Remarkable fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 27/05/2022 03:55:54 AM

You go through an entire breakdown of something that isn't a ban, explain how it isn't a ban, and yet land on the opposite position.

I have no idea why you expect me to shed tears about the difficulty of procuring or storing a gun. It should absolutely be damn hard.

We make plenty of things hard. Becoming a doctor is hard. Becoming a lawyer is hard. Getting to fly a plane is hard.

We gatekeep a lot of things in society, when there is rational interest at doing so. You may disagree that gun violence warrants such restrictions. But that doesn't mean these laws equal a ban.
