Quote:I wouldn't conceed a single new gun law in exchange for eliminating 100% of gun violence. Not a single one.

 

Eric, do you consider RPGs or missiles arms? If not, why not? I am not trying to grill you, and I think you can find statements from me regarding my concerns about limiting gun rights. But my perspective also takes into account what Indy2Jax  said. I am just not really seeing how useful your AK is in this hypothetical defense. Yet you value that more than the annual loss of lives  of thousands, and injury to 60 or 70 thousand more. I am not sure if that was hyperbole on your part. Maybe I am being too literal. But my immediate thought flashes to a (ridiculously unlikely) hypothetical scenario, where we pass the exact same 'Assault Rifle' ban that was on the books a few years ago for the next ten years. To me, net result 10 years later upon its lapsing is maybe 60000 fewer deaths, several hundred thousand few injuries, and ten years of lost sales of  'Assault Rifles' or whatever name you wish to use. If I considered such a hypothetical possible, I would have to think about it. But it sounds like you would reject it out of hand, even if you believed it would result in what I said. Am I being inaccurate in my understanding?
