we have thousands of laws on the books in regard to guns, why should I think 1 more is going to make a difference?

Have to love these "You should not have a voice unless your words echo my beliefs" threads. I might not have agreed with Joe the Plumber, but good Lord he damn sure had a right to speak out for his beliefs. So does this kid.
The irony, though, is that he enjoys free use of his rights to try to subvert mine.

All I am detecting from this thread, and other similar threads, is fear. Fear that your "natural order" might be coming to and end. Fear that people like you will no longer dictate how the rest of the country acts. Fear that your carefully crafted lies are finally unravelling.
Would you be concerned if censorship was on the rise?
Just curious.
Because Americans see the 2nd Amendment as a right. A Constitutionally guaranteed right.
And we have people that are trying to remove/restrict that right.
Is it only gun rights that you seem okay with destroying? How about the rights to free expression?
Would you be okay with that right being gone as well?
You first have to be alive for the 2nd Amendment to mean anything.
That's what the kids are concerned about.
Does the 2nd trump the right to live?
No, because the 2nd does not give the right to kill people outside defence. It certainly does trump the right to live if that life is trying to end yours.
Wrong application.
Your right to live trumps the right to live of someone trying to kill you.
This actually illustrates exactly why we have a right to bear arms. Well done.
What do you think those children protesting are trying to do, by the way?
They can't legally keep and bear arms in schools to defend themselves.
They're trying to get semi-auto rifles and standard capacity magazines banned, which will do nothing to stop school shootings. I'm not proposing arming the students. Not in high schools anyway.
Oh, I forgot they also want background checks expanded to gun shows and private transfers, despite not being able to provide one example of a mass shooter who acquired a gun from either of those sources.
Care to provide a citation for this,
Or are you just making this up to make yourself feel better?
Are you honestly unaware of what they were marching for?
The 3 things I mentioned are literally the 3 things they want you to sign their petition for.
You represent the gun control movement well. Uninformed is the only way to be over there.
We support the right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms, as set forth in the United States Constitution
