Thom Hartmann: Time To Start Treating Guns Like Abortions

[thomhartmann]

The Supreme Court ruled that Americans have an individual right to bear arms - but they've also ruled that women have an individual right to access to safe abortions. So why don't we start regulating these two individual rights in the same way?

1. It would be great to have a transcript of this, so Thom's free speech could be amplified on gun control.

We justify the use graphic warning labels on cigarette packages because of the proven risk of death by possessing and using these inanimate objects as they were designed to be be used....but why not on guns - at least in some graphic way - a warning of the proven risk of possessing and using the inanimate GUN?

[-none]

2. Can you imagine the screaming and gnashing of teeth if they were required by law to have a warning

label on all their guns, warning of the deadly consequences their guns can and do cause?
That would be wonderful start to real gun control.
