Wait, is that the only person I pointed to?
Quote:The foundation of your thread is based on gross mischaracterizations. I'm not sure where you go from here as you try to salvage a reasonable argument.
How about a very simple set of easily answered questions?
1. Have there been calls to repeal the 2nd amendment of late?
2. Has the frequency of those calls, if you feel they are being made, increased over past periods?
3. Was there not a call for strict gun control measures at a rally attended by numerous Democratic members of Congress?
4. If yes to 3, did you not see that one of the speakers stated, if they give us an inch we will take a mile?
5. If yes to 5, should not every politician who attended that rally disavow such a statement if they disagree with it? As a follow up, if a member of congress attended a rally in which Farrakhan made anti-Semitic remarks would their failing to condemn such remarks be taken as at the very least tacit approval?
6. Of the two parties, which party pushes gun control as a platform issue?
7. Have blue state government imposed gun control measure far in excess of those put in place by the federal government?
8. Lastly, given the above, should anyone who believes in the right for private citizens to own firearms logically trust the Democratic party when they claim they want "common sense" gun control and nothing more?
