Well, what you got to ask yourself is how the war on drugs worked out.
I mean, alcohol prohibition didn't work out.
Drugs won the war on drugs.
Poverty is still putting poor people on the frontlines of the war on poverty.
Do you really expect that a war on guns will turn out any different?
How do you propose that gun owners be compelled to turn in their guns?
You gonna send men with guns to take them?
How doublethink of you.
In fact, are you really 'murican if you don't love guns?
Can you, with a straight face, sit there and tell me that guns solely in the hands of the 'legitimate' gov't would have led us to throw off King George?
Seriously?
The only freedom that exists in the world is the freedom you take on your own initiative.
If you don't roll through that stop sign, who will?
If you don't ride your bike without a helmet, who will?
Those that dare will be free, while you are busy being their best cop.
You don't even get free donuts??!!
One of the really difficult part of freedom is minding your own business.
If I ride my bike like a mad man, without a helmet, who are you to tell me to stop?
Why would you hire thugs to force me to stop?
At gunpoint!
Your idea of freedom is screwy, if you ask me.
And if you don't ask me, but I punch you in the nose for being a good little slave, you would think that I was wrong.
What is wrong with you?
Where did you get the idea that making me your slave was a good idea?
It is time for you to get that out of your mind.
You don't own me.
If I don't interfere in your tranquility directly, wtf are you doing paying thugs to make me put on a helmet.
If I were to punch you in the nose for paying your taxes and wearing your seatbelt, you would claim that I was wrong.
But, it is you that cause this by hiring your dirty work done.
You want somebody to put on a helmet?
Get your big boy britches on and make him, yourself.
Otherwise, stfu.
Don't just sit there in your comfy chair and try to dictate the deportment of others.
