[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't particularly care how many successful cases of "defensive gun use" there are because [b]*I* (and in my opinion no normal person) will ever "defensively" use a gun.[/b] So why should I care? I don't want to live in the Wild West, I want to live in a civilized country. Just like gun nuts are willing to manifest the type of society they want to live in, so am I. Not one in which people are running around "defending" themselves with guns. More likely they are just terrorizing others.[/quote] Your sentence structure is nonsensical here. I just want to point out that I will never get an abortion. Should I not care about that as a right? (First-time poster on this thread.)[/quote] If you have an abortion that does not impact me, that’s your body. If you insist that getting into a shootout at Walmart is “defensive gun use” and that’s how our country should function, that indeed affects me. There is no “right” for every person to have any gun at any time. The second amendment is pretty clearly about militias and the deranged Supreme Court precedent that put us on this path should be overturned.[/quote] The right to self defense is a natural right that preexists any human law; the right to the efficacious means of self defense is a corollary to that right, and likewise depends on no human law. If you did any research beyond parroting the nonsense you’ve been fed, you’d know that the Framers considered private ownership, possession, carriage and use of firearms do ordinary as hardly to be worth mention. But they included it anyway because of the British attempting to disarm colonists much as you’d like to do to other people now. [/quote]
