Well, what about the fact that "people with guns" are taking away other people's right to LIFE? Isn't the right to LIFE more precious than your so-called "right to own a gun"?

The second thing these gun nuts usually wave in your face after they wave a gun is their bible. I seem to remember something in that bible about "thou shall not kill." Isn't that the most important thing !

(34,179 posts)A couple of shotguns, a .22 rifle, a wall hanger from 1851. How am I taking away anybody's "right to life"? I've never shot anybody, never even pointed a gun at anyone, and haven't hunted for years. So how am I taking away anybody's right to life?

(2,436 posts)There can be no such thing as a "right" to the means of conveniently depriving others of all their genuine rights at the whim of a shooter.
What we have, and what there can only be, is a political indulgence of guns and ammunition in the hands of the public.
That indulgence is, at worst, hostile to, and at best, in blatant disregard of genuine rights.
I own a few guns as well, and am an Atheist(nice stereotype we get), I have never harmed anyone with them nor do I intend to do so. How am I taking anyone's "right" to life?
