Where does society draw the line between what is appropriate and what is inappropriate?
In the congress and the courts.
It seems to me that the pro-gun lobby would be happy to have guns de-regulated to the point where the american-taliban-fundamentalist-zealots can arm themselves and train to kill abortion doctors and any other person they disagree with, simply because they have the right to bear arms.
A bit of hyperbole? I do not think anyone here is saying this and I don't think a cogent reading of the NRA would support this view.
No one, except the usual sociopath, is saying you have the right to shoot someone just because they flip you the bird or make foul noises. Nor is anyone saying you can shoot anyone in the privacy of your home just because they call your wife ugly.
What we are saying is that, in your home, if your life or the lives of your family are threatened, then, yes, you have a right to kill the bastards. And you have a right to possess the gun to do it with. And you had better have corroborating evidence of such a threat or your butt will end up in jail.
You may disagree with this, and that’s fine, but, please RAZD, don’t make more of it than it is.
