Gun Control: Democrats Only

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I look at this from a TOTALLY different perspective.

I would never want a gun, I would never understand why a person would want the RESPONSIBLITY of having a lethal weapon.

Just because something is a "right" doesn't mean you don't have to have controls.

What, for the love of God, is wrong with a personal gun licence and the registration of firearms??

Give me an argument besides constitutional rights - because that is barely passable to me as it is.

Yes, snotty foreigner... I know.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Why do you aussies and euros always assumev thatj ust because it exists that the divine state has a god given right to control it?

My concern is nothing to do with the state having control - my conern is that I don't want just anyone having contact with a lethal weapon... call me stupid. 

Maybe because we don't believe that something written more than two hundred years ago (for the political realities of 200 years ago) is akin to the divine right that so many link to this right. Even most people on here admit that the actual need for this right to exist doesn't really exist... but because the right is there....?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

No, I want NO ONE to own guns (but that's just me - I understand that), this has nothing to do with class, elitism etc etc.

If people are going to have them - as it is a responsibility as much as a right - what fear do people have in having a gun licence and registering firearms? Does that remove the right?

I don't care where you live, how much you earn, who you vote for.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

That's a VERY old argument - guns only have one function, to blast holes in things - usually to kill.

Bricks, knives, planks of wood, cars etc etc... all have other uses.

I don't feel the need to play games - I am honest in my feelings toward guns - and as Bono said the burden is on those who want to change things - but on this issue there is a huge chasm between either side.
