The Second Amendment itself is debatable. But my position is the same as it was before this tragic week: I support a ban on all privately held handguns, period. In fact, I believe the manufacturing of handguns for private use should be outlawed.That's the "liberal" position according to USA Today. What do the antis call that? "Reasonable gun control"?
Here's what they'd have us believe is the "conservative" counterpunch:
As for the assault-weapons ban, life went on for the 10 years that the ban was in place, so I'm not averse to reauthorizing it.Neat trick by the "authorized journalists"--if you fall outside their parameters of a total ban on handguns and a total ban on semiautomatics, why you're an extremist!
Cal Thomas, you are a hollow fraud.
At least a fleeting mention of VTech's disarmament policy made it into in the "debate."
