We can do both. We can curb the proliferation of assault weapons — without infringing on Second Amendment rights — and address a culture spawning too many violent teens. We have to. [More]No "we" can't, Ernest Hooper, if by "we" you include "you."
Because "we," which includes "I" won't let you.
It's real simple about "a culture spawning violent teens. "Everybody's clear on how babies are made, right?
Same thing with guns: It boils down to self control.
Now, if your theory is that somehow making me responsible for paying for the poor choices of others, that taking away my rights will make one bit of difference for people who refuse to live like rational and responsible free human beings, my answer is "No." And I don't think it would be a stretch to include some friends in that response and call it "our" answer.
That's not our/my problem. I suggest you not make it our/my problem.
Because "we," including "I" see an idiot like you, meaning you personally, coming up with utter crap like NAACP gun buy-backs, and realize you don't have the first clue as to what the hell you're talking about. And "we," including "I" have no intention of letting a liberty incompetent have any say in "our" unalienable rights.
