Originally posted by guacamole View PostIf, through legal constitutional means, total gun prohibition was enacted, then I support the gov. in enforcing laws. Do you not?
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separationThat whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by guacamole View PostI mean, I support law enforcement. If, through legal constitutional means, total gun prohibition was enacted, then I support the gov. in enforcing laws. Do you not?"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Originally posted by Sparko View PostThe point remains: Optimally you want law abiding citizens to have access to guns for self protection and other legal uses while preventing criminals from obtaining the guns illegally. Banning all guns merely makes it impossible for people to get guns legally but doesn't stop criminals from getting them illegally. Just like if you banned all opioides. They have legitimate uses. Why would you want to stop allowing law abiding citizens from getting pain relief just to stop some criminals from misusing them? Banning opioides is not the answer. Banning guns is not the answer.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostWhat if, through legal constitutional means, "kill all liberals" was enacted. Would you support law enforcement and the government in enforcing laws?"Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI don't think it would be nearly as easy as you think. I believe that if, say, a woman wanted to kill her husband while a gun ban was enacted, it would be relatively complicated and expensive for her to find an illegal gun smuggler to sell her a weapon. Not nearly as easy, I don't believe, as going to one's local Walmart and purchasing said gun from there. But I repeat myself, as I've already made this point a few times. If you sincerely think it would be as easy or easier than going to Walmart, then I don't know what more to say. We disagree fundamentally.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Originally posted by Zymologist View PostActually no, I wouldn't. I'd give up my guns, for a few reasons. (Thanks for the assumption, btw)"Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,

Originally posted by guacamole View PostThis is a fun game. That law couldn't be passed Constitutionally."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

I'm simply trying to tease out what people think from what they post."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
