Your argument is just silly.


You are missing the point. Just read what EAllusion said

Here they are for State of Florida:

- Pull over and stop in a safe place out of traffic.

- Roll down the driver's side car windows to give the officer a clear view inside the vehicle as he or she approaches.

- Hands in plain view on the steering wheel at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions with fingers spread.

- Answer questions with a simple yes or no response when possible. If the officer asks if there is a weapon in the vehicle describe the weapon and where it is located and inform the officer whether or not you have a CCW.

- Ask permission before reaching for your wallet or purse or before reaching inside the center console or glove box for identification or registration.

- Smile. (OK, this one is not official, but the Sheriff's deputy who lives next door says it never hurts.)

"I know literally nothing about the history of firearms law and the 2nd Amendment," said Markk.

Driving a car is a privilege, not a right.

"I also have no idea how due process works, or that statutory rights are a thing," he added.

There is a big difference. Alcohol and drugs get you addicted. There is no addiction for guns. Alcohol and drugs are on high demand, the same wouldn't be true with illegal weapons.

No you are missing my point that the argument is dumb.

It must just be a coincidence that every single place in the world that has stricter gun laws than the U.S. also has a lower rate of violence with guns.

It's very fitting that this discussion is happening on a board created as a reaction to Mormon apologetics, since we're going all in with the same kind of reasoning. "Why rely on knowable facts about the external world, when I can propose ludicrous hypotheticals about things I'm making up as I go?"

Markk, I would like to see a single case from the last 600 years of Anglo-American law that says a person has an absolute right to own a firearm with no governmental conditions. Thanks in advance.

NO Markk! It's just your own contradiction. You said, "I would not like some fat old man crapping and farting, or wiggling his penis next to my grand daughter, daughter, and wife"

It is a perfectly valid point! But would laws prohibiting men in ladies room stop predators and criminals? Please answer. If yes, then you now know why we need gun control.

Or simply watch the video so you can understand my point
