If every citizen has a right to own a gun then why do we put age limits on who can purchase guns? Why do we have any laws at all pertaining to guns if it is our god given right endowed by our creator? Hell just let any kid walk into a store and buy one and if they do something bad then we can have them deal with the consequences afterward, right?
Ah, the argument from absurdity. The leftists here love that one. I think a reasonable person much less a "100% Republican" would know why we don't let "any kid walk into a store and buy one."
When I say I am good with tougher background checks for buying a gun all I am saying is that if someone does have a history of being mentally ill or violent in their past (felony or not) then I think that a gun store owner should have access to that information and based upon that they can refuse to sell to that individual.
They do. Already.
Not all Republicans are 100% throw guns to every single person regardless of who they are and what they can do with them.
Another one. No one ever said that not implied it.
Personally walking into a restaurant last week seeing the 40-50 something year old trash of an individual walking around with his old school revolver posted on his side that responded to the cashier "My Mom is paying"....god given right or not doesn't give me much hope for only the competent good guys having access to any type of weaponry.
Well, it's a good thing you're not deciding, based upon your first and superficial contact with an indivdual you know nothing else about, who has rights and who doesn't.
I apologize for upsetting you, but I can't ignore that some of the same things you said in the post of yours that I quoted have gotten us to this very position in the history of this country. At some point we have to stop giving up and giving in to pressure to add more laws that only hurt law abiding citizens simply because the people in enforcement aren't doing (or allowed to do) their jobs. Appeasement doesn't work, and all of us should know that by now. If our history hasnt already demonstrated that enough, then world history should tell us that.
