(26 posts)There is an clear definition of extreme: 'Reaching a high or the highest degree; very great: "extreme cold".' In this case I'm using it in the context of being something that would eliminate a political candidate for me, as well as the context already given: "Unless a court has removed your right, after a fair trial, to carry a firearm, we hold that the 2nd Amendment allows you to carry one for any reason." (Additional context: PP advocates the *legal* carry of firearms. That means if laws are in place, even though they may be unconstitutional, they should be followed.)
The problem, IMnsHO, is that there is no such thing as "common sense gun control". As an example, you show a video of someone committing a FELONY under current law. I call your red herring what it is, a red herring.
Since concealed carry has become legal, violent crime rates have dropped. Even in Chicago, where it is still banned, as it is now legal to keep a firearm in the home.
We can agree to disagree, but that doesn't I have to be silent about such outrageous statements that lead to more victim disarmament zones that leave yet more people dead. Look into the school shootings *before* Columbine...
