Really hypocritical that you expect people to value your rights, when you don't value theirs, or at least respect that their views may be different, but it is their Right to have them.
My valued rights don't kill people.
Also, interesting first post to the forum. Long time listener first time caller?
people breaking the law are the ones killing people. Seems like you aren't making that distinction. Someone exercising that Right lawfully is harmless.
Does our Right to vote mean we are at fault for criminal politicians? It is an act of their own free will. You and I didn't do anything wrong.

Call me skeptical of motives, but I'll bite.
I think my kids have a right to go to school and not fear being targeted by radicalized white supremacists.
I think THAT right supercedes the inconvenience of registering your guns.
I am not going to go beyond this. If we cannot agree that our kids have priority, this discussion is over.

New account, just a year old. So who are you hiding behind a new account?

Grew up in a clannish Boston area neighborhood, anytime a new face showed up in one of the local dive bars the place would go silent - sorrta' like in those old westerns.
We've become that neighborhood.

OWC server hick-up. If you look way back when manually, page by page, you can see my posts, but you can't search for them. :dunno:

Eh, to some degree a newcomer is an event...but a different introduction would get a different reception.

We disagree.

No need to introduce myself, been a member here for over 14 years. Please look manually around the spring of 2009 for example since a "stranger" breeds so much distrust in you.
A number of people here have had account issues and had to re-register. The account was deleted and re-registered by OWC. The suspicious natures here sure breeds insularity.

As is our Right. But so is my Right the bear arms. Please feel free to LEGALLY attempt to change the laws, as long as no one's Constitutional Rights are violated.
It seems to me a lot here subscribe to the ends justify the means, as long as the Rights violated aren't yours, and you don't value them. How very far right Republican of you all.

Actually, twice as many mass shooters are democrats as compared to Republicans although to be clear, more mass shooters have no political or religious alignment than both parties combined.
