Finally, intelligent gun regulations

[SmarterthanYou]

Why is gun insurance a bad idea? Comparing it to a poll tax, really?

you don't see the equivalency of charging a fee, license, or tax for a protected constitutional right?

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

How will that stop shootings?

Are gang bangers going to purchase the gun insurance?

Do you purchase automobile insurance? WHY?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Our young citizens, so far, don’t seem to be enamored with guns the way previous generations who haven’t had to have active shooter drills in school are.

all free nations eventually die due to apathy and stupidity of its younger generations...........why should we be any different

Complacency is a killer. Same for a failure to support the rights of others. After 1/6, I hope you are including Boomers and Gen Xers in that "younger generation".

Then let's tax abortions. Make it harder to get abortion s the fewer abortions there will be. It also works for obesity which is a.l major health problem. Less access to food less obesity, that's why Brandon wants emoty shelves in the supermarket

a more correct and equivalent version of that would be to make all forms of sex under the age of 18 illegal, then when a person turns 18 they must have a license to have sex and pay a pregnancy liability fee that funds abortions.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

You only have rights if you have a government willing to uphold them.

incorrect. we have our rights. we can only retain them if we the people are willing to fight for them. our government has not only consistently failed to uphold and protect them, they've gone out of their way to negate them by brainwashing everyone in to believing that no right is absolute.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I would say yes, but no measures stop all deaths, just like armed citizens can’t stop all crimes.

amazingly, neither do armed government agents..............but you want to force defenselessness on citizens and not government

 

[SmarterthanYou]

No, it’s just being realistic, you can run around thinking your rights come from the Creator, until a group of armed persons show up at your door and take you away.

but you approve of that kind of rights denial, don't you?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

At times they do, do you actually believe people who own guns stop all crime?

do you actually believe that government agents stop all crime?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I don’t believe owning a gun is necessary for safety. I have never owned a gun to protect myself.

when a crime is occurring or has happened, who do you call? someone with a GUN!!!!!!!!!!! so your beliefs appear to be very misguided and naive

 

[SmarterthanYou]

How is this even about the rich? Get your empty head out of your asshole.

what part of his premise about fees and taxes against rights favor the rich are you not understanding?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

There is no CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HAVE A CAR, OR TO DRIVE.

there is, and there is, it's just being denied with the approval of apathetic idiots

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I don't recall anyone ever giving away free guns to the poor, do you? If you're poor and want a gun, you can expect to pay for it, and its ammo too. Consider the insurance just a price hike.

so you approve of making it impossible for poor people to exercise their rights. got it

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Sorry, but guns are not an unalienable human right. They're merely something granted in the Constitution's 2nd amendment, which can be changed at any time.

right to arms is not GRANTED in the 2nd Amendment. the 2nd denies the federal government any power over them

 

[SmarterthanYou]

No, it's not.

every founding father considered the right of self preservation a natural and unalienable right. are you smarter than they were?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

It may be, but having to have a gun to do such isn't

go ask a cop if he/she should be denied their right to defend themselves against a raging ax murderer armed with a knife

 

[Truth Detector]

what part of his premise about fees and taxes against rights favor the rich are you not understanding?

Run along anarchist. Life's too short for our special brand of ignorant.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

What "right," oh, the Government's Constitutional authority to legislate gun regulation for starters, and of course you have yours, you are scared stiff some kid wearing a hoodie is going to walk down your street some day

the government has no authority to do that. just because YOU approve of it, doesn't make it legal.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

It is? Where? And even if it did, where does it say that right can't be regulated?

You are interpreting the Second Amendment the way you want it to read

no, YOU are interpreting the Constitution the way YOU want it to be read

 

[SmarterthanYou]

It was regulated as are most things in a civil society.

wrong. It is the absolute height of stupidity to believe that the people who had just fought and won their war for independence against a government that tried to confiscate/regulate their arms would grant their new central government that same power.............
