3. The gist: with proper regulation, there shouldn't be ANY need to "confiscate yer guns." K&R

Auto-driving is regulated, but as long as you follow the common-sense laws regarding their use, there's no need to confiscate yer truck.

Likewise, it should be the same with guns.

Sure, the Constitution guarantees yer right to have a firearm, I suppose, whereas cars are optional. But that doesn't mean their use cannot or should not be regulated. You say the Constitutional right to bear arms was intended to safeguard the country, but so far we're just paying a terrible price in the deaths of American citizens.


(Note: all references to "you" and "yer" refer to the right-wing gun lobby and apologists.)
