Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: OK, here are some suggestions without impeding 2A rights. [View all]tortoise1956
(671 posts)Let me explain what I meant.
There are those on both sides who have no interest in compromise at all. Examples:
"Take everyone's guns away!"
" I have a right to walk down the street with a bazooka!"
They may be sincere in their beliefs, but all they really accomplish is to provide ammo for the other side to use as objecty examples. They're also not living in the real world.
I see it this way:
1. You will never get rid of all the guns in our society while the second amendment stands.
2. The chances of repealing the second amendment are vanishingly small.
3. This is an excellent time for advocates of gun control to get some incremental changes implemented.
4. The longer they wait, the less chance there is of accomplishing anything.
5. If they aren't willing to compromise, they won't get anything done.
And none if this will matter if we don't move to deal with the issue of mental health care. Crazy people will always find some way to hurt others if they want to badly enough.
I hope this answers your questions.
