Go ahead, destroy conservatism for a generation, in service to your selfishness and willful disregard of the community's legitimate concerns over mass shootings.
But engaging on the issue, conservatives can help shape the details of laws to make sure they are efficacious and respectful of the rights of law abiding gun owners. But if bullying is all the extremists have got, then I'll cheer when the Courts take their rights away.
WTH do you care about "conservatism?" I have yet to see a post of yours arguing a conservative position on any issue with a degree of controversy swirling around it.
The "community" is free to have as many legitimate concerns as they wish, on a whole host of issues.
However, the "community" is not authorized to interfere with natural rights.
You understand that, yes? The rights that are endowed upon mankind by its Creator.... or put another way for those not all that keen on the concept of a "Creator," the rights that are endowed upon mankind by the
nature of his humanity....
Yes, those rights.... you and the "community" have no say about them. Not one iota.
