A system that is perceived as unfair.

Only by people who are jealous or idiots.

Obviously not the complete answer, but one is a step in the right direction while the other is a step in the wrong direction.
You happen to be stepping in the wrong direction.

History proves that the type of weapons available has no bearing on societal peace.

Depends on the teenage friends.

lol.....let's assume you do not know all of them well. (nor does your teenage child - even though they may think they do)

 

[Rickyvol77]

That's swell.
But when dealing with national or global issues you may need to broaden your perspective a little.

No one cares what the “globe” thinks about the US and its Constitution

 

[Rickyvol77]

Lol go ahead, I’ll bite. What are your rational and reasonable controls and regulations?

One is making it illegal to purchase more than one gun a month or some sillyness

 

[luthervol]

Oh so you're saying we need to get rid of democrats, that's something worth discussing.

I'll trade you one for one with republicans.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Wrong. This makes matters worse - as you go larger in scale (national, global) the value of labeling people you don't know and have not interacted with or learned anything about decreases; particularly when you use subjective, dichotomous criteria such as idiot/non-idiot.

He is huge on assumptions, biases and feelz. But not so much on logic and reality

So why the obsession with guns?

Is that how you feelz?

I would trust my teenage kids to put the gun up. My parents never had our guns locked up and me and my brothers had friends over without anyone getting shot. Same in my house with our kids.

I'll take that deal.

 

[hog88]

So why the obsession with guns?

It's an obsession with rights.

You should be asking yourself that question.

I've never once advocated for taking away anyone's 2a right.

Owning firearms isn’t “obsession”. You are the one who is obsessed and worried about inanimate objects

Which proves what? Some are responsible and some are not? Stop the presses.

Yeah you have.

Bingo! Don't punish the responsible because some aren't.

I never claimed owning a firearm was an obsession.
Fighting against any and all rational and reasonable regulations and controls is an obsession and nutty.

 

[luthervol]

Yeah you have.

I haven't.

lol.....That's sort of the way life works.
Were you born yesterday?

No different that fighting against infringements on the other 9 in the BORs.

I know that's how it has worked and it should be fought every step of the way.

 

[luthervol]

It's all about what constitutes an infringement - and who ultimately decides.

 

[luthervol]

I know that's how it has worked and it should be fought every step of the way.

I agree. And I do fight it every step of the way.
We just seem to have different views on how best to fight the good fight.

clearly you see the problem with this characterization - you confuse "what I want" with rational/reasonable.

as evidence they idea of relabeling semi-automatic to some as of yet undefined rate of fire metric - plenty of counter arguments have been presented to you to show why that is neither reasonable nor rational yet you persist in believing it is.
