Reply #27: Gun control wouldn't be so much an issue if certain groups were not pushing

[hansberrym]

for bans, and denying an individual right to bear arms through blatantly dishonest argument. It is that denial that causes so much of the trouble as it shows that the gun control side of the debate is not acting in good faith, and so is not to be trusted.

Take the DC situation as an example. What they have there is hardly gun control -it is an outright ban on keeping functional firearms. No wonder the shit sometimes hits the fan.

The vast majority of states have protection for the individual right to bear arms written into their constitutions and still manange to have lots of gun control laws (i.e. restrictions on how guns can be stored and carried, and lots of penalties for misuse of firearms).


Hopefully the Supreme Court will rule for an individual right while allowing for reasonable restrictions, and the issue will be removed from the Presidential race.
