With Elvis or other hoplophobes there is no debate or discussion. It’s not like I’m under the false belief that he would ever modify his beliefs. Like Der Thris - whenever anyone actually engages them it’s not for them, but for other readers. That’s the impression I get at least, YMMV. **Elivs **asked what rights have been given up and should be taken back and when Kable answered honestly (without ducking!) they are dismissed as trivial and evidence that no restrictions would be acceptable. That’s a ridiculous excuse for a debate. No, there is no debate with people like Elvis and other hoplophobes.
I’d be glad to have an actual debate - and have in prior threads. Just not with Elvis. That would be as productive as having a debate with the crazy person muttering to himself on the bus. Like I said, his feigned concern over perceived credibility is a poorly crafted ruse. People who support the RKBA don’t care what people like **Elvis **and other hoplophobes think. At all. His opinions are like…lint. Feel free to take a poll, it could be, “Do people who self identify as supporters of the 2nd amendment and the RKBA care what **Elvis **thinks?” But for the sake of other readers who may see his ideas and think they go unchallenged - that’s the only reason at all to respond.
Did someone give you a phrase a day calendar? You must think that saying “no ducking” is some clever tactic for you to use it so much. Like it’s some kind of gotcha! Obvious question has an obvious answer - there are many rights in play of course. Now your turn - Which do you think is greater in an average year, the number of people who defend themselves with firearms, or the number of people who are killed by firearms?
A person’s status as a victim adds no weight or credibility to their beliefs in our system of laws more than my own. We evaluate our laws based on their merits, not anecdotes from selected victims. If one of those individuals who was a victim believed that they could have prevented a tragedy had they been allowed to be armed, would that sway you? No ducking!
Where does one enjoy this freedom?
