Do you subscribe to that idea, or are you merely propogating it?
In any case, you should check here every week for an inexhaustible supply of Conservative idiots. Updated
weekly, because Conservative idiocy just keeps coming!

Well, here’s the thing--
I am becoming increasingly swayed to ‘the dark side’. Let me clear this up--I
will never personally own a gun. I don’t like ‘em, and I fundamentally believe
that they are a statement of ‘giving up’ on any other action or recourse.
That said, I also believe that people have the inherent right to freely choose
waht they want to do with their lives, as long as those choices don’t impact on
my life. So go ahead, own your gun. The second that gun ends up taking away
the freedom(s) of other law abidig citizens, however, you have lost your ‘right’
to own a gun.
I think this idea should apply to not just guns but cars, etc. If a person gets
caught whilst DUI--zero tolerance--immediate license seizure. A ‘one strike
and you’re out’ idea, for you have shown you can’t be trusted to use a car in a
proper manner. Likewise, if you own a gun and it ends up, unauthorized, in a
childs posession, or is used in an unlawful manner, then you have forfeited your
rights to own a gun for you have clearly shown you are not responsible enough to
own one. Dogs, lawnmowers, whatever--you must be responsible for the ‘lawful
use’ of items in your posession.
I will exclude thievery---if someone steals your gun, just like if someone stole
your car, and used it in a crime, you have no juristiction over said object and,
as such, should suffer no legal ramificaitons.
You abuse the right, you should have the right taken away from you, no matter
what ‘it’ is. I don’t believe that people in jail should have the right to vote
for, by the fact that they’re incarcerated, means that they have shunned society
law and convention, so why should they ‘reap the rewards’ of said society? No
vote for you! Come back when you’re out of the joint!
There. That’s my concession on gun ownership ;)
