Quote:

Alcohol and vehicles kill way more people in the US than firearms.





Of course they do, Mac. Private swimming pools too, I think. But the point is this.
The primary purpose of a firearm is to shoot it at someone (or, perhaps, at something).
The primary person of the other killers is something very different in each case.

Quote:


You can demonize me all ya want, I do not care, I cannot and will not give up my God-given right to be a free man.

And there is a period on the end of the above sentence.





That’s fine with me, and very much as I suspected – we’re not dealing with rational argument here but something that goes far deeper.

I still don’t altogether see:
- how being able to shoot a small piece of metal at another human being is a synonym for freedom
- how a Right enshrined in an Act passed by the US Congress in 1791 was actually conferred by God

…but I’m working on it.
