And where might this "unrestricted access to firearms by anyone else..." be found?

Another call for Prohibition 3.0, eh?

Was this even meant to make sense? Perhaps those are two unrelated, er, thoughts.

What I said was:

Who decides that your liberty to possess/tote whatever guns you take a fancy to is "essential" while the safety of millions of other people, which is jeopardized by unrestricted access to firearms by anyone else who takes a fancy, is "little" and "temporary"?

And what I said next was pretty obviously a statement that you know precisely where that is (and that I can't think why you would pretend otherwise, since pretending otherwise does not flatter you).

Because you know as well as I do that the "gun control" in existence in the USofA does not prevent anyone from acquiring a firearm, and in particular from acquiring firearms, the tool of choice for criminals and murderers.

Hence access to firearms in the US is plainly unrestricted.

All clear now?
