22. "You don't have to right to avoid ills."

Thu Jan 24, 2013, 10:17 PM

Are you unfamiliar with the guarantee to "the pursuit of happiness"?

Of course I have the right to AVOID ills -- so do you -- we just don't have the guarantee they won't find us anyway.

USING your gun in any of those situations is already a felony, so why heap more regulation on top of what is already there? Unless your motivation has nothing to do with preventing felonies.
