Gun control

RE: Gun control
(September 30, 2013 at 8:06 pm)Zazzy Wrote: A main theme of the article (and of my general experience, which I realize comes to about fuck-all) is that the gun culture/NRA (is there a difference?) absolutely refuses to even have a conversation about how to make gun laws which make life safer- laws forcing parents to keep guns safe, designing smart guns, keeping guns out of the hands of lunatics. They seem to always construct the strawman of "You're trying to take my guns away!"

That, or they trot out the "more kids die in car accidents than get shot by guns" argument, as if there's a certain acceptable number of children who die by guns that they're willing to live with (and probably are), instead of trying to save those children who do accidentally die from a firearm. Even if it saves one child I'd think that would be enough. I mean, what kind of price do you put on a child's life?

Like I've said, I don't want my children to die just so some gun owner can feel safe.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
