Michelle Obama, they're called "rights" for a reason

Your analogy isn't even reasonable.

"If it weren't for our rights, the government could encase us all in bubble-wrap, forbid us from using scissors with pointy ends, outlaw the consumption of alcohol (and soda, and coffee, and...), and treat us all as though we had just stepped into third grade." -- This is ridiculous. NO ONE is even proposing this.

And saying sensible, rational gun control legislation -- yes, you still get to keep guns even though you are NOT part of a well-regulated militia -- is a slippery slope that leads us there is as idiotic as the GOP's claim that same-sex marriage will lead to people marrying dogs and turtles.

Nearly all of your rights are regulated in some fashion or another. Why are guns so damn sacred?

And why does that right trump a child's right to pursue life, liberty and happiness. Child worship, my ass. OMFG, we are going to act as if children are entitled to life. What is the world coming to?!?!?
