i just wonder what the rest of you would think, i should have explained but wanted a few gut reactions first.
this guy i know is totally against guns. well totally non violent, and with guns existing he;s not against rights but would rather see them all go away.
so i say to him sure, you think you can just round up all the guns and make them go away and he says "sure"
and i think he believes that. and then so i say well how cna you think we couldn't also get rid of drugs and make abortion illegal also? "
and his reply was what got me thinking i should see how some of you felt.
"that's genie is out of the bottle"
he and i beleive many , think outlawing some of these things is possible while for others it isnt.
NOW= i do hear some of you, the abortion issue is a bit different, and is comparable to slavery in some respects, regardless, i would have left it out myself but it was part of the original statement by my friend, and i believe this to be too often the liberal mindset.
that drugs and abortion won't go away, but guns will.
lets call it this way= drugs won't go away so should be legalized, but guns should be taken away because we can round them all up and end gun violence.
(let's hold our breath as the idiot liberal mentality has no concept of a gun's usefulness in the hands of a 98 lb woman against a 250 lb man)
so what i am getting at is this = we got two sides at a loggerhead over stupid issues, each thinking they can make the other go away.
we made drugs illegal here, so it is produced clandestine, or smuggled in.
the same would and does hold true for guns.
point being i laughed pretty hard when this guy told me guns could be removed from the earth, but other things couldn't be.
at the same time , so many people seem to think certain drugs can be removed from the world, but no matter what guns will exist. equally laughable. a compelete joke. herb is practically legal in CA already.
then you factor in alcohol, caffeine and nicotine remain legal.
personally i feel if drugs were legal, crime would drop so radically gun laws would become practically irrelevant.
you wouldnt have kids in gangs in turf wars, oine of the biggest killers in CA, and primary reason for many of our laws- when a young idiot shoots someone here, even if the shooting wasn't drug dealing related, you can bet his ownership of a gun is.
it is incredibly obvious gun control does very little to stop crime, and does nothing but scare the public.
why can't anyone agree to some sort of trade off. realize we got 2 losing battles, call it a tie.
