Reply #106: Gun regulations are also not the same thing as gun BANS.

[beevul]

When a party, a group, or an individual steps up and proposes, backs, or enacts a BAN, it will not be seen as regulation by the people it effects. It will be seen as what it IS. A BAN. And those people doing the proposing, backing or enacting will not be seen as people trying to regulate. They will be seen as banners. And rightly so.

Whether it violates second amendment rights or not, it throws a wrench in the works, and prevent things like national health care, social safety net, protection of choice for women, and allows for things like our military invading foreign countries, killing thousands of human beings in iraq, the needless death of thousands of soldiers, and a host of other things that noone hereabouts finds any too pleasant.
