Harris proved that theory right again during an event last week in Iowa.
“i’m a gun owner. I own a gun for probably the same reason a lot of people do, for personal safety. I’m a former prosecutor,” Harris told reporters with an uncomfortable laugh. “In terms of gun policy though, I think that for too long, and still today, we are being offered a false choice, which suggests you’re either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away. It’s a false choice.”
I agree with her. You can own guns and support the right to own guns, but not support unrestricted gun access. The latter doesn’t make you against the 2A. It’s not an all or nothing proposition.
No, my argument is the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what is/is not constitutional, and while I may not like a particular decision I respect it because I follow the rule of law.
I am being truthful, and I think you are mistaken. Yes, there are many Dems that would prefer taking guns away, but there are just as many Dems that support the 2A and the rights of citizens to own guns.
To me, I don’t approach it as gun control, but think in terms of gun safety. And I don’t have any ideas how we get there. If I were president I would initiate a commission to study gun safety, involving supporters of both sides of the issue, calling for public hearings so all aspects of the issue are given consideration. Let’s talk about gun safety first. No decisions or new laws, just start with getting information out to the public.
If you want to ridicule my opinions straight out of the gate, why did you start the thread? If you think the 2A means nobrestrictions, why didn’t you just say so?
