Yes, you are right, I am naive about this massive conspiracy to strip 60% of America it’s guns… wait, or just 20%…
But let’s just assume there is this conspiracy in play, then gun ownership then is equal to patriotism. I should thank you for your patriotic defense of my liberty then. what about the victims of gun violence? Just martyrs who died for our freedom…[/quote]
I’m very much in favor of the Three Strikes law and other “tough on crime” measures, though it could possibly use some modification where offenders are known to be non-violent. We need to get violent criminals off the streets, period. I have no mercy for violent offenders. That would go much further than banning guns if the protection of innocent lives is our first concern (as it is mine — and this is one of the primary reasons I support the right to bear arms).
