Quote:I just don't think it's fair to say people that want to have stricter laws in place are demonizing the 2nd Amendment. I have never nor would ever advocate for the outright banning of guns. Were that even practical it's just not American at heart. What I do not get is the vehement opposition to even discussion of the matter.


If I can be hyperbolic for a moment. You say no restrictions on weapons. Is it just guns? What about explosives? Say bombs. And if ever one should have the right to those weapons, what gives us the right to attempt to stop other nations from obtaining them? This is the perspective I have and why I don't understand the inclination to not even discuss the matter.

Because every time the left wants a conversation about something it gets worse. We've talked about gun restrictions for a century now and more gun laws are repeatedly proven to equal more crime. But its always "we need to do more" with those people; more laws, more money, more programs. And all it does is make things worse.
