I'll state my opinion the same as you do, little man. I'm no gun-grabber, but I'm not going to stick my head in the sand at our epidemic of gun violence, either.
The use of insurance is a time-honored and traditional way to allocate and mitigate risk. I offered my proposal for purposes of discussion, and have entered into this conversation in good faith. The Second Amendment - by its plain language - does not support your extreme and selfish position. It has been held by Justice Scalia himself to be subject to reasonable regulation. The gun-grabbers don't want what's reasonable, but I do. I only support regulation that is efficacious and does not unduly burden the right to self-defense cited by Justice Scalia.
Epidemic of Gun Violence is Politicized CDC Speak.
From the same CDC which has included in its Children Killed by Firearms numbers, ALL youth up to age 25.
Translation?
When was Gun Violence discovered to be transmitted by a contagious virus or bacteria?
You're Medicalizing something which is None of any Doctor's business.
That's called Scientism to push a Political Agenda. It is NOT science but the Opposite of Science.
CDC sticks inner-city gang members who kill each other over street drug profits into the numbers to lie to the American people.
Let the uneducated/undecided schlubs think the numbers of 'Children' killed by 'Preventable, Needless' Gun Violence were all innocent toddlers and grade school kids.
Justice Scalia was a Supreme Court Judge who enjoyed the dinner company of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. He was not God.
Let's not get into SCOTUS being infallible, shall we?
Or we'll veer off into another 60 pages of Dred Scott.
You only support regulation that is 'Reasonable'.
Who the hell appointed You the arbiter of Reasonable?
As for Efficacious you've blithely glossed over, flat out ignored, and sailed right past every take down of efficacious for numerous pages already.
So why would it be Reasonable or Efficacious to burden people who've already proven they're not going to commit murder with yet More gun laws that Anyone can circumvent if they want to?
