The whole comment is poorly presented
From my view, whic seems to mirror your own, the entire premise of the first paragraph is convoluted and one sided. "Obama's plan to attack Americans right to keep and bear arms" sounds pretty biased in it's context. Is Obama REALLY out to "attack" people's rights? or does he propose that some changes need to be made for the nation and to safely progress?
"as a means to end gun violence" I could be wrong but I highly doubt he's said as much, at least not in that simple context. It is a means to help reduce unnecessary deaths and greater CONTROL will most likely validate the effort.
Once again, how many lives saved does it take to make it a valid solution?
It's a bit of a trick question really. IF the answer is 1, then clearly it shows a value toward human life. If you say 10 or 50 or 100, then one's humanity is questionable. The question is still very valid though, if one is to deny such actions as being valid, then they surely have a value placed on human life and HOW MUCH VALUE is the key question, which any 'freedom of gun ownership' supporter can not honestly answer.
The whole registry idea even upsets some. As Max said, not to point fingers but purely as example, he wouldn't feel comfortable with the serials of his guns being kept in a central registry by the government. It's completely understandable that one would feel almost violated and sharing similar information makes a person uneasy. I've felt the same way about other issues with government knowledge of my activities.
Nobody seems to mind them having a record of your vehicle registration though.
What's the difference with guns? They are just as lethal, if not more, than a car?
I understand there are over 5000 THOUSAND gun shows in the US each year! It's simply a staggering number, more than car shows, electronics shows, boat shows, home shows etc. and I mean a LOT more.
LOL, without even reading it, I had replied to the registration comment with the same view as yourself.
As for your newly found political status, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm tagged as a left wing, tree hugging , commie, socialist.
In reality I am none of the above though.
