It is a bad idea only right now in our current era because of the attitude about the object. Personal firearm ownership is not always a bad thing. But in our current climate the blind worship leads far too many to think "I have no bad intent" which is not what the left is arguing.
I am NOT against personal firearm ownership. I do say however the climate is bad in that we cant get a grip on how firearms should be viewed. I think many whom support the far right want to think it is about rights, but most of the time it really is about a want and not a need.
It is a lot like when liberal Muslims say "I wouldn't" or "I don't" which is not what the non bigots are arguing. We know, just like liberal Muslims, as with gun owners, many do go into it, or think of it as tradition, which is not what the focus should be.
The real problem with any bad logic, is when the seller cannot see that their is also justification by others to do far worse in supporting the same subject.
In a utopia nobody would be bitching, and that is my point. I would love to see a day when nobody is arguing over gun ownership. But right now, I don't see how it is pragmatic to keep pumping out the number of guns we do and still expect the violence to go down.
