Why we can't allow ANY sort of ban on ANY weapon is simple:


If you allow it once, this sets the precedence to allow it
again in the future. If we allow a ban on ( insert scary item
of the day here ) today, when the violence continues afterwards,
( and it most assuredly will ) they'll simply go after the next
scary item on the list. Wash, rinse and repeat.

In the end there will be nothing left to take.


I get a chuckle out of the gun manufacturers refusing to do
business with State governments if they adopt completely ridiculous
gun control laws. I fully agree with them.

If the law abiding citizens cannot own them, then neither should
law enforcement or government employees. If they protest that the
criminals will still have them so the police should too, then they
make my point perfectly. Gun laws don't impact criminals in the
slightest bit. The laws only serve to restrict legal owners.



You either stand up for your rights, or they will simply take them
from you. It's your choice.


This. The only problem I see here Daye, is really simple. You're argument can make perfect logical sense, and it will still be ignored.

As someone new to long term relationships, I am just discovering the amazing way that arguments can happen over anything. I'm also learning that I could have a perfect, logical, well reasoned argument and "lose" because she says so.

Its the same in this arena. The two parties are like a married couple. Only now instead of only someone that's ignorant you have to deal with people who know and don't car, because there is no way a person with even just a high school education could think that any law at all could stop a criminal from hurting you.

STUBS!
