I'm afraid that there is no room for disagreement on this, with me, about what does and does not infringe upon our rights. We do not consider any of the things I mentioned to be unconstitutional..and that, for us, is the metric by which we measure infringement. All of those safeguards I mentioned can and do exist simultaneously with my right to own a firearm. None of them have prevented me from owning a firearm - or even inconvenienced me in the pursuit thereof. None of our rights extend into absurdity, that's just not how we conceive of them. A felon no longer -has- the right to a firearm...so there's no infringing upon it, understand? I don't have a problem with removing or limiting the rights of those who misuse them in order to hurt people - and neither does our constitution. I have a problem with removing or limiting the rights of people, because someone -else- is willing to hurt people. Particularly when there is no need to do so, and no shortage of other means available and in evidence capable of achieving our stated ends. Understand?
Guns don't make crime more violent, nor do they make for more violent crime, unless your metric for "more violent" is -was a gun involved?-...rendering the discussion futile from the outset.
