The more we debate this, the simpler it becomes.
1. Do I want to see instances of violence reduced in the U.S.; yes, or no?
2. Do I want to see increased legislative measured aimed at firearms; yes, or no?
3. Would I be willing to agree to (2), if it directly led to (1); yes, or no?
4. If "no" to (3), is it because I believe (2) would not directly impact (1); yes, or no?
5. If "yes" to (4), do I believe other solutions would be more impactful; yes, or no?
6. Would I agree to another solution if it infringed on other rights; yes, or no?
My answers are as follows:
1. Yes
2. No
3. No
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. No
The problem is violence, not the tools used to commit it, or the rights preserved in spite of it. Any rights we surrender in the interest of "safety" inevitably result in the loss of more rights over time, and eventually..."safety" without value.
Violence is the enemy...champion love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control...the rest will follow.
