Regulating my rights means altering them from what they are to something less,
that is taking away rights by regulating them.

Do you have the right to keep and bear nuclear arms?

No, do you?

I believe the possession by civilians of certain poisons and bombs is actually against the law, as is strangulation, deliberately running people over with trucks and cars, and I even think crashing jets into buildings is illegal. We're discussing guns, here, and whether their removal from the hands of the American populous would make America a safer place in which to l ...[text shortened]... art is a muscle for pumping blood around the circulatory system, and is I think otherwise blameless.

Killing people with guns is against the law, but that doesn't seem to stop that
from occurring as well as deaths by all of the other means; why, because we
have hearts that don't care about our fellow man as we should, not because
we have laws against this or the other thing.

Do you accept that there must be some limitations on the arms you are permitted to keep and bear?

Do you think people who are clinically insane or who have, say, debilitating dementia have the unregulated right to keep and bear arms?

What if we put camera's so we could
watch an abortion take place, watching the little bodies being ripped apart while
alive, or having their heads punctured and brains sucked out or seeing the little
the body's torn apart so the parts could be sold; think that would change minds?

Yes I do. Do you think it would make any difference to the debate?

What does Trump or Republicans have to do with anything I have said? You are
allowing your prejudice to show. There is nothing wrong or evil with buying a gun

You are parroting the same disingenuous debating points that Trump, Republicans, and representatives of arms manufacturers make, and then you blank out or run away from the replies to what you say. Just like those figures in your public domain do. The comparison is apt

You are splitting hairs nothing is wrong with buying guns, as long as you think you can tell others what they can buy. Which is regulating gun ownership, at least be honest about what you are doing and why.

But you ALSO believe that the right "to keep and bear arms" should be regulated. Why are you being so disingenuous about this?
