that gun against me, legal as it is.)(then says they were defending themselves.)
You can collect guns, you can go to a shooting range.
But you don't need to have a gun on your possession in the restaurant I am eating at and then accidentally a child gets hurt, or something happens.
I don't want you thinking you will save my life.
(that is what GOOD police are for (not though bad cops).
Long as you keep ALL (legal and illegal) guns out of a place, then no one gets shot.
How much simpler can it be?
Meek Mayor Mike is the NY Mayor who announced 3 days ago he is giving and starting a new pac and giving 8 figures (that means 10-99 MILLION dollars, which will compete against the NRA should he choose, and gun is something he is against.
(as he no longer is running for any office, he is immune to campaigning himself, but now other candidates will have someone protecting their back and not cowering in fear of the bully NRA
imho
again-simple as A B C. Get the legal guns out of the outsides, and bring them only inside your own home, and then we can get rid of illegal guns.
It is like cigarettes-there was NO need to get rid of cigarette companies. Just make people stop smoking outside, showing them cigs are so bad, and they also stop smoking inside.
Cig. companies still exist, but most people no longer smoke.
